THE NORTHERN U6HT
All exceot two of the graduating pu
pils bare Jtcided to get cap*.
The 190S clasj are to hare their p.o
ture taken Sunday afternoon for the
?chool annual.
The copy of the Alaskan sent to the
Northern Light is receiving careful
perusal at the hand* of many of the
pupil*. The Atlin Claim also has its
devotees.
The management of the annual is
having great success in securing adver
tisements. About ono hundred and
thirty dollar* has been promised al
ready. This is sufficient, along with
what is expccted from the
sale of the annual, to pay for forty
eight pages as originally planned. The
intention now is to expend any more
money obtained in a larger annual, and
it is sincerely hoped that one of slxtv
four pages can be published.

The Tourist (whose ambition has led
him to ciddv heights and trepidation)?

Crafty Girl.
"Yes." sai.i the miss who was writ
lug a love I tter. "every time I write
a word nnd am not sure it is spelled
correctly I make a blot over it."
-But don't you think he will be sus
picious of so many blots?" asked her
chum.
"No, indeed. You see, I Just draw
a little heart around It, and he thinks
every blot is a kiss."? Denver News
Times.
How You Can Judge.
"There is an old saying, my dear,"
said Tightwad, "that you can't judge a
man by his clothes."
"No," rejoined Mrs. Tightwad, "but
you can judge him by those he refuses
to buy for his wife."? Detroit Tribune.

Sworn off kissing me:
Think of whnt I'm missing.
Bliss that used to be.
Once I dwelt in clover.
Now my life Is b.ire;
New leaf she turned over,
Kitty." "tlsn't fair:
Kitty's sworn off kissing.
What n thing to do!
Think of all I'm missing.
Not a kiss or two.
Not a kins In parting.
Not a greeting rare!
Oil. my heart Is smarting?
Kitty, 'tlsn't fair!
Kitty's sworn off kissing.
Year so young and bright;
All the joy is missing.
Day Is turned to night.
Wonder when she sees me
Will her vows remain
Will she boldly freezff me
Or kiss me once again?

The Woman Detective.
O- m o
[Original.]
"This couple you have be?n shadow
ing." said the chief of detectives to his
| subordinate, a woman, -fulfills all the
conditions to make them the pair we
are after? that is. If they are newly
married."
'They have been married about three
weeks."
"How do you know that?"
"Well. 1 saw the wife pour out a
glass of water, drink half of It and
set the tumbler down on the Bldeboard.
The husband drank the other half."
"Well?"
"If they had been married, say, a
year, he would have thrown out what
she had left In the glass and tilled It
again for himself."
"H'm! And If they had been mar
ried several years?"
"He would probably have rinsed the
glass."
"Very good. I thluk you have !n
you the elements of a born detective.
It Is quite possible they are the couple
we are looking for. But there are evi
dences thai the man and woman re
ported by Bingham may also fulfill the
conditions."
"They have been married some time."
"What makes you think so?"
"I saw them myself at the breakfast
table In a hotel. lie read his morning
paper, while she sat taking in the cos
tumes of the other women iu the room.
When they arose she put on her own
wrap3. No groom would have done
the one or neglected to do the other."
"Bingham never thought of that. It
takes a woman to observe certain con
ditions. This office shall never again
be without several of your sex for Just
such work. But, to return to this con
pie you have lighted upon, the Grady s,
what other reasons have you for think
ing that they are In the third week of
the honeymoon?"
"During the first week of marriage a
couple are fearful of meeting some
frieud to deprive them of each other's
company. During the second they don't
care whether they do or uot. During
the third they begin to pine for the
society of others. While I watched
my quarry suddenly an old friend of
the groom appeared. Grady's face,
which had been show lug a bored ex- (
presslon i*or several days, lighted up
with a beautiful smile.
"And the wife?" ?
"Oh, she showed a bride's animosity
to an Ola friend of her husband. She
scowled ai him. Nevertheless tlte two
m?n went o.T together hilarious."
"Did you see the bridal pair wher.
they met again?"
"Yes. She looked at him reproach
fully. He tumbled all over himself to
get her back to a happy state of mind."'
"Upon my word, you're very observ
ing. Where did you learn all this?"
"I'm married," she replied In a tone
which, though modest, meant that her
answer was conclusive.
He was evidently satisfied, for he
turned again to his notes.
"Bingham reports that his pair show
ed all the affection of a bride and
groom. The husband kissed the wife
when he left her In the morning and
again when he returned In the even
ing."
"Does he say that he kissed her in
the dining room, In the hall and In
the vestibule? Does he say that she
waved to him from ihe window?"
"Well, no: he doesn't say that."
"And that he went back for another
kiss?"
"Nor that either."
"Then why does Bingham assume tte
couple to be newly married?"
"Right you are. I fear Bingham Is
not up to such delicate work as this."
"The questlou Is, Are the people 1
have l>eeu shadowing the pair that left
N. on the 3 a. m. train on the 7th? It
Is known that that couple had been
married two weeks. I struck them on
the 3d. I have given you the best of
evidence that the Gradys have been
married but three weeks. Therefore
that one condition Is fulfilled; there
fore they are the guilty couple."
"Hold on. there! You're a genius at
observation, but I don't quite get on to
your logic."
"Do you wish a conclusive reason for
assuming them to be guilty?'
"If you have one."
? "Well, neither of them likes children.
I saw a sweet little girl approach them
with something to sell. The wom'an
said, 'Get out!' and the man swore at
her."
"And your connecting links for your
inference?"
"It is possible for a man to dislike
children and be honest, but a woman
who could turn against a dear little
child would commit most any crime."
The chief pondered a few moments,
then said:
"You have given me two entirely dif
ferent kinds of evidence. The flrst
showed remurkuble power of deduc
tion; the second seems to me to be ab
surd."'
"To me the second Is all Important.
Arrest the Gradys. They committed
the crime."
"Have you any other reason for
thinking so?"
"No; I don't want any other reason."
"That will do. You may go."
The Gradys were arreted and con
victed. After the trial the chief sent
for his subordinate who had shadowed
them and said to her:
"The rea^>n you gave me. for think
ing that the Gradys were guilty must
have had some unexpressed connection
with other reasons. Can you explain
it to me?"
"I had no reason except the one I
gave you."
"And that was enough for you?"
"Quite enough. It would or should
be enough for any woman."
