OVER CHiLkOOT PASS.
Shooting Miles Canyon and White Hor

Shooting Miles Canyon and White Horse
Rapids the Yukon.
This canyon was named by the late
Lieutenant Frederick Schwatka in
honor of General Nelson A. Miles,
who had been instrumental in send.
ing him on his trip to the Yukon in
1853. The river, which has been
about 300 feet wide, suddenly con.
tracts to about one-tenth of that
width, and, increasing its velocity
to 20 miles an hour, rushes with ter.
rifle force through canyon with alb
solutely perpendicular walls 100 feet
high. The canyon is only three-quar-
tiers of a mile long, and at it's lower
end the river spreads out into a
series of rapids, eliminating three
miles below in the White Horse.
There are two ways of passing this
canyon-one, by portaging over the
hill on the east bank, and the other,
by boldly running through. We had
seen both ways of passing Miles
canyon, one requiring four days, and
the other two minutes. We three
looked at each other in an inquiring
sort of way, and then without a
word walked down to where the
Nancy Hanks was moored against
the bank. All took their places,
kneeling and facing the bow, McCon-
nell in the stern, Mattern amidships
and I forward. The oars were placed
on board, and each of us used an Or
binary canoe paddle.
must confess that I never felt
sicker in my life than as we showed
away from shore and steered for the
entrance. It was all over so quickly
that we hardly knew how it happen
ed. Barely missing the big rock at
the mouth of the canyon, the boat
started on it's wild ride. The walls
seemed to fairly fly past US, and aft
er starting we heard a cheer from
the rocks above, but did not dare
look up. By frantic padding we
kept in the middle and off from the
canyon walls. The sensation was akin
to that of riding a bucking broncho.
There was not a dry spot on one of
us when we got through, and the
boat had taken on so much water
that she nearly foundered before we
could bail her out. But a great
weight was off our minds, for Miles
canyon, more than all other things, is
dreaded by Yukon travellers. From

Joan of Arcs Devotion to the King.

For her king, who had so coward
ly abandoned her, she retained pas.
sionate worship. He was the per-
sonification of France. He was her
banner. One day during the trial
Guillaume Everard accused the king
of France of heresy, whereat, trem-
bling with indignation, Joan cried
out, "By my faith, sire, with all rev.
erence due to you, I dare say and
swear, under peril of my life, that
he is the most Christian of all Chris
tians, he who best loves the law and
the church. He is not what you
say" In such a cry we feel that she
uttered all her heroic soul. -"The
National Hero of France" by Maui
rice Boutet Gle Monvel, in Century.

Episode In Ii Hung Changes Career,

There is an episode in the career
of Ii Hung Chang which is never
alluded to in the promisouous inter
views which his excellenoy is in the
habit of granting to ladies and gen.
tlemen in search of copy. It is in
fact as carefully avoided as the dis
cussion of hemp ropes in certain
families. The TAPPING devastation
swept over his province when he
was still young man, and he was
made a captive by the rebels. There
was great absence of scholarship
among the Taipings, and as they
were constantly putting out impos-
ing proclamations they were hard
put to it to provide a decent or even
an Ineligible literary form for
these state papers. Young Ii was a
literary graduate of the first class.
Instead of killing him, as they were
won't to kill those who fell into their
hands, the Taipings had the sense to
employ their scholar captive in writ.
ing out their placards and NANTES
toes, and to this happy adaptation of
means to ends the world owes it's Lii
Hung Chang. How he escaped from
his captors is unknown to the pres
ent writer, but this is certain-that
he has never forgotten those who be-
friended him at that time. Indeed it
is supposed his loyalty to the fami-
lies of his benefactors has cost him
much, for it has led to his keeping
about him the unworthy sons of per-
haps worthy fathers, improbable
servants who brought neither credit
to their patron nor advantage to the
state.-Cornhill Magazine.

The subject of dreams is one of
the most intricate and perplexing in
the entire field of mental philoso-
ply, and it has not yet met with
that amount of attention which it's
Importance would seem to demand.
Sir William Hamilton, the great
metaphysician, held that whether
we recollect our dreams or not, we
always dream. To have no recollec-
ton of our dreams does not prove
that we have mot dreamed; for it
ran often be shown that we have
dreamed, though the dream has left
40 trace upon our memory.-London

READ&S BEST NOVEL,.

