Luna runs high in the heavens.
More rain and the roads arc conse-
quently sloppy.
Considerable hauling to and from Mil
lers, Raleigh's, Grason's and Brome's

tanning fairer prices for the former than
other merchants to whom similar con-
signments have been made. The latter

A number of persons have killed hogs
and we correctly approximate weights
as follows: 100, 175, 200, 260, 800.
Judging from the loads of miscellane-
Gus merchandise which pass by Blue
Gull merchants presumably are doing a
remunerative business. The luxuries
and delicacies of the poor man-sugar,
coffee, tropical fruits, preserved goods,
etc-are selling ut minimum figures,
while the more Substantial necessaries,
hog, hominy, etc, seldom fall below the
regular figures, and they generally are
maximum-always at the top of the
market.
Examiner Joy visited the Schools last
week and found the teachers in place
essaying to instruct their pupils in a
proper manner.
st. Paul spoke hopefully of "a build
ing of God, a house not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens" Our
ministers of the gospel are striving to
get their several congregations to live
Christian lives so that their eternal home
will be in the beautiful and everlasting
mansion above. Sunday schools are be-
ing patronized and the teachers should
be proud of their endeavors to teach the
young idea how to discern between
right and It's opposite-to know aud to
love Him who, in his human nature, Is
raised TO q seat in heaven above all Gre

A Bit Of History Concerning the shuffied
Fasteboaids.

A Bit OF History Concerning the shuffied
Fasteboaids.
Christmas and cards in all possible
varieties come hand-in-hand, as every
one knows, and this year the designs ON
the Christmas cards proper are more
dainty than ever. We do not have the
same quantity as we did few years ago
when the postmen staggered beneath
their bags of printed fineries, but the
quality is vastly better, as any shop win
dow will show. But playing cards also
come into favor with the festal week, or
rather with Advent season, and it is odd
to see how we cling to old customs and
find them new.
All the whist world is alive nowadays
and even Christmas gifts are held in the
background when the fascinating four
gather around the green-topped table.
And that reminds one that i'm good cid
''merrie" England cards-playing cards
that is-were sanctioned by law during
the last week in December, and persons
who never touched card 1T any other
time felt bound to play a rubber on
Christmas day.
The only difference our deyotecs of
the table make to-day is that they refuse
to play FOR money, and cards without
money venture were fiat, stale and un-
profitable to our sturdy ancestors of nom
Puritanic incliLations. The thrift of
Henry VII caused him to issue a statute
prohibiting cardplaying except at Christ
mastime, but James of Scotland, got
from his treasurer on Christmas night of
1897 no less than f42 herewith to try his
luck.
The old song ran:
Christmas TO hungry stomachs gives relief,
With mutton, pork, pies. pasties and roast beef;
And men at cards spend many idle hours,
At loadum. whisk, cross-run, put and all fOurs.
Our modern DANES have given them
selves up to "whisk" with feryor that
is worthy their inheritance in the way
Of gambling propensities, and conserva-
tive bachelors who do not play are apt
To matter beneath their mustaches the
rhyme of poor Robin:
The kitchen. that a-cold may oe
For little IRE In IL you see;
Perhaps q pair of cards is going,
And that's the chiefest matter dong
But as yet even our most jealous advo-
Gates of the modern game do not play
on Sundays, as did the Queen and her
ladies in the time of good old Pepys, I'M
til his diary received his shocked COM
plants.
By the way, cards hare reason for
their fascinating qualities since the pos
sible combinations in pack cannot be
represented by less than 81 figures.
Think of it--l6,250, 562, $50, 176,6s9,
9es, 56s, 164, $4,000, 794,o0s, $4,000
100 ways of combining them,
But their day is at hand. Christmas
comes apace. and for those who want to
delight the cardplayer's heart there are
! gifts galore, from single ordinary pack
for . cents to gilt-edged elegance for
several dollars, and silver counters, du-
plicate boards, fancy scores, etc, enough
TO crafty each and every taste.

FREE TO OUR READERS.

Our readers will be pleased to learn
that the great discovery, DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, has been so universally
successful in quickly curing all forms
of kidney and bladder troubles, that
those who wish to Prove for themselves
its wonderful merit may have a sample
bottle and a book of valuable informa-
tion both sent absolutely free by mail.
Nothing could be fairer or mo;e gener-
GUS than this liberal offer, and we ad-
wise our readers to write, mentioning
this paper, and send their address to
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y.
DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is the dis
covery of a great physician, and as
such is not recommended for every
thing, hut will be found just what is
needed in cases of kidney and bladder
disorders or troubles arising from
weak kidneys, such as gravel, rheuma-
tism, pain or dull ache in the back, too
frequent desire to pass water, scanty
supply, smarting or burning in passing
it. Swamp-Root stands the highest
for its wonderful cures. The regular
sizes are sold by druggists, price 90
cents and one dollar.

method OF working these mines is IN
sink a shaft into the frozen ground in
winter, taking out the rich gravel near
bedrock and piling it up to be WASHED
out when the water runs in summer
time. For this reason the gold washed
out last summer could not he semi
away, and will not be brought down
until next July, when it is expected
that several millions of dollars will
come out as the result of the first vear,s
work along the Klondike. The COM
mercial point for the Klondike district
Is the new town OF Dawson City. situ-
Sted ON the Yukon just below the
mouth OF the Klondike and reached bv
river steamers.
The Yukon gold fields extend for a
thousand miles along the stream, with
a width of 800 miles. In this vast area
there are hundreds of streams and
gulches, Offering ample room for the
thousands OF gold seekers to prospect for
new diggings. The new discoveries re-
ported this year are on Dominion creek
and on the tributaries of the Stewart
river, on the Canadian side, and on
Munnook creek and its tributaries on
the Alaska side, near the mouth of the
latter the new town of Rampant City
having sprung up.
Not all of the thousands who 90 to
Alaska next year will seek fortune on
the Yukon. Some will 90 further
north to the streams flowing into Kotz-
bue sound, where discoveries are report
ed. Others will go to Copper river,
flowing south into Prince William
sound and heading in the same region
as the Munnook and Birch creeks, and
still others will prospect along the
streams falling into Cooks inlet, where
rich placers have been worked for sew
eral years. The region where prospect
ing will be done is as large as the en-
tire Pacific coast west of the Rocky
mountains, and should many new dis
coveries be made a population of half a
million people may be expected in a
few years

NEVER AWAKE.

Some people will never wake up till the
last horn blows, and then they'll ask if
that's the horn for dinner. Delays are dan
gerous and r%uinouS. Thousands can say if

would have been rich and happy. Some
never know they have rheumatism until
crippled by it, and all the while in pain,
thinking il will pass of. But st. jacobs

WHAT TO DO.

There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-R Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. 1t
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity OF being compelled TO get up
many times during the night to urinate.
The mild and the extraordinary effect
of Swamp-Root is soon realized. 1t
stands the highest for its wonder
full cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should
have the best. Sold by druggists, price
fifty cents and one dollar. So remark
ably successful has Swamp-Root been
that if you wisS to prove its great
merit, you may have a sample bottle
and pamphlet both sent free by mail.
Mention this paper and send your adj
dress to DIR. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y. The proprietors OF this
paper guarantee the genuineness of this
offer.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
Urine and let it stand "a hours; a sedi-
ment or settling indicates an unhealthy
condition OF the kidneys. When urine
stains linen it is evidence of kidney
trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate
or pain in the back is also convincing
proof that the kidneys and bladder are
out of order.
