"That man Is creature Of habit"

the last figure of the set was 6 and not

"With the birth of a new year, how

they err. Take this-case, for instance.
You see the writer has turned out

probably reread it and sealed it salts.

thought to look at the date, at least
the year part of it. The result is that
instead Of dating 1t January, 1917, hs
has dated it January, 1916. Just {
mechanical error, that's all.
"a peculiar phase Of the matter is
that the error is usually made by per
sons who write their own correspond

raphers who are paid to write the cor

ed for this hour and she was glad.
They had faced death too nearly for
any hesitation now. She knew he
loved her. and knew that he had
saved her Mt the imminent risk of his
own life. There had been swift yet
eternal moments when 1t seemed that
both of them, trembling on the brink,
would follow the downward rush Of
the gusset plate. Now as he strained
her to him, she lifted her face to him,
glad that she was tall enough for him
to kiss her with so slight bend of
the head.
There, under the great trusses OF
steel, amid the huge, gaunt, massive
evidences of the power Of the might,
of the mastery Of man, two hearts
spoke to each other In the silence, and
told the story that was old before the
first smeIter had ever turned the first
ore into the first bit of iron, before
Tubal Cain ever smOte the anvil; the
story of love that began with creation,
that will OutlaSt all the iron in all the
hills of the eHrth--that is as eternal
as 1t Is divine!
After that wild embrace. that first
rapturous meeting Of lips, he released
her slightly, though he still held her
closely and she was quite content.
'Tm quite calm now," he began,
"that is, am as composed as any man
could be who Is holding you In his
arms. But If it had not been for me,
YOU would never have been in danger.
1t was my fault. should have made

"But if l had not been in danger l

And if l We're not here she went on
swiftly, too happy in her love to be
mindful of anything else, II certainly
would not be dOing--this."
And of her own motion she kissed
him in the moonlight.
"And if you were not doing this
said he, making the proper return, II
might not have had the courage to tell
you"
"You haven't told NE anything-in
words" she answered, fain to hear
from his lips what she well knew from
the beating Of his heart.
"Its not too late then to tell you
that love you, that l am yours. To
give myself to you seems to be the
highest possibility In life, If you will
only take me-"
"And do you love me more than the
brldge?"

md sixteen who have the best gar. lens and raise the best and most vegetables. Papers everywhere are urging farmers and city real estate owners to make arrangements for planting every available rood Of ground with something to eat.
 Dr. p. P. Claxton, head of the United States Bureau of Education, has issued statement in which he says the idle boys and girls of the country could easily produce $75O,. 100000 worth of foodstuffs if they would energetically go to work and utilize all the ground they can find for raising vegetables.
 Farmers are urged to take every known procaution against crop fail ure and do all that is possible to ward planting the largest possible acreage and toward making every acre produce the maximum.
 A Juneauite who is jnalSing prep arations to plant q gatden and is enthusiastic over the subject said the other day that if all those who can do so will plant their town lots to vegetables the towns of Southeastern Alaska could be made to produce sev. eEal hundred thousand dollars worth of foodstuff, and that much money would be saved to Alaska for use ir other lines, and there would be that much more food for the people in the United States and the suffering ones of Europe.

 Tn speaking of the Courts decision ordering the Canyassing Board to issue a certificate of election Delegate to Congress- 10 Senator Sulzer. of our best citizens said yesterday that the Court erred; that the law should have been taken into consideration The intention of the voters all that which was necessary.
 Let those believe in such a principle put them selves in the position of Senator Sulzer and the Demo cratic party and if the intention" of the would loom up brighter than the law which provides rules and regulations governing elections. Intention in mans mind is not readable. It is left to the imagination of those whose duty it is to decide that intention That might occur, legislators enacted law to guide action, than let us follow it's mandate. To consider imagination above the law would only bring unsatisfactory results When two interests meet in opposition to another the right of one cannot be left to the imagination and the law in such must be applied. Senator Sulzer was elected according to law and 1t it is well that the law decided.
