The people of this vicinity were sur.
prised by the arrival of Mr.. Olaf

the world. He went to Rhinelander
and with a party Of five started for
Alaska 20 years ago, when so much
was heard of the gold mines in Alaska.
No news reached here from him in
Alaska so friends here wrote To
Rhinelander and received clipping
from newspaper that he was killed
with his party in snow slide soon
after his arrival there. So his many
friends were surprised but glad to see
him again. He is one OF the county's
men who has been prosperous. He
started on his trip with S400. He now

very healthy country.

'N-no, not exactly" fioundered Ray.
"Why, you've got a new pin, haven't
you?"
He noticed, wonderingly and then
supposedly, that Lucia wore a magnifi-
cent diamond sunburst, far beyond his
power of acquisition as q young and
struggling lawyer.
"Oh, yes" nodded Lucia brightly,
"an unexpected present"
"H-m! From your uncle, l sup
pose" ventured Ray.
Lucia uttered a ringing laugh. He
suppressed fleetlng sensation of jeal-
ousy.
"Uncle Hiram make me gift like
that /" she cried. Hardly"
"Then-?"
"I'll tell you about it later, dear.
And have so much to talk about"
"Tell your wifel" the lowering
shade of Parker Woodson seemed to

clared Ray fervently.

persisted Lucia mlschievously.
"Well-in way"
"Then you needn't tell me about II"
said Lucia sweetly.
"But-"
"For l know all about 1t already.
oh you dear mani" and she threw
her arms about his neck. "The sweet

Patty Richmond, that was"
"She wrote your" gulped Ray.
"All about the splendid help you
gave her. Poor soul 1t was her err
ing husband she sought for, and found.
And they are reconciled, and she and
the three children are supremely
happy. And you unselfshly gave your
time to bring this all about! And she
sent me that splendid present to show
her appreciation of your kindly eff
forts"
"Husband-three chlldren" gasped
Ray, and felt, indeed, that he was not
irresistible.

her real troubles. oh, you dear, good

Woodson the ensuing day.
"Well, yes" responded Ray. "Only

stockings soon found their way to

1889 that William Lee invented the
knitting frame.

ANOTHER FABRICATION.

"Condemned imposter by the members of his party in the House of Representatives" says the Dispatch, referring to Delegate Sulzer.
 This is an unadulterated fabrication. There is no truth in il than in the famous scarce head story about Delegate Sulzer's being kicked out of Con gress' and Judge Wickershams taking the oath of office and being congratulated by Republicans and Democrats upon his re-entrance into Congress.
 The elections committee of the House of Repre- sentatiyes has not reported the Alaska Delegate ship, and it is not known when it will report how It is known, however that notwithstanding that if has been nearly months since the Wickites first tried to make their readers believe the committee had Unanimously decided that Delegate Suzer an 'impostor," and lot of other things, he is still Delegate 10 Congress- and the committee has made no report at all

James, whose letters appear Tn The Republic and New York Times, who says that next September is the time set by the army III France for the end of the war.
 MT. James does not say that the war will end next summer. He says the army thinks so. Neither does Gen. March set a date for the end of the war His statement that with 4,000,00o Americans commander the Allies could go through the German line whenever they pleased and what he said further indicates that the 4,000,000 men will be available for years campaign.
 That next year will bring the end of the war is pleasant hope founded upon reasons which are not without weight, but with all due respect for other peoples opinions, The Republic believes it is better set a time for the peace conference Any date may be wrong.
 Tremendous things have occurred in this war with tremendous unexpectedness. week before it began nobody would have believed that the Germans would break their treaty and trample Belgium into the earth. little later those who believed that the Central Powers must lose later pinned their faith Russia, and mighty Russia burst like a soap bubble

 Neither favor nor privilege should be the portion of citizen of the United States while this great hict lasts He who seeks either is else a rogue. The granting of exemption for certain pur- poses to various classes, well said upon the floor of the United States Senates, does not extend favors to their members. Unfortunately, the opposite idea exists and is widespread. The Government is merely utilizing peculiar abilities in essentially nee essary directons-nothing more! It does not, there fore become members of this class to presume upon their special classification and attempt to dictate to the administration how it shall treat these
 The1r exemption from duty in the field rests solely upon the implied promise to perform the tasks to which they have been assigned. If there is far ther for them in a special service either through lack of demand for their production by reason of their refusal to remain their labors follows that they must march to the colors To permit any other arrangement would be grossly unfair to those who now at the front and in the training camps There IS no thought among these devoted millions of mu- tiny or slackerism; murmurng because of low wages and personal dscomforts