" men suggested "ThS
Cloister and the Hearth"
Charles Reado was nothing if not
combative. u am very quarrel
some, or other writer's are very spir-
itless, he once wrote to a friend.
1.-The Cloister and the Hearth" his
literary masterpiece and most en-
during success, was the outcome of
a dispute with an editor.
When in Paris, Mr.. Reade picked
up two stout old volumes on the
Inns of the Middle Ages" They
were crammed with curious knowl-
edge and information, and as he
turned them over it struck him
that they would yield ample mate
rial for a story depicting life at the
end of tho fourteenth century.
He carried them home, made a
careful digest of all they contained
and with the notebook before him
began story which he called "a
Good Fight. The opening chapters
were sent to the editor of Once
Week, who printed them in his
magazine, not, however, before he
had nodded them to his own liking
by free use of the blue pencil.
Charles Reade objected to this dry
nursing" as he termed it, and ad-
dressed peremptory order to the
editor, with the ultimate result that
he was requested to wind up his
story as quickly as possible. He i'm
mediately reversed his catastrophe,
made his hero and heroine happy
and thus without loss of time put an
end to the narrative.
He had hoped to make "a Good
Fight" his most remarkable novel,
and, despite the unfortunate affair
which had cut the story short, had
no intention of renouncing his am
bition or of wasting the enormous
supplies of material he had collect
ed. At Oxford he continued his ex-
plorations into medieval literature,
recast what he had already written
and added much more The result
was "The Cloister and the Hearth. "
For information concerning her
mits Charles Reade ransacked Mag
dalen college library and Bodleian,
and before he finished had read the
lives of 500 famous eremites. The
| work almost wore him out. Very
early in the course of his labors he
vowed that this should be the last
time he went out of his own age.
The point on which the story of
1.-THE Cloister and the Hearth v turns
-Gerard's Remuneration of Margaret
for thc church-was prefgured in
| the authors own life. Had Gerard
married Margaret he would, accord
ing to his belief, have lost his soul.
Had Charles Reade married the wo.
man he loved he would in all proba-
btlity have starved. Poverty, not
religion, kept Charles Reade from
happiness. In drawing Margaret the
| author is said to have had an un-
| known lady in his mind, and the
personal feeling which he infuses
into his description of Gerard's self
exclusion from home and love is per-
haps due to the fact that he himself
passed through similar crisis.
Dame Catherine, the dwarf with
the big voice, the little cripple Kate,
the Burgundian soldier, are all en-
tirely imaginary characters. Mr..
Reade had always the poorest opin-
ion of his own powers of magma
ton and invention. Indeed, SO much
did he dread wanting and lacking
interesting and useful facts that he
filled many volumes with paragraphs
cut from newspapers, extremely
few of which proved of the slightest
| value. philadelphia Ledger.

to start when threw my bait over

boat before there was a mighty splash.
Water was thrown all over me, and my
nullet was taken by tarpon. l was
scarcely prepared for him. but at the
same time prevented his getting too
much line. and the reel sang the pref
tiest kind Of song. until he had gone
about so feet, that 1 ever heard. At
this distance he jumped at least 10 feet

continued his rapid gait, jumping clear

the pace until he had gone miles to
sea and into very deep water.
Il had no control of him whatever,
and he had taken ON several occasions
during this outward sea movement

After this distance he turned TO the left
and went at least 2 miles, until he
got into or feet Of water. Then
he turned back across the channel and
went ON the opposite side Of it, probably

back into water 81 or feet deep. and
had some hope Of getting him into

without warning. he turned to sea again

DR.. BRISTOW KILLED.
Shot By His Sons Brother-in-law In
Flatonia.

Shot By His Sons Brother-in-law In
Flatonia.
A telegram was received in this
city yesterday afternoon from
Flatonia, detailing the fact that
DR.. B. w. Bristow, leading physi-
clan of that place, had been shot
three times and killed by Trotter
Hopkins, a brother-in-law of B.
West Bristow, of San Antonio, son
Of DR.. Bristow.
o. No particulars were given and
it is not known whether the affair
was street encounter or delibe r
ate murder. Family troubles have
caused the killing, which was not
unexpected by the murdered man,
as he had received word while in
this city some two months ago,
that certain parties were coming
here to kill him and at the time
he sought and obtained from De-
tective: Shoaf police protection
while the parties were in the city.
The recent divorce trouble OF Mr..
B. West Bristow and his wife are
credited with being mingled with
the tragedy.
