On the klOndike.

This is the popular cry everywhel
and with every one, owing to the fab
ulous stories of the gold to be found
in the Alaskan regions. But the ways
are perilous and death awaits the man
who seeks for treasure. In the present
condition of times, with crops bringing
the prices they now do, there are klon-
bikes everywhere, and some of them
are to be found along the line of the
Saint Paul & Duluth Railroad, or Duluth
Short Line. There are no glaciers, no
dangerous snow drifts, no death-laden
passes, but a good climate, rich soil,
prosperous towns and happy people.
This line is the favorite to and between

WHAT FAMINE MEANS

overcrowded ships for passages lasting
a month or more and many died at sea
Unofficial reports states that of 493 pas
sengers on the Erins Queen, 1856 died:
of 1852 on the Avon GAG died; of t7G on
the Virginius 2G7 died. An unnamed
vessel is said to have sailed from Con-
naught with 600 refugees. Of whom only
100 survived. Adding those who died
at sea or in their new homes as the
direct result of famine to the 1,0o9,552.
ORo,lrke the historian Of the great
Irish famine, has estimated that ,2l0,-
600 fell victims to the potato blight Of
1915 and 1916.
OF the emigrants some went to Can
ada, but far the greater share came to
the United States and helped to build
up our country. They were poor and
destitute at first, but the country was
Il land Of promise to them, and many
of them have since earned wealth fer
their old age and for their children.
They brought one popularity with
them-a liking for potatoes boiled with
a "bone in the middle" only about half
cooked, SO as to delay the process OF
digestion. That was a taste they soon
dropped in this country.
This was what happened before when
the potato crop in Ireland gave out.
So great calamity could not now
happen But Ireland is still as depend
ent on the potato as in old times, and ii
the crop is ruined by blight, as in 1876,

NEWS FROM IRELAND.
A Lay,,Sermon.

A lay Sermon.
Brother, do you loYe your brother?
Brother, are you. all you seem?
Do you live for more than living?
Has your life a law, scheme?
Are YOU prompt to bear it's duties,
AS brave man may beseem?
Brother, shun the mist exhaling
From the fen Of pride and doubt,
Neither seek the house of bondage
Walling straiten'd souls about;
Bats who form their narrow spy-hole.
Cannot see world without
Anchor in no stagnant shallow
Trust the wide and wondrous sea.
Where the tides are fresh forever.
And the mighty currents free:
There perchance, o! young Columbus,
Your New World of truth may be.
Favor will not make deserving
(Can the sunshine brighten clay?)
Slowly must it grow to blossom.
Fed by labor and delay,
And the fairest bud of promise
Bears the faint of quick decay.
You must strive for better guerdons;
Strive to be the thing you'd seem;
Be the thing that God hath made you,
Channel for no borrowed stream;
He hath lent you mind and conscience;
See you travel in their beam!
See you scale life's misty highlands
By the light of living truth!
And with bosom braced for labor,
Breast them in your manly youth;
So when age and care have found you,
Shall your downward path be smooth.
Fear not. on thai rugged highway.
Life may want it's lawful zest;
Sunny glens are in the mountain,
Where the weary feet may rest,
Cool'd in streams that gush forever
From loving mothers breast.
Simple heart and simple pleasures"
So they write life's golden rule;
Honor wen by supple baseness,
State that crowns a canker'd fool,
Clean as CLEAN the gold and purple
On a hot and rancid pool
Wear no show OF Wit or science,
But the gems you've won. and welgh'd
Thefts. like ivy on ruin
Make the riffs they seem to shade;
Are you not thief7an beggar
In the rarest gppoiis array'd?
Shadows deck a slnny landscape.
Making brighter al the bright
So my brother!. care and danger
On a loving nature light,
Bringing all its lat nt beauties
Out upon the common sight.
Love the things that God created.
| Make your brothers need your care:
Scorn and hate repel Gods blessings.
| But where love is. they are there;
AS the moonbeams light the waters,
Leaving rock and sand-bank bare.
| Thus, my brother, grow and flourish,
Fearing none and loving all;
For the true man needs no patron,
! He shall climb and never crawl;
| Two things fashion their own channel
| The strong man and the waterfall.

PLEAD NOT GUILTY.
Martin Thorn and Mrs. Mack
Arraigned In Court.
THE TRIAL NAY COMMENCE OCT. is.
IL Seems Possible, However, That There
WIN BE No Proceedings Until After
the Contest For the Greater
New York AIayoralty.

LONG ISLAND CITY. n. Y, oct. g.
Martin Thorn and Mrs Mack, accused
Of the murder of William Guldensuppe
at Woodside, n Y. pleaded not guilty
yesterday afternoon before Justice
Smith of the supreme court, in the
county courthouse here.
William L. Howe and Joseph F. Moss
Of the firm of Howe & Hummel and Z.

man were present.
Thorn was the first Of the prisoners
to be brought into court. He had hand
cuffs on his wrists. He wore a black
coat and waistcoat and gray striped
trousers and a light silk four In hand
necktie. He was clean shaven and wore
that peculiar smile which seems to be
A Characteristic Of him whenever he ap-
pears in court.
1t is not a smile Of merriment, nor is
It n grim smile. 1t is rather a mechan-
lcal smile.
Mrs. Mack was brought into court
about 10 minutes after Thorn. She wore
black dress. with a quantity of lace
about the shoulders and green trim
ming about the waist. Her black hat
was trimmed with 81 zen and rhinestone
stone earrings.
She carried in her hand a black satin
bag and a hemstit, he'd handkerchief.
She wore an air of expectancy, but did
not seem anxious.
Absolutely no sign of recognition
passed between her and Thorn.

circumstances in this case"
Mrs. Macs said that Mr. Friend was
her counsel. Then both in firm voices
pleaded 50 OF guilty"
The dis srict attorney asked that the
trial Of Thorn be set for oct 49, Mr.
Friend said he would be ready. and
asked that the defendants be tried
separate. That was agreed TO.
Mr.. Howe then said he had no OBJ
lection to going TO trial on Oct Is, but
that the case would take considerable
time. and he would therefore request
the court to begin the trial each day at
| 10 O'Clock and continue until In the
afternoon instead of 6. as is the Gus
tom in Long Island City.
Under those circumstances" said
Mr. Howe, Il think we can finish the
trial in ten days"
Mr.. House suggested that it might be
a good idea to postpone the trials unit
after election. Justice Smith said h,
would take that into consideration. hu
would not give a decision at once
1t is possible that Mr.. Houses sug
gestion will be adopted and that Mar
tin Thcrn VIII not be tried until afte
| election.
After their pleading both defendant
were taken back to their cells in th'
county Jail.
