NEW YORK, Nov. 1.—The publica

BUTLER SAYS COOLIDGE
CHICAGO, Nov. 1.—Wm. Butler, in

(prosperity has been hard to explain
away by the progressives and demo
crats.”
MARVEL OF MARVELS! YONKERS
MAN IS SAD BECAUSE HIS
WIFE WONT TAKE MONEY
NEW YORK, Oct. 31.—Just because
the first woman was created out of
■ the rib of a man, some wives believe
I they are entitled to their husband’s
last bone.
Mrs. Jimmy Perry, of Yonkers, who
had her husband haled before Judge
Boote in the City Court in Yonkers, is
a glorious exception.
The Judge smiled knowingly when
he lamped the pair scowling at each
other.
It isn’t the first time His Honor
has been called upon to solder up a
hole in the bottom of the domestic
dishpan.
Confuse the Rules
The Judge has found that in most
cases the domestic difficulties of the
Siamese Twins, out on a marriage li
- censefi is due to the fact that one or
the other of them insists upon confus
ing Marquis of Queensberry with the
Bradstreet rules.
“I know,’* said Judge Boote, ad
dressing Sir James. “I know. Yrou are
going to tell men that the hand that
rocks the cradle swings a mean rolling
pin.”
“Judge,” said Jimmy, ‘“Far be it
from me to gild the prune or to rouge
the raspberry—”
“I know,” interrupted the Judge. “I
know.”
Then turning to Mrs. Jimmy, he
continued:
“You are about to inform me that
. when you were first married to your
husband he was as warm as a moelevy
vest and that now he is as cold and
clammy as a hot water bag the morn
ing after.”
“The thing is, Judge,” said Perry,
“I can’t get my wife to understand
that one drink a day is not detrimen
tal to a man’s constitution.”
“Only one drink, Judge,” interrupt
ed Mrs. Perry, “but that would para
lyze a camel.”
“Does your husband support you,
madam?” inquired the judge.
1 “I press dough on her, Judge, like
■ a biscuit moulder on a baking board.
But she won’t take it. She won’t accept
my money.”
“Do I understand you correctly,”
said Judge Boote in a bewildered
tone. “Do my ears deceive me? Are
you standing here and telling me your
wife won’t take your money?”
“She won’t take a cent, Judge,” ans
wered Perry, his eyes bright with un
shed tears. “The thought of it breaks
my heart.”
“Every family tree must have its
sap,” remarked the Judge sententious
ly. “That lets me out. I’m over my
depth.”
Nathan Lesnick, domestic relation’s
officer, has taken up the matter where
the Judge left off.

AN EMPIRE BUILDER
As all railroads in years gone by have been the greatest
contributing factors in development of the regions through
which they passed, so also is THE ALASKA RAILROAD
each day accomplishing much towards the building of an
empire.
In place of the old tremendously expensive and inconve
nient method of transporting supplies of whatever character
over rough trails from the coast, there is now a modern rail
way that carries supplies and equipment in greater quantities
to and from the Interior, and along the way, in much less
time and at far less expense than was formerly required.
This great steel highway offering regular twice weekly
freight and passenger service between Seward, Anchorage and
Fairbanks; and tri-weekly mixed service over the Chickaloon
and Chatanika branches, is at your service. For further in
formation write
