~ The Boy of 1000 Years Ago.

The numerous papyri unearthed
some time ago by Messrs. Grenfel and
Hunt from the ancient city of Oxy-
rhyncus, Egypt, are being gradually
deciphered. One of them, a letter from
boy, evidently a petted darling, to
his father, sounds strangely modern,
though it is at least 1000 years old:
''Theon to His Father Theon, Greeting:
1t was fine thing of you not to take.
me with you to the city! If you won't
take me with you to Alexandria I
won't write you letter or speak to
you, or say good-by to you; and if you
go to Alexandria I won't take your
hand, nor ever greet you again. That
is what will happen if you won't take
me. Mother said to Archelaus, Tt

NEW ENGINE FOR ENGLAND.

Baldwin Finishes First nIachin 70
Island and Country.
In these days, when American man
ufacturers dream of making the entire
world a market for their goods, it is
interesting to note that the Baldwin
Locomotive Works has just finished it's
first engine for England. For years
it has been building locomotives for
British provinces and colonies, but
this engine is the first foothold it has
secured in the island itself. The loco
motive, which is a "double-ender,' is
intended to run between Barnstaple,
in Devonshire, to Lynton, a coast re-
sort about fifteen miles to the north,
and has one feature which is expected
to make Englishmen stare. This is a
cowcatcher, or, rather, two COW
catchers, one at each end-a device
quite unknown in English railroading.
AS a concession to English methods
there is no headlight, but only large
signal lamp in it's place. The Bald
wins have recently shipped six engines
to Spain, to be used on mining rail-
road In the province of Biscay-a fact
which shows that the Spanish some
times do know good thing, even if
American, when they see it.

staked in the Klondike mining dis
trict. OF these only 500 are of any
proven value more than a nominal
speculative sum. And the nominal
speculative sum is fast going down be-
cause the boom is out of Dawson. The
thicker the "cheechawkos" become the
smaller the boom. Claims which were
prospected still sell, but unprospeeted
ones on unprospected creeks do not.
Everybody is waiting to see whether
or not the Canadian government is
going to rescind the royalty, whether
OF. not Ottawa is going to send an hon
est set of officials, whether or not any
new ground will be discovered by the
pilgrims, what is to be the rate of
wages In fine, which way the cat Is
going to jump. And the pilgrim being
the cat, or largely the cat, eating fat
bacon when the thermometer is at 100,
is waiting on his own part for the cat
to Jump. In his heart the jump he
wants to make himself is over the
mountains and the glaciers to the land
where there are Strawberries and
cream to go with them. It was fairly
ll-distributed fact a year ago
though the pilgrim could think only Of
the story of $500 a pan on Eldorado-
that all the five creeks now demon
strated to be rich---El dorado, Bonanza,
Hunker, Dominion and Sulphur were
staked by men who were in the K1on-
dixie or started for the Klondike before
the world received the news which was
responsible for the first great rush.

upon this little mining camp it was
lost like a piece of cheese under cloud
of flies. If the "cheechawkos' we
never called them by any other name
expected much from Dawson, Dawson
expected a good deal from the 'scheec-
hawkes." The saloon keepers wanted
whisky; capitalists wanted to see the
price of labor go down, and everybody
wanted fresh eggs, fresh beef, cigars to
smoke, and a new pair of boots. These
things the "cheechawkos' gave us.
That is, those of the .tcheechawkos"
who were clever enough to take in
goods and edibles to sell, thus allowing
somebody to dig the gold for them in
stead of digging for themselves. These
were sure of fair, and perhaps
fabulous, profit, which is safer propo-
sition than taking one chance out Of a
thousand on finding a 100000 claim.
The first man to arrive had built his
boat at the foot of lie Barge. He was
from Seattle, and he told us so as soon
as he was in hailing distance. In
Dawson it is hard to escape the impress
sion that Seattle is a district repre-
senting an area of about ope-half of
the United States. This Seattle man
had eggs and lemons to sell, and he got
$1S dozen for both. The first boots
to come down sold for SIS a pair; the
first potatoes, 50 a pound; first oranges,
aSl8 dozen; first bananas, 81 apiece;
first broad brimmed hats, $25 apiece;
first fresh meat, So a pound; first SUI

strike, and the valiant few will go out
UP the unprospe pected creeks, thawing

seeking for strikes of their own. But
two-thirds Of the 10000 will spend
Christmas at home in the states. Alas
ka is richer in gold than the experts
who went into the country expected
to find it. But getting the gold is like
extracting an elephants tooth with a
pair Of tWeezers- as the newcomer sees
it. The terror wears off with expe-s
rience. And the Klondike has never
been SO habitable as it will be this win

DO YOU LOVE ME STILL?

IS pOWerless-like a dreamer who suf-
fers and cannot awake, though he
knows, the while, that he is dreaming.
She knew in her heart that her lovers
word was worth more than most mems
vows; she knew that his purpose was
direct and honest, and yet she doubted.
The tiny stone of suspician began TO
roll A question which Cicely was too
proud to ask would have checked it,
but it rushed on and became an ava
lanche that buried and crushed their
happiness under it's mass. Raymond
looked on dazed. He could not under
stand.
When it was too late it was made
plain. Cicely sat before her own fire,
in the dusk, and looked quietly at the
blazing logs. The light shone on her
fair face and on her cleaning hair.
Raymond stood and looked down at
her, resting his arm on the mantel-
piece. He was an honest man. He
had no intention Of speaking of even
the love Of the past to another mans
wife, but beside the blank reality rose
up in front Of him the might been
of his life, and he cried out from the
depths: --.
f. "Cicely, Why did you do it,"
She started back and looked up at
him. For one long minute the deep
eyes gazed into his eyes and saw there
the futility Of an irretrievable mistake.
The curved lips grew white, and parted
and closed again. She turned and hid
her face in her tight-clasped hands,
and bowed her head against the back
Of the chair. There is tragedy of the
fiercest sort that enters, once, at least,
into most lives tragedy which seems
to rend the veil of ones universe in
twain and to open up the graves where
ones hopes and SORROWS have lain
sleeping. Yet we jeer at melodrama
when we are shown bits from the play
OF existence that are as nothing to the
truth. We say it is overacted. It is
because it has been mercifully given to
us to forget In the past, Raymond,
first OF all, would have scoffed; in the
