Maybe another reason why there are so many divorces is because be- fore marriage girl spends so much time calling himSup and afterwards spends even more in calling him down.
 You can't always judge the family's wardrobe by wlpat they wear at. a party. The dress suit father is wear ing may be rented, and the frock mother is sporting may be returned to the store next day as unsatisfac- tory.
 Every girl who thinks of a young man as the light of her life should get wise to the fact that after they are married her light will develop fondness for being out nearly every night.

NO TIME TO CLOSE LAND OFFICES.

Probably there should be Land onice al An ohorage, and if should be established there. We hava a Land Office at Fairbanks and one at Nome. It has been the custom of the Government to establish Land offices wherever needed. It has not been a long time since they had them in the State Washington for instance at Seattle Olympia, Vancouver. Spokane, Watervile, Colfax and Waa Walla and perhaps at other places in that State. II so all the Western States in the days when the public lands being appropriated.
 This fact does not all warrant the closing of the Land office Juneau. The facts show that there greater need for Juneau than at Anchorage. Therefore if there is need for such office at Anchorage there is double need for here. The Land Office at Anchorage if one should be es- tabliahed should take in all that country inland from tho that is tributary Anchorage and the Government railroad Juneau is far more convenient fer the business along the coast than Anchorage. This applies to that country along the Coast west of the Aaeka Railway ss well that of it. More than so per cent. Of the Cold Bay oil lands busi- ness comes frcm the States, and of it is tram sacted by mail from there.
 Let Anchorage have her Land Office if the De- partment thinks she needs it, bat do close the Juneau Do close any the Alaska Land Offices. All of them needed, and time gees on there ought to be still more of them

Her stylish clothes, in contrast to the poor garb usually worn by the in- mates, drew charge from the prosecuting attorney that she had been bribed by King" Benjamin. She is said to have been one of his pets. Mrs. Estil Mills alleged, at Detroit, that she had been be- trayed to King" Benjamin by her own sister, Edith Meldrum, female pillar" of the cult.
