why the Dog WAS Afraid.

The men of a certain regiment last
summer grumbled good deal about
the inferior food served out TO them,
particularly the meat. which was often
times decidedly tainted.
One day strange cur was proving
round the square as the battalion was
falling 10 for drill. and the colonel. on
coming on parade. noticed the animal.
Whose dog is that?" he inquired Of a
man on fatigue duty.
II dunno, sir"
Suddenly the eur took to its heelsand
bolted frantically out Of the square.

mal?" remarked the colonel. again.

rELEeRApHINe TO kLoNpIKE.


thirty xGaTn AkOs
When one considers the great primal
fact that Klondike is not in American
territory one can understand why GER
tain Anne ricans are doing their best to
discredit this mighty gold-bearing dis
trict in the eyes Of the world. But while
the discussion is going on the Canadian
government has lost no time in consid-
ering the project Of Geographic COM
munication with Klondike. This in
quiry brings out strange fact-etrange
in that everybody seems to have forgot
ten all about it-that there was once
telegraph line to Klondike and far be-
yond. Mr.. C. r. Hosmer. the indefati-
gable manager of the G. P. r. telegraph
system, does we'll to call II romance.
Long ago-in 1s63-64-there was no
cable between Europe and America.
Our transatlantic news-even during
the exciting episodes Of the civil war
was always about a fortnight OLD.
The attempt to make cable connection
had ended disastrously-and in this
junction of affairs was organized gil
gantic enterprise, looking to the con-
nection of the United States with Eu-
rope via Klondike and Behring sea!
Most electricians and Geographic ex-
perts had made up their minds that 40
miles-which was the distance across
the strait-represented the longest a
submarine cable could be successfully
worked.
A company was formed, and what
was known in those days as Russian
Extension stock went off at premium
Of 60 per cent. In 1868 the Line be-
tween New Westminster and the Yukon
river was surveyed. found to be prac-
ticable and traversed completely the
present Klondike region.
The line was expected TO be finished
In 1867. Even the tariff for messages
was fixed at SIS ($25) per message
The receipts were estimated to yield
about 100000 per annum. The line
was actually constructed from New
Westminster along the present route
of the Canadian Pacific railway TO Ash
croft. where II was continued north
toward Behring sea TO Fort Stager,
300 or 400 miles beyond Quesnelle. This
line is at this present moment In OPP
Grafton In portion Of the Cariboo coun-
try.
Then. in the midst OF the whole bust
ness. after three years of hard work.
came like a thunderclap the news that
the Atlantic cable was success. Three
million dollars had been expended; yet
the next day Russian Extension stock
was not worth the printers ink on its
surface.

a STIFF RAISE.
An American Gamblers Unconscious
BLUM I'm Persia.

A Denver gambler named Dougherty,
while in New York. where he found the
games too slow for him, heard that a
pretty stiff game of poker was played
in Persia. So to Persia Dougherty
sailed, and he was soon popular among
the young princes, even If he could not
talk Persian. They play poker some
what differently there from what we
do in this country. There is never any
money in sight. A man sits near the
table and records the bets, and q set
Element is made after the game is over.
The bookkeeper is also linguist, and
whenever foreigners play with these
princes, as in Dougherty's case, he tells
of the raises" One night Dougherty
had been trailing in on nearly every
hand, only to be beaten in the show
down" Finally he caught a pair OF
skies about the time one of the princes
caught four of kind. There had been
deal of "jollying" and "horse-play"
going on all the night. Dougherty. OF
course. could not understand the words
that were being spilled out around him
every second, but he never said any
thing or looked interested. He would
simply skin his cards. come in when
he wanted TO or lay down. just as the
notion struck him. When he picked up
his skies he looked the Persian in the
eve. and the Persian laughed. "Tru-le-
lu." said the Persian. "Guying me, l
reckon" said Dougherty, "but I'll give
you some of your own sort OF words:
"Tru-le-lum." "Tru-le-lili-lo." said the
Persian. Observation-Disclosures" re-
piled Dougherty; but before he could
get the words out of his mouth the
Young prince threw down his four of
kind, kicked the table over. fell for
ward on a sofa lying near and broke out
in a sob. "My God. mani" exclaimed
the interpreter. "you raised him 'leven
millions that time!"-San Francisco Ar
