There is a good deal said about the
bicycle face and the unprejudiced OBJ
server must realize that even the fair
est girl bicyclist acquires a set hard
expression that after a few months
must certainly leave indelible traces on
her countenance, but it does seem to
me that something more to be deplored
than premature lines and loss of SER
entity of visage, dire as are these mis-
fortunes to woman, is the execrable
habit of gum chewing which seems to
have fastened itself on the wheel
woman with as determined a grasp as
upon the wheelman.
/ know a girl who had the dearest
dimples in her cheeks last year but
who now, after less than two summers
of cycling and gum chewing, has plain
and unmistakable wrinkles where the
dimples used to come and go, and with
the additional difference that the
wrinkles never will go, while the dim
pies have gone forever
Entirely too many nice girls go speed
ing through our streets these days
chewing gum at a rate only equalled
heretofore by the members Of a ia
dies" base ball nine. The only more
Objectionable wheeling spectacle than
the gum chewing girl, is the gum
chewing woman of middle age who
rides a bicycle and works her jaws in
unison with the pedals. Scranton wo-
men nave as a rule been very conser-
vatlN in most matters in the past; 1t
will be a pity If they follow up-to-
date riders of a certain class and adopt
gum chewing permanently.
All people are superstitious. This
may seem a broad assertion but it is
made with the conviction of its abso-
lutte truth. There are those who declare
to the contrary but it does not take
long to find a vulnerable point in their
panoply of intellectual superiority. The
man who derides you for weeping at
the ominous shattering of a mirror
probably carries horse chestnut in
his pocket, or a certain coin to which,
for reasons he cannot explain, he at
taches an exaggerated value, and for
the loss of which he would regard the
wife of his bosom with a degree of sus-
picion lest she had found 1t on the
'ioor and, driven by the hard times,
had spent it for fruit jars.
The new woman. who would scorn
to watt a wish over her right shoulder
toward the slim new moon in the west,
and who has no foolish notions about
Friday and the number thirteen, would
probably hesitate to admit the fact
that she wears some portion Of her ap-
parel wrongside out all day rather
than turn it for bad luck"
l know a Scranton girl who is gener-
ally conceded to have more common
sense than falls to the lot Of the aver
age mortal, but she will not cross the
street where funeral procession is
passing If its line is as long as that of
the Pennsylvania troops on inaugura-
tion day.
There is a Scranton banker who has
been discovered backing erratically
around his lawn in order not TO catch
his first glimpse OF the new moon over
the wrong shoulder, and another we'll
known citizen has come to the grim

LIVED IN VAIN.

He had wandered over deserts
And had climbed the Alpine sleeps,
Far in caves had penetrated
Where the yellow tiger sleeps.
He had chased big game in China;
He had fished in icy seas;
On the plains had camped out nightly,
Near Apaches' dark tepees.
He had been a centre-fielder
In a college base ball nine,
And had rowed in six regattas
With his boat ahead in line.
But he shrank to small dimensions.
Deepest scorn his friends eyes bore,
When he played golf that one morning
With three figures to his score.

try club golfers as far as golf is con-
cerned. Not too hot. little wind. a
glorious breeze, nothing was left to be
desired. The feminine players said it
was divine, which Is a little strong even
as applied to golf, but the men used
a stronger term, hence perhaps no
criticism is necessary. Even every day
mortals who do not play golf and who
have not lain on the roses and slept
on the lilies of life" were eminently
satisfied with the weather of the past
six days.

these will be sent to Cuba and $4,000
to the Philippines. And yet Spain,
with 100000 soldiers already sent to
Cuba, insists that the revolution is at
an end. Dispatches of the same date
as those bringing the news above
mentioned, state that Benderas, the
Cuban general, has put 10000 we'll
armed men into the field, leading
them from one end of the island to
the other. The entire Cuban army
has been strengthed and WeY!er

consent to Cuba's independence, but
it begins to look as though her con-
sent will not be needed.

