ENGLISH JUSTICE
The trial, conviction and fixing of date
of hanging of Dr. Crippen should be an
object lesson to Americans.
English justice is quick, sure and ef
fective. Above all it is just. American
justice is slow, cumbersome and often
unjust.
Pres. Taft once said any man can se
cure his freedom, or at least obtain a
light sentence, if he only has money
enough. The crafty, most intelligent
lawyers of the country are employed in
ferreting out the weaknesses of the law.
Col. Roosevelt started innumerable
suits against the great trusts. They are
still doing business at the old stand.
That’s the situation, but what are you
going to do about it?
Everyone is greatly interested in Pres.
Taft’s sore foot. We wonder whether
he has the mate to that carpet slipper.
Walter Wellman took that cat along
for good luck. In case the death angel
were near each of the seven men could
take a life from the cat and would still
have two left.
You never can tell what you can’t do
until you try.
Many a good farmer or mechanic is
educated into a poor doctor or lawyer.
Ambitious parents take notice.
Many a man would rather wear a
boiled shirt and earn $10 a week, calling
it a salary, than wear overalls and earn
$25 a week and call it wages.
No Free Lunch
but Cigarettes
Vachon’s must be afire. See that
tliiek cloud of smoke? No, it’s only the
boys smoking some of that free tobacco
Andy keeps in a bowl on his cigar
counter along with Bull Durham butch
er’s cigarette papers That’s certainly a
noble thing for Andy to do.
Fairbanks has its free lunch, but
Tanana its free smoke. Every large de
partment store in town has the free
cigarettes, in the raw—including the N.
C. and Hodman’s. Some day we may
coax Andy until he gets angry and gives
us a real cigar.
Jack Hayes On Trial.
Dawson, Nov. 2.—Jack Hayes was
tried before Judge Taylor on the charge
of stealing $3,000 gold from mail sacks
on the Selkirk. lie was a stowaway at
the time and denies the crime. The
judge took the case under advisement.
Hayes passed through Tanana, last sum
mer. He tried to borrow money there.
Geo. Carl—We’re going to make a
doctor out of our boy.
Jack Nelson—And why a doctor?
George — Oh, he always seems so
pleased when anyone sticks out his
tongue.
Inquired of Sergt. Hale — If a man
wIiq is continually reading books is a
book worm, is a man who is always
reading the ticker a tape worm?
Jimmie Gallaher called on Matie Gil -
mour the other evening. On the way
he fell into a well. Must have fallen 18
or 29 feet. Only one thing saved his
life—it happed to be soft water.
“Did I ever shave you before?” asked
Mrs. Xussbaum of Joe Dehn not long
ago.
“Yes, once.”
“I don’t remember your face.”
“No, I suppose not. It’s all healed
up now.”
Overheard in Hedrick’s blacksmith
shop:
“Did you have a fine time in Paris?”
“Bet your life I did.”
“Did you visit all the cafes?”
“Yes, I was in every one of them.”
“Well, tell me, did you see any
pomraes de terre?”
“No, I had my wife with me all the
time.”
Quick shaves, quick haircuts at Xuss
baum’s.

This tells the story of the snow-shov
eling contest, last Saturday on the big
lake northeast of town. The inscription
has been painted on the back of a “for
rent” sign and stuck in the snow.
The instigator of the event did all the
work himself—with the aid of two
draught horses, a snow plow and sev
eral soldiers. The city dudes, led by
Oscar Lundin, were hiding in the brush,
coining out with their skates after the
work was done.
Everything is lovely now. In the
meantime Dr. Wertenbaker is rushing
the work on the post skating rink. He
struck a rising bedrock in the face of
the drift, but hopes to have the rink
ready by St. Patrick’s day, if not
drowned out before then.
