RAILROAD BEGINNING
TO TAKE SHAPE
Seward Evening Post: Old timers
who come In over the line these
days remark on tho great change
which is taking placo since the
government took hold of the Alas
ka Northern.
Crews aree at work all along the
line beyond Mile 34, wliero for sev
eral years men hitting tho trail,
from Kern creek walked cloar to
Oscar Christiansen's before find
ing anything that looked like hu
man activity. Fall storms and
spring freshets had played havoc
with tho road bed and on ovary
side were signs of decay. The
farther out the more dilapidated the
old line looked.
Even between Seward and Mile
34, where a "committee" kept the
gasoline car in service, things were
pretty much to the bad and under
growth spread in all directions close
up to the "two streaks of rust."
Now the right-of-way north from
Kesurrection bay is being cleared
100 feet In width, tho road bed is
being put in shape for use by en
gines heavy enough to keep the
lino open this winter. Trestles are
being repaired and section gangs
are rebuilding washed-out spots
along the grade. In fact, the line
begins to look like a railroad again.

It seems difficult to believe there can
be any connection between strawber
ries anil poison gases, but the associa
tion exists. The steamships that bring
fruit from Brittany to riyinouth re
fuse to carry passengers when convey
ing a cargo of strawberries because of
the intoxicating fumes given off by
the berries when packed In bulk. Even
the seamen have orders to keep on
deck as much as possible. As straw
berries, even tons of them, give o(T no
very pungent smell, the theory has
been advanced that the Intoxicating
effect of a cargo of the frnlt is due to
the fermentation of the sugar in the
berries.—London Globe.

