or another worry themselves more over the rules of etiquette than try ing to realize the spirit underlying them.
 Tn the matter of cards. not every one recognizes the fact that card represents the person calling; thus it is left only when the caller has not seen the person upon whom the call is made. Of course, l am eX. cepting first calls. when it is neces.
 ary for a married lady, calling upon married lady, to leave her own card for the purpose of name and address and At Home" day-and also two of her husbands cards, one for the hostess. and the other for the host. Another point to re- member is. a card must be re- turned with a card, and a call with a call. A visiting card should al ways be sent in when paying a bust Ress call. also when inquiring of a lady as to the character of ser want.
 Young people who have vague ideas as to what is good form should re- member these points: Always to give due honor to their elders, be they men or women. Kindly con sideration for the elderly will ire quently win for q girl or young man golden opinions, even if his or her manners be a triflc gauche, and lit. tie awkwardness in speech and bear ing betray want of experience in social life.
 Unmarried girls should bear in mind that married women must al ways take precedence. This must be remembered in introducing the unmarried to married lady; also when entering and leaving the din ing room, at luncheons, dinner par ties, etc., when entering or leaving a carriage. motor car. or travelling by train.
 Speech and accent betray more, perhaps, than many, who are igno- rant of social crceds, realize. It is not only the words selected, but the right or wrong emphasis or accent which is given them. that reveals so much to the experienced. and also the intonation and infleXions of the voice This is important. for you may know all the rules of etiquette by heart, and observe them pune, tiliously, but if your speech and ac- cent are crude and uncultivated, the observance of mere rules availeth you little with people who move in the best circles.

HIGH PRICES
 PAID FOR LOTS
(ASSOClated Press.)

LONDON, Feb. 6.-The public auc- ton of German property in Nigeria which aroused so much interest in and out of parliament through oppo- sition to neutrals being allowed to bid-was held recently before large attendance of business men interest ed in the West African trade. Nine teen lots of property situated in Lagos, of the total of ninety-four, were put up and disposed of to British interests for $l,491,250.
 The biggest price of $2S0,00O was paid by a London firm for one lot comprising the freehold site and premises formerly occupied by the Woermann Steamship line, of an area of eight thousand square yards.
 The smaller lots were taken by Liverpool merchants interested in Ali. rican trade.

 . MAKING YOUR . KITCHEN PRETTY :,

:: e Q . . . . Q ' . . . . .
 Had it ever occurred to you that for the same amount of money an attractive rather than an unattractive kitchen can be made? This part of the house, where the housemother spends much of her time. receives little consideration along convenient or attractive lines. Why not have 1t pretty? There are so many ways it can be done, says the Mothers Magazine.
 The walls of the kitchen can be painted with yellow or delft blue; they can be finished in wash paint that is sanitary and requires very little time to keep clean; the wood work can be white or it may be a darker shade of yellow, both of which take very little time to keep clean. The shelves may be covered with white enamel. or oilcloth, neat ly put on with brass headed nails. If the closet room is limited the aaucepans may hang from brass hooks on the walls, ranging from the smallest to the largest sizes. A series of brass hooks is placed over he sink like those at the sides of the shelves and on these are hung different sizes of enamel spoons, dip prrs and measures; the dishpan and Irainer are kept out of sight in the sink closet.
 If the kitchen Is finished in blue, which is very effective, a roller of a hite crash with broad blue bor- ter may be placed on the door lead ing to the pantry Dutch curtains Df the blue and white crash on brass
 ols are placed at the windows. The kitchen table, when not in use, also has blue and white crash cloth. Underneath one of the windows two pine shelves may be placed and painted to match the rest of the room They hold the cook books. which are covered with removable covers of the blue and white crash.
 Window boxes can be fitted for the kitchen windows. one to hold parsley, which is most luXuriant an other to contain sweet alyssum, which blooms late in the spring,
 nd at a third window plain board shelf may be placed where sew. ua basket, book or magazine may be laid. A large rocking chair, stand ng at this window, affords restful place for odd minutes, especially on busy days.

