Russell: It is now appar- ept that Wickersham and Hazelet are deadlocked over the Governor ship and unless Hickman consents as a compromise, an Fastener, prob ably Karl Bahr, will be named next week. If consent of Heckman coald be wired both Mcbride and Suther- land. and the Alaska Legislature would pass suitable resolution after first communicating with Mcbride and Sutherland, situation could be saved. Urge Ketchikan organize committee and confer with Heck man Seattle can be quickly or ganized for Hickman. "
 Heckman Declines.
 Mir. Heckman. who was attending an afternoon session Of the Senate when he received the telegram, inn mediately wired the Chronicle as follows: For business and other reasons, I do not want my name sent in as an applicant for Gov ernorship. We are all united in re- questing that none but a bona fide Alaskan be appointed"

When Diners Ate Their Plates.

The word fritter, which with cooler
weather will become popular once
more, originates from an old French
word meaning to fry, which comes
from the Latin past partieiple of the
verb >frigere. frictus.
Similarly, fricassee takes its name
from the same Latin verb or from the
French ''fracasser," meaning to break
into pieces, or, as some experts be-
lieve, from the Latin "fricare," to rub.
Any meat fried In a pan is fricasseed.
according to French culinary defini-
ton.
Another word of French and Latin
birth is tart. Tart is a culinary cor
ruption of the word ''tourte'' (French)
derived from ''tartine," a slice of
bread. This comes from the Latin
"torqueo," to twist, hence the word
"torta" means a twist or roll of bread.
In the middle ages there was a de-
ficiency in plates, and so, for a sub
stitute, an undercrust of bread served
as plate. For q long time in France
this undercrust of the 'tourte," or
''tarte," was the most common Of
plates. After everything had been
served diners ate even their pilates"
In time these dinner plates. made
of dinner rolls. came TO be prepared
specially and developed into a cake
like batter, which was filed with dain-
ty food. And so they were called tarts
and tartlettes. and were served as a
distinct dish.-GaS Logic.

NO OLD MAIDS IN BABYLON
Ancient City Had a System Which AS
sured the Marriage of All
the Females.

The first known auctions Of the
world were held in Babylon many
centuries before Christ. The articles
auctioned consisted of all the virgins
In the city, and the sale was held once
a year. On the day selected the girls
were brought to the market place and
there ordered to remove their gar
ments. All the young men of the city
were also gathered and the maidens,
one by one, were led to a block where
the youth of the city could inspect
them. The beautiful girls were sold
first and every effort made to get as
much as possible for their charms
The young men of those days were
as eager to win the fairest maid pos
sible by bidding as men of a later age
were to win them by brave deeds or
pleadings. As a result fortunes were
in the hands of the auctiOneer by the
time the hOmeIy girls were reached
This fortune was then divided up and
the auctioneering took a new life. The
hOmeliest girl was given the largest
part of the money collected from
beauty and many a poor man found
himself with a very hOmely wife but
4 comfortable start in business. The
system at least did away with old
maids and bachelors and insured Il
steady growth of population and few
dependents on the state.
