The Alaskan Adopts
The Linotype Way
According to an ancient custom
which has been followed more or
Jess by ali civilized peoples up to the
present time, Kastertide has beeu
choseu as the time for putting on
new raiment, more especially that
which is stylish and approved my
La Mode. ■' „
The Alaskan, however, was like
and wilt deal with all matters of a
news nature with a frank and fear
less manner.
The little machiue which has spit
forth the type during the last ten
years in tlje Alaskan ofliee seems to
have been built on the lines of the
"One Hoss Shay", for it was built
to run just so long, and then, like
Quick-Change Model L Linotype
the small hoy with his new red top
boots and new suit, it couldn't wait
a single day longer, so it put on its !
new dress, and we dare say that our
friends will agree with us that the
step was well taken.
Our nsw dress was designed and
made by the famous modist. Mer-!
genthaler, more familiar known '
as Linotype, and described at the,
"IJuick Change Model L".
Its versatality is great, ^ts en
durance beyond compare, and it
works with a sureness and swiftness
which is almost inconcievable, and
from this time forward it is safe to
say that our readers will not have
to stop and study out the words of
a line of printed matter in order to i
get the real sense, for we shall speak |
in no uncertain language of events
the s1' iv of old. something happen
ed. and our readers were like ihe
parson who sat upon the rock, for
they all at once wondered what hap
pened to the nows. This is over
now. and just ;;s the automobile has
outclassed the "One Hoss Shay" so
has the new ".Men;" outclassed the
"Jr."
The illustration gives some idea
of this wonderful machine, but in
order that all our friends may have
an opportunity of seeing it operat
ed. and having its various intricate
functions explained. Wednesday af
ternoon. March 23, from 3 until 5
o'clock has been s?t aside for a lit
tle reception at which time we shall
be pleased to have all who are iu
terested call and see this machine
in operation.
CONQUEROR COULD NOT WRITE
William I of England Sicned Hi»
Name by a Cross to a Charter
He Granted.
In the colle.-iioii of Norman char
ters sold recently In Kngluud. the
property of Baroness Beaumont of
Curlton Towers, York, there is strong
presumptive evidence that William
the Conqueror was ui.ahle to write,
for a grant siune.l by him and Matil
da. the queen, hears their crosses.
This collection of Norman charters
was made by the antiquary Thomas
Stapleton, one of the ancestors of
the barony of Beaumont, and has been
preserved for centuries at Carltor.
Towers. Its sale is attributed to the
costs of the war and the present high
taxes.
The earliest grant is undated, hut
was made between the years 1in!7 and
1079. It is in Latin. 011 vellum, and
is a grant by Walderand (tie Metilln?)
for the salvation of tl e soul of his
lord. William I. kins of the English,
and others, to St. Stephens church.

of the witnesses. William king of the
English; MataMa. tie queen; John,
archbishop (of -Bourn?); lloger Bel
montensis (Beaumont) and Bohert
Belmontensis (Beuuuic.ut). The docu
ment Is one of the most interesting
autographs that Is likely to cotne Into
the auction room for s . ,n» time. The
evidence of William the conqueror's
illiteracy Is not conclusive, however,
as It may have been thought beneath
the dignity of ^lie king to write his
name, as Wif'inm Boherts suggests.
King Henry I also signed one of the
charters with (lis '-ross.

EAST INDIA SLOW TO CHANGE
Eight Varieties of Marriage in That
Region Remain as They Were
in Manu's Day.
There arc eight varieties of mar
riage in India, all ->f them outlined by
Manu, the great Hindu lawgiver, and
it Is not until one i-omes In contact
with such ex.imjil of custom that one
realizes how Utile the native Indian
has advanced to met modern Ideas,
an exchange ri.vs. The eight ways of
marriage are:
Bmlituya. which consists In a gift
of a girl bedecked with ornaments to
a learned and virtuous bridegroom
who has been Invited for the purpose,
accompanied by proper religious cere
monies.
. Dalvn. or gift of a girl decked with
ornaments to a priest who is at that
time otlicialing at a sacrifice.
Adshn.'or gift of n daughter in con
slderation of a pair of bullocks given
by the bridegroom.
Parajapatya. or gift of a Slaughter
after the father has thus addressed
the couple: "May both of you perform
your duties together."
