PROUD OF OLD CLOCK TOWER
Citliene of Hallfftx Cherleh Building
Which Was Erected by the Fa
ther of Queen Victoria.
| Halifax, X. S., the chief British mll
| itary and naval station in America, Is
I one of the most strongly fortified In the
worid. The citadel, its chief fortress,
pronounced by engineers the most
formidable in America, occupies a com
manding eminence overlooking the city
and harbor. The citadel was begun
about 1798. under the supervision of
the duke of Kent, father of Queen Vic
toria, and was completed in 1814. At
the time the fortification was begun
the duke was governor of Nova Sco
tia and commander in chief of the
British forces in America. The cita
del was named by him in honor of his
father, George III, king of Great Brit
ain.
The duke of Kent left other remind
ers of his residence In Halifax, union;;
them the quaint old clock tower and
clock at the foot of Garrison hill and
opposite to the main entrance of Port
George. The clock in the tower, which
was brought from England, and is still
keeping excellent time, was the gift
of George HI.
Though quaint and somewhat crude
In appearance, and suffering by contrast
with the more modern structures in its
vicinity, the old tower and clock are
still cherished with pride by the citi
zens of Halifax as a reminder of the
residence among them of one who
would himself have been king of Eng
| land had he lived long enough.
Blind Persons Show Skill.
Blind persons, who have been born
blind, are, as Is well known, exceeding
ly clever with their fingers, but It Is
not often one hears of a watchmaker
who was born blind, and yet there have
been Instances of the kind. One fa
mous watchmaker's name was Rippin,
and, although completely blind, he
could take to pieces and put together
again watches of the most delicate
construction with the greatest ease
and in quicker tltue than most watch
makers who have the advantage of
good eyesight. On one occasion some
of the tiny wheels and screws used in
his trade were stolen from him, but
the thief was captnred with the prop
erty on his person, nnd Rlppln identi
fied it by his delicate sense of touch.
Another watch and clockmaker brought
up his blind son to his trade, and he
proved so skillful that on more than
one occasion he detected faults In time
pieces which other tradesmen had
failed to discover.

"ALLOT"
Anchorage,—Of'fciai and railway
circle her® hay© be n "all het up"
this week. The first eruption Btart
«'h»a your correspondent made the
charge In a signed article in a lo
cal paper that extensive and long
continued violations of food regula
tions by members, representatives
and employes of the Alaskan Engi
neering commission, had been per
mitted, while merchants and' citizens
of Anchorage and vicinity had been
compelled to comply strictly with tM
rules. The charges are verified by
manv persons, including a former
actiir- food administrator who stat
ed that messhouses, bordinag cars
an^ employes wore not furnished
with flour substitutes because the j
A E. C. commissary did not nave
aov. Regulations as to the use of
sutar were almost generally ignored,
and anyone connected with the A.
E. C. who had influence could

ordinary mortals here "waS five •
pounds. A former f°Od adminis
trator, who was also head of one
of cbe deparmtents of th$ A. E. C.
is charged with being principally
sponsible for thus "lending aid and
cora'oi* to the enemy," with whom
he ia plleged to be in sympathy.
Th<» condition^ referred to have
beea generally known throughout
tb's part, of Alaska but no one dared
make complaint for fear of losing
his JqK An investigaton has been
demanded.
The first eruption was only well
under way when *be exemption i
hoard spilled another pot of holy
beans and started a second one. The
hoard Insisted in spite Of warnings
and threats of the Scandinavian ^°a
of one of the railway divisions that
certain able-bodied Swed«ea should
bo »»nt to the trenches. They had
no particular Innterest in making
♦he world safe for democracy; what
they most desired was to hang onto
their fat Jobs. They held citizens'
frist papers and have for several
years enjoyed all the rights and
Tjrir.Jeges of American citizenship;
aJo had been given employment on
government work here in preference
to Americans. They first claimed
exemption on any frivoloua ground,
t.ut the board rejected their olaims
after the seance with their boss.
The*, after a conference, they re
turned, surrenderd thlr dciarations,
claimed and werg granted exemption
because tney were citizens of a ne
tra' country, and are back on the

