TIRE CRUISE OF THE CoRACLE
II was broad day when ! awoke. and

on this side descended almost to the

Good Friends.

In cavalry troop there generally
grows up between each horse and his
rider a strong bond Of sympathy and
friendship. Soldiers in the cavalry serv-
ice are in most cases stationed at remote
western posts where, far from home
and friends and as rule unmarried,
they are necessarily very limited in
their social pleasures and amusements.
On this account, perhaps, the propensi-
ty for having pets of various kinds is
very strongly developed and increases
the sense of fellowship between the
horses and their riders. Cruelty or in
attention to the wants of their horses is
rare trait among cavalrymen, and
even should this be the case from the
feeling of proprietorship cruelty from
one soldier to the horse of another would
be resented as an injury to the owner
himself.
This comradeship is more in evidence
upon long march or while in the field
engaged upon arduous or dangerous du-
ties. On such occasions, when forage
often becomes scarce. cavalry soldiers
will jealousy guard every grain that
their horses receive and should the ser,
geant through carelessness or prejudice
give trife more or less to one than the
other it often provokes a vast deal Of
grumbling, so closely is the trooper in
terested in the welfare of his horse. =

FROM THE KLONDIKE.

Will Beecher, son Of G.. w. Beecher
former resident here, writes home
from Dawson city where he is at pres
emit: "People are not nearly as crazy
about gold in here as they are on the
outside. Hundreds Of men had to go
down the Yukon before it froze and
hundreds more will have to go out on
the ice, as they have not enough grub
to winter on. Flour has been cling
all the way from S75 to $3.50 per sack of
fifty pounds; candles are Sl25 per box;
beans, 81 .25 per pound; everything else
is Sl.00 per pound. A man cannot eat
gold, and any one coming to this coun-
try should bring at least provisions
enough to last one year and half On
the outside" they will say that you
can buy everything you want here at
reasonable prices. The man who be-
lieves any such stuff is fool, and he
will be very lucky il he doesn't feed
the ravens" early in the fall. My ad-
vice to any one wishing to come here,
is to stay away from the Klondlke.
The boom is now at its height, but by
next fall the bubble will have burst, -
and there will be hundreds OF people
left here without money or grub. The
sun is visible here in the gulch for
only about thirty minutes each day
and is getting so far south that by the
last OF this month we will not see it at
all. Candles are SIPS each. We have
only few left, so we only use them to
eat by, and the rest of the time we
keep one of the stove lids off, which
gives enough light to see to get around
the cabin. Dogs take the place of
horses here, and a good team of seven
or eight will haul hall ton. The
native dogs are not haired. They
cannot bark, but howl1ike a wolf, and
are called malymptes. Some of them
resemble the wolf and some look like
over-growR foxes. They are great
thieves and will steal anything they
can carry off. In the winter time they
are worth from 500 to $3.50 apiece"

The elderly widower, who had four
children, talked to her about the advan.

son raved about romantic marriages
and the picturesque side of poverty.
The curate ate buttered toast and lisped

The force of habit sometimes mani
tests itself in peculiar ways, says the
Chicago Times Herald. A young woman
entered an elevator in one of Chicago's
high buildings and when she reached
the eleventh floor rendered the elevator
man a fee of cents.
"What is this for. miss?" he asked in
some surprise.
'It is for my fare"

The young woman looked bewildered.

Politeness Came to Grief.

1t happened on Ridge avenue street
car early one evening last week, says
the Philadelphia Record. He was a
rather nice looking fellow, very neatly
dressed and apparently on the alert to
be gallant TO any lady who might hap
pen to run across his path. His oppor-
tunity came along very shortly when a
pretty young woman sat down beside
him. He took sly, unobtrusive survey
of her face and figure, and i'll the course
of his observations his eye rested upon
a dainty bit CT linen and lace lying on
the floor near the edge of her gown
The young lady had dropped her hand
kerchief, thought the gallant, and he
promptly proceeded to restore it to her.
He stopped over and grasped the deli
cate fabric. The next moment there
was slight ripping noise, and the gal
liant, blushing furiously, released his
hold upon the bit of lace edged linen.
The young woman looked daggers at
him, while the other passengers snick-
cred. "I-aw-beg pardon, stammer-
ed the unhappy young man. Il didn' t
know it was your-aw-I thought it
was your handkerchief The young
woman s nose assumed an upward tilt,
and she hid the damaged lingerie under
the edge of her outer skirt. The gallant
left the car at the next cross street.

