COURTSHIP IM ALASKA, v Clrramitanm Thkt romblnad to Mak4) Mr. Warnkm'4 Marrlac a Fall are. John AVarnken Is a bold mariner and fisherman who, during the past seven mo nth a, has b?en engned at a fishing station in Alaska, but is now on the briny ocean as a coasting seaman. There L a heavy burden on John's heart and mind, and it will require a great deal of patience before he re lieves himself of the weight. This burden is no less than a separation from his lady love in far-off Alaska. Fortwo years past AVarnken, or, as he is termed, "Mokel-plated Johnny." has been hopelessly smitten with the charms of the young daughter of an old half-breed Aleut rejoicing In the r.amo of SlelekotT. Nightly he would venture on a frail boat across the raging waters of the river to visit his lady-love, but beyond the signs that the lovers are to greet their inamoratas with, neither he nor she were able to converse with one another unless by the aid of an interpreter. Matters, however, culminated in a proposal of marriage during August last. The proposition was accepted, and it was arranged that the wedding should take place when the Russian priest visited the village. The eccle siastic arrived, but Johnny co-laborers were grievously disappointed, and Johnny himself saw his visions of bliss fading when the priest refused to marry him until he could procure some docu mentary evidence to prove that he had no wife living. His hopes thus dashed to the ground, he moped and pondered so seriously that his condition, both mentally and physically became alarm ing. When Bishop Validmir visited Alaska, Warnken applied to him for permission to marry his dear Marc la, but again he met with a refusal. With a determination worthy of a better cause, he resolved to endeavor to marry his lady-love under the laws of the United States. He stated to the father that by getting her to Kadjak he thought to enlist the services of the school teacher, who Is an ordained min ister and also acts under a dispensa tion from trovernor Swineiord. as a justice of the peace. With many em braces and vows of eternal lovo ex changed In a pantomimic manner, Johnny and his fair Marcia bid adieu. When the vessel returned to the fish ery a letter was received from the fickle mariner stating that "as he could not obtain work in Kadjak for the winter his dear Marcia must wait for him till next year. Meanwhile he would save his money and work hard this winter so as to marry her in the coming sum' mer. This letter was written in Rus sian to the girl's father and evoked considerable wrath on the head of the departed swain. When tho last vessel left the fishing station there were ra mors that the fair Marcia had trans ferred her affections to a friend of Johnny's, who remains at tho station during the present winter. It may be tated that the Russian priests and Bishop Vladimir view with great dis like the marriage of any Aleut or Creole woman to an American. Cor. Chi cago Herald.

Every farmer is interested in good roads. None but exjx-rienced road overseers should be s le-tel, and the Uix required hrr rijad retrair, if projx'rfy applieri, is money well invested. Good roads save valuable horses. Every farmer should exiiriment, in order to learn by practical exjx-rieiice, the kind of crops and uitxle of cultivation tx-st adapted for his farm. Soils vary, and the exx-ricrice of one farmer is not always a guide for another. The disjx.wition of swine is to pile up in cold weather, and the warmer we can keep it underneath them the less liable they are to do this, and unless they ean lie prevented from doing it to a great ex tent disease is much more liable to break out among them.

Writing a letter is thought to cost them very little trouble; they are sup posed to drop Into a chair before a desk, dip a pen in the ink-stand, and scribble off any number of bright, chatty pages almost as readily as they could relate the same news by word of mouth.