AsurA, or gifts of a girl after her
relatives have given as much wealth
as possible.
Raka-liusa. or forcible capture of a
girl nft>v her relatives have been killed
or wounded.
Gandharha, or a voluntary union be
tween a young lady and a man.
Palsaeha, or the seduction of a
maiden who Is asleep, intoxicated or
crack-bra i i :eil.
Mow to Kecogni-ie Real Mahogany.
You buj a "mahogany" table, pay a
good price for it, and then begin to
wonder whether It Is made of real
mahogany. Red gum can be made to
look so much like mahogany and Cir
cassian walnut that it is often sold
for one or the other of these woods.
How can you tell the difference be
tween the false and the true? By
looking at the cross-grain, sa.vs Popu
lar Science Monthly. If you can see
the pores with the naked eye. then
you will know that all Is well. If you
can't see the pores without tiie aid of
magnifying^lass. then you will know
that you are in the presence of red
gum.
"She came down to tell me mat
' Paul wanted me and forgot It," he said
In a lowiono. "The poor child Is quite
overcome."
Mrs. Curtis tossed her head and
rose from the table, and Katherine,
rising also, followed her mother out
of the rdbra.
There was very little said between
tlie young man and his older friend
after the ladles had taken their de
parture, but when Captain MacCauley
was ready to leave, ha looked anxiously
at his companion.
"Cousin John," he murmured. "Ton
won't let any one—"
"Indeed not," Interrupted the dot
tor, anticipating the lad's plea. "Tory
Devon Is here to stay, Phil."
"Could -I—could I see her, Cousin
John, Just a minute?" the boy faltered.
"Not tonight, old fellow," replied the
doctor, kindly. "Tomorrow, perhaps."
And Philip had to be content
That evening Katherine spent with
her mother in hopeless misery.
"He acted Just as If he loved her,"
she walled at one time In their conver
sation. "I'd give anything to find out
how long he's known her."
"So would I," said Mrs. Curtis.
"Katherine, we've got to get her awaj#
by some means. She's bewitched John
—she's brought Paul up from his grave
—and there's no telling, she may usurp
your place In their wills."
"And now she's hoodwinked Philip,"
; gulped Katherine. "Can't you think
I of some plan? Can't we claim she
j steals or something like that?"
"John wouldn't believe It, especially
now that Reggie Is coming home," was
the answer. "His letter today said
he'd be here very soon. Everything
I that happens In this house out of the
ordinary Is blamed on my poor boy."
And she began again to cry.
"Great Heavens, mother, don't do
that," screamed Katherine. "Can't yon
see weeping doesn't do any good?
You make me so nervous I could fly.
We've got to make some plan to get
her out of here. While you're snivel
j ing all the time, you can't think."
Mrs. Curtis rose and walked to her
. bedroom door.
I ".My children have no sympathy for
! me at all," she shot back. "But you
j say I can't think while I cry? Well,
| watch me! I'll bet you five dollars
I Tony Devon Is out of this house before
' another week is over."
! The next morning when Reggie
! Brown came home, lie went directly
| to his mother. Of course, as usual,
she wept nt the sight of him and be
i pun to upbraid him for his thought
i iessness. Why hadn't he let her know
I where he was? Why had he been gone
i so long?
| Reggie laughed Insolently.
j "Do I ever let you know where I
go. mater?" he demanded, dropping
j Into an easy chair. "No, I don't, and
I I won't! I've come for five hundred,
j dollars I have to have. Now cough
! it up."
I "I haven't that much money In the
world," sobbed Mrs. Curtis.
' "Then wheedle It out of Cousin
John," he commanded. "I've simply
got to have It!"
Paying no heed to his grufT com
mand. Mrs. Curtis rocked to and fro
In excess of agony.
"If I'aul had died," she wept, "we'd
have had a lot of money—"
[ "llow do you know?" was Reggie's
| quick query.
I "Because 1 know how his will's
1 made," explained his mother, "and
| unless his Caroline is found, your
! Cousin John and I get all his money."
' Reginald's eyes blazed Into a flame
| of interest. Money was the only thing
I that attracted him.
! "Why doesn't he die, then?" he ask
; ed, dropping back sullenly. "He's old
, enough and sfck enough, Isn't he?"
