SaIveri0 left his home recently with

KLONDIKE RELIEF.
The Army Will Manage the Elk
peditiOn and Distribution.

Washington. Dec. 1S--When the
KIondfke relief bill. which has passed
both branches of congress. gets into
conference, a provision will be added,
giving the war department authority
to use the military of the government
in the execution of the relief measures.
While there is little doubt as to the
right to detail officers and men for this
purpose. yet the department officials
want specific authority in order to OBJ
viate any question as to using the mil
itary arm for civilian purpose It is
not anticipated that a large military
force will be required It has been
stated to members of congress that the
officer to have charge of the expedition
has not yet been selected.
The selection will not, however, come
from the highest rank of the army, as
it is felt that from the grades of cap
tain major or colonel, a choice can be
made which viii secure the executive
ability necessary for the execution of
such a task.
The war department authorities look
with favor on this expedition. as it
will draw officers and men from the
inactivities of garrison life and give
them a mission in which courage and
daring analogous to that of actual mill
ftary service will be required

brown thing with shining, dripping coat.
1t is our log, entering upon its las. stage.
1t passes at once up a long incline called
the "slit'-a trench of wood about eight
inches deep and two feet wide at the top,
so followed out that the largest log will
lie in it securely as it is being drawn up
the incline by the stout chains with which
the slit is equipped. Projecting pieces of
steel on this chain serve 10 keep the log
steady, it's great weight causing it to sink
uDon these pieces of steel, which are
Ike sharp teeth. A workman, standing al
the side of the slit, by means of lever
throws UP two powerful steel-pointed arms
which lift the logs out of the slit and
throw them upon tables, from which they
are rolled down to the carriage which leads
to the saws. When the log reaches the
carriage II Is thrown upon the framework
by the "nigger''-a long. ratcheted timber

carriage flies back to the starting place
with the swIftress of the wind; and it Is
enough to make one shudder to see 1t go.
You expect every instant that one Of the
men will be thrown off and terribly in

however though there are frequent accl-
dents. One instant of inattention on the
part of the head sawyer, who regulates the
speed of his carriage by his lever, would
send the carriage flying back to the end
Of the mill with tremendous force. and

Fiske in the November Atlantic. was
small city of from 10000 to 100000 souls,
or about the size of Providence or Mime
apolis at the present time. In cities of
such size everybody Of the slightest emf
nence is known all over town, and such
persons are sure to be more or less ac-
quainted with one another. 1t Is a very
rare exception when it is not 80. Before
his thirtfeth year Shakespeare was well
known in London an actor, a writer of
plays and the manager Of prominent the

Shakespeare under the name of Action. or

Four years after this, in 1898, Francis
Meres published his book entitled Palia-
dis Tamia,' very interesting contrtbu-
ton to literary history. The author, who
had been an instructor in rhetoric In the
University of Oxford, was then living In
London, near the Globe Theater. In this
book Meres tells his readers that 1.-The
sW eet, witty soul Of Ovid lives in melliflu-
GUS and honcy-tongued Shakespeare; wit
ness his Venus and Adonis, his Lucrece.
his sugared sonnets among his private
friends, etc.
To suppose that such a man as this in
town the size of Minneapolis, connected
with a principal theater. writer of the
most popular plays of the day, poet
whom men were already coupling with
Homer and Pindar-to suppose that such a
man was not known to all the educated
people in the town Is simply absurd.
There were probably very few men. women
or children In London between 1895 and
1910 who did not know who Shakespeare
was when he passed them in the street;
and as for such wits as drank ale and
sack at the Mermaid, as for Raleigh and
Bacon and Selden and the rest, to sup
pose that Shakespeare did not know them
well-nay, to suppose that he was not the
leading spirit and brightest wit Of those
ambrosial nights-is about as sensible as
to suppose that he never saw a maypole.
