CAN WIN BATTLES AT HOME
Housewife Finds Joy in Thought That She Is Helping to Defeat the
 Hated Boche.

"It's funny thing" said the Man to his Wife the other night. You used to like cooking, as I remember 1t. Breaking a new maid in was always a time of great trial and tribulation. But every night come home to dinner you emerge from the kitchen almost as though you hated to leave the master pieces you have evolved long enough to greet your hard-working husband properly. What's the reason?"
 Well" said the Wife of her Hus- band, tits like this. It's sort of game. I may not ever see any fighting, but feel that out there in the kitchen I am helping France, England and, last but not least, our own blessed boys. Every time I make a loaf of rye bread I feel like waving a flag. Every time l make my allowance stretch a little bit feel as though had won a battle. And so I have. I've beaten old General HighcOstaliving. Every time l squeeze War Savings stamp out of the food allowance feel that personally have fired shot at the Boches."
 Good girl" and the Man patted his Wife gently. Since can't go and we have no one to give, the best we car do is to play the game over here as though we loved it."

Dogs Death Led to Suicide,

Mrs. Margaret Dugdale, wife of Norman Dugdale, J. F., of Dutton Manor, near Blackburn, was found dead with bullet wound in her fore. head in a field near the grave of her favorite dog, which had been de stroyed on account of old age. De pression caused by its loss was sug gested at the inquest as the cause of her suicide, says Lloyd's News, Lon- don. When found she was grasping a humane cattle killer, at her feet was a mallet with which she had dis charged the weapon, and loaded re- volver was in basket near her. She had fixed mirror to the fence, and a note pinned to her dress gave direc- tions for the disposal of her body. Mir. Dugdale said he thought the dogs death, which his wife had taken great ly to heart, was the cause of the tragedy, and the jury's verdict was that Mrs. Dugdale shot herself while of unsound mind.

Tibet Takes Up War Game

Tibet is engaged in a footing expe- dition, just as she has been for cen. turies. She has invaded Szechuan. a border state of China. The only sig, nificance this has during the present world war, according to the Philadel. phia Evening Bulletin, is that some thousand years before Solomon was born. Tibet boasted of high state of civilization, as did her neighbor Sze- chuan.. But ages of warfare have made Tibet the domain of half savage ma. rauders. Tibet boasts the sacred city of Lhasa. the seat of official Buddhism. where squalor. art, religion and high pretensions are mixed in inextricabls confusion.

CAN'T ALWAYS SIZE THEM UP
New York Must Not Be Judged by Their Appearance.

You never can tell who is who when you meet them in the White Light sec tion. The other night Pittsburgher ran into a former Steel Cityite who was wandering along the big lane. He wasn't so glad to see him, as he feared a touch" because back home the man never seemed prosperous, neither was he down and out. His appearance hadn't changed since his residence here.
 How long have you been living in New YOrk?" asked the visitor.
 "Oh, about three years," replied the former resident.
 "Then you know the town pretty well?" was the next query.
 The former Pittsburgher admitted that he did, and gave the visitor some advice and warning about the big city. He listened. Then he asked: What are you doing here, BillY
 "Working for bank down town" replied the other man.
 The Pittsburgher didn't press his chance friend for details. He thought that Bill had one of those jobs down town where one starves to death amidst the wealth of the nation-die of thirst upon the fountains brink. Wont you take lunch with me?" he asked, and Bill said he would be de- lighted-some-t time.
 The next day the Pittsburgher went to bank down town to see about a check of friend of his which had gone astray, You will have to see the cashier" he was told. and there was the former Steel City man. He was in an office market private" on the door and his name in gold on the side of the desk. He was cashier of one of the biggest banks in the world. New York Sun.

 Seward, Alaska.
 Dear Old Pal Tom,
 I read with a great deal of amaze ment, the letter you had published il the Seward Gateway on Nov. 10th and address to Governor Bone, of Alaska, charging him with giving an interview to the press that was false, and he knew it was false when he, Gov. Bone said, "The Government railroad be tween Seward and Broad Pass was ir excellent condition"
 That letter would be very amusing to your friends, Tom, were it not fol the fact that strangers reading it who are we'll acquainted with the Govern ment railroad would come to the con clusion that you had missed too many boats. I feel that my acquaintance with you lasting over a number of years, entities me to speak very plain ly to you, and recall to your mind th one subject we had discussed num- Der of times. It was the number of men taken out of this country imagin- ing themselves to be someone or some thing they we're not. Do you remember the man who imagined he was Napol-

