It's TRUE

Isabella, the queen of CASTLE and
Aragon who is enormously credited
with having financed Christopher Co
lumbus' explorations, was a woman
who controlled her emotions to such
an extent that she did not cry out
even in childbirth, a contemporary
affirmed.
Most of the Elmers of yesterday
and today derive their name from
Elmer Ellsworth, first Union officer
to be killed in the War Between the
States, but Ellsworth's real first
name was Ephriam!
Mary Queen of Scots was betroth-
ed at five years old to the French
king man whom she married at IA.
She was widowed at II, and two
kings, an English prince, an Austrian
archduke, three dukes of France and
Spanish prince then wanted to
marry her. But she chose a common
er as a second husband.
The litigants in the first case argu-
ed by woman before the Supreme
Court of the U. S.. in 1904, were all
men.
Queries, reproofs, etc., are welcom-
ed by Clark Kinnaird.

M. J. Walsh received telegram yesterday from Miss Ella Polin- sky, who, accompanied by Ann Walsh, young daughter of MT. and Mrs. Mike Walsh, left Nome Sunday by Ferguson Airways plane, Pilot King, for Candle, where Miss Polinsky was to open the territorial school for Miss Mary Walsh, who has been ill in Nome for some time.
 The wire stated the plane ran into a snoWstorm and was forced to land on a sand bar in the Ke- walik river. After spending the night in shelter cabin, after the plane broke a landing gear, they floated down the river to Candle on a raft. They landed safe and sound and were staying at the home of Fred M. Aver and wife. School is opening in Candle to- day, said the telegram.
 MT. and Mrs. Walsh were ex- tremely anxious, not hearing any word from the plane the first two days out of Nome, and were greatly relieved to discover that although they had suffered mis- fortune in landing, no one was hurt, and that young Ann Walsh, Miss Polinsky and Pilot King were all OK.
