ALL IN F
OF HOME RULE
FAIRBANKS, Oct. 20? At a mass
ineetlug hold here which was attendu
l>y 500 residents, resolutions iu favor
of home rule were unanimously adopt .
od. It was the sense of the meeting
that Fairbanks and the Tanana valley
would do all In their power to secure
support for the Wickereham territorial
bill, as the best measure now before
Congress for any form of local govern
meat. All the papers in the Tanann
valley favor the plan, by which Alask
shall be governed by Alaskans, aid
the sentiment of the people Is over
whelmingly in faver of franchise
rights.
Many faver an out and out form of
territorial government, but have been
persuaded that Congress at this time
would not consider anything other
than a modified form, and they have
pledged themselves to support this.

Her Last Request Before Her Death
on the Scaffold.
How Mme. ltolnml bore herself oil
her Journey aloug the via dolorosa of
the revolution which led from the Con
elergerie to the Place tie la Guillotlu
the world knows. No recorded pil
grim of the long train that fared that
way In those heroic days showed a
subllmer Indifference to Its terrors.
A spectator w ho saw her as she passed
the I'ont Neuf wrote of her as stand
ing erect and cillm In the tumbril, her
eyes shining, her color fresh aud brll
liant, with a smile ou her Hps as she
tried to chcer her companion, an old
man overcome by the fear of approach
ing death.
At the foot of the scaffold she asked
for pen and paper to write the strange
thoughts that were rising In her. When
the executioner grasped her arm to as
sist her in mounting the steps she
drew back and begged that her com
panion might be allowed to precede
her. The custom of the guillotine al
lowed her, as a woman, the privilege
of dying tlrst. but she wished to spare
the Inflrm old man a scene that would
augment. his fears. Sanson objected.
"Come, citizen," she urged him, with
a smile, "you cannot deny a lady her
last request."
Her wish was granted.? Editor of

Paris Student Restaurants.
Student restaurants lu Paris are an
Institution that Americans may well
envy. They are run solely for the ben
efit of the students, although strangers
are welcome. There are certain little
formalities that must be observed.
For Instance, It Is I he duty of every
oue entering to bow to the madamc
aud say, ?'Bonjour, niadnme." or "Bon
solr, luadame." according to the time
of day. After one has iiuixhed his
meal he asks for the "addltlone," as
the bill Is called. When It is presented
by the trim little waitress it is con
sidered only proper to say, "Merci,
mademoiselle." He then leaves a tip
of 10 centimes, or 2 cents, and, again
bowing to the inadame and sayiug
"Bonjour" or "Botisolr," he Is at liber
ty to leave. The highest priced article
on the bill of fare Is 75 centimes, or
15 cents, and tills In all students' rcs
taurauts Is a Chateaubriand, a tender
piece of beefsteak surrounded with
potatoes sou tile. Never drink French
coffee. It is execrable. The French
do not consider coffee good unless tho
bean Is burned to a black crisp.? Ly

Oak Mark For Government Surveyors.
The sky line north of Mountain
Home, Ark., rises in two long curves,
then flattens out and leaves in silhou
ette above the erest of what is known
as Wallace knob a solitary tree. It Is
such a strikingly lovely tree that no
visitor to the town falls to notice It
and ask how It got there. Then ho
hears that several years ago the gov
ernment engineers decided to lind out
the exact fall of the land from Denver
to Atlanta, Ga. Wallace knob on ac
count of Its elcvathm was chosen as
one of the three chief observation
points in a huge triangle. To mark
this knob with a conspicuous object to
?sight at all the trees on it were cut off
but this one marker. It Is an oak fifty
or sixty feet In height.? Kansas City

An Expensive Wedding Gift.
Harwood? But If you hate the chap