Gold mining is legitimate busl-
ness, especially in Oregon, but it
must be followed as any other busi-
ness. It requires good judgment,
good management and lots of en-
ergy. Oregon is today the best pros
pecting ground in the world, and
Baker and Grant counties are the
best in the state. There are posi-
bilities in quartz mining in that Sec
tion which even the residents thereof
do not dream of. In a few years
every canyon Will have It's quartz
mill, and every mountain its mine.
South Africa and Alaska will not

The English language seems to be
faulty in that it is capable of being
construed in SO many ways. An ex-
ample of this is before the attorney
general just now, and is causing him
to delve deep into tones of musty
lore to discover, If possible, the
meaning of an apparently plain Eng
lish sentence. The question comes
up over section p of the new tariff
law with regard to the ten per cent
discriminating duty on foreign goods.
coming into the United States from
Canada or Mexico, and involves the
question as to whether or not the
same discriminating duty does not
apply to all foreign goods coming in
on ships not flying the American
flag, from countries with which we
have no special treaty concerning it..
If it does sc apply, all goods coming
in English vessels would have this
duty to pay, and it would practically
Tuin the British steamship lines ply
ing between this country and any
others. The question arose over the
words mot exempt by treaty or con-
vention," instead of ''not exempt by
treaty or acts of congress" The at
torney- general and the department
are trying to find out just what con-
gress meant.

No mystery about it. When the
Shakers offered some time ago to give
away a bottle of their Digestive Cordial
to,any one who might call at their New
York Office, there was a great rush and
great many people thought they were
crazy.
Subsequent events proved to have
been very clever advertising transac-
ton, for although they gave away
thousands of bottles, 1t was in the end
profitable; nearly every one that took
free bottle came back for more and paid
for it with pleasure. saying they had de-
rived better results from it's use than
from any other medicine they had ever
used.
There is nothing so uniformly success
full in the treatment of stomach troubles
as the Shaker Digestive Cordial, and
what is better than all, it relieves at
once.

THE TRUE STORY.

The true situation on the Yukon
begins to make itself so plainly visi-
bic that even those who thought all
they had to do was to reach the
Klondike with scoop shovel and a
couple of seamless sacks, to be able
to start home with a fortune in a
week, can see it. The area is limit
ed, the number of rich claims having
now decreased to 40, the gold
proves TO be of less value than
claimed for 1t, and weights somehow
have n fashion of showing up
on civilized scales a great discrep-
ancy. An Alaskan pound, or at
least an Alaskan pound of gold,
weighs only four ounces, or at most
six. One $13O,OOO lot of gold
weighed out at the mint less than
$4,000, while another $4,000 lot
shrunk, probably owing to change
of climate, to $500.
A man down on Sauvies island
many years ago was engaged during
the winter months in shooting water
fowl, principally for their feathers.
To an old lady who inquired how
many feathers he had he replied,
"About a tom She expressing sur
prise at the amount, he insisted that
he was correct because he had
"forty flour sacks FULL
Mr.. James McNamee returned
this summer from Alaska, having
spent four years there, one of them
in the Klondike. He estimates the
yield of the Klondike mines for the
past twelve months at $2,0OO,0OO, a
sum that would not purchase this
years wheat crop of Sherman county,
which has 700 voters. And yet
these fabulous tales have set rich and
poor alike crazy. At Skaguay 5000
men are struggling to get into the
SHOWS OF Alaska in mldWInter, wreck
ing their health, taking desperate
chances of starvation, and putting up
in money besides S4,OOO,O0O to do
so. They have gone as utterly mad
and reckless as herd of stampeded
buffaloes, and all because hope of
sudden wealth is held out to them.
With the same amount of energy and
determination, these same men could
earn, in civilization, double the
money they will make among the
glaciers of the upper Yukon.
Whom the gods would destroy
they first make gold mad. The cry
IS now ".Skaguay," to get in, but ere
long it will be 'sany way to get out.
