ALASKAN MILITARY SERVICE Tbe War Department has just m»de publio the annual report of Brigadier-General George M. Ran dal, commanding the Department of Alaska- General Randall lays much etreea on the rigors of an Alaskan winter. The cold, he say», i« intense, and continues so from November to April, with se vere and frequent blizzards. There is no dockage for ocean vessels at the supply port, Fort St. Michael, and all supplies must be lightered from ships in the open. If the weather is rough the work of light ering becomes impossible. t Owing.to the isolation of army posts and to the lack of facilities f ,r instruction in drill and for con vening oourt-niW J, General Ran dall says, troops It it to serve there for several years must deteriorate in military efficiency. He therefore recommends that troops stationed in Alaska be relieved every two years, and that only men with more than two years to serve be ordered there.

The Episcopal convention in San Francisco has prohibited their ministers performing the marriage ceremony where either party has a living husband or wife. The text ot the canon is as follows: No minister shall solemnize a marriage between any two persons unless or until, by inquiry, he shall have satisfied himself that ueither person Las been, or is the husband or the wife of any person then living; unless the former narriage;was annuled by a decre of eome civil court of com peter jurisdiction for cause existing be fore such former marriage. Nothing has yet developed in the Schley court of inquiry to indicate I that Admiral Sampson got even a whiff of the gunpowder odor that filled the air while the Brooklyn,!

I was happy till the question of Mra. . Cheswick's ball came up. There was nothing with which to purchase a suit- ' Mj biothur Ned bad : I •> u to college on,- term and was Strug gllng for means to pay for another. I I aa a visit, w k offered me the wherewithal to buy a | dress. I thought of Ned's condition J Mid made up my mind to turn the mon ' ey over to him. “Grandma-' I said, “pray excuse uie. I but if you will allow me to do as I ■ please whh this money TH send it home to Ned.” And what do you propose wearing | at the ball?” demanded grandma. "1 shan't go to the ball,” I said, clink tog down a sob. “Oh, yes. you wlli,” she replied. "I've accepted Mrs. Cheswick's Invitation, ami you shall not offend her by stay ing at home. You must go.” ' Very well," I answered. "I shall tie obliged to wear my old white muslin. I've nothing else "Grandma, don’t you think I had bet ter send an excuse to Mrs. Cheswick?” I ventured to suggest at last. "I really don't care to go to the t>all." Grandma only laughed and shrugged her shoulders tn her own peculiar way. “It will have to be the white muslin, after all, I fear, child," she said, with a sigh. And tbe white muslin It was. The glitter of tho ballroom and the sound of the music and tho sweet gen tleness of Mrs. Cheswick's manner soon reassured me and quite put to flight my misgivings. Before I had been at Bloomington two hours I had danced not only the first set with Ma jor Cheswick, but half a dozen others. He took me out to supper, too. and when he hade me good night at the enrriage door he picked up a withered cornflower that fell from my hair and fastened It In his buttonhole. "Well.” questioned grandma when we met at breakfast next morning, "what about the ball? How did you like it?” “Oh, grandma,” I cried, "It was the happiest night of my whole life!" “In spite of the old white muslin?” “Oh. I didn’t think of it. grandma— not once! I was so delighted with the ball that I forgot all about myself.” All this liappened in October, and that very day I had to leave for home, where I found that Ned had already gone to college, having bad to start earlier than he had expected. "We would not let you know,” said papa, "lest you should miss the ball." It was growing dusk when I returned home from my usual afternoon's ride a few weeks later, and a cheerful light gleamed from the sltthlB room win dows. I *u pa did no*, bo we rev. <mme W most me as usual, so I cantered around to the stable, put up Beauty and then went In by the back way and hurried up «Hairs to ehaagv my drees. ‘N suppose tbe deft» old love,” I said to myself, "la hnsy and dors not bear me." When I had finished my simple toilet. I hurried down stairs and burst In«» th« room, saying: “Here I am, safe and sound, papa, and Tve had such a graud gallop, and there's a letter from Nod. and I hopn you haven't let tlio muffins burn.” “I am afraid I have, my dear,” he an swered. “for I have company. Mujor Chesw ick Is here. 1 believe you are al ready acquainted with him?” I looked around and now. for the first time, saw Hint another person was In tbe room. “I beg pardon. Miss Gladys. 1 trust you haven’t quite forgotten me, but I fear you have. Rut I am. I assure you. Major Cheswick, and I thought I would just run down and «ir how you are all doing over here,” said he. Major Cheswick spent a week In the neighborhood, and every evening found him our guest. "Such a pleasant time I’ve hud.” he said one afternoon, standing beside me while I arranged the autumn leaves he had gathered. “Rut It Is over. I must go home tomorrow." "Tomorrow?" "Yes. tomorrow. Shall you miss mo just a little? I »out say no. Don't take back tbe sweet confession your eyes have this minute made. I love you, Gladys. Tlds Is why I enmo I fell In love with you the night we met at my mother's ball.” "Ob. Major Cheswick! The night I wore my white muslin dress?" His eyes fairly danced with suppress ed laughter as I spoke. “Yes. your white muslin. I’ve heard all about your ball dress, Gladys,” he said, taking my hand, "and I regard it ns a robe of honor. I thought It the prettiest dr> s I had ever seen and the w. arer the one w »man In tho world for me—the only one I have ever eared to make my wife. Don't torn away.” for I was averting my head to hide tbs happy blushes. “Don't leave me In sus- p, use. Give tne my answer now. Gladys.” I did not say “Yea," but 1 suppose my eyes answered him.
