pounds of supplies from the ocean to the

When I wrote last summer:
''H you've got heart as tough as oak.
Fear neither the blizzard nor the hot sun stroke.
Can haul q load like a beast in q yoke,
You've nothing to fear at Klondyke.'
I depicted one place of the journey bet
ter than I can ever describe it if l travel
the road dozen times. True, 1 hayen't
yet seen any cases of sunstroke but l
have had the sun burn the skin Of my
face while roping it up Porcupine hill
and the Chilcoot Pass, with from five to
fifty feet of snow under our feet, and the
temperature so low that we had to keep
our ears muffled. And hundreds of
times, as I dragged what was a fair
load on a good snow road, over roads
where third the quantity was more
than a mans shoulders were made to
haul the third line of that stanza has
come unbidden to mind. VI
And I've heard big, strong men tell.
how sometime late at night, worn out,
but still far from camp, they have laid
face upward over their loads and look
ing at the silent stars caught them
selves thinking how pleasant it would
Be to be dead.
For my part I can sympathize with
both the OK and the pack mule, fo- l
have done the work Of both; have worn
both the yoke and the pack saddle. T.:
Our party was unfortunate in that we
took to the trail just when the roads
were breaking up, so that from Dyea,
which we loft about March o, until we
reached Lake Lindeman about the mid
die of May it was constant race with
the weather. Gravel hauls were con-
stantly becoming longer and more fre-
quent; bridges made Of two logs with
small cross strips laid every Is or IS
inches) and fords, where our goods had
to be packed across on shoulders, were
rapidly taking the place Of what there
tofore had been good snow roads or
solid ice. There was nothing to do,
therefore. but to keep agoing, regardless

POLITICS


The irrepressible push Of the Republican
fold are sizzling, curb-stone politics is
booming, and the fun is on for gore. Wal
ter F. x. Parker is trying to duplicate his
performances as a wire-puler and slate
maker so openly exhibited at Sacramento.
He and his henchmen are programme
every precinct in the oity and county in the
interest OF the courthouse, or Lindley
push. 1t has leaked out that this push, or
combination Of pushes, has made up slate
upon which every available office holder in
the court house will have a place, and
that all plans are perfected to capture the
caucuses and primaries in the interest OF
this slate
Parker Is one Of the committeeman
selected by Mr.. Gage to run his state cam
paign. He has the reputation Of being the
successor of Hervey Lindley as the special
agent Of the Southern Pacific to do politics
in this part Of the state. He Is decidedly q
success, II we may judge of his work by
the nomination of George Arnold and sew
eral other gentlemen upon the Republican
state ticket.
It has also leaked out that the better ele-
ment Of the Republican party has rebelled
against the railroad tactics Of Parker and
his following, ard that they are hard al
work to defeat their schemes. The Times
of this city has just opened its' batteries
against this crowd, and complete expose
Of their plot would not surprise several on
the inside.
In few days, probably after the Re-
publican caucus on the Sth, the Parker push
docket will be given to the public for inves-
tigauon. It will make some Of the as
pirants for nominations sQuirm little to
see their names peddled around as the pup
pets Of Parker & Co., and 1t will surprise
many to know that several people who
travel ON their shape and decency and are
counted among the four hundred are con-
nivng with this gang for places ON the
railroad ticket.

How to Wash q Tiger

A Cossack, ignorant of the French Ian
guage and equally ignorant of fear, was
recently hired at Moscow by the lion tanner
Pezon to clean the cages Of his wild beasts.
Their understanding, ormisunderstanding,
was arranged by means of gestures and
dumb show, and Pezon thought that the
man thoroughly understood what he had
to do. The next morning the Tartar be-
gan his new duties by entering with a
bucket, sponge and broom. not the cage OF
the tame beast, as his master had done,
but of a splendid untamed tiger, which lay
ASLEEP upon the floor. The fierce animal
awoke and fixed his eyes upon the man,
who calmly proceeded to wet his large
sponge, and, unterrified, to rub down the
tiger as II he had been horse or dog;
while the tiger, apparently delighted by
the application of cold water, rolled over
ON its back, stretched out its paws, and,
purring, offered every part Of its body to
the Cossack, who washed 1t as conpia-
Gently as a mother battles her infant.
Then he left the cage, and would have re-
peated the hazardous experiment upon
another savage beast from the desert had
not Pezon drawn him of with difficulty

When jap Meets jap

Nothing is more amusing than to watch
two acquaintances saluting in the streets Of
a Japanese town. AS they come in sight Of
each other they slacken their pace, and ap-
proach with downcast eyes and averted
faces. as II neither were worthy Of behold
ing the other; then they bow low. so as to
bring the face on level with the knees,
on which the palms Of the hands are
pressed. A succession of kissing sounds is
next made by drawing in the breath be-
tween the closed teeth. interspersed with q
series of complimentary phrases uttered
with great volubility in a sort of under
toned falsetto, each trying to Guido his
friend In rapidity and extravaganza Of Ian
guage. while the palms are diligently
rubbed. At last the climax is reached and
each endeavors to give precedence to the
other. For some moments, perhaps for a
full minute, the polite contest continues;
then the ceremony abruptly ends, as If the
difficulty were capable Of none but a
brusque solution, and the two pass on hur.
riedly, with look OF extreme relief

Mr.. Gage must be proud of his man Park
er, and the railroad must be willing to ac-
knowledge the compliment Of his appoint
ment, but we wonder what good Repub-
licars are saying about the promotion Of
such wire-pullers as Parker and his NOM
ina ton of such men as Arnold.
The friends OF John Spiers of this city
will present his name 10 the Democratic
county convention for the nomination for
treasurer. Mr.. Spiers, thus far. is the only
candidate in the field. His nomination
would add strength to the ticket, as he Is

office. Mr.. Spiers was secretary for many
years of the Builders exchange of this