 con? How You and I laughed over it and the other man who imagined that he had wings and would fly; if some had not clipped them. When I asked you the reason so many men went that way in Alaska, you replied that it was
 the Great, White Silence and isola- ton that gave a man free rein to his imagination which ultimately proves his undoir~ Knowing you most inti- nately and, consequently knowing all your weak points-and God knows You have plenty of them, Tom, I have become worried over your condition and final end. Of course, your case $ quite harmless and those who know you or know of you in Alaska, don't ,ake you seriously but make all due allowances for man in your condi- ion. When you imagine yourself to De writer of influence and a man of 'ome importance, it is not only a symp tom, it's a grave danger signal that els you that you are drifting to that Great White Silence,' where so many nen have gone before.
 l had hoped the trip you took to the tates a month or so ago, might have improved you, but apparently, it has lad the opposite effect; it only aggra- 'ated your case, and this grieves me 'orely, Tom, more than words can ell. Your poor, overworked brain has undertaken an added burden in the shape of politics. Some one of Your enemies has told you that you had a ,hance in the race for delegateship. Don't you believe them, Tom, they Ire only kidding you, Men are certain y devils when they play practical okes like that. would rather see yo11 ead than have you made the laugh ing stock of Alaska.

 I will substantiate that statement and you know that I am in a position to know what l am talking about. know that this statement of facts, coming from an old friend like me. will be like waving a red flag at a bull. Of course you will foam at the mouth when you read this, and am very sorry, Tom, but it can't be heped. l will do anything for you as a friend, but I won't back you when you lie wilfully and deliberately. And you know when you wrote that letter to the Governor on the condition of the government railroad, you lied brazenly and unblushingly like horsethief. Why you lie like that I can't for the life of me tell, unless it is to m,1ck- rake to gain publicity in your cam paign. In all the stuff you have ever written, and l have seen it all, you have never said good word for Alas ka. You have muckraked the govern ment at Washington, the government at Juneau, and the government rail road builders in Alaska. You have muckraked the white population, the natives, the climatic conditions; the only one you have not muckraked is yourself, and God Knows, you need it bad enough. If there ever was a men, ace to Alaska, it is you. Why YOU should say the Governor was taken over the railroad at night time, only a man in your condition can tell? You were not in Alaska at the time: VOL were visiting in the states. As a piece 9f Information, 1 can tell you that Governor Bone left Seward at 200 in the afternoon and arrived in Anchor age about 5:15 that evening. He left Anchorage for Broad Pass at night time, but returned from Broad Pass to Anchorage in the day time. His trip to the Chickaloon coal fields and re- turn was in the day time and he left Anchorage for Seward at One o'clock. in Seward that same after noon.
 After thinking over your actions since the last time I saw you, I look ed up the date of your lteter which corresponds with the date of the full moon, so l must not blame you too much after all.
 Nature has way of working those .hings that science can't explain, so for Heavens sake, Tom, watch your step and don't stay too much by your self or your friends will say, when you go outside victim of that Great White Silence,-"Alas, poor Drayton, l knew him we'll"

AROMA WAS PLEASANT.

A new and authentic story reaches us which illustrates the phil osophic vein in the Scotch charac- ter. The consignee of case of whisky found that one of the bot ties had sprung leak and was emp ty. In indignation he went to the little railway station and demanded explanations. The porter was sym pathetic. He himself had taken the box from the train overnight and had placed it on shelf in the booking office. When he arrived for duty next morning he found that a parcel on the shelf below was soak ing.
 "But man," he smiled, and a smile of rare beauty illuminated his somber features, "the smell in the office when I opened the door this mornin' wia a dane yer heart gweed." ."-London Post.

quest sent to Congress for an ap- propriation of $200,000 as an initial budget to pay expenses of the Amer ican representatives and of a secre- tariat-general The estimate, worke4 : out by the state department and the budget bureau, was taken under committee consideration immediately in the Senate and probably will re- ceive favorable action in the near future.
 The sum fixed in the request and the data accompanying 1t apparently disposed of any expectation that this government would pay expenses of any of the visiting delegations. for Congress was informed specifically that the money was to be used for the American delegation and for the secretariatgeneral alone. It was in- dicated that a later appropriation would be asked should the printing bill exceed present expectations, or should the conference last more than two months.
 The message of Premier Briand in accepting the invitation omitted any attempt to discuss the subject mat ter of the conference, but 1t is un- Gerstood that separate informal nego- tiations are under way among all the interested nations relative to what matters are to be considered within the scope of the discussions.
