Jena a Town of Contrasts.

Jena is a town of comfortable con.
trasts. Intellectually progressive, she
is physically most conservative. The
leaders Of thought fling the most adj
vanced ideas in social philosophy back
and forth over their dinner tables, but
those tables are laden with large meals
cooked after the exact fashion that
they have been cooked in German Bo-
hemia for the last 200 years. The good
professor will follow any intellectual
concept that cOnvinces his profoundly
logical mind, but he will stick to his
grandfather's style of pie in the face
of all opposition and Indigestion. Some
one might trace an interesting and in
structive relationship between German
pie and German pessimism.
The contrast between old manner
and new thought runs all through
Jena. Here is one of the most famous
of European universities; here are
philosophers and metaphysicians of the
most daring and radical type, and all
about them is an old picturesque city
whose comfortable burgher class is
quite untouched by all the intellectual
fireworks that flash from the university
grounds. .--. --.-,.-'',---.' Il =. %

Weary Skies poked his head past
the half-open door Of the closet eau
tiously, timorously, with some anxiety.
His questioning eye fell upon Nellie
Wayne. She smiled reassuringly.
"You can come out" she announced.
"They searched the barn and have
gone on"
'Bless you'll" spoke the frowsy, thin
faced, limping hobo. Miss, you de-
serve what I read on your gate post"
Read on the gate post?" repeated
Nellie vaguely. II am afraid l don't
understand you"
"Why, you know there's an order
out to arrest all the tramps that come
to the town. They got after me, MISS"
and Weary Skies looked actually pa
thetic. II managed to distance them,
but 1t nigh did me out. You see, 1 am
sick, and am just out of the hospital
and / couldn't do road work, and they
would give me thirty days in the ca
boose, and I've got to get home be-
fore / die, which the doctors say
will be soon."
you poor manw said Nellie, her
gentle eyes dewy and sympathetic.
"You need not worry about the con-
stables. Father will be home soon
and l will see that he gets you safely
away from town. You must be tired
and hungry. Sit down in that easy
chair and rest, and I will get you
nice lunch. Oh but about the read
ing on the gate post?"
Hobo signs, MISS" replied Weary,
but Nellie still looked perplexed.
"You see," he went on, "as / was
scurrying along, looking for a place
to hide, saw on the bottom of the
gate-post in red chalk three marks.
One is an X, another an o and the
third an l."
"And who made themr asked Nell
lie.
"Oh, any old tramp that you'd been
kind to, just as you are TO me-" an

down the record, so that any brother
hobo coming past would know that a
real angel lived in this here home"
Nellie blushed at the compliment,
but was pleased. With a vast sigh of

satisfaction Weary sank into the
downy depths of the easy chair. Nell
lie had to wake up the exhausted way
farer when she brought in the lunch.
Weary devoured it with vim. He told
her the story of his life, an aimless
wanderer.
There's an old woman, my mother"
he said. 81 got word that she's pretty
nigh near the end Of life, miss. hope
to reach the city in time to say last
word to her. That's why don't want

Then Weary resumed the most COM

she saw him coming. He drove up in
the wagon he used doing odd hauling

"Don't unhitch the horse, father,

"Why not, dear?' asked Mr. Wayne.

down fellow, who needs our help sore

"Dear soulw spoke her father ten

as dearly as l do. I will see that the

How Parrots Kiss.

Parrots, it is declared, are the most
Unsuitable of kissers, a distinction
once supposed to belong to the turtle
dove.
They can kiss n thousand times an
hour and they can keep it up-as OBJ
servations have revealed - for six
hours. Prof. II. G. Walters Of Lang
horne, Pa, made this discovery by ac.
tual count while spying on the love-
making of pair Of parrots recently.
The professor discovered that love
note MARBLE accompanies each separate
kiss. The singing and kissing was all
done on the rainiest, darkest, most
blustery and gloomy day Of the month.
The seance began before 8 a. m, and
the notes riyaled those OF a goldhnch
in brilllaney.
The species OF parrot thus reported
upon Is from Australia, and is Of very
brilliant and gorgeous plumage.

MANAGERS OF DOG FARM'
 DISSOLVE PARTNERSHIP

William Leonard and "Scotty' Dee, who have been conducting dog farm" on the banks of the river in the lower end of town, became involved in an altercation on Wednesday last with reference to the details of a dissolution of partnership, and as a result "Scotty" is doing time in the federal bastile and Leonard IS nursing sore neck, the result of being mauled with four-by- four in the hands of "Scotty."
 Spectators stated that the two were seen to be engaged in 3 heated argument, and that Leonard walked away from his antag- onist. "Scotty" was seen to pick up tim Der of considerable size and rush at Leonard, whose back was turned to him. A spectator gave warning shout and Leonard turned his head just in time to escape being struck on the head by the heavy timber, which struck him on the neck and shoulders.
 Deputy Marshal Charles arrested Dee and took him before Commissioner Geraghty, who fined him S75 and costs for assault and battery. Dee elected to serve out the sentence in Jail rather than "come through" with the cash.

COURT TERM TO COMMENCE
 DURING LAST WEEK IN JUNE

Commissioner Geraghty received official notification on Wednesday last that the district court will hold term in Iditarod commencing on June 25. Word received earlier in the week had been to the effect that the court officials would leave Fair banks on June 20, but it is probable that its plans have been changed.
 There will be feeling of relief through out the community at this announcement. It had been feared that the court might not decide to hold term here, and visions of jurors, witnesses and litigants being com pelled to go to Ruby or Fairbanks to at tend court were not enticing.
 While there are no great number of i'm portant cases to come up here this year, there arc sufficient to keep the court busy for the usual period should they all be brought to trial Besides the civil cases, there will be at least three cases for the grand jury to investigate.

