Cottiness

All men are divided Into two classes: Those who are convinced most women are catty and those who insist that they all are.
 If, by cattiness, you mean petty yin dictiveness sweetly expressed, do ad. init that quite lot of women are gift GU In that respect. Men have the win. dictiveness often enough but 1t is sell dom as petty and 1t Is likely to be dis. tinctly not sweetly expressed. As l see 1t. cattiness is mainly a hangover from the days when men were per. mitted to swear great, big. temper. easing oaths, whil, women weren't permitted to swear at all-so they re lieved their nastier feelings by learn ing to say sweet things with a sting. -Plain Talk Magazine.

Ernst Johansson Passes Away

Ernst Johansson passed away at the Wrangell General Hospital Sum- day, afternoon, March 2, from cancer of the stomach.
 Deceased was born in Sweden on June 26, 1875. He was a sailor for several years before coming to the United States 20 years ago. He came to Alaska in 1912 where he engaged in cannery work and fishing. His health began failing last June but he did not come in from the fishing grounds until Christmas time. He entered the hospital about two months ago for nursing and medical care.
 Interment was made in Redmen's cemetery following funeral services which were held in the Episcopal church Tuesday afternoon, the Rev. MT. Corser officiating.
 Frank Reed, who has been MT. Johansson's closest friend since 1916, paid him a splendid tribute when he said that during all those years he had never known MT. Jo- hanson to do a disgraceful act, and said he was one of the straightest. finest men he ever met
 MT Johansson never married. He is survived by one sister residing in Sweden.

Whitewdshed, as 'TDere

A Glasgow man whose business and private reputation would not have stood too much scrutiny ultimately found himself in the dock on a seri. ous charge.
 But his lawyers played their parts so skillfully that the judge dismissed the case, telling the accused that he left the dock without stain on his character"
 On leaving the building one of his cronies approached him and remarked 1: Man. Jamie, did you hear what his lordship said about your characterl Wasn't ii darned good job you were arrested, you lucky dOg?"-London Answers.

Portents Meant Much
 to Early Englishmen

POrtents in earth and sky, that filled our forefathers with dread. figure largely in our ancient history books especially in that treasure house which so few Englishmen have explored, the Anglo Saxon Chronicle.
 It was in the year HOO, in Berk- shire that blood welled from the earth, ''as many said that should see 1t. And thereafter on the morning after Lam- mas day was the King William Rufus shot in hunting by an arrow from his own men. All that was loathsome to God and righteous men, all that was customary in this land in his time"
 The Chronicle does not tell us, but another historian does, that from the spot where he fell-now marked by the Rufus stone, which every visitor to the New forest goes to see-his body was carted by few peasants, in a country wagon, to Winchester cathe- dral. where 1t was buried beneath the tower; and the very next year-an- other portent-the tower fell.
 Who, indeed. living in such times, could fail to discern the wrath of God, when two of the Conqueror's sons-for Richard. his second son, was gored by a stag close by-met their doom In the glades which their father had deyas- tated that he might hunt the tall deer therein n7-London Daily Mall.

Failure and Success
 Mixed in Blackstone
Blackstone was born in 1723.

Blackstone was born in 1T23.
 There are said to be three ways by which a young man can get on at the bar-by marrying an attorneys daughter, by writing a book or by a miracle. Blackstone wrote book.
 He was a more or less disappointed barrister; and ulke many other com parative failures) set out to teach others how to succeed in the pro- fession at which, to put 1t mildly, he had not won so many laurels. himself. The outcome of his Oxford lectures was his Commentaries" perhaps the most famous law book ever written. He wrote it with bottle of port always on his desk.
 His work is rather sniffed at today as a textbook for professional stu dents; but its rare and lucid style made 1t the authority to which, for nearly two centuries, every layman has turned. When the newly formed United States first set up court of their own, they took "Blackstone" as their legal bible.
 Its author became an Nj. P. and a judge. It was his dictum, during the trial of a woman murderer, that gave rise to one of Doctor Johnson's most entertaining discussions; about the man who shot himself because he could not digest hot buttered mullins, and he loved them so.-From the Con- tinental Edition of the London Daily Mail.
