CARE FOR TIE
LITTLE ONES!
One hundred' fatherless children
of France will be supported in their |
homes in France by funds secured
from the people of Anchorage by '
the committee for the fatherless'
children recently organized here, said
Mrs. J. E. Robarts, chairman of the i
committee.
Earl Chandler, assistant cashier
of the Bank o£ Anchorage and Mrs.
Harry Cribb have been selected as
treasurer and secretary respective
ly of the Anchorage committee.
The purp»ase of the association is
to secure funds With, which the
fatherless children of France may
be supported' at their homes. The
cost of supporting a child is ten
cents a day. This small amount of
money enables the mothers of the
fatherless children to keep the
children home and out of the asy
lums and nubile Institutions.
Any jierson may adopt a father
less child and by paying the sum
of §3 each month to the local trea
surer, at the Bank of Anchorage
have the assurance that the adopt
ed child will be caned for at its
home "over there.'* The child
may be adopted' by the year upon
the xjayment to the treasurer of
$36.
Persons desiring of assisting in
this movement may secure full in
formation regard'ing the manner
and method of adopting by inquir
'ng of any of the officers of the
committee or by simply paying to
the 'reasurer, Mr. Chandler, the
amount of money they are able to
contribute to the cause.
A dance will be given one© a
month by the local committee for
th« purpose of raising the neces
sary funds with which to adopt the
one hundred fatherless children. A
subscription list will be circulated
and every person will bo asked
to snscrfbe fifty cents whicfy while
assisting the cause also entitles the
subscriber to attend the monthly
dfcnce. That these dances will

TRAGEDY IN BUCHANAN'S LIFE
Recent Revelation* Show Why State*
•nan Selected No Mate to Shara
Hi* Greatneaa.
President James Buchanan died u
bachelor. The story of the tragedy
tlmt caused hhu not to marry ™
brought out during the detoate lu the
bouse of representatives on a motion
to erect a monument to Buchanan In
Washington. Oen. Isaac R. Sherwood
of Ohio told the story as he heard It
from a friend of Butihuaan's at the
White House forty years ago.
"Iu his youth Jaiues Buchanan's
heart was won by the charms of the
bvautiful Miss Anna C. Coleman, who.
like himself, resided in Lancaster. Pa.."
said General Sherwood. "They were
soon betrothed and were counted the
handsomest couple In all the country
around. Some time after the engage
meet had been announced Mr. Buchan
an was obliged to go out of town on
a business trip. On his return he
stopped In to see a Mrs. William Jen
kins, who was entertaluluK a Miss
Oracie Hubley. daughter of General
Hubley, an officer of the revolutionary
war.
"A gossiping young woman told Miss
Coleman of Mr. Buchanan's visit and
aroused her Jealousy. Oa the- apnr of
the moment she penned an angry note
and released him frotn hi* engagement.
A short time after this Incident a party
was arranged to go to Philadelphia to
attend an opera. Miss Coleman was
included iu the invitation, and on ar
riving at Philadelphia, on a plea of In
disposition. remained at tht hotel. On
their return from the opera Miss Cole
man was fuund dead. She had killed
herself. This broke Jamea Buchanan's
heart, and he never married and never
loved another woman." .
War Instead of Tennl*.
Pittsburgh.—Carnegie Tech will not
have a tennis team this year and the
war Is to blame. It Is planting Itself
over Tech's tennis courts in the form
of khaki-clad jouths who are obtain

boy needs.

THIS HURRYING AGE
Has Forced Authors to Recognize
Changed Customs.
Stilted Manners That Characterized
the Victorian Era Have Passed aa
Completely as Has the
Stage Coach.
That the tcmpora and the mores
have suffered as much iu this century
as the I arcs and penates uiay be poor '
Latin, but is sound truth, observes the I
Louisville Courier-Journal. The times
and manners are distinctly different,
and in one especial particular of so
cial intercourse is there a powerful
variance.
For instance, in Victorian times, It
took the hero and heroine about twen
ty chapters to Ret acquainted. B.v that
time he was calling her "Miss Dora."
Instead of "Miss 'Spenluw," and he
gulped every time lie suid It. When
his love and passion had boiled and
bubbled until he was a wretched hu
man caldron, and he had to repress a I
moan every time he saw her little hand
on the arm of a dragoon. It took him
eight pages to ask her falterlngiy Ii' he
might call her "Dora." She consented,
and a proposal and marriage were the
natural sequence. To call her Dora
and not many her was equivalent to
breach of promise in the Victorian era.
And nobody but the hero and the mem
bers of her family ever called her
Dora, except perhaps her girl friends
But in these times what u difference! |
Ail the young folks cull one unother I
Jack and Jill, and It is a curious and
anachronistic youth who finds it hard I
to do so. In fact, he becomes a sort of J
gentle joke in his "set" and the girls
think him rather slow. After he has
met the lady two or three times he
letinis to consider it superogatory to
call upon her in the name of her fa
ther. She is Gloria or Penelope In sua
persona, and Miss Wllmerdlng or Miss
Schulz to her seeius poky. It Is the
same with the young married ones.
J lou hear about them for a while from
I mutual friends, and then you meet
them. You make a bow and say:
J ' How do you do, Mrs. Kaivsup." She
I does not resent it the first time. But
the fourth time you meet her Mrs.
Kaivsup remarks: "It sounds so silly
| for you to call me that. Why don't
you say Lueretia and I'll call you Aga
memnon?" And it's done.
It is pretry hard on the novelist.
Messrs. Die!; n > and Thackeray used to
till a couple of hundred excellent page*
with working up the hero to the Dora
and Clam point, and In the mild ven
. tures of Anthony Trollope Into the
I eternal triangle—bis villains were per
fect gentlemen and always wore stiff
white shirts—he consumed much space
wherein the Tertlum Quid was negotl
I ating to call the restless married lady
by her tirsr name. The reading public
I Is too wise for that now. and the !ong>
j winded authors lie uuread on the
shelves of the library, une must start
the book briskly; on page 1 the hero
ine is Dora to the hero, and on page IU
the home-wrecker is squeezing the man
ried lady's baud and calling her Esmer
alda.
Thus the fifth Georgian-Wllsoniau
period of life and literature as con
trasted with the Victorian. And per
haps it makes no great amount of dif
ference. Certainly it saves white pa
. per and makes the serial stories short*
