Took on His Hat to Dummy in the
Lift

Lift.
1t was on the fourth floor of a depart
men store, says the Chicago Record. The
elevator door opened and three statesmen
entered, each holding in affectionate clasp
a beautifully attired dummy-a shapely
thing made of wire and attired in the
SWEETEST gowns and the fullest laces of
the establishment.
The statesmen steadied their dummy COM
panions The elevator stopped at the third
floor.
A young man, whose gaze was modestly
directed toward the floor, stepped aboard
and removed his hat. Even in depart
ment store it is eminently proper to re-
move the hat when riding in an elevator
with women. So the young man removed
his hat ana continued to look downward,
seeing only the skirts of his fair fellow
passengers, for it is counted exceedingly
rude for man to stare at a woman in an
elevator
The statesmen began to smoker. This
embarrassed the young man, for he had
no reason to belive that they were laugh
ing at him. He bushed and shifted I'M
easily, but he did not look up.
Then one salesman laughed aloud. The
young man lifted his head in order to re-
prove the vulgar person with a look, and
then he said: We'll, I'll be-"
The women HAD no heads.
The statesmen exploded, and the young
man put his hat back on his head.

Several days ago a number of newspa-
pers published stories to the effect that
Eli Gage, son of the Secretary of the
Treasury, had been cowhided, or horse
whipped, at Dawson City, because the
transportation and trading company with
which he is connected had imported too
much whisky and too little provisions.
Whether there is or not any truth in the
story of the summary punishment of Mr..
Gage for the act of his company, there is
no doubt of the truth that there is a wo-
full lack of something to eat at Dawson,
and an equally woeful p.entitude of some
thing to drink there. Returning miners all
speak of the great amount of whisky and
the small amount of provisions being TAX
en- to the central supply point of the Klon-
dixie According TO late advices, just
about the entire stock of eatables at Daw-
son had been sold out, and there was small
probability of the stores being replenish-
ed this winter. But the supply of whisky
was unlimited.
The Post-Intelligencer of Seattle, from
which port a greater proportion of the
Klondike shipments are being made, says
that "a very large share of the freights of
the steamboats, which have gone up the
Yukon has been wines and liquors." and
a correspondent of the San Francisco Ex-
aminer writes to his paper that half of
the cargo" of the ship from whose cabin
he wrote was made up of whisky" Gov
eminent officials a short while ago con-
iscated a whole boat load of whisky in
Alaskan waters, but that has put no
check upon the trade.
It seems to be the idea of the trading
companies that those persons who will go
to the Klondike will be of a rough and
reckless class, who will demand whisky in
abundance, drink almost unlimited guam
titles of it and pay for it whatever prices
the owners may see fit to charge. They
calculate that there will be more profit in
whisky than in bread and meat, and that
drunken miners will prove better custom
ers of the stores than sober ones Some
of the transportation companies, it is said
will not take more than 100 or 200 pounds
of baggage TO the passenger, reserving the
balance of the freight room of their ships
for themselves; and in the greater part OF
this reserved freight space. they store
away whisky. The probabilities of star
walton in the Yukon country are said to
be so imminent that the government is
seriously considering a relief expedition.
The transportation companies have found
it impossible to get into the section pro-
visions enough TO prevent starvation, yet
they have found no difficulty in sending
through a superabundance of whisky!

Who will sing a song for tho dead,
For the countless common throng
That the ashes of earth have buried
And left without a song?
Who will sing for the voiceless tribes
Or the north, east, south, and west,
That have had their years of toll and
tears
And have earned their silent rest?
It's not for the hearts that now beat high,
Or the lips that are rich with jest
To mar the day and its revelry
With a death song at the feast
IT'S not for the bird that sings all day
To his mate on the Towering limb
The skies are clear and the nest is near,
And what is death TO him?
IT'S not for the flower whose petals sway
In the gov of the yellow sun;
Beauty, and life, and a fair to-day,
And its simple song is done.
With noiseless march the years go by
And the hearts that thrilled and beat
Become the spoil Of the earth worms toll
And dust beneath our feet.
And day by day as we fight our way
Ger the tomb of a mighty past,
No dirge breaks in on the roaring din
OF the life tide flowing fast.
Then who viii sing a song for the dead,
For the countless common throng
That have had their years of toll and
tears,
But have not earned song?
All, Self is the god that rules us all,
And the doom of the dead is naught;
We are kings to-day; let others sway
In our stead when we are not.

The Ripley county Indiana. authorities
are moving very slowly in the matter of
that quiniuple lynching at Versailles. The
grand jury was in session last week. and
adjourned without day on Thursday
evening, yet it has not been published
whether or not the grand jury found an
indictment against the lynchers. On the
other hand, it is suspected that no bill
was found. and the governor has taken
steps to have the grand jury reassembled
if that is the case. The governors eff
forts are commendable, but they do not
seem to have accomplished a great deal
as yet.

The Hawaiian annexationsts are
spreading some of the widest and most
nonsensical stories imaginable. in the
hope of working up American public SEN
timent against Japan and in favor OF
their annexation scheme. One Of the lat
est and most fiimsy Of these stories is to
the effect that the mikado may sieze and
hold one Of the Pacific Mail steamships
to secure the Japanese governments
claim against Hawaii. Ii is safe to say
there is not word of truth in the story

Joaquin Miller says he is taking miners
fare and miners luck on his trip to the
Klondike.~sxticH he is describing for a
newspaper. But the tone and coloring Of
his descriptions do not bear out mis- words.
He writes TOO smoothly too glowingly,
too hopefully. There Is the warmth of
the grateful radiator and the aroma Of
pungent and spiced concoctions about his
letters. Not even a poet-the aged Poet
of the Sierras-could wade about in mud
and slush for the greater part of the
time and come face to face with miners
nearing starvation and death, and write
such rainbow letters as are those which
are coming back from the Yukon country
with his name signed TO them. The truth
probably is that the old man sits in a
warm corner AMI dreams, and puts his
dreams upon paper for the edihcation Of
those who desire real, hard facts about
the country.
