What the Nondike Stampede Means ia
IrAde.


Trade.
What does an exodus of 100000 to the
Klondike to the business of the
country? l have figured it out on the
basis of cost and proportion as ascertain
ed, and it is this: That each man of them
would average first and last an expendi-
ture Of s6oo,making a grand total of $780,
100000. The United States railroads
would get s5,ooo,ooo of this; Seattle mer-
chants and hotel keepers, for outfits and
transient guests, s~2s,ooo,ooo; the. pros
pector's home town and towns en- route o
Seattle and other Pacific coast points,
100000; Ship companies, for Transport
tation to Alaska, 100000; and for the
transportation of freight over passes and
in Alaska, sl5,ooo.ooo. This would rep
resent only the actual needs of this many
prospectors, and would cause a large in.
crease in other business directly connect
ed with it. 1t means that in 1888 $780,
100000 will be spent in search of gold in
the yellow creeks, and in the same year
not more than one-fourth of that amount
will be produced. But the output is like
ly to come nearer the expense as each
year goes by, and in a few years to ex-
coed it.-From 1.-THE Rush to the Klon-
dike,"by Sam Stone Bush, in American

THERE are a few people, here
and there, who have expressed
great impotence because Presi-
dent Mckinley has not seen fit to
jump right out and declare wal
with Spain, and to such the fol-
lowing from the New York Times.
intensely democratic, may be
comforting:
No Latin race, we imagine,
would have kept its head as we'll
as the American people have kept
theirs during the disturbing events
of the past two weeks. In Spain
or France or Italy there would
have been tumultuous assemble
ges, much outcry in the streets
and excitement to riot. Outside
of the reckless newspapers there
has been no raving here. But the
president has furnished the most
conspicuous instance of sanity and
wisdom. His perfect calmness
has not been for a moment dis
turbed. His judgment has been
taultless. He has made no mis-
take. Mr.. Mckinley has shown
no desire to make personal or pc.
litical capital out of the grave
matters with which.he has to deal
He has done no posing. He has
not invited the attention ofthe ma
ton. but has performed his high
duties with as little fuss and os
~tentation as he would have ex
hiblted in labors of the dulles
routine. Such a president is tn,
despair Of jingoes, but he inspire
the country with : feeling Of con
6dsnce.

a Useful Little Notion Long In Coming.
Until within a few years spirit
levels were made with perfectly
smooth sides, and there was more
or less danger Of dropping them in
carrying them about and up and
down ladders and so on. Half a
dozen years ago somebody thought
Of cutting a groove or channel in
the wood on each side Of the level,
to make q hand hold. It may seem
strange that nobody had thought OF
this simple device before, but ap-
parently nobody had. The man that
did think of 1t got it patented, and
now levels are made with this inn

"Did Man Make God or Did God Make
Man"-that is; back of the universal idea
of a Supreme being is there in reality a
self-existing, self-conscious Creator and
Governor of the universe, or does God
exist only as an idea in the imagination
of men. Dr.. J. P. D. John, ex-president
of DePauw University, discusses this SUBJ
ject as only a profound scholar and a
deep philosopher can. He has the rare
gift of clothing great thoughts in plain

REVENGE OF PIzEN GULcH

1.-THE man who said that the only
good Indian was a dead Indian was
erbout as near right as men get, re-
marked Colonel Ham sploggett of
Arizona the other evening as he
wrestled with a mint smash, "and
If any man oughter know what he's
talking erbout in them matters !
guess it's me. I went to Arixony a
mighty long timeago. Them darn
ed Apaches wus erbout as onery as
eny sort Of Indians, and not a day
passed but what we fellers down to
Pizen Gulch heard erbout men los
ing their scalps and women and
children being butchered like forty,
the news coming from way out ON
the frontier. wua sorter getting
a grip ON Arirony j>ss then, and I
didn't want to lose it, so 1 less staid
away from the line and tended ter
business with one eye open We
had ter get out and hustle, however.
Indians wux getting more rampa-
geous every day, and finally a hand
Of the measly. numbering robbersr nd
inter a small settlement erbout 50
miles from the Gulch and killed ev-
ely eoul thar, not leaving one to tell
the tale. This riled the boys at the
Gulch, and we thought the time had
come to do something. Two hours
after we got the news we wux out
for biz. Werode away, and an hour
afore shutdown we reached the place
whar the settlement had been.
WAL, sir, I've seen many odd sights
in my life, but that little settlement
wuz erbout the saddeet thing that
ever met these old eyes not so old
then neither. Ashes showed whar
some cabins had stood, and thar, too,
could be seed what remained Of
home things, and jess on the out
skirts of the settlement we found
the bodies of the folks what had
formed the peaceful village.
"Men, women and children alike
had gone to satisfy the awful greed
for blood. They had been dragged
together, and the bodiea-must have
been erbout 30 Of them-wuz piled
In a terrible heap, mutilated and
horrible to look at. The saddest
sight of it all wuz the form Of a lit
tie baby. The small critter wuz
lying on the breast of a woman,
maybe its mother, and it's little fists
wuz fastened in the long hair that
wuz all tangled and howinglike. At
fust I thoughtit wuz sleeping, but it
wuzn't. It wuz dead, and a little
round, black hole right in the mid
die Of it's forehead showed whar the
bullet had done it's work. Thar it
wuz, amonument Of Indian ferocity,
and the poor little limbs Of the baby
wuz cuddled up and its white face
wuz smiling jest as though death had
caught it while 1t wuz looking right
inter its mothers eyes. The sight
of that little one thar, naked to the
skies, made the grim look on the
faces Of the boys Jess kinder deepen
like until they seemed desperate and
deadly. We left the place without a
word, but when we orept up on the
band what did the work we paid
them back to the death, even If it
wuz two weeks later. Them wuz
bad days, I tell you.-Mexico Two
