Judge Tuley, the 6^tes| Chicago
judge, is dead. He was a native of
EeotucXy axti bad been a Jndgi of the
Cook county circuit court since 1S"!>.
He is said to h&t&'divuta! tonors with
Judge Dunne, the present mayor of
Chicago, for being the most popular
judges on the bench of the second city
of the. continent. Judge Tuley was a
strong advocate of municipal owner
ship, and he it was who first suggested
the nomination of Judge Dunne for
mayor.
'.'Judge" Hamilton, the man to whom
W48 given hundreds of thousands of dol
lars by the bin .life insaranca compan
ies for ''legislative purposes.-' who is
in Paris, says the condition of his
health will not permit him to return to
New York. Perhaps he is right. New
York is aot a very healthful place for
some life insurance men just now.
It is estimated that Alaska produced
814,650.000 last year, a gain exceeding
?5,000,000 in one year. The g.iin of
1906 over that of 1905 will no doubt be
greater than that of the latter year
over the previous. Alaska will pro
duoe more than $20,000,000 this year
and the next it will surpass Colorado in
the production oi the precious metal.
One thing that Alaskans have to be
thankful for is that they have laughed,
ridiculed and stormed the idea of a
mounted constabulary for this district
to death Gov. Swinefurd called them
the proposed '"ho~?e" marines," and
witA that name; for its headstone the
plan difiiT'an untaouraed death.

NOBLE DOG
Pretty Exhibition of Canine
Intelligence
A pretty exhibition of canine sajja
city was witnessed from the riTer front
recently.
A dog belonging to Carrier Shultz'
mail team, and which had evidently
rar. away from him, tried to reach
town by swimming across the open
water. On his reaching this side he
was so thoroughly benumbed and chilled
[from his long immersion that he was
unable to crawl out on the shore ice.
Lie saw bis predicament and began to
whice pitifully. The few who saw it
i could render no assistance as the Ice
would not bear their weight.
At this juncture a dog about town
named Betsy, who had been an inter
1 estea spectator, ran down swiftly and
out onto the shore ice. Betsy tread her
way clear out to the thin edge and
bracing herself she caught the drown
ing runaway by the back of the neck
with her teeth: she gave a mighty tug
and landed him on the ice beside her.?

IVAN'S CHOICE IN
THE CHRISTMAS GAME j
tOrI*ln*I.]
It was Christmas time In Russia.
Ivan Ivanovttcli went the rounds of the
village announcing that the usual fes
tivities would be held at his house and
that the marriage game would be-Hlaj.-.
ed. In this game the young girls are
muffled so that they cannot he distin
guished. The young men one by one
are admitted to the room where the
? gtrlg are sitting ami each> man chooses
a frtrf. 3b* 4s anvelled, uhd the man
must either marry her or pay a heavy
forfeit. * r ? , r ?
Now, Peter OlUot? had tatet Sotiiu
Nlcholaevna and had fallen In lore"
with her. Though he had been thrown
with her on several occasions he, could
not discover that she showW him nnr
preference. Fosslbly this may have
been because Feter was too bashful"'or
too uncertain of meeting a favorable
response; possibly she did not care for
him; possibly she loved another. Peter
went to the Christmas celebration,
knowing that Sonla would be there,
with very conflicting emotions. If In
the marriage game ho could pick out
Sonla he would be very happy, but his
happiness^ would also depend upon So
nla's desire to be picked out by him.
But if Sonla had any preference for
him she would have Indicated It, for,
though he had never spoken his love,
he had looked it, and no girl is so stu I
pld as to be lgnoraut of a man's pref
erence for her. especially wheu betakes
no palua to couceal It But then, as 1
have said, the two had met but a few
times, and It was not likely that a
girl would be won so soon and without
a courtship.
At the Christmas festivities Sonla,
dressed In the eostnnie of the country,
looked enchanting. She wore a skirt
reaching to ber ankles. About her
waist was a girdle of narrow blue rib
bon wound several times around, the
ends gathered loosely and hanging lu
two streamers, each end tipped with a
coin. The early part of the evening
was passed In dancing, singing aud or
dinary games. Peter tried to get a
dance with Sonla, but she was always
engaged? at least she always claimed
to be, and Peter was discouraged.
Even If he should happen to choose ber
In the marriage game It would bring
him no pleasure, and he would pay the
forfeit rather than marry one who did
not prefer him to all others.
At last Maria, the wife of Ivanovltch,
announced that they would play the
marriage game, to which they had all
been looking forward expectantly.
Maria took the girls all into an adjoin
ing where each was enveloped
In a sheet. When all was ready the
young men drew lots to determine the
order In which they should enter. 01
course the first man. If he had a prefer
ence, would have the best chance to
secure It The last man would have
but one girl to choose. Peter drew the
fifth entry. When the first couple came
out the girl was smiling and blushing,
and all knew that she had been chosen
in accordance with her wishes. The
swain did not look displeased, only
silly. The second couple were both
pouting, and both bad evidently had
bad luck. In the case of the third the
man was radiant with happiness, the
girl evidently displeased. In the fourth
It was plain that both had been much
disappointed.
It was now Peter's turn to enter the
room and choose. The varied nppear
ance of the couples who had emerged
had told him how slim was the chance,
first, of his choosing Sonla, and, second,
of her being his willing bride. Never
theless he had been caught by the spirit
of chance. He was wild with desire
to choose Sonla, and he would at least
have the privilege of seeming to he
glad of the alternative to pay the fop
. felt.
He entered the room with a throb
bing heart. There sat a line of girls
looking very like large Indian papooses.
Teter cast his eye along the line, vainly
endeavoring to distinguish the girl he
loved by her sl*e or some other feature,
but Sonla was of the middle height and
several of the girls were very nearly
her site. Peter dallied.
"Choose," said the matron.
Peter, still hoping to discover through
the sheet some guide, still hesitated.
"Come, choose," said the matron;
"others are waiting."
Peter, in despair at liavlng to trust to
luck, was about tQ step forward and
choose haphazard when his eye lighted
on a little coin hanging below a fold In
the sheet that enveloped one of the
girls. In a twinkling he remembered
that the ends of the 'ribbon encircling
Sonla's waist were tipped with coins.
He had not seen the coin on first run
ning his eye along the line and was
sure It was not then visible. Indeed,
while he looked It disappeared, having
been exposed only a few seconds,
A flood of Joy welled In Peter's heart.
Sonla, who before had given him no
sign of preference, who could not even
save a dance for hftfr who had given
any of the young men present more of
her favor than he, had contrived to give
him a signal. More than this, she had *
come to the gathering with the ribbon
loosely wound about her waist, so that
abe might drop It at the choosing of the
man she wanted, and had dropped it
for him. Concealing his knowledge by
looking again over the line, making'
teints at selecting a girl, He at last
those the one who had dropped the
coin.
She aroie, and Maria, unwinding the
?heot. dropped It and there stood Sonla
With a happy smile whlcih she found It
difficult* repress and a twinkle la tibe j
glance' she ""gave PetfeH ^Wben tbfe'tih)
*fep,?d Jnto. tfce wlMelwj room so
