quite attractive in appearance, being
[ circular in shape and of polished
brass. One special feature of these
j new thermometers being that they
I never register below seventy degrees
I thus the guests of the hotel can ah i
ways be comfortably warm, by just
looking at them, despite the temper
ature and the fact that the furnace
lias gone out.—Cont.

VALENTINE UNINCUMBERED
POLITICALLY
-
| In reply to a letter written by a
Seward Republican in which he was
charged with being a Wickersham
Chamberlin man, the following de
nial has been wired by Emery Valen
tine, preferential candidate for Gov
ernor at the coming primary election;
Juneau, Apr. 23, 1924.
“I am not supporting Cham
berlin, and would do nothing for
him anyway. Wickersham is
taking no part. I was manager
for him years ago, but he has
forgotten past favors and is do
ing nothing for anyone. I am
for Alaska and its people; noth
ing else.”
(Signed) E. VALENTINE.

Those Dainty Dresses
“Pardon me, did you drop your hand
kerchief during the dance?”
“Oh! I’m so embarrassed! That is
my dress.”
Definition of a giggle: That rat
tle of a lonesome thought in an empty
brain.
“If motor cars and tractors get
more plentiful ,what about the white
horse for every red-headed girl we
see ?” worries Bill.
Irish insists he heard a girl tell her
escort that “men who dont’ wear gar
ters have more confidence than she
has.’ ’
Which for no reason at all reminds
us of the W. K. absent minded Seward
man who threw his clothes on the bed
and carefully laid himself over the
back of a chair.
With regard to Mr. Harding’s am
bition to break the solid South, Smith
says he’d like to remind him that the
boll-weevil has been trying to do it
for 15 years.
Well ,when girls get to wearing cor
sets again, it may make a litttle more
room in the street cars.
A bootlegger tells us that when he
was seized with the grippe it kept him
in longer than when he was seized
with a suitcase.
In a city you are in danger of being
run down by autos, but in some of
these Alaska towns you are run down
by gossips .
