With heart full Of hope and shouting,
''Yo-ho for Klondikei'
Over the mountains, beyond the plains,
Where the great river winds to the sea,
Many n pioneer jinglcs his gains
And sings in n frenzied ecstasy
In Klondixei
Thousands and thousands OF miles away,
In the land Of the polar bear.
Many a man Is digging today,
Only TO find that there's nothing there

A CHANCE FOR ROCKEFELLER.


II Mr.. Rockefeller ever had 1t in his
mind to send big check to the treasurer
of Brown University, as has been inti-
mated, now Is the time for him to do 1t,
coupled with the condition that President
Andrews be retained at the head of the
college.
1t is a great opportunity for the Sugar
Trust magnate to come before the country
as champion Of free speech, and 1t would
be very encouraging thing II he were to
avail himself OF 1t. The recent incident of
the resignation OF Professor Bemis Of
Chicago University has caused some criti-
cal remarks on that point, and here is a
chance for Mr.. Rockefeller to confound his
critics.
But, apart from personal considerations,
here is an opportunity for very rich man
to uphold the great American principle Of
free speech in a manner that shall be a
lesson to all the country. The governing
body Of Brown University has declared,
In effect, that free speech is not to be
tolerated when It tends to divert gifts OF
money from the treasury OF the institu-
tion which they have in charge. II Mr..
Rockefeller were to make his gift on con-
-dItion that free speech shall be not only

PRESIDENT FREES HIM.
Mail Robber Served With Him During the
War.

Mail Robber Served With Him During the
President Mckinley received letter
from Robert Allen, an old soldier who
fought at his side during the war, ap-
pealing for pardon. Allen was in Jail
out west for robbing the mails. The
president promptly wrote ordering
Aliens release.
Young William Mckinley and young
Robert Allen were comrades in the CIV
il war and fought side by side for the
preservation Of the Union.
But just after Mckinley was elected
to the highest Office in the United States
his old companion in arms, Allen, was
sent to Jail for robbing the mails.
His offense was very serious one.
He robbed the United States mail at
Pierce City, No., and dubbed the man
in charge Of it.
He was sentenced to five years. i'm
prisonment and sent to Jail at Jefferson
City, Mo. As soon as he arrived there
he wrote to President Mckinley asking
for a pardon in the name Of their old
companionship.
Allen addressed the president as
"my dear old comrade." He recalled
the battles in which they had fought
together, mentioning scenes that will
be impressed on President McKinley's
mind while he lives
The president considered the letter
and it troubled him. He had the high
est office in the land, and slight use
of his great power would suffice to save
an old comrade from imprisonment and
disgrace. Allen bad 40 moral or legal
right to q pardon, but are sentiment
and old mpanionship to count for
nothing? That they count for much was
the view of the major, and Allen was
pardoned.
When he received it recently, he re-
marked that it was only what he ex-
pected from an old comrade.-Ex-

The tariff law Is credited with having
already impaired a wonderful stimulus
to trade and industry at New Haven. The
fact that uncertainty has been done away
with by the passage of the bill has Of
course made for better feeling, but there
is danger that enthusiasts will attribute
to the tariff greater influence for good at
this stage than its real merits warrant.

Action has been taken by the police of
Hartford to 'sabate as nuisance" the Sal

resulting from drum beating and collect

crowded thoroughfares. The Army should
bear in mind that it is the bullet, not the
noise, which kills the enemy.

The fool who rocks row boat, for the

that there is no danger-is not SO much in

make up for the fatalities which are thus
averted, the list of drowning accidents is

There is very little doubt but what the

A few days since two carriages were
proceeding along one of the narrow single
track roads running through Plymouth
woods. Suddenly, on turning a.corner, the
driver of the first team discovered We
hicle approaching in the opposite direc-
tion. "We're two teams, and you'll have
to turn out" he shouted to the approach
ing stranger. Thereupon the latter
jumped out, and by good deal Of pushing
and coaxing backed his horse and vehicle
into the woods. AS the occupants of the
two wagons drove by they were surprised
to find that the one who in this way had
Accommodated them was Grover Cleveland.

all the remarkable when
