wv THAT is there about a wom-
" an enduring enough to
satisfy q man for all
time? Is It her beauty
that enslaVes him? Is II her brain
capacityT Ii II her ability to be
his comrade? what Is it? 1 think
the answer lies in that simple little
vord-chRrm.
CoraliS when she married Kim
Reynolds was The loveliest thing TO
look at that could possibly be imaE-
ined- She was so lovely that no
one stopped to think whether she
had a brain or not Most people
did not think It necessary for her
10 possess anything else but her
!. looks.
But CoTslis did have Q brain, and
she knew how|to use It. sne knew
quite well that although Rimbssay
Reynolds loved her madly just now.
that love would be short lived IL
she expected her looks to do every
/ thing for her in the way of keAp-
Ing ~
CorAIIe did not make her clever
ness too obvious. She pretended.
as any clever woman can who tries,
that she valued her looks above
everything. and, possessed OF an
abundance OF worldly wealth. she
dressed exquisitsly. Kim was more
in love with her after their frst
year together than he had been
when he married her.
Met All His Moods.
CoraIis had many sides. and she
took the trouble to study Kim.
When he came home from the Of
flee, tired and worn out, sho was
the sympathetic friend and COM
rade. She would refrain from ca
rsssing him, but would perch In
stead on the chSir opposite him and
chat costly, tell:3F him funny lit
tie incidsnta OF the day; or she
would tramp with him in the rain,
her attitude utterly Lon-committai,
like another mans would be. When
Kim was ready to be the lover,
coralis was all soft surrender and
feminine charm, or utterly dazzling
in her beauty: and when Kim
talked on topics Of the day, CoraIis
would startle him with the know1-
edge she possessed Of current
events.
The world saw little OF Coraiie's
clever side. but was content. new

CLUB BOOSTING PLAN
 FOR NEW MAIL ROUTE

The Nenana Commercial club has become actively engaged in move ment, started by the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce to change the routing of Interior mails to the Broad Pass trail.
 The matter was brought to the attention of the club in letter from the Anchorage organization, read at the meeting held last Sun day. It was pointed out that the distance between rail heads by the end of next summer would not ex- ceed one hundred miles and that the service between the States and h. terior Alaska points could be great ly improved by carrying the mail over the railroad, to the two ends of the line and by sleighs across the gap.
 Realizing the importance of the suggested change, the club decided

COAST PAPER INSISTS
 RIGGS WILL GET SEAT

The editor Of the Seward Gateway insists that Thos. Riggs, Jr. is slated for appointment as governor of Alaska and that his name will be sent to the senate for confirmation sometime during January. The re- port, says the Gateway editor, comes from the highest authority and is not to be questioned. He says fur ther, that Mir. Riggs returned to Ne mana from the coast for the purpose of winding up his affairs as railroad commissioner with view to accept ng the governorship. By the time he reaches Washington, the same au- thority states, everything will have been lined up for the appointment. @ "Those who have been in close touch of political affairs" the ar ticle continues, "know that the name of Governor Strong was sent to the president by Secretary Lane about two months ago. The name was re- turned by the president, simply marked unsatisfactory |" This ls regarded as conclusive proof that a change is to be made at an early date.

BOYS RAISE FLAG
 AT SCHOOLHOUSE

A large American flag was un- furled to the breeze at the school house yesterday and now floats proudly from the top of the mast which stands sentinel on the school reserve. The honor of raising the flag to its lofty position was be- slowed upon Louis and Carlton Schmidt, in recognition of the fact that the boys are pioneer residents of the town, having lived here before the commencement of railroad con struction. They attended school at the mission before the town was laid out.
 An interesting feature in connec- tion with the flag raising is the fact that the ceremony took place out of doors, with the temperature lowering close to 40 degrees below zero and all the pupils looking on, unmindful of the cold.

to take immediate action and will cooperate in every way possible with the Anchorage and Seward commercial bodies. Wires have been sent to Commissioners Edes and Riggs and to Delegate Suizer, point ing out the advantages of the Broad Pass route and asking their assist ance in prevailing upon the post office department to make the de- sired change before next winter.
 The Broad Pass route will reduce the trail haul two thirds, which is re- garded as a convincing argument in favor of the change And the rout- ing of lower river mail by way of Nenana also will result in the saving of many miles and a considerable saving in time between the Outside and lower Panama and Yukon points. which doubtless will have much weight with department officials.

AGITATION STARTS
 ID BUY SIBERIA

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15.-An agitation has been started for the purchase of Siberia by the United States. A number of influential newspapers have given their support to the movement and it is receiving endorsement in every quarter. There is said to be a strong sentiment in favor of the purchase in Siberia and strong influence is now being brought to bear on the American government to start negotiations immediately.
 The acquisition of Siberia by the United States would open vast territory of great wealth in gold and other minerals to settlement by American pioneers, many thousands of whom are eager to embrace the opportunity to assist in the develop ment of the Russian territory
