How Picture Frames Gained Favor

Picture frames are of comparatively modern origin. There Is no record of their existence earlier than the Six teenth century. Originally frames were made of wood or composition overlaid on wood.

Stowaways See Alaska As
 Land Of Opportunity

An amusing story comes from Ketchikan of three Outside youths who determined to try their luck in Alaska, pooled their financial resources, $90, invested it in a supply of food, which was sent ahead of them to Juneau to await their arriv- al, and then slowed away on the steamer Alaska to reach the land of their desire.

Fur thermore, his honor was in- formed, they had wired to their folks for funds to take them to their destination.
 Judge Austin agreed that $90 worth of grub at Seattle prices would probably keep them from hunger if they real ly wanted "to stick" and decid- ed to give them an opportun- to get to Juneau and connect with the grub pile. Raul, who apparently lacked some
