The Ketchinan Journal says the
ablest writers differ as to whether or
not Alaska is prepared for territorial
government. Probably the Ketchikan
Journal will name an able writer in
Alaska who says the district is not so
prepared? Is it Mr. Coutant?

Sells More of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy than of A(1 Other*

The following letter from a locality
where Chambirlain's Cough Remedy is
well known shows by the unprecedent
ed demand for it that the medicine sells
on its own merit, Mr. Thos, George, a
merchant at Mt. Elgin Ontario, says:
"I have had the local agencv for Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy ever since it
was introduced into Canada,' and I sell

FENCING
[Ordinal.]
They met at a farmhouse as sum
mer boarders. He was what woiueu
call cynical. She thought him Indlflfer
ent He was certainly a ool chap,
and the three traits combined attract
ed her. They took long walks In the
mornings and Invariably seated them
selves In some shady nook where li>
?tead of "dreaming the happy hours
away" they discussed abstruse ques
tions.
Several weeks passed, aiul there was
no mention between then) of their
growing Intimacy, lie spoke of re
turning to his work In the city without
mentioning any regret at the discontin
uance of their walks or their sittings
in the moonlight on tlie porch. She
dared not mcutlou the parting for fear
her voice would tremble.
One morning after they had come In
from a walk they went to the mantel
In the living room, where the mall was
deposited, and she, taking up a letter
addressed to him lu a wo;uauV baud,
gave It to him. Ho simply said,
"Thunk you." She spent the aft 'moon
wonderiug who was his corr< -p >ndent
and surmising his action at receiving a
letter from a mother, a sister, a girl
friend or a sweetheart. If it were from
either of the first throe he would have
said something to douote the fact; if
from a sweetheart, he would have said
no more than "thank you." This was
her reasoning.
The next morulug Instead of waiting
for him to go to walk she went alone.
That is what a girl in love would
usually do under the circumstances.
She assumed on evidence that would
have no weight with twelve jurymen
?mind you, I say Jurymen not Jury
women? that his correspondent was his
fiance.
When she returned a "depot hack"
was being driven up to the door and
who should get out of it but the com
panion of her former walks, whose
companionship she had taken pains to
show she did not longer care for, but
whose absence had made her miser
able. That was not all; he h.mded
out a very attractive looking girl,
whom he led into the house, lie re
appenred Just as the girl who had wit
nessed the arrival was approaching the
porch. lie went to meet her, pleas
antly, but noticing n severe expression
on her face his own assumed a serious
cast. Evidently there was a change.
He had been intending to explain his
not Joining in her walk by ti ll': i her
that he had gone to the station, bul
he concluded to await developments.
"Fleasant walk:" he asked.
"Very."
"I didn't see you when you started."'
"It Is not to be expected th;it you
should go to walk with me evcra
morning."
"Certainly not; that would be very
?elfish of me. Suppose we go into the
summer house."
"Thank you; I'm tired. I shall rest
awhile before dinner."
"As you like. I'll stroll down to tlu
river bank. Good morning."
This was not to her purpose. She
changed her mind and said she would
go Into the summer house for a few
minutes only.
"Why did you deliberately go off to
walk without me this morning':" he
asked when they were seated, lie as
?mined that she had done this, he did
not know It
"I don't care to attract the attention
)f those in the house by these walks,
especially"?
"Well?"
"The young lady who has just ar
?lved might uot like it."
"I hadu't thought of that."
''You shou.d have thought of it."
"We men are methodical fellows.
We take up matters as they com<>
iloug, while your sex are prone to
rake them up as fancy dictates."
"As principle dictates."
"That word principle has many cou
iltions. Sometimes it is rigid, same
ilmes elastic."
"I should tiling In this case it musl
je elastic."
"You must remember that what we
.?all principle partakes of education
The Greeks"?
"Bother the Greeks. What had they
'o do with us 5"
There was a brief silence. Evidently
the hair splitting was over. Presently
he said:
"We shall not hereafter be quite so
free to enjoy these walks together,
for"?
"Evidently not."
"My mother will be up on Saturday,
ana ?
"Oh, your mother!"
"Yes. She is an invalid, and I shall
need to devote a good deal of time to
ier."
"And the rest will belong to an
Jther."
"What other?"
"The young lady who has already ar
rived."
"She will help me in tb? care of mj
mother."
"That will be her duty."
"And her pleasure."
"Certainly; of course."
"I shall be here only a few days aft
ir mother comes, then the care of her
will devolve entirely on my sister."
"Your sister?"
"Yes; it is she who arrived Just
now."
There was another brief silence. Tlie
jiii looked up at the sly, then down at
the floor.
"Why didn't you tell me that be
fore?"
"You didn't ask."
She sat silent for a moment, then
arose and was about to start Tor the
house, but he seized her baud ami de
tained her. The fencing was over. For
the first time since he had met her h?
aald what he meant, and she replied h<
kind. HARKIET CAWLEY.
