THAT all is not gold that glitters,"
is impressed upon the Ledger reporter
by the fake played upon him few
days ago. A man calling himself T.
T. Riley told him a fairy tale" some
what like this: He had just returned
from Klondike; he had brought out
$S5,NO in dust and nuggets; that he
had experienced all the ordinary and
extraordinary hardships, besides pack.
ing out half a ton, in dust, supplies,
etc. The honest reporter swallowed
the story, rather than run the risk of
a scoop" and got scooped himself.

Their on their journey, owing to lack of
funds or provisions. Many of those
now in Dyea are physically unable to
make the trying trip, and there are
many cripples, who will suffer great
hardships before the winter is over.
Many of those who arrived on the
Willamette are absolutely without
shelter, seemingly having gone to that
cold region depending on the open
heartedness of Others to keep them
living. Many of the people who are
unable to reach Dawson this winter
have two tons of provisions and no
possible means OF transportation. One
man has over 3,OOO pounds, which he
is trying to pack over the White pass
in lots of rs pounds each, making
short trips. Thieves have been oper.
ating extensively, and many tents,
tools and much ammunition and
money have been stolen. Already a
vigilance committee is spoken of, and
unless the thefts cease, trouble will
follow. 1t was rumored ut Dyea that
a man had already suffered death by
hanging for theft, and another had
been banished from skaguay for charg.
ing 80 cents toll for crossing on tree
that he had felled across a creek on
the trail. Such summary methods are
effective, if they do not meet the tech
nicalities of law.

HER MODEL HUSBAND.
Levity Provoked by Her Reply to tn
Question of q Spinster.

Levity Provoked by Her Reply to the
Question of a Spinster.
1t was at wOman's luncheon, and
they had been exchanging opinions in
regard to the husband question, both as
a whole and with particulars By the
time ice cream was served the discus
sion had grown quite heated, and the
hostess was beginning to look anxious.
At the top of the table the woman in
the chiffon vest and her companion in
the trimmed gown were at daggers
drawn.
well, l don't care what any one
says, my husband is as good as they
make them, said the woman in the
chiffon vest excitedly. "He always
rocks me to sleep when 1 have sick
headache, and he gets breakfast when
the cook is away, and he always gets
up in the night if the baby cries" She
glared at the woman in the trimmed
gown triumphantly, and she in turn
glarCd back and took up the parable of
speech
''Well, my husband, " she remarked,
with Il strong accent upon the posscssive
case, never does any of those things |
should be sorry to see him do any of
them. | detest man who steps over
into his wife's province. But he always
looks after the furnace, and Incver have
to worry about the coal bill "
The woman in the chiffon vest smiled
disagreeably, and the hostess was about
to interpose when the pretty woman at
the foot of the table spoke up.

have mentioned she said sweetly,
land lot more When we have no
girl, he washes the dishes and sweeps,
and I've never had to get dinner once
since we've been married. | always

way because he said so little about it, |

With the smile of conscious con-
queror, she toyed with her mcnu card
and smiled swectly at the angry women
at the other end of the table. They were
speeches., but the woman in the gold
trimmed glasses who sat in the middle
gave her keen look and smiled too.
Something has got to be done for
the protection Of us poor spinsters, - she
said merrily, land if any one else tells
a husband story l shall rctaliate with

subject, let me ask question. How

The pretty woman blushed wildly.
''Nearly two weeks" she stammcred
out timidly. And the other women
laughed in the unfeeling manner they

IF ONLY THE DREAM ABIDE.

At the forward sweep of the sun,

Nay-I wouiE not be shorn
OF gold from the mines Of morn.

Of the moon that tho midnight fills.

On loves uplifted face
And the slow, sweet joy dawn there
Under the dusk of her hair.

Over songless solitudes.

Their Desert Guests.
r. Talbot Kelly, an English artist
who has lived long among the Arabs,
writes and illustrates paper entitled
"1n the Desert With the Bedouin, 3"
which appears i'll The Century. In dis
cussing Arabian hospitality, Mr. Kelly
says: | had not much time for quiet OBJ
servation, us one by one all the head
men of the tribe called to pay their re-
spects to the stranger within their
gates" Taking off his shoes at the en-
trance, each one advanced with many
salaams and, kissing my hand, uttered
the single word, 'Mahubbah" C'Wcl-
Gomez. They then seated themselves in
Il long row at the other side of the tent,
discussing me in undertones. No one
spoke to me unaddressed, and even the
sheik himself, whose guest was, would
not sit N the carpet beside me unlimited.
Literally, while the guest IF the Bedouin,

your willing servants, and, though ]
have repeatedly paid comparatively long
visits to them, have never yet succeed

remember asking the sheik Saoui el
Tahoui, chief of the Hanaardi Arabs, if
he knew any of the pyramid Arabs at
GiHoh. He replied, splitting upon the
ground, 'They are not Bedouins; they
take backsheesh, " thereby expressing his
contempt for mercenary service. On an
other occasion, while living with the
Nephaarta, the sheik Mansour Abu
Nasrullah had attached to me young
Arab whose special duty it was to at
tend to my various wants while paint
ing AT the end of the month I tried to
induce him to accept sovereign as
backsheesh. Looking much alarmed,
he exclaimed: "Oh, my master, l can
not! 1t is not allowed The sheik would
kill me if he knew had accepted a
gift" And all my arguments failed to
persuade him to take the tip.
