 England stepped pert Nell Gwynn

I Kissed her, and so did my wife, and Q mighty pretty soul she is." He concludes the days notes with Q summary approving all that he had done during the a hours, especial ly the kissing of Nell"
 French Beauty Became Rival
 The actress soon became the mis- tress of Lord Buckhurst, one of the most elegant courtiers of the day, and they maintained @ merry house at Epson. Lord Buckhurst pension cd her off with e small alimony, and she returned to the stage where she attracted tho attention of "The Merry Monarch" Charles IT, who was the first English king to go to the theater instead of commanding the players to his palace.
 Entertained by Nell's wit and merriment, and by the fact that she spoke bluntly to him and even fiim- icked him at times, Charles installed her as his mistress. She bore him two sons, both of whom were made peers of the realm. But Nell asked no such distinctions for herself.
 The absolute Charles had other mistresses, too, including one sent him from France, one Louise Re- nee dc Querouaille, a young woman whose beauty exceeded her wit, but who had been planted in the court In Q deliberate effort to increase.

Nell promptly put her head out of the carriage and cried: Good gentle- men, don't hurt me! I'm the English one, not the Frenchl" The threats changed to laughter and cheers.

 Nell Gwynn, born in an alley slum, won not only the love of her king, but the tolerant and kindly love of an entire nation.
 The impudent little street-urchin who sold oranges in the pit of the Drury Lane theater before she was loved by King Charles IT holds Q special place In British hearts. For she was honest, and fortnight and faithful, and she never let down the friends of her youth.
 Nell 0wynn was truly Q child of the London streets. And the streets of Restoration London were Q rough school. The city was swept by gaiety and unrestrained reaction against the Puritanism that had repressed 1t. Morals were lax and tongues were laxer.

 that returns were broadcast They had their teetype machines and before that their telegraph operators And even before that thereWere the telephones What days those were in the newspaper offices .There were even magic lantern slides to flash on white curtain And how we conceive the time when 1t took days and weeks and months for election returns in one end of this vast and mainly wilderness nationto come to the nations capital That's why we had an election in November and inauguration four months. later

THAT TOURIST HOTEL!

have been asked many questions lately in regard 1o my suggestion that we get busy and go after big real ouSt ote TOT Juneau and the opinions expressed with the questions are so varied would like give the result or my nougnt on the matter arrived at after discussing the subject Wlth all Kinds of tourists years
 A great many Tourists have already looked into the matter o stopping over in Juneau but have discou aged out of it. They have been told that our Hotel ac- recommendations limited besides there would be difficulty in getting boat when they want it. The last question will stop them every time
 The steamboats cannot be blamed completely for this Some businesses like Topsy they just grow anyhow but others the result of planning We have never made any plans for stop-overs And sopover is worth thru under the present system.
 We get about the kind of Hotel we plan for If we go squirrel hunting will likely get only squirrel get a bear and can bring back squirrel anyhow.
 There are several De Luxe Chain Hotel systems like the Bimore that might be interested if approached about the country according to the They just interested in Alaska less wealthy people but usually like to flock together They would think they sum- ming if they stopped at one of our usual hotels.
 To interest one of these Systems will take time and money The data must be assembled and presented This is the most dscouragng feature of the matter We have never learned to work together in Juneau
 Where fa the % wealthy 5 Ps0pe P like to go the less wealthy The seamboats will give reservations when show them the necessity and the demand is worth while
 Many years when the writer lived in California the southern part of the State the joke of the North 
 they had swell desert all right The Tourists and invested in this and that and made it the best part of the State
 Some day the principal of Juneau will be hausted Every day it is that much poorer It is probably remote look at time but it will We drift and hope for luck to bring something to take it's place hustle for something in the meanwhile.
 There are many towns in North America as large as Juneau whose principal resource is Tourists and their by products Because they have been worth little to is reason they be improved We get million dollars worth of advertising year and let it to waste
 have been asked why excited about all this. am not excited but interested Everything is in Juneau and this is my home It has permanent value under the present setup have had contact with Tourists than the average Juneaute and therefore have heard of their opinion of and have thought more of what could done with them Ketchikan has fish that come back every year. It would be hard to compete with them for that now but could build up the Tourist busi ness into something just as good and better

 Says Lewis

R. F.

 Mir Lewis, who resides across the bay from San Francisco, stated that the Golden Gate City leads all major Pacific Coast cities in retail trade, and thanks to the near completion of the huge bridge projects in the bay, expects the great seaport to become the most important city west of Chicago.
 While my interests are in Ju- neau, and in mining" Mir Lewis said, T have observed a marked increase in retail business on the coast, and there seems to me more money in general circulation. San Francisco's wholesale business seems retarded to a certain extent be- cause some shipping companies still are afraid to send boats into San Francisco because of the labor trouble"
