GlBSON'S ROMANTIC CAREER.
A Life Full of Adventures. Peril and
NiCisAituIe.

New York Times: With the death of
Walter Murray Gibson, in San Fran
cisco, SATURDAY evening, ended u career
which rivaled in interest many OF those
conceived in the fertile brains of the
romancers. His father was merchant
and importer at Newcastle-on-Tyne,
England, and in 1923, while returning
with family from a. business trip to
Cadiz, son was born to him at sea,
under the American flag. This son was
named Walter Murray Gibson. Six
years later the Gibson family removed
to Montreal, Canada, where Mr.. Gibson
engaged in business and young Walter
was placed in school in the College OF
ST. Sulpice.
At the age OF fourteen he turned up
New York. Regarding this interval OF
eight years nothing definite is known,
but it WAS said that he had gathered
enough experience and knowledge of

Mileage Tickets,

The trade circular of j. X. Armsby & Co.,
Chicago, has an article in its recent issue as
follows: ''Thcre has been quite an agitation
among passenger agents Of the different
roads about abolishng the 1000 mile tickets
for cents mile, and going back to a 1000
mile ticket for S25 and s. rebate. Now,
while this may accommodate the general
public better, yet we don't believe that Il
commercial ticket should be for the general
public, The railroads are very 10th to con-
strue this law so that il will accommodate
any class of people but themselves Now,
we don't know of any species of freight that
is carried over as many miles of road that
loads and unloads itself oftener, that gives
the railroads less trouble than good lively
travelling man, and they always pay their
freight bills in advance and there are no
ovcrcharges or rebates to pay back to them,
and when the railroad agents say that they
cannot treat them any differently than they
do any other traveller, it is simply bosh.
They can just as easily classify passengers
as to classify freight. Give us 5000 mile
ticket over a certain combination Of roads
for SI5. That is what it is bound to come to.
Make it for legitimate commercial men only,
and make it forfeitable If presented by any

in population. Even Russia must soon

when the next national enumeration
takes place, the United States will have

The Humbug Of Free Ships.

The Providence Journal contributes
it's quota of misinformation to a
debate that has been going on for
several years, and which never fails
to bring out a liberal supply of in
eptitudes:
"a few years ago and the United
States was the most formidable rival
that Great Britain had for the COM
merce of the world, and now the
American flag is practically banished
from the high seas. What did it?
An absurd law prohibiting the pur-
chase of ships in a free market"
And mighty lucky it is for Ameri-
can capitalists that they are no
longer owners and navigators of
ships on the high seas. For MANY
years, under high-pressure competi-
ton, British, German, and Scandina-
Wan, and with the pauper wages OF
those countries, the business has
been carried on at a constant loss.
Except the Cunard Company, which
paid one small dividend in 1887,
none of the great English lines of
steamers has paid a dividend for
years, and none is likely to pay a
dividend.
By heavy subsidies the Govern
ment of Germany, like that of France,
maintains these lines with q view to
ultimate military purposes; and it is
impossible that outside ship owners
should compete with them. If our
navigation laws were altered so that
we could buy in what the Journal
calls a free market all the ships we
could undertake to run, we should
only lose money by the operation.
In fact if ships were given us, we
could not run them at a profit, I'M
less the coast of repairs and the
rates of wages for sailors, stokers
and laborers were brought down
with us to the lowest limit of Eng
land, Germany or Sweden.
We are a great deal better off for
being out of that business than we
would be if we were in it. Meanwhile,
thanks to our wise old laws, our
American coasting trade is fairly
profitable and bigger than ever be-
fore. No English need apply.-N. Y.

The Muskrat In Delaware.

The muskrat is naturally a wary
animal, but when passed by hunger
is quite venturesome and often Wis
rious when disturbed. They seldom
exceed 5 pounds in weight in this
State. They live in burrows or hol-
low logs, on the margins of streams,
seldom venturing out Tor food until
nightfall. On the marshes their
towns resemble the famous "dog
towns" of the western prairie. They
are found both near salt and fresh
water. They subsist chiefly on water
mollusks. They are most numerous
Kent County. Many persons living
near marshes bordering on Delaware
Bay buy large quantities of marsh
land and devote their time solely to
muskrat farming. The sale of the
hides when cured is quite renumera-
tive, while the flesh finds a ready sale
in the local markets.

Navy Mobilization.

From all / can see the Admiralty
are about to perpetrate practical
joke of unprecedented dimensions in
this much-advertised mobilization
of the navy" According to the
official theory, as understand 1T,
the object of the proceedings is to
show the public and the world exact
ly what we can do in a real emergency.
All in a moment the message is to be
flashed forth from Whitehall that
war has been Unexpectedly declared
against us and that the enemy's feet
is already at sea. Within such and
such time every man Jack is to be
embarked and every ship is to take
it's place either on the coast or in line
of battle. It sounds very pretty.
When you come to look at the facts
it is nothing short of sublime. For

When we are, and not till then, the
obliging enemy will declare war. The
button will be pressed in Whitehall,
the fleets of Britain will go forth and
sweep the foeman from the seas, and
the First Lord will turn round and
say to the dumbfounded panic mon
ger: "Observe. THERE'S no deception.
This is what we can do at twenty
four hours notice!" As q joke it is
not bad, though little out of place.

Dog Farming in China.

The rearing of dogs for their skins
is pursued in China just as sheep
farming is in Australia. There are
thousands of small dog and goat
farms scattered over the northern
districts ofManchuria and Mongolia.
Nature has provided magnificent
protection to withstand the cold of
these northern ATTITUDES, where the
thermometer (Fahrenheit) goes
down to twenty-five degrees belowzero
that is, fifty-seven degrees of frost,
and it is doubtful if the dogskins of
any other part of the world are to
be compared with those from Man.
churia or Mongolia, either in size,
length of hair or quality. The fur
is at it's best during the winter, and
the dog is killed before the thaw sets
in, which is effected not by the knife,
which might injure the fur, but by
strangulation. Last year the value
of the skins fell of, owing to the
stocks of previous years being unde-
ivered. It is difficult to understand
how the farmers can rear the animals
for the price they obtainfor the hides.
To provide a well-made dogskin rug
at least eight animals must be
slaughtered, which, at three taels
per rug of eighty inches by sixty
eight inches, would allow not quite
fifty-five cents per dog, including the
sewing, choosing, ETC., for the skins
must fairly match in color. The
flesh, however, is no doubt used for
human food, and the market value
thereof enters largely into the farms
profit and loss account. When q
girl is married she receives, perhaps,
six dogs as her dowry.-Pau Mall

eminent for the Second National bank
of Springfield, Mass, there was an err
ror in printing one sheet of three bills,
and they were signed and paid out, first
to the town and then to the fire depart
ment and then to the merchants. The
error was, of course, at once discovered,
and the bills called in. Two of the
number we're found and destroyed, but
the third was lost. Mr.. Craig not long
ago was shown some curiosities, among
them this bill. He made an offer for it
which wss accepted. He has already
h IA offered over 5000 for it by curios,

The Elite Of Chicago.

Here in the west high-toned society
changes about once every seven years;
it is shed about as often as the human
skin is, says the Chicago News. We
have an elite directory that was pub
lished here in Chicago about twelve
years ago. Comparing it with the elite
directory of 1887 we find that the elite
element of 1875 has almost wholly
passed away; what remains is doubtless
owing either to lack of opportunity or
failure to convict. Many of our old
elite are in the penitentiary, or have
moved to Kansas City, or are otherwise
under cloud. The average age of an
Glitter is seven years, of an elitress ten
years-at least this is the estimate
given by the wisest of our local savants.
