young man who was in Alaska some
four years ago fell in love with the only
young lady on the island, girl of fifteen,
who was possessed of extraordinary beauty.
and whose hair fell below her knees. But
he was unable to communicate the '.old, old
story to her, for she did not understand a
word of English, nor did he speak Russian.
In his dilemma the arrival of the preist on
his once-in-two-years visit was a Godsend,
and to him he made known his love. The
priest, knowing the young man to be pos
sessed of high character and fair fortune,
thought it was lucky chance for the young
lady to escape from a life of such isolation.
and he willingly persuaded the girls mother
Cher father was dead to consent to the
match, but the young lady herself was not
to be persuaded. She argued that she had
never spoken to the young man who ex-
pressed such desire to be her husband, and
only seen him twice, and he had been on the
island only forty-eight days. but her objec-
tions were overruled. and the marriage took
place. After living in Alaska for several
months, the young man broGght his bride to
his home in Cleveland, Ohio. She was as
tonished at the fashions she saw, and de-
clared that nothing would induce her to
wear her hair otherwise than flowing-as she
mad always worn it. But before twenty-four
hours had passed her mother-in-law had per-
suaded her to try the effect of braids around
her broad and shapely head; and now she
dresses as much in the fashions as any lady
IN Cleveland. Last year her husband went
to Alaska and brought home the Young
sister, who is eleven years of age, and prom
ises to be as beautiful as the elder. The
mother, bereft of both her children. still
clings to her home on one of the islands of

SEPARATE WAR AND SEPARATE PEACE
Russia intends that Turkey, whose armies
she has fought for over half year, shall
make peace with her and not with her enc
mics, nor even with those Of her friends In
whose sincerity she has little faith. This is
purpose so reasonable that it seems almost
ridiculous any one should deem it unjust.
But England's position. is that peace between
Russia and Turkey must not be made by
these powers; that their war must be settled,
not by themselves, but by their neighbors ;
and that, in short any pretence to settle this
great conflict otherwise than By conference
OF the powers is an invasion of the rights of
England.

During the last few days there have been
several attempts to produce incendiary fires
on East Walnut Hills, all OF which
were discovered before the match

with coal oil, and everything ready for
a blaze when the alarm was raised.


These facts were reported at the Chief 5

work up the case. After little inquiry
it was learned that it was the
lamp-lighter who had raised the alarm
on each occasion, and in his
possession was found an exact counterpart
of the bottle which was left on Mr.. Ander-

Although the evidence against Farrell

Many persons who think good bread and
milk great luxury frequently hesitate
to eat it, for the reason that milk will
