In the front it is ornamented with a
full plastron of lace, reaching to the
floor, and edged on either side with

tons, the upper and lower. The lower
section in the center has a compart-

serves as the bookcase, the two sides
forming alcoves in which mirrors are
set. In the center of the upper section
a glass door is attached, thus forming

A corporal in the northwest mounted

gives some interesting details as to
Klondike and life at the mines. After
describing the difficulties Of reaching
the gold fields he says: This is, bar
none, the richest gold camp in the
world. Men wash out thousands of dol
lars a day; 5000 and $500 pan is
nothing. Wages are SIS a day and

here. We get paid in gold dust and
nuggets, which we carry in little
leather sacks When you pay a bill
you hand over your sack; they
weigh out what they want and hand

GOOD FOR THE COW

The other day a bicycle rider found
the suburbs of Worcester. A farm
wagon appeared, with a COW trailing
behind, patiently submitting herself
to be led by rope from the front
seat. The bicycle idiot rode up to the
cow and began a series of tactics to
annoy her. He punched her in the ribs,
yelled in her ears and lodged around
her legs. Occasionally he fell back
and, taking hold of her tail, attempted
to make her tow his bicycle. The COW
objected and kicked viciously. This
only amused the rider, and he d.
rected his attention to an annoyance
that would induce her to continue
kicking, meanwhile keeping out of
reach Of her heels Finally the animal
stopped kicking and appeared to be-
come Indifferent. Some spectators on
a passing street car observed, how
ever, that she had turned her head so
as to keep an eye ON her prosecutor.
1t took her few minutes to get the
range, and meanwhile the bicycle idiot
grew bold and reckless, encouraged by
her quiet behavior Suddenly the
animal darted short and let both heels
fly. Her aim was sure this time, and
the bicycle went out from under the
idiots feet. The street car specta-
tors raised shout, the motorman
rang a chime with his gong and the
farmer and his boy whipped UP the
horse. The impressive COW only wag-
gled her ears and gave an imaginary
fly on her side a triumphant STAY with
her tail. The wheel was so twisted
that the rider had to walk home as
helplessly as the COW was being led.
He will not sue the owner of the COW.
