EXPERT HERE FOR
PAST YEAR
N. A. T. A. T. COMPANY HAS BEEN
THOROUGHLY INVESTI
GATING QUARTZ.
Called to Fairbanks for the first
time in several years to attend to
some legal matters which have now
been settled satisfactorily. \V. H.
Isom, the president of the N. A. T.
& T. company will leave for Chica
go on Tuesday, very much impressed
with the future of the Fairbanks
district front the quartz mining stand
point. He hopes to be back here
himself next summer but in the
meantime he has arranged matters
so that his company will have rep
resentatives on the ground to watch
developments.
A few days ago Mr. Isom wired
to Guy Lewington, the company’s
mining engineer in Dawson, to come
down here and this gentleman will
arrive in the course of a few days.
Mr. lewington has been in the
North for a number of years and is
thoroughly conversant with condl
. tlous to be coped with here. It is
uot only recently that the N. A. T.
ft T. company has had its eye on
the Fairbanks quartz prospects, says
Mr. Isom, for one of their mining
experts has been in the camp for
the past twelve months, during
which time steps have been taken
for the acquiring of much quartz
property. In case Mr. lewington
reports favorably on these properties
there is no doubt that the company
would proceed without loss of time
to their development.
Mr. Isom was a visitor on Saturday
to the Cheua mill and he was much
impressed with the completeness and
the up-to-date features which
it embramces. He hopes
to be back in Fairbanks
• by next summer at the latest. He
was one of the first to inscribe his
name on the membership roll of the
Fairbanks Commercial club.

KEMAKRIFD AFTER 25 YEARS
CHICAGO, June IT. American
divorcees of the modern school who
come out of the Reno mill equipped
with a divorce and an order on hub
by for a generous alimony and who
rush hand and hand with their lat
est affinity to the nearest magistrate
to begin the next act of their mar
riage drama, may learn a lesson
from a gray-haired, feeble old wom
an and a snowy-haired, bent < Id
man who yesterday in Chicago were
remarried after an interval of 2T>
years since securing their divorce.
With the wounds caused by their
divorce healed through their chil
dren's love and their old age. Mrs.
Julia A. Margan, To years old and
Benjamin It. Margan. 82 years old,
both of Berwyn, yesterday decided
that the step taken 25 years ago was
it mistake and that to remarry was
the only way to straighten out the
error.
Airompaiiitru • »»
Morgan yesterday appeared at the
county clerk’s office and in a quav
ering voice asked for a license. Then
with the document clasped to Iter
breast and with her wrinkled face
wreathed in smiles the aged woman
limped out of tlie county building
and hurried to her suburban home.
An hour later the knot was tied and
for all time, botli declared as they
looked into each other’s face, their
eyes full of happy tears.
• \Ve made a mistake, didn't we,
Uen,” sighed the white-haired bride
of 70 as she rested her head on
the shoulder of her 83-year-old bride
groom.
"Yes. we did," replied Ben, pat
ting the wrinkled cheek. "And I
knew it 25 years ago, but my pride
wouldn’t let me admit 1 was wrong.
Divorces ain't right. If we couldn't
have secured one we wouldn’t have
had these 25 long weary years apait.
If we couldn’t have got that bit of
paper that tore us apart, we would
have patched up our troubles and
all would have been all right, would
it nut. my dear?"
"Yes, and 1 guess our children’s
love for us both is what brought this
about." replied the bride.
’’Yes, that and my love for you,"
replied the bridegroom with a
smile.
TATUM RESIDENCE ABLAZE
Shortly after 8 o'clock last night
the Are department received a
call to Eighth and Cushman, the
residence of Lieutenant Tatum, form
erly occupied by \V. H. Parsons.
It was found unnecessary to turn
on the water, the chemical being
able to cope with the blaze. Most
of the damage was occasioned by the
chemical used.
When the hose cart arrived it
was thought that the water would
have to be turned on as the house
was filled with smoke. It was diffi
cult to locate the blaze but it was
eventually found that it had origin
ated under the stairs, and the suppo
sition is that it was due to some de
fect in the wiring. The property
loss is inconsiderable.

HUSBAND EACH DAY IN WEEK
ST. LOUIS, June 12. — On a Mon
day. so many years ago that Mrs.
Margaret Voss Warren wouldn’t tell,
she married husband No. 1. After he
died she married spouse No. 2 on a
Tuesday. No. 2 went the way of
his predecessor and she took No. 2
for a pat tner on a Wednesday.
Mrs. Warren kept up with the ro
tation in the week’s calendar and
married No. 4 on a Thursday. Hence,
when she again became a widow she
picked Friday as the day she should
become Mrs. Ely Warren.
The wedding took place last Fri
day afternoon in East St. lamis, and
the ceremony was performed by
Justice of the Peace E. P. Williams.
Mrs. Warren is a petite brunette and
not in the least sui>erstitious.
"But,” she says, "as you know.
I’ve had awfully bad luck in my
matrimonial ventures. Three of my
husbands died and another became
intolerable and l was forced to cast
him off. However, it wasn't any feel
ing of superstition that prompted
me to marry on consecutive days of
the week. By chance the first two
marriages fell on Monday and Tues
day. A friend suggested Wednesday
for the third, and when the fourth
event neared I decided Thursday
might have a fling at it. Friday hap
pened to be Mr. Warren’s day off,
therefore the fifth choice. I hope I
don’t have to utilize Saturday."
The Absurdity of Overwork.
Dr. C. Hutchinson Rely, the brain
expert of Duluth, was discussing the
new tuberculin cure for progressive
paralysis, a malady common to brain
workers.
"Tuberculin has cured a third of
the cases it has been tried on.” he
said. "Hence it may be called a
pretty good cure. But a better cure
for the diseases due to overwork is
rest.”
Dr. Hutchinson Rely thnmired the
table vigorously.
“When a professional man tells
me he Is too busy to take a rest."
he cried, "I tell him he Is like a
workman who is tco busy to sharp
en his tools.”