Foy and the Lunatic.

Eddie Foy, the comedian, spent a
summer vacation at his old home in
central New York. One day as he was
strolling past the large insane asylum
that stands on the outskirts of the town
he was startled by low "Hist" and
on looking up saw one OF the worst
heads that ever came under his gaze
peering over the wall. Eddie was not
frightened, for he did not think the
maniac could scale the wall, but he
quickened his pace He had proceeded
but a short distance when he heard a
scrambling, and on looking saw that
the mailman had climbed over the wall
and was following him. Eddie walked
fast. but the maniac, who was an inn
mense fellow, with face that wore a
demoniac look, walked faster. Foy trot-
ted little, and the mailman trotted
after him. Eddie finally broke into a
run and was Mortified to see that his
pursuer was not only running also, but
was gaining steadily. Eddie is not much
of a sprinter, but on this occasion he
made remarkable time, but soon Foy
could hear the labored breathing of his
pursuer and felt that he could make no
further effort. Just as he was about to
faint from exhaustion the maniac
reached forward, touched him gently on
the shoulder and said Tag! Your

rwENTY-FIFrH Anniversary


The home OF Rev. w L. Munger
was the scene Of happy and agree
able time, Notwithstanding the bad
walking the rooms were we'll filled to
participate in the twenty-ffth anniver-
sary OF Rev. and Mrs. Munger's mar.
ried life. The true date would have
been Sunday January 80, so Wednes-
day the Goth was chosen, the time OF
the regular monthly afternoon tea Of
the Ladies' Aid Society to commerate
the event. The program proper began
in the evening with solo by Mr.. J. G..
Clemens, a poem written for the occa.
sion by Mrs. Will Wilder in which she
reviewed the achievements in the arts
literature and science OF the past TWEEN
ty-five years, touching on some points
OF history in Mr.. and Mrs. Munger's
life; another solo by Mr.. Clemens with
accompaniment on piano by Mrs. Glenn
ems. Then in speech both tender and
witty Mr. Clemens presented the couple
with basket OF silver dollars covered
over with flowers. A full dinner and
tea set OF fine dishes were received the
following day from friends abroad.
DR.. j G. and Mrs. Buchanan and
Mrs. Thomas ID. Gilbert, OF Grand
Rapids, came on the evening train
with flowers and fine cake as far as
Greenville but on account OF the storm
the evening train did not run from
Greenville to Bedding and they were
forced, greatly to their disappointment
and that OF the Beldlng friends, to re-
turn to Grand Rapids.
The following poem was written by
Rev. A. G.. Pierce, who married Mr.
and Mrs. Munger and sent for the occa.
sion, and was read by Mrs. w. ID.
Ballou:
Dear friends, my words have little power
To voice the feelings OF this hour,
| Your course, since Hymen tethered you
With gratitude and pride view;
And now fam would say:
May He whose kindly hand has led,
IurOuBn ali Ine years Ol llIe now heu'
Direct you still, your needs supply,
And bring you TO himself on high,
When ends life's toilsome way
Years twenty. five have rolled away,
Since your eventiul wedding day;
| l know the time, know the spot,
Twas my own hand that tied the knot;
ro me was this grace given"
That boat OF yours looked II o'er
Then gently pushed 1t from the shore.
And now that barque, understand,
Has touched upon the silver strand;
Three more at least, may time unfold
The pearl, the ruby and the gold
And then, the gate OF heaven.
oh rushing tide, Oh rolling years.
Oh days of toll and hope and fears;
oh mingled scenes of Joy and pain,
| OF good and i'll. OF loss and gain,
How swift you bear US on,
To that eternal ''land Of leal'
Where sorrow none shall ever feel
From whence the shades of night have fed,
And all the ills that mortals dread,
Forever more have gone.
But in the spell aflove's deep thrall,
Both time and change are powerless ALL
Nor adverse Winds nor heaving tide
United souls can ere divide.
They RISE earth S storms above,
And onward hold united course
mistaken by opposing force
Not all the power OF time and change
Can ere united hearts estrange.
Or ALLEVIATE their love.
