Her Financiering.

"Just my luck" said the pretty little
wife with swapping black eyes az She
finished letter just received. But
Henry knows everything, just like
other husbands. Instead Of saving and
denying ourselves to pay bills, we might
have all the money we wanted. If there
be anything under the sun more ag-
discover it,"
CHATS Il nice way for a young wife
to be talking" said her mother, who
generally takes sides with her daughter
in everything. "Very few women have
as good q husband as you have, and
you should be ashamed of yourself for
talking that way. What's Henry been
doing now?'
Exercising his superior Judgment,
that's all. A month ago l had Il little
money saved up and l told him to buy
wheat. l knew it would go up, and
there was a chance to make thousands.
But no, he doesn't believe in speculat-
ing. Slow and sure is his motto. Did
you ever hear such nonsense? We had
perfect right to buy when wheat was
low and sell when it had advanced.
/ don't believe in running away from
fortune when it's coming right at you.
I'm going down this very afternoon and
have Slicller buy for every cent we
have in the bank. l guess Henry will
forgive me when he finds thousands
instead of tens. Slickers broker, and
he says there's plenty Of money in
wheat yet"
Il wouldn't, dear"
"Oh, Of course, not. Caution will
starve some people yet. But l will. u
And she did. Wheat took a slump
There isn't a cent in the bank. The
little wife is down with nervous pros
tration. Henry is half crazy over her
condition, and the good mother is drum
ming her relatives in the East for
money enough to make that account
good.-Detroit Free Press.

a WORD or ADVICE
TO Those Coming TO Alaska or the
kiondike Gold Fields.

One thing should be impressed upon
every miner, prospector or trader COM
Ing to Alaska, to the Klondike, or the
Yukon country, and that is the neces-
sity for providing an adequate and
proper food sUrpis. Whether procured
In the States, In the Dominion, or at
the supply stores here or further ON,
this must be his primary concern. Upon
the manner in which the miner has OBJ
served or neglected this precaution
more than upon any other one thing
will his success or failure depend.
These supplies must be healthful and
should be concentrated. but the most
careful attention In the selection Of
foods that will keep unimpaired indie
o 'itely under all the conditions which
.ney will have TO encounter Is impera-
tive. For instance, as bread raised
with baking powder must be relied up
ON for the chief part of every meal, I'M
aglne the helplessness of a miner with
can of spoiled baking powder. Buy
only the very best -four; it is the cheap
est IN the end. Experience has shown
the Royal Baking Powder to be the
most reliable and the trading compan-
les now uniformly supply this brand,
as others viii not keep in this climate
Be sure that the bacon is sweet, sound
and thoroughly cured. These are the
absolute necessities upon which all
must place chief reliance, and can
under no circumstances be neglected
They may, of course, be supplemented
by as many comforts or delicacies as
the prospector may be able TO pack or
tesire to pay for.-From the Alaska
Mining Journal.

Cautious Praise.

Mr.. Orchardson, the famous English
artist, has lately given the public an
insight into his experiences with golf
that mysterious game, so fascinating to
the initiated. of which the charm is so
incomprehensible to the outsider.
1t is but recently that Mr.. Orchard
son, who is past middle life although
in the prime Of healthful vigor, has
transferred his affections from hunting
and tennis, his former favorite sports,
to the national game Of his country
for he is Scotchman. He played his
first game of golf at St. Andrews.
Il remember" he says, II had the
queerest, most solemn looking caddie
imaginable. I made fearful mess of it
at first, and the little chap looked on
without word. At last, when had
finished the round, he looked up at me
in the funniest way and simply said,
It's nae use playin golf unless ye lairn
it as a laddie.'
"But must tell you that the next
day had this same caddie, and got on
much better. l was almost annoyed
with him for not praising me, for he
was as silent as on the day before. But
when we finished, he turned to me and

therefore satisfied with what he doubt

For wisdom or for wit from you

friend William Jones.

Blanco Watson shook his head.
"Bill was Bill no longer" he said.
"He had become a man of wealth. At
the next election of deacons he was one
of Unsuccessful candidates. In future
we must refer to him as Mr. Jones and
not as Bill.
"Mr. Jones was a most energetic
deacon 10 introduced new members
and he persuaded old ones to attend
more regularly. He started young
Saturday entertainments, He made the
chapel the most popular in the district,
and then, at a New Years business
meeting he struck boldly for the jewels.
"The chapel was too small, he said
in the course of an eloquent speech.
They must erect another on a larger
site. There was but one such site i'll the
neighborhood. They must secure it be-
fore others did. He himself would un
ing only what they cost him. He would
also purchase the old chapel The net
expenditure need not be very great.
"The proposal was well received, and
a committee, With Mr.. Jones as chair
man, was appointed to consider the de-
tails. Their report was very favorable,
and at another business meeting it was
decided to carry out the proposal

with Mr. Jones. IN the spring of that
year the building operations were COM
menced and by the autumn they were
finished. The congregation removed to
the new chapel. Mr.. Jones purchased
the old one at high price and entered
into possession.
"And then," said, IT suppose he
got the jewels:?"
Blanco Watson laughed.
"No, ;" he said, che did not He broke
up the floor himself, counted the steps
due north from the tree again ard dug.
He did not find the jewels. He counted
the steps again and dug deeper. He did
not find them. Then he tried other
places; but, although he kept on until
he had tried everywhere beneath the
floor, he never found the jewels. :"
"Why, what had become Of them?"
81 cannot say. 1t is possible that
when the foundation was being laid a
workman had discovered and appropri-
ated them. Again it is possible that
there were two trees of similarly curious
growth, and that the one outside the
chapel was not the one Mr.. Jones first
saw. Again
"And what has the story to do with
the public house? But can guess.
''Of course you can. Mr.. Jones was
very angry with the chapel members.
He considered that by false pretenses
they had led him into buying the old
chapel dearly and building the new one
cheaply. He resigned his deaconship
and then sought way to be revenged
on them. He found one. On the site Of
the old chapel he built a public house