"Because he's getting well," replied
[ his mother. "That girl—"
| "What girl?" Reggie's voice asked
: the question In monotone.
I "Some huzzy John picked up not
long ago," was the reply. "She's
brought Paul to life, and John Is wild
I about her, and now—"
| "Where is she?" Interjected Reginald.
| "With your Cousin Paul. And, Reg
j gle, I'd give five hundred to get her
j out of the house."
; The boy rose and stood gazing down
at the tips of his highly polished
; boots.
| "I'd give more than that," he replied
| solemnly, "to know Cousin Paul was
| in his grave."
| "Then rid us of the girl, and he'll
j soon keel over," said the mother.
| But Reginald wasn't Interested In
| Cousin Paul's new companion. He
; wanted money and that was all, now
| that Tony Devon was dead,
"How about the five hundred for
•ue?" he questioned, looking at her
I keenly.
"I've said I hadn't It, my son," said
she. "Now run away and don't bother
me any more."

the house. His mind wns filled wltli
many plans to get Jiold of the cash
he needed. There were two things had
to be done. Whoever the girl with
Cousin Paul was, she had to go. It
was enough that his mother didn't
want her In the house. Reggie :ould
nhnse his own women folks; he could
make them cry all he wanted to, but
that any one, and a stranger too, could
force his mother Into a spell of hys
terics, he wouldn't tolerate.
Then the other thing to wfiich he
had made up his mind almost brought
his hair on end when he contemplated
It The world had to be relieved of
Cousin Paul.
A little drop of something—Reggie
rose to his feet and walked nervously
up and down the room. 'Twould be
easy enough to get hold of, for Dr.
John always had plenty of drugs on
hand.
That afternoon he met Captain Mac
Cauley on State street The sight of
Reggie's slim swaggering figure
brought Philip to a quick decision. lie
stopped directly in front of Brown,
and, as it was the first time they'd met
since the memorable moment when
Reggie had been flung in the lake, they
looked embarrassedly into each other's
eyes. „
"So you decided to come home?"
asked Philip, his voice sharply toned.
Reggie gathered together hl% cour
age and curled his lips. Why should
he be afraid of a Salvation army cap
tain even If he were rich?
"It looks like It. doesn't It?" he
sneered. "And It's none of your busi
ness, anyway."
"It's my business about how yon
treat Tony Devon," Philip began, hut
Reggie's fresh outburst cut off his
words.
"Nobody'll ever treat her any way
after this," he almost gronned. "She's
dead, drowned In the lake."
A horrified expression passed over
Philip's face. Then he realized that
Reginald didn't know of Tony Devon's
presence In the Pendlehaven home.
"She's better off then than she was
the last time you saw her," he said
and whirled away.
Twenty minutes later Philip was
talking to John Pendlehaven.
"You promised last night I could see
her today," he pleaded. "I'll promise
only to stay a few,minutes. May I go
up?"
"No; I'll call Tony down," was the
reply. "I don't waut Paul disturbed
today."
When the boy and girl stood facing
each other, embarrassment kept them
silent for some moments. Philip had
decided to find out whether Tony knew
of Reginald Brown's connection with
the Pendlehavens, although he was
positive In his own mind she did not.
"It's a nice aay," ne inurceu oui,
and Tonnibel's low "yes" was her
only answer. How pretty she looked,
thought Philip, and how much he de
sired to kl*s her as be had the other
time In the breaking dawn on the shore
of Lake Cayuga.
"Tony," he said huskily, "don't you
—don't you—like me at all?"
Tonnlbd opened her eyes to their
fullest extent Why, hadn't she kissed
him, oh, ever so many times? 'No
girl would do that— She blushed and
studied the tip of her pretty shoe..
"Don't you, Tony, or if you don't,
couldn't you?^ pleaded the hoy.
"I like you heaps," she breathed
with suppressed emotion. She wanted
to throw her arms about him right
then, to tell him how she had longed
to be with him, all about her promise
that she would not leave the house
again without some one with lier. She
was considering this when—
"I wanted to ask you—if you've seen
that man again?" said Philip. "The 1
one I—"
"You slung In the lake?" interrupted
Tonnlbel, a dimple peeping out at the
corner of her mouth. "No. never. I
guess old Reggie thinks I'm dead, don't
you?"
"I saw 1dm In town today," he told
her finally and then almost cursor!
