During the eight years that Mr.. Seward

in politics.
When shadows penetrated this home in

BY Marion Har,and.

No American woman has more readers
than Marion Harland, and her latest book is
her greatest. She travelled on the back of q
camel or on foot or on horseback throughout
the Holy Land and Syria. She followed the
very footsteps of Jesus, and from Bethlehem
through Galilee, to Jerusalem and the Jordan
and the lake where he first babe his Disci-
piles to follow him. She went down into
Egypt, to Damascus, and other famous places
renowned in sacred story. She saw the field
of BOaz, the plains of Sharon, Lebanon.
Carmel, and the Mount of Olives, where the
tragedy of the Cross was enacted.
All these places she has described in a
splendid volume of 446 pages, richly bound
and illustrated with the finest halftone pic
lures made from photographs taken especially
for this work. 1t is life picture of the
scenes of the sacred writings.
We will send this magnificent book, post
paid, to any one who will send us club of
only four annual subscribers at 81 each.
Positively, with the inducements that are
now offered to every subscriber, this club
can be raised in an hour.

In short, it looked very much like de-
sertion, and this we did not feel at liberty
to consider.
There were still many among US who,
feeling certain that they could not sur
vlve imprisonment much longer, were
disposed to look favorably upon the
Non Combatant's Oath, thinking that the
circumstances of the case would Justify
their apparent dereliction from duty.
Whether it would or not / must leave
to more skilled causists than myself to
decide. 1t was matter, believed, every
man must settle with his own conscience.

gold, there are three men on the vessel
who are admittedly the bonanza kings of
the aggregation. These are I. J. Allen,
Herman Schroeder and Frank Segrin, the
only men on the vessel who came out
from the Miller Creek district. The men
have been working together in partner
ship in claims on Miller Creek, and bring
out with them nice little cleanup,
amounting to $40, ,000 OF this Allen is the
owner of $35. 600, Schroeder has SIS, 900 and
Segrin $17, ,010 and the three men pooled
their fortunes on the down trip by putting
the dust in one lot and turning it over to
the care OF the purser of the steamer. The
money which these men bring back with
them represents their work and manage
ment in the mines during the past season.
Neither OF them sold his claim nor any
part of it, the money being actual dust
taken out of their partially developed
mines located on Miller Greek.
Inquiry develops that the dirt from the
surface is unusually rich along the creek,
wherever claims nave been staked. 1t is
said TO run from 10 cents up to the pan
and to be richly profitable from the time
the first shoveIful OF earth is turned up.
The result OF the work of the trio of
miners has already led to quite a small
rush to the Miller Creek district, and thus
far nothing but excellent reports have
been neard from there. The three part
ners are coming south to spend the winter
and will purchase com plete outfits during
their stay, which will be carried in at the
earliest opportunity in the spring. They
have little TO offer in the way OF news, but
express the utmost confidence in Miller
Creek district, claiming 1t to be as rich if
not richer than any other creek in the
famed north.
Tne first piece of information volun-
teered by NJ. Misamore when questioned
about the Klondike was that the Clarence
Berry claim had made another cleanup
of 112 pounds of gold, or about $23. 00o
Misamore is resident of Portland, ami is
returning from n season in the mines He
brings with him something like $4,000 in
dust, and when asked about his lucE. re-
piled: II haven't much with me, you un-
derstand, but l guess 1 will be able to eat
for @ few days"
Misamore was the only man on the
steamer who came from the newly found
diegings on the Munook Creek Since
early in the spring he has been drifting
about the mining districts, and it was
chiefly the threatened scarcity of food
which led him to come out at this time.
He expects to return to his claim early in
the spring.
Tine Munook was named after an old
Indian, who made the first strikes," said
Misamore. 81 have been working my
claim with the assistance of my son, and

Yukon 400 miles below Circle City. The
first discovery was made there August Is,
