Poor Mr. .Archibald
[Original.]
The honeymoon was over for young
Mr. and Mrs. Archibald, aud they were
entering the most dangerous period for
married people ? the portal between ro
mance and practical wedlock. The
first ripple came one evening at din
ner, when the husband announced that
he had an eugagemeut in the city wjth
a party of his old cronies. The wife
said nothing. but her husband saw
that she' was doing a great deal of
("'nklng. He therefore spoke with all
_? intonatiou of affection of which he
was capable, emphasizing the "dear"
and golui around behind her and put
ting his arms about lier. It was all of
no avail. Had he not dreaded the
chaff of his bachelor friends he would
have broken the engagement aud stay
ed at home. As it was. he kissed his
?wife several times, not eliciting the
?lightest response, and with much mis
giving went out.
Mrs. Archibald had never before been
compelled to pass an evening alone. A
member of a lance family, with hosts
of friends of her own age. her life had
been oue delightful holiday. Now
among strangers, in a strange place,
sitting alone listening to the ticking
of the clock? It ticked loud enough to
wake the dead a very natural revul
sion came over her. Before her mar
riage she had thought she would die
without her lover. Now she thought
she would die without her home and
all who were in it. It occurred to her
with suddan and overwhelming force
that she had exchanged everything for
?otMns. No. for a life of loneliness.
Aud rter crown of sorrow was that aft
er all the billing and i-oolng the man
for whom she had made the sacrifice
would not give- up the society of his
/' ' chums for hers. She threw her
\ .i ou a sofa, buried her face in a pil
low and moaned:
"Mother"'
The young husband had voluntarily
told his wife that he would return by
the 10 o'clock train, reaching home at
11. This necessitated his leaving his
friends by half past 9. and when he
proposed to do Mi there was a shout of
derision.
"She's ^ot him under already!" cried
one
"Come, old man." said another, "put
up a good tight iu the beginning and
you'll have an easy life. If you don't
slavery is yours forever."
And so Mr. Archibald, rallied by his
friends, put off his solng from train
to train till the last, which left at 12
midnight. Itut some one had borrowed
his watch oa pretense of doing a sleight
of hand trick with It and had set It
back. Therefore when Archie, as they
called him. rose to go there was a
shout of laughu-r. aud be was informed
that the train hud beeu gone ten mln
utes.
Ail this puts Mr. Archibald's friends
in a somewhat bad light But they
were not >>? !>ad as they appeared
After badgering their victim for awhile
they told li.iu that be needn't worry.
One of them had an automobile wait
tug. and they would all see him home
to make sure his wife didn't abuse
him. I'afortunately they were a Ion#
while getting away, and at 2 o'clock In
the morning, when they were spinning
over ? road through a lonely wood,
there was a rejiort. the automobile
turned sidewise against a telegraph
pole. and the party was spilled In the
ron-1 A tire had exploded. The only
Injury to any one of them was a
?cratch on Archie's baud.
It was T a. tn. when the party rode
up to the Archibald domicile, and all
alighted at his invitation for break
fast Leaving them In the library, be
mounted the stairs to tiud his wife.
She was not in her room, nor had her
bed been occupied. He rang for a
?errant who informed him that Mrs.
Archibald had taken the ti o'clock train
for her mother's home. Hoing down
?talrs. he excitedly announced to the
party the result of their escapade. The
news temporarily threw a damper over
them. Then some oue proposed to take
' rchlbald to his wife's refuge, fifty
i jlles distant, and brine her back. But
one of the party, a widower, made a
?ingestion.
"It wouldn't do. fellows." be said, "to
go there without something to work
on There has been a terrible automo
bile accident. Archie has t*vn injured.
Put him to bed Two of us will stay
with him while the rest go and break
the news a^ delicately a< possible to
his wife."
The proposition was accepted. Archie
was carried by two stout fellows to his
root? and his band wound in bandages
The automobile dashed away.
About noon the machine eame puff
ing up to the house at Inwbreaklng
speed. Mrs. Archibald would not wait
to be handed out and. rushing Into the
house, threw ber arms wildly about
her husband
"Forgive me. darling." she cried.
"Be careful of his hand." exclaimed
one of bis masculine nurses. "We bare
done the best we could for the poor
fellow since you were not here to nurse
him."
"I shall never Torsive myseu.
