of a Glasgow baltic whose knowledge
of natural history was limited. One
day when on the bench the following
case came before him:
a man who had a squirrel, on going
to the country for a short time, left
the squirrel in charge of a neighbor.
The neighbor, when attending to the
animal, accidentally left the door Of
ITS cage open and, without being seen,
it made it's escape
On his return the owner of the
squirrel was very angry al the man
for his eareIessness and brought an
action against him. demanding com
penSation for the loss of his pet
The bailie heard both parties and
then gave the following as his decision.
He said to the neighbor:
Nae doot We did wrang to open the
cage door, but turning 70 the pur-
suer-''ye was wrang, tae, for ye

FIVE THOUSAND MINERS
WHOSE SUPPLY Is CUT IN TWO.
! FIVE
Rich Discoveries On Tributary of
the Yukon Which May Verify the
Tallest Gold Stories-Contradic
CRY Reports of Starvation-No
Change in Canadian Duties.

Washington. Oct. 22.-Captain Hooper,
commander of the Bering sea patrol
feet, who has arrived in Washington
to attend the seal conference, said to-
day that the reports concerning the
scarcity of food in the Klondike region
are not exaggerated. In the neighbor-
hood of Dawson City. there are. he said,
about 5000 miners whose supply of pro-
visions for the coming winter is no
greater than barely sufficient for half
that number during last winter. Great
suffering would be the inevitable result
of this scarcity of food. Although some
of the more vigorous among the miners
might attempt to get away on the ice
of the Yukon, the chances were that a
considerable number of these would
perish from hunger and exposure. All
Of the passes were practically closed
some weeks ago, and many hundreds
Of miners are NOW along the different
trails with little or no shelter and with
insufficient food supplies.
Later reports, Captain Hooper said,
indicate that rich discoveries have been
made on Arnook creek, a tributary of
the Yukon, which flows into it about
700 or 500 miles from it's mouth. If these
new fields prove as rich in gold as is
anticipated, he thought the congestion
in the Klondike region would be re-
lieVed as soon as spring opened. Ar
nook creek is comparatively within
easy reach OF st. Michaels, and steam
ers have little difficulty in ascending
the river to that point when naYiga-
ton above it is impossible on account
Of low water. It was near Arnook
creek that the last Klondike steamer
was compelled to unload her cargo Of
provisions, go that the miners in that
section are in little danger Of the food
famine that threatens other camps.
Captain Hooper expects a great rush
of people into the gold region as soon
as spring opens and he has no doubt
that the taIlest of the immense gold
denoait stories will he verified

For Promoting the Debs- Idea.
Chicago. Oct. 22.-Ihe state of Wash
ington has been distanced in the first
brush for the original operative col
ony which the Social Democracy pro-
poses to establish. It is unofficially
stated now that Tennessee mas q long
lead in the race for first position.
Cyrus Field Willard and Colonel Hin
ton, two of the members Of the colon
iZation committee. are of the opinion
that the prospects in Tennessee are
bright. Il is the belief that the state
viii be seleced on the test of coop
GRAFTON in all lines of industry. This
opinion is based on the fact that the
Social Democracy has chance to Sc
cure the contract for building a rail-
road out of Nashville. To build this
road would require the employment OF
a large number of men and the Social
Democracy is now prepared TO supply
them in unlimited numbers. Aside from
its membership the new organization
has the names Of hundreds Of men who
are out of employment.
The organiZatio has recently been
offered large tract OF land in Tonnes
see in which there are said to be many
thousand acres. This forms part of the
territory through which the road is to
pass, and 1000 acres of the land is
now under cultivation. A sufficient
number of men and their families. the
committee says, could be located on
this land to provide all the necessaries
of life for those who would be engaged
in the work OF constructing the rail-
road.
There are now % working branches
of the Social Democracy in Chicago and
applications for charters that will add
four more to that number.