"Martha," said Farmer Holt one
evening to his wife when she was
■washing the dishes, "John Corey was
talklu' to me this afternoon. He says
ho wants to git married."
"Well, why don't he?"
"Ho says there ain't no one to
marry."
"There's lota o' wtmmln would like
to get John. He's passed out o' onsartla
youth Into shore middle age. He's got
u good farm, and It's well stocked, and
tie hain't got no bad habits llxed on to
him. I could name half a dozen gals
about yere that would be glad to get
him."
"lie Bays he couldn't make up his
mind to do the courtln'."
"What's he want to do any courtln'
for? Courtln's for younkers. John's
too old for that, and If bo marries a
wouian of suitable ag»—eome'rs about
thirty—I reckon she won't set store by
tho courtln' part of it neither."
"How can a man get married without
doln' any courtln'?"
"He kin Jlst ask the woman he wants
to marry, and If she suys yes they kin
be married."
"But John says he don't know any
particular woman he wants to marry."
Mrs. Holt llnlslicd doing her dishes,
put them away and, taking up a bus
ket of stockings, began to darn them.
Her husband turned to the Farmer's
Helper aud began to read.
"I'm thlnkln'," said the wife, whose
mind hud got set on the matrimonial
question, "that Maudy Sellers would be
about what John wants. She's a first
rate cook and keeps the house lookln'
neat and clean all the time. She's al
ways "workln' at somethln'."
"Heckon her father and mother need
her."
"There's the younger Bister, Susan.
She could take Mandy's place. Besides,
a gal has got to look out for a home of
her own."
"How d'ye kuow Mandy would hare
John ?"
The farmer turned to Ills paper. He
was more Interested In an article on
the feeding of hogs thaD In providing
John Corey with u wife. But the Idea
of making the poor man comfortable
and obtaining at the same time a homo
for Handy Sellers had got Into Mrs.
Holt's head, and she couldn't get It out
Miss Sellers occupied the adjoining
farm to the Holts, and presently leav
ing her husband Immersed In tho hog
feeding problem the good woman slip
ped out and Interviewed Mandy, tell
ing her that John Corey wanted a wife.
She did not ask Mandy If she would
like the position; she simply stated the
fact But a few days later when Man
dy asked if John had got a wife yet
Mrs. Holt suggested that Mandy would
bo about the kind of wife he should
have. Mandy simpered and said he
"wouldn't look at her."
One day John was at work at the
cider press when he heard Mrs. Holt
call him from the road. Ho went to
her, and she spent half an hour ques
tioning him about the treatment of
cows and chickens and other matters
pertaining to the farm. Just as she
was about to depart she said:
"By the bye, Mr. Corey, have you
seen Mandy Sellers lately?"
"No. Mrs. Holt, I hain't seen none o'
the Sellers family In some time."
"Fine gal, Mandy."
•Think so?"
"Good cook; knows all about a farm
nnd specially good at dairy work."
"I want to know!"
"I wonder why some of the unmar
ried men about yere hasn't picked Man
dy up. She's gettln' on past the age
for the young fellers, and there's not
many middle aged men In these parts
that haven't wives."
"Reckon I'ui about the only one o'
that kind."
"If you're wantln' a wife you couldn't
do better than marry Mandy."
"La' sakes. Mrs. Holtl Mandy Sel
lers wouldn't marry me. Besides, she's
wanted at the Sellers farm. She atoost
runs It"
"Don't you believe that Mandy
would like 11 home as well aa any gal
I know."
Mrs. Holt, being a diplomat, went
no further at the time. She had Bowed
the Beed both In the breast of MUs
Sellers and Mr. Corey find was dis
posed to give It time to germinate.
By a skillful manipulation of the par
ties she finally got them together. John
proposed, was nccepted, and In duo
time the pair were married.
Now, John Corey was not a pliable
man even in youth, and, having come
to middlgjige, hLs wlll was hardening
like his bones and cartilage. As tot j
Mnndy, she was a methodical person i
who preferred to do such work as a
woman is expected to do In her own
way. Thus when he saw her doing
things In a different way from what he
bad been used to doing them he de
murred. Maudy had kept the paren
tal abode spick and span. Her father
had been accustomed on coming Into
the house after his day's work was
finished to put on a pair of slippers;
John tramped In Ills muddy boots all
«ver the house. Her father did not
smoke; John did and knocked the uahe*
out of his pipe on anything that came
handy, usually the floor."
One day Parmer Holt and John Core/
met at the crossroads.
"Howdy, John'/" said Holt "How
do you like matrimony so far as ye
got?"
"Waal, I ain't as independent as I
was. My wife seems Inclined to run
things."
Farmer Holt changed the subject.
Later Mrs. Holt dropped In on Mrs.
Corey and asked her a similar ques
tion.
"Waal, Mrs. Holt, It would be well
enough If John had any respect for
the looks o' the house, ne's lived
alone so long that his home Isn't any
more to him than his barn."
When Mr. and Mrs. Holt compared
notes it became apparent to them that
if the Corey family continued as they
had begun they would not hang togeth
er long. Mr. Holt accused his wife of
having been too active In making the
match, and Mrs. Holt retorted by ask
ing him who started the matter. Since
he had done so in reporting to her that
John Corey wanted u wife he pursued
the argument no further.
Matters in tiie Corey family went
from bad to worse. Whenever John
met Farmer Holt be nbused him for
making a match fur liim with the "con
samodest woman in the world." When
Mrs. Corey met Mrs. Holt she rued the
day when she had left a good home to
keep house for a man who was so set
In his ways that an ox team couldn't
move him. The recjtals of family diffi
culties were from time to time poured
hi to Farmer Holt's ears by John Corey
and Into Mrs. Holt's ears by Mrs.
Corey. Now and again the nolts were
reminded that they had made the
match. John said he didn't blame
Holt for his share In tying him np
with a virago, but this did not cause
the latter to feel especially well satis
fled with himself for having done so.
Mrs. Corey did not hesitate to throw
all the blame for her "mistake" on
Mrs. Holt.

so marked that the Ilolta concluded
that tlicy must do something to stop
them. The only thing they could think
of was to apologize for having Inter
fered to bring tho couple together. One
evening after Mrs. Holt had cleared
the supper table and done the dishes
they walked over to the Corey farm
to carry out their Intention. They
found Mr. and Mrs. Corey at home,
and the couple, not having had any rea
son to quarrel with each other, re
ceived their guests. If not with cordi
ality, at least with common civility.

Into the ground for the next year and

Holt looked knowingly at her husband,
who, nerving himself for an effort,
after clearing his throat, said:
