Not Orthodox.
Strange are the workings of the in
FAINT mind. The little son of Il well
known naval officer stationed here has
advanced IL new version of an ell text.
The wife's mother, who makes her
home with her daughter. is of the old
school, a dear creature, with putfs and
caps, who reads her Bible from prefer
ence. 1t is a custom for her to teach her
little grandson every day Il verse from
the Bible, aud Oh Saturday of last week
the verse selected was:
Remember the Sabbath day 70 keep
it holy"
The child had unusual difficulty in
committing the verse. but, once mas
tered, it must have settled deep into
the very largest brain cell possessed by
the little fellow.
Sunday morning the youngster came.

nurses hands and was deposited Oh the

4 NEW WOMAN.

She's ur TO date and strictly new,
And yet she's not aflnnio with zeal.
She wears no skirt that's rgwed in two,
She IL not skilled 10 ride a wheel.
Her seS's wrongs she docs not feel.
No public scheme her thoughts pursue,
And yet, tho fact l cant conceal,
She's very new.
Her souls ideals are scant and few,
Yet not by man is she controlled,
Ard, though her eyes are deeply blue,
No occult force her chances hold.
She cares not for the days of old,
Mr. does the future charm her view.
She does not work for fame or gold,
And yet she's new.
All homage at her shrine is due.
Her clnim no mortal durcs to scorn.
She from The infinite takes her cue,
ene's fresh ms earlh's primeval morn.
She faces life with lowe.s unworn,
For, now to prove my statements true.
It's scarce one moon since she was horn.
You see, she's new,

are using these houses as base OF opera
tionS and every day that the weather per-
mifs they move a portion OF their goods

dians come down the river on the ice with
furs to trade at the trading posts below.
The American gold hunters expect to find
the road opened up by the Indians and to
learn something from them as to the
route as they proceed northward

are sixty more, and the Haines and Stock

Capt Handy believes that there will be
great immigration into the Copper river
country next year. He says that the coun-
try In the vicinity OF the headwaters Of the
Chittyra river Is rich. according to relia-
bic information furnished him. All the
parties bound for the interior are well pro-
yisioned and all seem determined TO reach
a certain locality where they say they will
find the goli.
Capt. Handy owns the schooner Phelps,
which brought a party of ~ gold hunters

markabie that the WoIcott should have
escaped the storms which have been play
ing havoc during the last few weeks. The
passengers appreciated the treatment re-
cefved at the hands OF the Woieott's off,
GERS so much that they adopted resoiu-
tions Of thanks.
