How General Wheeler Unmasked.
At the battle of New Hope Church
between Atlanta and Chckamauga,
General Wheeler sent Major William H.
Ross, who was on his staff, to ascer-
tain from General Wheeler what was
in his front.
He found the General on his horse
with one leg over the pommel of his
saddle. Saluting him, Major Ross said:
General Walker wants to make a
charge at this point and would like to
know if the enemy has a masked bat
terry in front of u.s."
II don't know. Major General
Wheeler replied, "but I can soon find
out and swinging into position in his
saddle, he galloped up to an eminence,
accompanied by Major Ross and his
staff, and planted a guidon. A moment
later a puff of smoke in the distance
and the sputtering of a shell as it flew
over them showed what was ahead.
Turning to Major Ross, the General
said: Give General Walker my COM
pliments and say there is masked bat
terry in front of u.s.
Major Ross remarked that it was a
rather risky way Of unmasking a bat
terry.
The first shots always fly high" was
the cool reply, Its the shots that fol-
low that are dangerous"

S~ ooiih ih1cr'leW Witn A. r. Smith, who returned from the Yukon country on Wednesday. Farley Smith, as he is called. is an old resident of Arizona. and for the benefit of the Flagstaffites who have the Klondike fever We clip the following from the interview:
 Tt will be remembered. he said. that myself and Don Coots left this city July 20 last. After the usual pre- liminaries in quitting and other mat ters We arrived in Dawson City on Octo- Der ,. We travelled over the Chilkoot pass to Lake Bennett. forty miles dis tant. and from there to Dawson by lake and river routes, 600 miles, The trip was a hard one and consumed thirty seven days, during which time We were exposed to the elements and the tor lures of treacherous streams Our merchandise was packed to Lake Ben nett by men. horses and bulls. and later the bulls were killed and their meat sold for 40 cents pound.
 ''Concerning Dawson. and the impor- tint figure it cuts in this excitement. I will say that it is a city of about 3.OOo people, its population, however, being of that floating nature incidental to mining stampades. 1t is situated on the Yukon and is divided by the Klon- dike river-one portion being known as Louse town and the other as Dawson. Dawson City is built of log houses with glass windows, the place having the comforts usually seen in any coast min ing center.
 Tt is simply suicidal and absolute folly for any person of limited capital to venture there. The same will apply to those, unless vigorous and perfect There is no charity for either class, and the death rate and suffering will corroborate this.

 Leaving Dawson in the latter part of November Mir. Smith met many who were en route back. and in addition there were likewise many who desired to leave Dawson, but were persuaded not to venture on the trip. All of Mr. Smiths party were more or less frozen: one person losing both feet. A great danger lies in being lost. The country is a rolling one from Dawson to Chil- koOt. All restaurants in Dawson are shut up and food is dished out in parcels of limited supply, notwithstanding re- ports to the contrary. MT. Smith be- lieved there would be suffering in consequence, and disease would follow accordingly. Under Canadian mining laws locator was allowed but one claim of 300 feet, and when he released it his right expired. In addition he must be on the ground personally and perform work. The cost of procuring wood to thaw oV the placer ground will run as high as S25 per cord, which, with tools and other incidental expenses in secur- ing and working ground, makes the undertaking an extremely hazardous one to the man of limited means.
 The thermometer went down to 12 below zero in November. and, as Mr. Smith says, "you would freeze without knowing it

Woman In ireland Who Changes
Color Every Year.

Color Every ear.
A remarkable freak of nature is oc-
casionally seen on the streets of Clough-
Mac-Nai, ireland, in the shape of a
woman VINO was born black III Jamaica
about 45 years ago. The woman, ac-
cording to the Cincinnati Enquirer,
says that she remained with the char
acteristic negro color to her skin until
she was % years of age when she began
rapidly turning white, the complete
transformation being made in less than
three months.
She remained white for about year,
and then turned black again, but more
slowly than the white transformation
had come upon her When this second
change in skin color took place she was
sure that she had returned TO her orig
iual color, and would remain that hue
during the balance of her life, but it
was only a few short months until she
was again as white as an Albino. Since
that time the changes have yearly
taken place. the woman being black
one summer and white the next. She
suffers no pain whatever.