GREETING ALLAN.

Fairbanks is soon to have a dis tinguished visitor, if all reports are Ct-distingushed for more than one reason. He is "Scotty" Allan, of Nome, elected to the Alaskan house of representatives by the peo- pie of his division at the election last November, and he is reported to be coming here on his way to Juneau, where he expects to be in attendance at the first session of the legislature on March 1.
 The election of "Scotty" to the legislature is the only honor which has ever been conferred upon him by the people, as far as can be earned by his own perseverance and indomitable pluck Chief of these is his title of King of Dog Mushers, by which he is known by reputation in every part of the world where dogs are driven and where dog mush- CTS abound. The title is not a par ticularly high sounding one, but why shouldn't "Scotty" deserve just as much credit for his works as a dog musher as should champion swim, mer, jumper, buckaroo, or, in fact, the champion of any kind of sport.
 "Scotty," it is understood, is more than sixty years of age. But de spite that fact he still takes part in the Nome sweepstakes races every spring and has won them several times.
 Associated Press dispatches sent out from Nome are to the effect that "Scotty" is going to try to make record trip to the coast from Nome and that he is coming this way. He is driving "Baldy." the old leader which has led many d team to victory in the Nome sweep stakes, in the lead of what he eX poets to be his record breaker. The old leader is nearly as famous as his master, both having been herald ed all over the world as the greatest performers in their line in their time.
 For this reason Fairbanks should be prepared to give "Scotty" an adequate greeting of some kind when he arrives here on his way to the coast Probably the best way this could be done would be to show some interest in his attempted record breaking trip. Interest to some eX- tent could be shown if a number of Fairbanks sport lovers would get up a pool regarding the time that Allan can make on his trip either between Nome and Fairbanks, Nome and the coast or Fairbanks and the coast; anything that would show that Fair banksans are sport lovers and that they appreciate the efforts Allan is making to break cross country dog mushing records.
 The foregoing would be an ade- quate way in which to receive the legislator from the Second division, The Citizen will do it's part. That is, We are willing to keep the sport loving public apprised of the where abouts of Allan both as he is com ing here and after he leaves. He left Nome. according to our dis

TURN HIM LOOSE.

"I have not heard a word con lcrning the decision of the circuit court of appeals in the Callahan case. think that The Associated Press man on duty at San Fran cisco must have discovered that the case was decided before our attor- aeys were informed. But I expect 10 be notified tomorrow"
 The foregoing statement was made last night bE Leroy Tozier, attor- ncy for the defendant in the Gala han case, d report on the reversal of the decision of which was re ceiyed by The Citizen Monday night n Associated Press dispatches. Since hat time, as nearly as can be learned no word regarding the decision has been received in Fairbanks. Nor can it be ascertained whether or not Big Dan," languishing in prison at McNeil's Island, has been informed that he has been granted a retrial.
 But it is undoubtedly a fact that Dan will be notified of the decision Jf the appellate court as soon as word of it i5 sent to his attorney here. Then it will be necessary for Dan to follow out the mandates of the court and return here for a new i rial of his case
 1 In such cases it is usually the custom for the prisoner or defendant 1 10 be brought back in the custody of l | deputy marshal but just here we l have suggestion to offer, and that l is, turn Dan loose and he'll come home. There is no need to put the | government to needless expense in l bringing him in. All that is neCes- 1 sagy is for the officials at the peni- | tentiary to give Dan new suit ol clothes and money for his passage, his keep enroute and a few long black cigars, for as soon as his nose IS pointed toward home Dan will come as straight as he possibly can.
 Nor do we hesitate to say that. if convicted at his second trial, Dan
 would return to the penitentiary of his own accord, for we believe that he would He went through one
 trial here and was convicted. Hii case has been remanded, on what grounds is not known, but here and now We would give Dan the credit
 of believing that he would return to prison of his own free will if con victed a second time
 So, Mr Warden, turn Dan loose and let him come home You won't need to bother about sending any body with him at needless expense
 to the government. for he'll come by himself if he says he will. Of course. it would be best to ask him about it and at the same time to
 isk him if he will return if convicted a second time. We are nearly cer- tain of what his answer would be, and we are just as certain that he
 would act in accordance with his | answer.

