Col. Sol Ripinsky, the daddy of
Haines, who made a speech at his horns
town Friday In the interest of home
rule, was a pioneer in the fight
for territorial government for the dis
trict. He supported it when there
were but few to stand up with him to
be counted. He is still supporting it
when the entire district is standing at
his side.
The Juneau Dispatch is showing
commendable spirit in urging the peo
ple of that town ?o be represented at
the convention that will convene at
Seattle November 15. It is a news
paper's duty to lead in a movement for
the public good even at the risk of
losing good but erring patrons.
Thomas W. Lnwson is seeking to se
cure powers of attorney from policy
holders in the New York Life Insur
ance Company. He says he already
represents policies to the value of $.">4,
000,000 and he will begin action at once
to oust John A. McCall, president of
the company, from ofllce.
The special correspondent of the
Portland Oregonian, says Mayor Mc
Clellan will be re-elected mayor of New ?
York by 100,000 or more. Ke is receiv
ing the support of many reformers,
among them many of the followers of
President Roosevelt.
Haines declares for territorial govern
ment. That is not strange. Haines is
a wide-a-wake and progressive town
whose people believe that there is
something in the American principles
of government.
Will wonders never ^ease? Henry \
Watterson has become an admirer of
President Ro-|sevelt. It had just as
woll be made unanimous now.

R, H. Brown, probably the mast en
thusiastic believer in the value of Skag

San Francisco and El Paso, Texas. At
the former place he will endeavor to

and at the Texas town he will represent
Skagway and vicinity at the American
Mining congress.
Mr. Brown has been engaged for
seven years in the development and ex
ploitation of mines iu the vicinity of
this city. In the Keystone group, par
ticularly in the Dauphin claim of that
group, he believes he has one of tne
great properties of the north, and he
will devote his efforts particularly to
ward its development. From this and
adjoining claims Mr. Brown has secured
many assays, the average value of
which is several dollars a ton in free
milling gold.
Mr. Brown expects to be away from
Skagway about two month.

The Changed Bag
[Original]
How It happened I can't explain. 1
remember being at the glove counter
and laying my shopping bag on the
counter. Then I went to the other end.
where there was n lady (fr whom 1
was Obliged to wait before getting
room. I bought a pair of gloves,- open
ed my bag aud put them In. I did so
without looking Into the bag. I passed
the lady for whom I had waited. She
was standing at the eiul of the counter
J had first visited, aud I remember see
ing a bag before her that looked so
like mine that I looked down to discov
er If I had my own bag In my hand
and saw that It was an exact duplicate
of the one before the lady. I thought
nothing of this, for they were a very
common type.
When I got home I tossed It Into n
closet The next day, before going
out with It, I opened It to put In some
samples. I was surprised to find in it
a purse containing $-0, u few samples
and a letter, the envelope of which
was missing. Eager to learn what
these things meant, I rend the letter. It
ran:
Dear Julie? Meet me Thursday after
noon (3:15) at the northeast angle of tho
open square. I shall disguise myself as
an old man. Wear tho costume of an old
woman. Mary doesn't suspect anything.
Don't fall. GILUEHT.
I was petrified with horror. I was
Mary: Gilbert was my lover. The
writing was disguised, but the longer
I looked at It the more I was couvlnced
that It was a bad attempt to conceal
the hand of Gilbert Merriman. I glanc
ed at the clock. 1 had just half an
hour to get to the place of meeting.
When I reached the square tho clock
In St. Paul's spire stood at 3:10. I
walked to the northeast angle, draw
ing a heavy veil down over my face,
through which I could see, but not be
recognized. I coucluded to sit on one
of the benches and wait. Several
women came In. but they were all
young and passed on. Five minutes
before the appoluted time an old wom
an came by with a basket of apples
on her arm. As she passed me I ask
ed if she would sell me one. She held
out her basket for lue to choose, but
did not speak. I looked Into her face
and felt sure that I had caught my
bird.
"Julie?" I asked.
Slie gave a repressed shriek.
"Tou ami Gilbert are mistaken in
thinking Mary does not suspect. Von
must have lost Gilbert's letter, for
Mary has It and will be here? perhaps
is here now? to expose you. As soon
as he conies both of you follow me. 1
will take you to a place where jrou
can confer in safety."
"Dear, dear woman, how kind you
are! There he is now. I'll go and tell
hitn."
An old man, much beut aud leaning
heavily on his caue, came in at a side
entrance to the square, and the old
woman hastened toward hhn. They
stood talking excitedly, the man look
ing at me with evident suspicion. Tlio
woman was apparently begging him
to do as I had suggested, but ho ap
peared to be of a different mind. A
policeman happened to stroll by, and
the man called to him and said some
thing to him. and they both started for
me, followed by the woman.
I began to be frightened.
?When they reached me the old man
called to "Julie" to come forward.
"Is that your bag?" he asked.
"Heavens, yes! I didn't notice it be
fore."
In my excitement at my discovery of
the letter on leaving the house I had
snatched up the bag with its contents,
and there it was hanging to my writit.
The old man took it from me and
opened It
"Here's your property." he said to
the woman, "and here's the thief, lake
her along, policeman."
"Not unless you'll agree to appear
against her."
The man promised, giving his name
and address. I was startled to heir
him say not Gilbert Merriman, but
George Gilbert. The policeman took
the bag and its contents and? great
heavens!? marched me to the police
station.
The only person in the world <jn
whom I could rely to help me out of
the scrape was Gilbert Merriman. 1
vowed that I would be tried and con
victed as a thief rather than send for
him. Indeed, they took me to the ve/y
door of a cell before I succumbed.
One look Inside the horrid place was
enough.
"Wait," I said. "I'll send for a'
friend."
They took me back to the office, gave J
me pencil and paper, and I wrote a |
note to Gilbert begging him to come
to me nt once. The messenger was ft
long while finding him, and when he
came I was r'-ady to collapse. I nev
er shall forget tho look of pained-won
der on his -ace when he saw me.
"What in the world is the meaning
o r
"Oh, Gilbert, I've been very sill/.
Yesterday I changed bags while shop
ping with a woman at a store. There
was a note In the bag I picked up
signed "Gilbert" to a girl named .Tulle,
appointing to meet her in the park. I
went there expecting to catch you. In
stead I"?
"Caught a tartar."
He went to the desk and explained
the matter to the Inspector. Then he
returned to me and led me out, every
one present laughing at me, I red as d
cock's comb from my neck to my hair.
Gilbert was perfectly lovely to ma
about the matter, never referring to it,
but I never can forget It. As for tho
other couple, the man gave a false
name and never appeared against me.
nor did they claim the bag or its con
tents. ANNIE E. NICHOLS.