BURGLIN BOUND OVER
 TO FACE GRAND JURY

Deputy Marshal William Thomas returned last Saturday from the kuskokwlm country. where he had been for the purpose of serv ing warrant on A. A. Burglin and taking him before Commissioner Stubbs at kol- makoff Mir Thomas was accompanied by Louis Seyler and they had great difficulty in negotiating the journey because of the fact that most of the creeks and rivers were free of ice The Kuskokwim, however, had not yet commenced to break up.
 Burglin, who lives at the mouth of Crooked river, was charged with assault with deadly weapon in connection with a recent disturbance at his homestead, in which several persons were more or less beaten and bruised It IS claimed that Bur ghn endeavored to use shotgun in the melee When taken before Commissioner Stubbs he waived examination and was bound over to the grand jury in the sum of 5000 the bonds being furnished by Charles Amalon and Pete Hamgsman, and Burglin was released from custody.
 Dennis Parent, upon whom the slleged assault was attempted, was also arrested by the deputy marshal on a charge of sell ing liquor without license, He pleaded guilty and was fined s100 and costs, which he paid

WILL KILL BEEVES HERE

The cold storage barge Trinder is ex- peeted to leave here at the earliest possible moment for down river It will be taken to St. Michael and after being loaded with fresh meat will be assigned to some other point, probably Nenana A smaller barge will be brought here. In the meantime, in order to supply the demand for fresh meat, the Cold Storage Company is shipping in thirty five head of live steers over Lake La Berge. These will be killed here to supply the mar ket until a cold storage barge can arrive here It is likely that for a short time fresh meat will be scarce

MONUMENT TO BUFFALO BILL

High up on Lookout mountain, near Den yer, overlooking the four states which wit messed his greatest activity, monument to Colonel William F. Cody-Buffalo Bill now seems assured, according to announce ment of the Cody Memorial Association, re- gently issued at Denver. The association says that several other organizations al ready have undertaken the collection of funds for the monument
 The spot on the mountain top where the famous plainsman is to find his last resting place has already been approved by the fam fly. This approval has stimulated the CO., ordination of all efforts to obtain suffi- cent fund to construct monument worthy of the scout who helped to open up the vast territory west of the Mississippi river
 The formal burial ceremonies will take place on Memorial day, when the body will be borne from Denver to the rock-hewn tomb on top of the mountain. It will be buried with the full ritualstic service by the Knights Templar.
 The proposed monument, according to tentative plans, is to be cut out of solid granite hewn from the formation on Look out mountain. It is to conform to the painting of the late scout by the artist Pappacini. This shows Colonel Cody on the beloved white charger. scanning the horl- zon. the hand uplifted the body slightly bent forward.
 It is proposed to place the monument so that the figure seems to be looking out over the vast stretches of plains into the four states of Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska and Kansas which witnessed most if not all of Buffalo Bills exploits. On a clear day spectators are able to recognize objects in all four states

RAILROADS WORRY ABOUT
 POST -BELLUM CONDITIONS

Commercial bodies in cities served by the Union r 1cfc railroad system have been asked to cooperate in a movement to pre- vent the re migration of foreign-born clti' zens back tc Europe after the close of the war. The slogan adopted by the railroad company is Keep the immigrants n America
 Union Pacific officials in Tacoma claim to have leagIed that representatives ot the belligerent countries are appealing to their former coun rymen to get them to return nome after the war Steamship agents are working along these lines and obtaining the names of families. These agents it is said, are actuated by selfish motives.
 The purpose of the Union Pacific in talk ing an interest in the matter Is to colonize these imm rants on the idle land of the West, get them satisfied and contented so they will rot want to return home. If they are we.l satisfied, railroad officials be- lieve they Yil write to their old homes and urge others to join them here.
 While the situation in the Northwest is not thought to be serious in certain parts of the East, it IS understood the propaganda has reached alarming proportions. The Union Pac;fc reports that closely related o the re-;-ligration agents and the steam .hip agen are the so-called "prlvate banks" th2t have sprung up in various in 'ustrial communities of the East These banks acc pt deposits from credulous for eigners, wlo export their savings in great bulk to t cir former homes in Eurpoe.
 The railway company in its investigations claims to ave found that the private banks act also & agents for the steamship lines and often encourage the immigrant to re- turn to Europe as soon as he gets enough money together to buy ticket.

SIS HOUSE WAS SAVED
 BUT IT WAS SAD WRECK

When Si Atwell returned to his home on Railroad avenue on Tuesday last, after an absence of twenty-four hours or more, he was confronted by scene that was re- hinder of the work of the Seattle dry squad in its search for liquor in suspected building. Holes had been cut with axes in the floors and in the sides of the house, carpets and furniture had been piled indis- criminately and altogether the place war 8 sorry-looking wreck But at that Si probably considered that it was better than having no home at all.
 On Monday afternoon an alarm of fire brought out the volunteer fire department, with chemical engines and paraphernalia for subduing any kind of confagration The fremen were directed to Si AtwelPs home, where smoke was seen issuing from various portions of the building. It was learned that the moss under the house had caught fire evidently from a flying spark, as there was strong wind blowing. Neigh bors had been busily pouring water on the incipient blaze, but it was hard to reach, and considerable destruction was wrought before the fire fighters were satisfied that the blaze was extinguished
 The discovery of the blaze before much damage was done was fortunate, as the brisk wind would have made it difficult to confne the fire to the one building.

THE TRAIL WAS FINE

Al Walsh, accompanied by his nephew, Jimmy, returned from the Innoko country on Monday last They made the trip from Ophir in two days and half, with dog teams; and although there was no snow, and the ice was out of the streams, they reported the trail fine" as usual. The Walsh boys have been engaged in drilling operations on lower Cane creek during most of the winter.