In the estimation of Clarence J. Griffin, noted California tennis play CT, William Johnston, former national singles champion, is the greatest ten his player America has produced. Griffin, together with Johnston, holds the national doubles championship, and knows every angle of his famous partners play. Griffin also has play ed against practically all the notable stars Of the tennis world.
 "Johnston's game is based upon more sterling principles" says Grif- fin, than the play of his two prin- cipal rivals, Mclaughlin and Willi- ans. He is more consistent. He depends less upon spectacular fea- lures that are apt to leave a man with the gathering years. Johnston should retain his place among the great players of the game for many years, like Larned did. Mclaughlin relies too much upon mere speed and power, qualities he is bound to lose early. Johnston is probably the most perfect tennis player the world has seen-not even excluding An thony Wilding."
 According to Griffin, player must show championship possibilities be fore rounding twenty years of age, otherwise he never will achieve the highest pinnacle i'll the game.
 Al Leake, the new left handed pitcher lately of the Richmond club of the Virginia league, procured by Manager Walter McCredie of the Portland club of the Pacific Coast league, has an impressive record as shown by the statistics of his per formances with that club last season.
 Leake's record with Richmond. ac- cording to the official averages, fol lows:
 Games 23, won g. lost 12, per centage .429.
 Innings pitched, 165. flied out 7O4, earned runs 4S, average earned runs per game 2.62, hits, 161, sacrifice hits 16, bases on balls 63. struck out 72, wild pitches 3. balks 3, took out 4. finished 3.
 Fielding record: Games 23, put outs 10. assists 51. errors l, per centage .994
 Batting: Games 3S, at bat 79, runs ', hits 21, total bases 34, 2b. i, 3b. 3, home run l, sacrifice hit. l stolen base l, percentage .266.
 Leake is over six feet tall, weighs about 200 pounds. and is rated youngster.
 The re-engagement of William H. Nonestar) Detz as coach of the Washington State college football team has met with the unanimous approval of the student body. The Washingtonians are looking hopefully toward next falls campaign for the reason that their losses from the football squad through graduation will be at a minimum. DietZ is strong advocate of intersectional games, and in this connection has been quoted as follows:
 "I am desirous of obtaining game with some big eastern or middle western team. Such an opponent would go a long way toward proving conclusively that the westerners know something about the game.
 Some of the possibilities would be a game with Missouri at St. Louis, with Kansas at Kansas City, with Minnesota, or Nebraska at Omaha"

 SPORTING NOTES

Associated Press Correspondenco)
 SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 22.-The rule recently adopted by the Pacific Coast League that at least four play CTS who have had less than a full season in the majors or Class A leagues must be carried by each club in the circuit, is creating consider able discussion, but it is not expect ed that any concluson will be reach ed until the scheme has been tried out for at least a year.
 J. Cal Ewing. former owner of the San Francisco club, who is sponsor of the idea, has figured that, by this means, new talent will be en. couraged and developed, thus assur- ing good players coming on each year. Under the circumstances the preliminary spring training season will offer baseball enthusiasts d rec ord number of new faces in the early tryouts.
 With a limit of eighteen players on each club, the inclusion of the four non-veterans means that veter- an players will have to give way to the younger men. Advocates of the rule claim that managers instead of experimenting with would be "comc backs" among the veterans will have to bend their energies toward de yeloping the recruits which they say will put more speed and enthusiasm into the play.
