A Bit of Advice.

The young man had been introduced to

would make a few brief remarks, says the
Detroit Free Press. He had evidently be-
come impressed with the belief that the
mantle of Cicero had fallen on his Shout
ders, and he was not going to let it slip
off if he could help it. When he had at
went to a group of friends to receive con-
gratulatons. One of them, an old friend

and led him aside.

you"
About my speech?"
Eyes"
ITS very kind of you'-began the
young man, in misguided anticipation.
II know it is You may not think it's
kind when you hear it, but it is. That
speech of yours lasted an hour and three
quarters"
But 1 was applauded four times
you were. For the reason that we were
misled three times into thinking you had
finished"
I'm sorry you were disappointed. I am
going into life without much capital be-
yond my ability to make speeches."
There's the point precisely. l want to
call your attention to an immense differ
ence between that capital and the other
kind. In the ordinary investment the
longer you wait the bigger the interest
gets. But in speechmaking it works pre-
cisely the opposite way"

The kIondiI.e cold rieId.

Doubts are being expressed that the
Klondike gold field is as rich as it has
been represented to be. These doubts are
based upon the amounts of gold that have
been brought back by returning miners,
and on the well known tendency to make
exaggerated statements respecting the
richness of newly discovered deposits.
From reports which We're set afioat soon
after the first announcement of the dis
covery of the Klondike mines was made
and from subsequent reports it was sup
posed that many millions of dollars worth
of gold would be brought away from the
mines before the close of navigation this
year. It is doubtful if the amount will
reach 100000 and the statement was
made by a returning miner day or two
ago that all the claims that were regarded
as valuable had been taken up.
Still the fact that only small amount
of gold has been brought to light this sum
mer, in comparison with what was ex-
pected from the reports of the richness
of the mines, doesn't justify the eonclu-
sion that the new gold field will prove TO
be Disappointing Only a small part of
the gold bearing region, it is safe to say.
mas yet been prospected, and only placer
mines have been worked II is altogether
too soon to say what the future Of, the
Klondike mines will be. Much that has
been said heretofore in respect TO them
has been mere speculation, based upon
few rich surface deposits.
Mining has only jusl begun in Klondike.
Next year better results viii doubtless
be obtained. The territory viii be more
! thoroughly prospected. 1t will not be pos
sibe probably to set a fair understanding
of the extent and richness of the newly
discovered gold field for a year or more.
Statements therefore to the effect that
| the Klondike is not coming up to expecta-
| tons have little TO rest upon and are
not worth much. The Klondike gold field
is as yet practically unknown territory.

Had to Have a Record.

They were leaning over a table and in
| dustriously studying lot of records. says
the Chicago Record. one was a novice
ana one had had experience.
IT'S very simple matter when you
know how" explained the one who had
had experience. Anyone who is half
way good on a bicycle can get a record of
some sort How else do you suppose so
many people could have records"
The NOVICE didn't know. He was new
man in the cub and wouldn't care a con-
tinentai about a record if he didn't realize
how lonesome he would be without one.
Every man who rides bicycle has to have
a record when he reaches a certain stage
Of the disease, and he generally reaches
that stage shortly after joining d club.
Hence the anxiety of the novice.
you've made your century run accord
ing to Instructions" went on the man
who had had experience land you have
taken the time for every mile of it, so
where you will fit in. of course, you
! don't get the century road record, either
paced or unpaced'
4 didn't expect to- put in the novice.
Naturally not" returned the experience
ed rider. That's a pretty hard thing
to get, because there are so many con-
stantly trying for it. Wed better begin
at the other end, anyway
he looked a t. the sheets of paper on the
table before him and shook his head
You didn't come anywhere near the
mile record he said.
L did mt expect to do that either" said
the novice.
And you're even farther away from the
two-mi.e record" continued the man of
experience; and the three-mile, and the
four-mile, and the five-mile. and the six
mile-oh, you're clear out of everything up
to twenty-five miles"
That's only natural" argued the nov
ice. Il haven't had a bicyle but year"
of course it's natural" returned the
other, but that cuts no figure at ALL
You're after record and I'm undertaking
to get one for you All! here it is-twen-
ty-siX miles, Unless this table is at fault
you can safely put yourself down as the
twenty-six champion of the world,
paced and unpaced."
The novice swe.led out about three
| inches as he asked who had the next best
record for that distance.
There isn't any other record for that
distance" answered the experienced rider.
"Ihars how you happen to get it. There
are number who have made thirty miles
in less time than you made twenty-sx, but
of course that makes no difference. If it
did we couldn't have so many club rec
ords, and half the fun of cycling would be
lost. You just get a pin of some sort
and have Champion, Twenty-Six Miles"
put on 1t, and the next time you're out
with the club you can hold your head as
high as anyone on the boulevard"
