With lots of money in his pocket, he
sought a wife in Alaska, wanted one,
was willing to be kind to her and give
her all the luxuries in the world, yet
he couldn’t find one in Alaska—or so
he says. The following, taken from a
New York paper, tells the sad story:
Christian Nelson, who came to this
country a poor Danish sailor seven and
a half years ago, sailed for Copenha
gen yesterday on the liner United
States, worth $750,000.
While he was in Baltimore he res
cued a man who fell off a fishing boat.
The man was a wealthy real estate
operator, and gave Nelson $1,000 and
the advice to go West. Nelson went
to San Francisco and from there to
Alaska, where he became rich.
There being few women in Alaska,
he placed an advertisement in a Co
penhagen newspaper for a wife. He
rceived a reply from Miss Julia Lo
ber of that Danish city, with her pho
tograph, and is on his way there to
marry her.
He said she did not know about his
wealth. He carried in his pocket a
$2,000 engagement ring. Nelson said
he intended bringing his bride to New
York to live.

FOX FARM INDUSTRY
GROWING IN ALASKA
Growth of a fox farm industry on
Kukoi island, off the coast of Alaska,
from ten pairs of foxes to a band of
an estimated value of $130,000 in the
last four years was described by
Claude Green, formerly a trapper,
prospector and miner of the Coeur
d’Alene district of Idaho, and one of
the proprietors of the farm, during a
recent visit to Spokane.
The foxes are fed a cooked mash of
fish and shorts. The farm maintains
its own fishing fleet, and yearly uses
20,000 humpback and dog salmon, Mr.
Green says.
Orders on hand for foxes for breed
ing purposes now total $16,000, he de
clares, and $50,000 worth of hides will
be sold during the present year. The
farm was started with eight pairs of
blue foxes and two pairs of silver
foxes. More than six hundred foxes,
with an average market value of $185
per pelt, have been raised, according
to Mr. Green.

New York.—Fascination, which the

over John Shubert, 13, is believed to
be responsible for his death.
He was found hanging, strangled by

“World Statesmanship Will Be Sorely
Tried in the Next Few Years”
By ROBERT LANSING, U. S. Secretary of State
Undoubtedly there is a great danger in the world today. Western
civilization is still dazed by the shock of four and a half years of destruc
tion. Industry and commerce are not yet restored. All of Europe is im
poverished ; parts of it are starving. Its whole political fiber has been shot
through.
World statesmanship will be sorely tried in the next few years. Two
things are essential : first an alert, intelligent, interested public opinion;
and second co-operation of the nations.
The former is needed both as a check on any sinister purposes that
may crop up and as the great support for common action. The second
is essential, unless the nations are to return to a selfish particularism
which can only breed the most dangerous dispute.
The peace conference has been history’s greatest instance of a unified
world statesmanship directing the moral and material resources of the
world’s family of nations. To allow the spirit behind it to disintegrate at
this moment of emergency, when united action is imperative, would be
fatal to all the hopes of permanent peace with which we entered the war.
If it is true that one nation can destroy the equilibrium of all it is
all the more true that each nation is bound by its own law of self-preserva
tion to co-operate with the others to check troubles before they get their
headway.
So I come home pleased but not complacent with the outcome of the
past six months and hopeful but not in the least unmindful of the prob
lems of the next few years.

which lay beneath the boy’s feet, and
was opened at a particularly lurid
scene, which the police China the boy
was trying to re-enact.
The title of the book was “The
Young Wild West Holding the Hill;
or the Fight for the Cave of Gold.” In
the picture, which had evidently
struck the boy’s fancy, a boy dressed
in a scout’s costume was being low
ered into an open grave by a band of
cowboys. The boy in the picture was
trussed up with ropes and was being
buried alive.
Beneath the picture was printed:
“ ‘Let him go, boys !’ shouted the leader
of the band. ‘If the end of the plank
sticks out a little, it will mark the
spot where the champion death shot
was buried alive. Down with him !’ ”
The accepted theory of the cause of
the hanging is that young Shuber^ was
thrilled by the picture and by similar
scenes he had read about or seen in
the movies, and was trying to stage a
“make-believe” hanging. It is thought
that after “banging” himself he in
tended to take the rope off his neck
and tie it around his arms and legs
in the same way “the champion death
shot” was tied in the picture, and then
imagine himself being buried alive. If
he bad carrit d out bis plan, the grave
of the picture would probably have
been represented by the bathtub over
which tlie boy hanged himself.
