Ute Independent: A number of
Denison girls recently invited their
male friends to a party, saying that
n feature of the entertainment would
be a swimming match between two
girls. Everyone went and found that
this part of the program was carried
out between the girls sitting at a Ia
BILE with a bowl of water between
them in which floated a match. The
young men muttered a few inaudible
words to themselves, and the girls
looked lust as innocent"

Tacoma, Wash, Aug. 23.-Strikes OF
gold riyallng hose on the Klondike have
been made on Stewart river and Hen
derson creek, tributaries OF the Yukon,
several hundred miles above the Klon-
dixie river. AeageT reports Of these finds
were received several weeks ago and
more accurate news is brought down 10y
the Queen.
William Brice received a letter from
william Forrest, an experienced miner,
who left here late in June for the Yukon.
Al Lake Linderman mis- party received
definite news OF the big discovery on the
Stewart river. He was told by reliable
men that in three days the dlscoverer
took ninety-six pounds. or $23, 600. in
nuggets n gold dust from his Stewart
river claim. Adjoining claims were full
ly as rich.
The discoveries left Dawson in May
TO prospect. having been unable to Sc
cure claims on the Klondike. They had
only time TO dig deep enough TO prove
that gold existed In large quantities
when Stewart river rose too high to per-
NIT of further mining until fall.

Stewart river empties into the Yukon
twenty-five miles above Sixty-Mile and
Henderson creek is twelve miles below
the mouth of Stewart river. Men with
hand rockers hav made IS and $40 per
day for a number Of years on the bars
OF Stewart river. This fact led to min
ers at Dawson deciding last spring TO
thoroughly prospect the upper gulches
and tributaries OF the stream. Enroute
to the Stewart river one party stopped
TO explore Henderson creek, and a few
days later the discoveries were made.
Indians Kill Each Other.

of "A fight which took place on the

Among the women writers OF the cap
ital there is one young matron whose
name is very we'll known. A few months
ago she sent a short story to magazine
which presented itself as an untried field.
By and by she received notification that
the story had been accepted and that in
payment thereof her name had been put
on the subscription list for one year.
The author imm ediately returned an
swer that the compensation was not ad-
equate.
Dear madam" the editor wrote
back, "yours Of such date received.

ence would burden her with three cop
les of the magazine she was forced to be
content with that. Washington Post.

A YOUTHFUL EXEGETE.
His Interpretation of the Scriptures Was
Not Orthodox.

His Interpretation of the Scriptures Was
Not Orthodox.
Strange are the workings of the in
FAINT mind. The little son of we'll
known naval officer stationed here has
advanced new version of an old text.
The wife's mother, who makes her
home with her daughter, is of the old
school, dear creature, with puffs and
caps, who reads her Bible from prefer
ence. 1t is custom for her to teach her
little grandson every day verse from
the Bible, and on Saturday of last week
the verse selected was:
Remember the Sabbath day 30 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,
fresh, white and starched, from his
nurses hands and was deposited on the
front porch until the family assembled
for church. Emerging at the last mo-
ment, the mother was Mortified at the
sight of her small offspring seated upon
the terrace, digging with all his might
into the moist ground.
Baby, baby, come here this minute.
Don't you know it is naughty to play
on Sunday and get yourself all dirt?"
cried the mother.
The little fellow looked up with a
puzzled air and made answer, "Why,
muvver, dear, l is digging holes for
Sunday"
Digging holes for Sunday? What
nonsensel You bad, bad little son., re-
turned the mother, none too gently,
trying to rescue the once immaculate
suit.
"Now, muvver, dear, did learn We
verse from grandma, and it was Re
member We Sabbath day to keep it
holy, and l is only digging We holes for
Sunday to make it holy, and l isn't a
bad little son at all.
There was a suspicious trembling
about the mouth, but it is needless to
relate that the little philosopher was
caught in his mothers arms and kissed
before the cry developed and that he
was given two plates Of dessert for his
Sunday dinner, all because of his orig
inal theory. Washington Star.

Some letters from the fair sex caused
Sir Walter Scott at least as much amuse-
ment as annoyance. In his earlier years
"a mad woman from about Alnwick, )"
by dint of letters and plans, first ex-
tracted from him guinea for a charity,
then sent him the manuscript of a curl
Gus novel, which he was to publish in
his oyTa NAME and of which he was to
take half the profits Finally, on his de-
clining the partnership, she suggested he
should take shares in medicine for
babies her own invention. Dread Of
participation in "such Herodlike
affair." drove Scott to decline the honor
of future correspondence with the lady.
On a March day in his fatal year,
1926, Sir Walter answered two modest
requests from widow ladies. One of
these, presuming on former slight &C
quaintance with his mother, desired
that he should impress on Peel, then
home secretary, the merits Of her second
son, whom he was to represent as ''tit
for any situation in a public office. "
The second lady, who had already pc
rused "Marlnion" and 1.-The Lady of
the Lake, " engaged, in return for suit
able provision for her sons education,
to read all her benefactor's other works.
After dealing with these letters, Scott
felt himself constrained to record his
conviction that ''your destitute widow,
especially if she hath charge of chill
dren and one or two fit for patronage, is
one of the most impudent animals liv-
ing. Temple Bar.
