ers till they think it's hades snyway
for them, so they take a delight in
raising it on home territory"
Won't be tanned, eh?"
Il should say, no. You see, it's a
big joint there where they dispense
the hotstuff. Only one license is al
lowed by the town and another will
never be issued when that one ex-
pires. It's when the bad ones get
fired up that the trouble commences.
Cut out the booze and the loafing
place and the mission might draw
Who runs il? asked Jim thought
fully.
"A man named Ward. He is con-
sumptive and wants to sell out to go
South. Why, where are you going?"
as Jim in his impetuous way put on
his hat and started for the door.
Back to where you came from,
Ironton. I've got my tip. There's ten
dollars for your work. Thanks"
The Golden Horn, for such was the
name of the one tavern in lronton,
changed hands one week later, James
Frawley. sole proprietor. If Jim's
method of reaching a final goal OF
good at the cost of incidental wicked
ness of no ordinary character along
his line of progress was crude, it had
sensational embellishments.
Mr.. Winslow, arriving at Ironton
and beginning his duties, was amazed
to find this brand from the burning"
dispensing fiery fluid to the weak and
thirsty of Ironton. He met Jim on
the street and limited gently at his
backward step. Jim was iron. He
knew his business-good day!
None of the brawlers invaded the
mission. Jim kept them too busy for
that. He ran the Golden Horn at
mad-riot pace. He dispensed free
cigars and liquor lavishly. He encour-
aged brawls, he sold to minors and at
the end of two weeks his various mis-
demeanors justified the authorities In
canceling his license and closing up
the place.
I'm through" announced Jim bland
ly, appearing Unexpectedly before Rev.
Abbott Winslow one day. "The only
liquor license in Ironton is Cancelled
and there1l never be another one. i
bought out the Golden Horn, so own
the lease. I'm thinking of fitting 1t up
as a gymnasium and club for the crowd
and gently drift 'em up against you,
see?"

money, he was loyal to his friend, he
decided to become rustler and reform
err combined. Some of his old custom
ers drifted across country to dis
tant groggery when they needed re-
freshment Most of them fell unsus.
pectingly under the wiles OF Jim's
plan.
II hardly know what to say in the
way of gratitude for your great aid to
Mr.. Winslow," said Miss Rankin,
meeting Jim on the street one day.
Don't try to- laughed Jim, but
there's something I'd like to say to
you, if l don't offend"
What is that" inquired Ada
Mr.. Winslow. Young lady, he's
wearing his heart away thinking about
you. You see ! know it. just give
you the tip"
Ada blushed more beautiful than
ever. Jim chuckled to himself as she
passed on. for. keen-witted fellow that
he was, he noted a new happiness in
her bonny face.

OFFERED HEADS TO SULTAN
Unusual Infraction of Mohammedan
Etiquette Explained to Satisfac-
ton of Russian Ambassador.

The Importance of Adrianople for
the Turks has largely been strategic
one-mingled with the sentiment they
feel for it as the first city OF any size
they captured in Europe, and the seat
of one of the most famous Of their
mosques. The author OF "The Revolt
of a City" was probably an Oriental
forerunner of our own western town
boosters. STILL the fact remains that
even after the fall of Constantinople
the place continued to be favorite
resort of the sultans. Adrianople had
something besides war to talk about in
1867, for instance, when the ambassa-
doris of Austria, France, Persia, Poland
and Ragusa came to present the re-
spects Of their governments to the
newly succeeded son of Suleiman the
Magnificent. The Persian was the last
to arrive. When he made his state en-
trance into the city he was met by the
Turkish authorities and by the other
ambassadors and their suites. He was
astounded by the fact that these last
took off their hats as he passed, 1t be-
ing serious breach of etiquette for
Mohammedan to uncover his head in
public, and he demanded an explana-
ton of the extraordinary gesture. The
master of ceremonies, famous poet
and wit Of his time called Shemsi
Pasha, told him that the Christian am
bassadors thereby signified their will
ingness to leave their heads at the feet
of Sultan Selim H.-H. G.. Dwight, In

GEOLOGICAL Data.

A strange fact, and one of the great
est scientific significance, is that all
the mollusks of the western mountain
regions of the United States show in
a most marked degree a closer rela-
tionship to the mollusca of Asia than
that of the eastern portion of the Unit
ed States. which, coupled with the
fact that this is also true of some Of
the mammals of the Western states,
gives great weight to the theory that
there once existed a land bridge be.
tween Asia and the continent Of North
America, and that the Eastern and
Western United States were divided
by large inland sea.

The words of her father aroused in
Ada thought and anxiety. How long,
indeed, would Mr.. Winslow last with
the unruly mob who resented intru-
sion on what they called their rights?

some of the rough ones. Mr.. Winslow

Meantime, at the mission in the
city a certain James Frawley, other
wise known as Big Jim,' was arrang-
ing to give some credtable help to
the young man who had so impressed
Ada Rankin. Jim was a natural prod
uct of the slums. He had lorded it
over all the other hoodlums until they
were forced to acknowledge his SUI
premacy. He had run the gauntlet
of police supervision until he had
gained a very bad name.
One day he stood in the prisoner s
dock, good for tenner," his pals
had decided, for Jim had become
mixed up in a very bad case of high
way robbery. One man in the dis
trict stood by him. 1t was Rev. Alb
bolt Winslow. Jim had no part in the
actual crime. II was a case of keep
ing bad company. Mr. Winslow had
done him kindness some time pre-
vious. Jim had remembered it and
sneal3d into the mission several
times. One night rowdy crew start

Eel Caught in Chimney.

While fishing in Kiamesna lake w.
j. Groom caught big eel incased in
a lamp chimney, from which it could
not free itself.
Two years ago Mr. Groom had
caught the eel in a net at night, and
when taken on shore it knocked over
a table lamp, ran through the chimney
and escaped into the lake, the glass
inclosing the head and several inches
of the eel. Although the lake is wide,
deep and stony, the glass was not
even Clipped. The chimney had worn
a deep groove in the body Of the eel,

Mayor Stewart Shows How Gravity System
 Can Be Utilized
 to Advantage.
COUNCIL SECURES COST
Action Will Be Taken at a Special Meet ing to Be Held
 on Friday.

The City Council at last nights meeting failed to take any action in regard to bettering the fire fight ing system for the city, except to postpone further discussion until next Friday night in order to se- cure additional data as to costs Of installing reservoirs and mains.
 The discussion or the fire engine became quite intense at times and several times harsh things were said about the present Juneau water system. The fire committee recom- mended the purchase of an automo- bile fire pumping engine of l2O horsepower. with capacity of 900 gallons Of water per minute.
 Mayor Stewart outlined plan for a gravity system with storage tanks which he has been working on for some time The plan calls for a tank to be built underground in the ridge above the present tanks, either by tunneling in for 250 feet, or by making a shorter tunnel with an enlarged chamber on the end to hold approximately l50.O00 gallons Of water. the reservoir to be filled with an electrically driven pump from the main reservoirs on top Of the hill. The reservoir also would be connected with the regular sys- tetm of mains by means of valves operated by electricity and controll- ed from the fire station. lt was stated at last nights meeting that the system would allow a pressure of 125 pounds at any time and that the approximate cost, would be about SlO.OOO. This system would not only be exceptional for fighting conflagrations but would give bet ter water system to ridge residents.
 Several of those present favored the plan while others opposed it.. Some thought that the plumbing in the town section would not stand the pressure while others stated the water mains would not stand the
