Poor old girl-getting old.
Is that why love her7 well-ouii
Now, the Pells helped me out Of the plight
With q girl who was "there for the night"
Some cousin, i thought,
Whose dot was a naught-
Some cousin or niece

consented with thoughts impolite.
You'll excuse me Just here u I swear
That girl had most glorious hair,
And eyes OF true blue,
And hor foot In shoe
No sprite e'er attempted to wear.
But beauty was not In my line.
Twas gold that wanted, in fine,
And / acted tho bear
As far as man dare
When his partner Is poor

With that rose tinted beauty OF mine.
And not till this moment, from you,
Fave learned what would make a saint

That I danced that cotillon
with a girl worth million
And thought that she hadn't a sou.

Spring exhibitions of art are
held the world over-why not
silver, glassware or crockery?
The advantage in most presents
is in the fact that they answer
for any season in the year. A
Christmas present of cut glass
would do as well for a birth
day in July. Our goods are
seasonable.
Dorhinger's cut glass, the
best in the world, because the
cuttings are perfect and the de-
signs unique. Best for the pur-
chaser because the price is low.
Best for the home because it
is useful and decorative.
Our silverware is the same
sort you buy of exclusive
dealers in silverware. The
weight is the same, the designs
are the. most modern and ele-
giant, and the price is the same
as you pay to the dealer in San
Francisco. Ours is made by
the Whiting Manufacturing
Company, and has no superior.
The pieces include everything
to be found in a silversmith's.
In crockery this is the help
fullest of stores. Make the most
of it Its every day selling is a
series of agreeable surprises to
China lovers. Genuine French
China, Royal Worcester
Crown Derby and Coal Por,
go to you for what they are
worth-nothlng better for wed.

A VOICE FROM THE BLEACHERs

A VOICE FROM THE BLEACHERS.
Local interest in the cricket games
as reflected from the "bleachers" is in
creasing. During Saturdays games
the "bleachers" were particularly vo-
ciferous and kept the players under a
running fire of good natured banter.
One small boy brought down the
crowd by advising the batsman to Ego
buy case of Rainier Beer and get
some life in YOU" The crowd applaud
ed the remark, knowing that Rainier
Beer is celebrated for its invirorating
and strengthening propensities.

tainly is the height of folly for any
man, or small party of men, to think
of going into the Klondike region.
The labor and knowledge necessary to
secure supplies, transportation, and to
successfully operate in that far-away
and frozen region, is not generally
possessed by all who would like to
have a part in this golden wealth.
Mr.. jeffrey will undertake to 60
over the Chilkoot Pass during the
month of January, feat which but
few would care to undertake at that
season of the year. During his stay
in Alaska he will visit Sitka, Juneau,
Dyca and Skagway, and will be able to
determine in advance just what will
be best to be done in order to have the
expedition of the syndicate get into
the gold fields at the earliest possible
day, and in the best possible condition.

The gold excitement in California
dated from the accidental discovery
made by man who was putting in a
mill. The excitement over the Klon-
dixie from the time when the steamer
Excelsior - happy name - arrived at
San Francisco with 40 miners, every
man with a fortune of his own won in
the Alaska gold fields. From that ar
rival up to the present time the ex-
element has been growing, simply be-
cause the output of gold has gone on
increasing. Up to this time over
1000, 900 of gold has been taken from
there, and it is estimated that this
sum will be multiplied by ten, if it is
to represent the output of next season,
and it should be remembered that the
millions already taken out have been
btained by the use of the crudest

This well organized Maine syndicate
is not likely to stop with the sending
out of a single party, although those
who go first will, of course, have the
best chance. Those who make up the
board of directors are wide-awake bus
mess men, and a weekly report will be
sent from headquarters on the Yukon
to the management at Portland, Me,
AS rapidly as new lines can be
opened up there, supplies will be sent
from Maine, and there is more than a
reasonable possibility that there will
be large and growing trade for years
to come between Maine and the gold
fields of the Klondike.