THE TRUE FRIEND
: BY WALTER J. DELANEY. |
(Copyright. 1918, by Woitorn Newspaper Union.)
He was humble to the point of sub
serviency—a stranger In a strange
land, banished, odd-appearing and III
most of the time. Wo Tsln felt thte
abnormal environment and allowed It
to crush him.
He seemed to cherish It ns a blessing
and a mercy that fate had awarded
him the friendship of two noble souls,
for Into that It grew, despite their
widely separated social status. Wade
Burton was a young and struggling
physiaian and Wo Tsin was a refugee
from the Samoan Islands.
He looked neither kingly nor opu
lent the day he drifted Into Spring
vllle in rugs, fagged out, dusty and
footsore from long travel. It was his
good fortune to rest on the doorstep
of the home of John Merle. He dozed
there, hungry as lie was. Alma Merle,
coming out of the house with a dish
In her hand, was somewhat startled i
at a sight of the forlorn figure. He
was swarthy and almond-eyed, there
was a certain oriental suggestion.
Alma stole silently past the slutn
berer and proceeded to gather the dish
full of ripe, luscious berries. She re
entered the house by the kitchen door,
to add a palatable dessert to the lunch
she had prepared for herself. On a
plate upon the little corner table she
set forth a dainty but ample variety
of edibles, carried a basin of water,
a towel and some soap to an outside
bench, nnd went around to the front i
of the house again.
The stranger roused up at her foot- I
steps. "I am sorry," he stammered
with difficulty gaining his feet. "I
was very tired."
"And hungry?" Intimated Alma,
sympathizlngly. "Come, you are my
guest."
The plalntlve-eyed refugee viewed
her with a sort of mute adoration as
she sat opposite him at the table, the
generous, welcoming hostess complete.
In struggling, faulty words he made
her clearly aware of his situation.
"T loved a woman who betrnyed me,
plotted with an enemy, and I was ban
ished—I, a king!" he narrated. "It*
Is death to go back, but still I am of
the old proud race. I have learned
your language. I can make coco
nut ornaments, mncn vuiueu, wncu «
am well, but I have been 111 and poor
and homeless for a long time."
"Ton shall be so no longer, I am
sure," encouraged Alma. "When my
brother conies home he will surely feel
helpful towards you." And this was
how It was that Wo Tsln, working J
about the place and at the little vil- j
luge store Walter Merle operated, j
earned a quiet, comfortable harbor for
his derelict spirit.
He found a new friend In Wade Bur
ton. The fiance of pretty Alma was
a young doctor, just graduated and
commencing life with only patients
and courage as his capital. Wade took
sufficient interest in Alma's pensioner
to start him on the way to health, and
the responsive' Wo Tsln was duly
grateful. One day Wo was pottering
about the garden while Alma and
Wade were seated on the porch. He
ilhgered with an intelligent and
thoughtful face.
"I see a long, arduous struggle to
wards getting on my feet here," Wade
was saying. "I fear my only resource
Is to establish myself in the city."
"But that would part us!" remon
strated Alma sorrowfully.
"It may have to be," answered
Wade. "Old Doctor Kline has offered
his practice for sale."
"Is the price high?" asked Alma.
"Three thousand dollars, and I have
less than three hundred," was the de
sponding reply.
Next day Wo Tsln vanished. He
had loft a brief note. "Dear Little
Missy," It ran : "for your sake and that'
of my good friend, Mr. Burton, I am
gone. Some day I may return. The
good fortune will come to you—be
happy."
At the end of that week a town law
yer came'to Wade. He handed him a
signed document from Doctor Kline, j
transferring to him his practice. j
"It Is bought and paid for by a lj
friend whose name I am not at Utterly /
to disclose," said the attorney/' and
left Wade In wonderment. CO

"Because of lore for the missy and

a rapt look at both.

What's your bill?"
"The tlsual five per cent on the orig

John Bliss pocketed the draft that

mail, and drew out his own check
book, filled out a blank and handed It
to the broker.
"Oh, say!" In sincere surprise ex
claimed the latter—"a thousand dol

"It's worth It to me," averred his
generous client. "There's a restric
tion I want to make: I don't want the
public, and especially my wife, to
know of this transaction. Of course,
It was open and above board, and
square and legitimate, but I don't want
to be classed as a speculator. It
places me at a point I've been trying to
reach for years. I intend to make
things a little more comfortable for
Nance. Comfort—I'll make It luxury,

It had excited and enthused him to
make a big stake all at once. It had
warmed his heart to think of Nancy.
They had been married for thirty
years. Their only boy had Just en
listed for the war. During the thirty
years, husband and wife had been real
workers. For ten years both had set
tled down Into a routine existence.
With daylight John was at his farm
work. Before daylight Nancy was up
and around, preparing breakfast and
starting the manifold household du
ties of the day.
So It had come about that greetings
had become purely Informal, and com
panionship unconventional and com
monplace. He had long since forgot
ten to kiss her, and she had accepted
the lack of demonstrative affection as
latent sentimentality obscured by
pressing demands for labor. She was
firm at times, stern, but never cross
or perverse, while he valued her ster
ling qualities of sacrifice and toll at
their true worth.
Buttnow with a positive reuer rrom
the fear of old age, penury, a new
spirit was born In John. He was quite
gay and light-footed as he proceeded
to the bank to deposit his draft. He
was clear-eyed and smiling as he en
tered the house. Inspired with secret
plans for giving Nancy the surprise of
her life when the right moment ar- /
rived. She was keen-minded enough
to note his unusually Jubilant mood.
"Letter from Arnold," he announce*'- \
"Just got It at the post office. Be'31'

"He deserves It, and won It-—I "" *
proud of the boy," commented
Bliss, with feeling. By the way, V0' |

dain of sentiment through twenty
years had made her take even the con

to his knee. "Reckon I deserve It—
neglecting you so long, Nance," he said
In a low, Intense tone; "but that dear
cheek is Just as velvety to me now as

She hid her face on his shoulder

Her lips rested upon the still tingling
cheek and soothed It, and the old love
awoke like some new spirit of delight
In her lonely soul.