A few days later aa automobile of I
i-ie latest pattern came, a belated wed- |
ding present from the friends who had
caused the rupture, to Mrs. Archibald,
with a polite note saying that the glr- i
trs Intended It to bring her speedily In j
case she were absent when "poor At- j
y ehle" needed her.
I The Injured man in a week's time j
succeeded lu getting away from his
wife to business, resolutely declining,
however, for a month to u:i bandage
his hand. He might have left her for
ids old einms when he liked after that,
but her tender solicitude for him while
recovering from his wound weaned
him from them, and they were obliged
either to give him up or see him at his

SHOT DEAD
Normau E, Smith, of Teua
kee, is Assassinated
N'orman E. Smith, saloon keeper at j
Tenakee, was shot and killed by Robert |
Reid, a trapper, last week. The shoot- 1
log wife deliberate, but it is said to
have been preceded by threats on the
part of Smith to kill Reid and Ed Snyd
er, the merchant at that plade.
The shooting took place in Snyder's
store. Smith had been at the baths
and, returning with an overcoat on,
stepped into the store. Keid saw him
coining and slipped into a back room,
got a double barreled shatgun. Com
ing out he instantly shot Smith, the
charge of buck shot, tired at close
rau^e, carrying away the top of his
head. The second barrel was emptied
into Smith after he had fallen to the
door. Keid says he thought Smith was
coming to shoot either him or Snyder,
as they had been quarrelling.
The quarrel between Smith andReid,
it is said, started over a demand by
Smith that ReO divide with him beer
which he was alleged to have stolen
from the wrecked Marichen as the
price ot his silence. Reid refused the
request. Afterwards Reid and Snyder
ri fused to sign Smith's application for
a saloon license. The latter is said
then to have threatened to kill both
Snyder and Reid. He kicked in the
door of Reid's house, it is claimed, but
the latter wrs in Snyder s store, where
he had been sleeping for several nights
from fear of Smith.
Smith is said to have been a bad man.
The Juneau papers accuse him ot try
ing to shoot United States Deputy
Marshal Grant, of Wrangell, at Juneau
once upon a time. He is a'so said to
have shot a woman of the half world at
Juneau.
Smith was buried at Juneau where
Reid now is awaiting the action of the
grand jury.

STOPS IT
No More Gambling in South
eastern Alaska
Judge Gunnison announced in open
court at Ketchikan last week that there
would be no more gambling jn the first
judicial division of Alaska, according to
mail advices from that place. In the
gamblers cases there he fined the pro
prietors of the gaming houses from
$350 to $800 each. The employees he
left off with suspended sentence and
the warning "to sin no more."
Preliminary to imposing sentence,
the court, speaking to the employees of
the gaming places, said:
"I want you men to pay attention, !
for I realize what I am abont lo sav
does away with the occupation of gam- j
bling. I propose to suspend sentence
upon each of you with the understand
ing, that should you be found gambling
again in this town or any town or place
in this division you will be apprehended
and brought before the court and then
be given the limit. A list of your J
names will be given to every United !
States commissioner in the aivision and
to every marshal in the district. I am J
not asking you for any promises and T !
don't want any question about it. If
you are apprehend I don't want you to
say you didn't understand me."
One man, G. O Flynn, was ordered
out of the district. Judge Guunisfln
said:
"I don't think you a good citizen and
if you are found in the first division of
the district of Alaska again while l am
on the bench it will go hard with you.
I want you to take the first boat south. |
If you are here after the first boat j
leaves, you will get the limit. Leave I
and don't come back. I think i will! I
notify the officials of the other divisions
as I don't think they want you either." 1
Ketchikan Poatmaiter Acquitted
Ed. J. Williams, postmaster of Ket
chikan, who was accused of embezzle
ment, was acquited by a jury last week.
The jury was out but 20 tninules.
Ia Time of Peace
In the first month' of the Russia
Japan war we had a striking example
of the necessity for preparation and the
early advantage of tho^e ivho, so to
speak, "have shingled their roof in dry
weather." The virtue of preparation
has made history ard given to us our
greatest men The individual as well
as the nation should be prepared for
any emergen -v. Are you prepared to
successfully rumbat the first cold you
take? A cold can be cured much more
quickly when treated as soon as it has
been contracted ..ud before it has be
come settled in the system. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is famous for its
cures of colds anil it should be kept at
