THE VALUE OF A WIFE
“You remember, I reckon, that Spink
Sawney’s wife got killed by a train
about a year ago?” said a neighbor.
“And you know Spink sued the rail
way company. Well yesterday the
court gave him $600 for the loss of his
‘That so?” returned Cap Johnson
of Rumpus Ridge, Arkansas. “Wives
’pear to have rii. like everything else,
don’t they?”
The humorist who penned this item
is too modest with his figures. A
writer in Capper's Weekly records the
fact that a Jury has awarded a wo
man residing in New York ’ItO.OOO
damages for the fracture, of a leg by
a careless motorist. Taking this
award of $40,000 as a basis, a woman
Is now worth about $470,000, recent
damage suit* having established these
amounts: Hair $20,000: nose $15,000:
eyes, $30,000; broken heart, $250,000;
arms $85,000; legs $80,000.” And this
list might be augmented considerably.
Hut there* remain other real though!
Intangible values to he considered and
which a Jury is no more capable of as

sunset glories into dollars and cents,

'nines, an editorial writer in the San
Francisco Kxaminer remarks: "Alrr.ns:
every wife js generally worth even more
than a husband’s appraisal. \ true
loving wife is beyond price. The
other kind Is not worth considerin'?
“A true, loving wife is worth a nits
band's every thought. She is worth
every drop of his heart’s blood, if ne- d
be; she is worth his constant sacrifice
and his constant toil.
"She is worth more than iuVes and
diamonds and platinum: Tnor* than a'l
earthly possessions.
"She Is worth .the Kingdom of

That’s what a wife is worth’•*

MARSHAL JORDAN BACK
FROM YUKON TRIP
E. R Jordan, Failed States Marshy
ul for the Second Division, returned
Wednesday from a trip to the lower
Yu\on section devoted to transporting
prisoners, during which he reports en*
countering some of the worst travel
ing weather exjwrienced in years of
mushing the winter trail. Blizzards
and heavy trails were prevalent thru
out the Journey and storm hound iniish
»rs wei*e found at almost every road
house an<j shelter cabin. In some in
stances. tile travelers had been held
up for two and three days at a stretch.
The worst weather was encountered

Yukon for the fishing season. There

Nixon Fork on the upper Kuskokwiin
is attraeting many from the nearby

number have gone from .Marshall. In
dications are that there will be very
little doing in the mining line at the
Inst named point next summer. Ap
parently not more than two or three
outfits intend to operate. The popu
lation of the camp has dwindled great

number. Is oiriy about two dozen or
so. He also' learned that Chas. Curl
son. manager of the N. business

from an attack of pneumonia at Rus

KOBUK SCHOOL CHILDREN
HELP RELIEF FUNO
The contribution of the Kobuk sec
tion to the fuml recently raised in this
division for Enrol**!'n relief was en
tirely the results of efforts made hv
mhe pupils of the Kiana school, accord
ing to nletter from Mrs. James Cor
bett. teacher in charge, which accom
panied the remittance of $24 received
£*>' Mrs Alice Keenan, chairman of
til*- divisional committee.
Mrs. Corbett states that the money
was raised through collections and an
entertainment given hy th<* school
children on Washington’s birthday.
(Owing to the ‘ isolation, news • »f the
j telief campaign did not reach Kiana
until the drive was over in other p.-uts
of the district hut this fact did tut
deter the children from making an ef
fort to do their bit toward alleviating
the* woe and want of Europe’s war
There are only seven children in the
Kiana school hut th'-y apparently pos
sessed ample enthusiasm for twice
their number and soon had the dollars
rolling in generously In spite of the
fact that, as Mrs. Corbett says, "con
ditions on the Kobuk n-re woefully’
strenuous.”
Miss A^nfe Baldwin. Mrs. Corbett’s
assistant, aged fourteen, was the most
successful worker and is said to ha.ve
collected more money than all the rest
engaged. Colored Red Cross posters
«1rawq by the school children were ef
fective aids to the campaign. A sam
ple of the porter work enclosed in
Mrs. Corbett’s letter, displays strik
ing artistry in depicting n snow cover
ed landscape, with a golden sun rising
above distant hills. In the foreground
is a .most lifelike representation of a
reindeer drawing a sled containing
bundles with Red Cross labels. The
driver, park led and hooded, sits as
tride the load urging his steed for
ward. The top of the poster hears a
huge red cross and bek>w the scene
is Inscribed an appeal for help from
the Junior Red Cross of the Kiana
school.” The work Is cleverly done
and evidences much artistic ability and
originality on the part of it* author.

The only eclipse visible at Nome

eclipse is total at S:23 and remains so
for 12 minutes, or until 9:05, and ends
A lunar eclipse is caused by the
immersion of the moon in the earth's
shadow. All opaque objects upon
the earth, upon which the sunlight
falls, is constantly throwing a shadow
into space Hut some background is

earth’s shadow cone and act as a bx-*

with the earth In the center. This is
nicely demonstrated in the coming
eclipse. Three minutes after tho sun
has set. the moon rises exactly In the
opposite part of the sky. #
If the moon's monthly journey
lround the earth were preformed in tho

period was called the Saras, and was

are about 71 eclipses,- solar and lunar,
