HAMLI Garland's Trip to the Klondike
Hamlin Garland, poet, novelist, and
since April last a Klondike gold hunter,
who braved the horrors of both the
"back-door route" to Alaska and the
Chilkoot Pass, has reached Chicago and
is reaccustoming himself to civilization
at his house, While he is waiting for
news of strikes on his Atlin Lake
claims and preparing to complete the
American novel and the book of verse
interrupted by his journey after gold
and new literary material. His faith
full broncho, that carried his camp out
fit through a frightful journey of 1000
miles. has been brought back to Craze
in the peaceful meadows at West Sa-
lem, Wis, where oats are 20 cents a
bushel instead of 20 cents a pound.
Mr.. Garland reached Chicago three
days ago from Seattle. But few of his
friends know of his arrival. Last night
he was a guest at inner With Israel
Zangwill at the residence of Israel
Gown, 3216 South Park avenue, and it
was to the Jewish writer, and after
wards to a reporter for the Chicago
Tribune that Mr.. Garland wildly de-
scribed his experiences, which he means
to turn into sketches and stories.
QUEST OF WILDNESS STATED.
Il took the trip as a vacation. l
wanted to see the widest part of North
America, and l found it. 1t was fully
up to expectations Mr.. Garland said.
Il left West Salem, where my parents
live, early last April with a college
chum, Burton Babcock. Both of us
had %'roughed it. in the Rockies every
summer and we thought we knew what
there was of bad country.
we went from West Salem to Ash
croft, B. c., where we QUILTED and
prepared to start overland 1000 miles to
the Stikine River, intending to go to
Lake Teslin. We took five horses and
all the outfit that our experience in
the mountains had taught us vas nee
essary. We calculated on finding an
arid country, but instead we Travelled
through a flood.
1T didn't rain for the first few DAYS
or the 100 miles, but when it began to
come down it poured steadily. There
was no bottom to the trail. There were
streams where the maps said there was
none and no streams where they should
have been. The country has never been
surveyed except by guess. The rivers
were swollen, and it was constant risk
OF u lives to cross most of them.
All along those /, 600 miles were men
pound, l X US, for Lake Teslin. Some
were without provisions. One of our
nve bronchos died from eating poison
Gus grass. The others were sick. We
learned that one nan who started out
with % horses lost them all.

The Study OF colors.

The study Of colors and their effects
is a very curious and interesting one.
There are color that are refreshing
and broadening. Others that absorb
light and give q btxed-up appearance
to a room, others that make q room
with a bleak northern exposure or with
nc exposure at all appear bright and
cheelful; some that make a room APP
pear warm; some that make 1t cold.
II a ceiling is to be made higher leave
it light, that it may appear to recede.
Deepening the color used on the CELL
ing would make it lower, an effect de-
sirable IL the room is small and the
ceiling very high. Various tones Of
yellow are substitutes for sunlight.
The thermometer seems to fall six
degrees when you walk into a blue
room. Yellow is an. advancing color;
therefore a room fitted up with yellow
will appear smaller than 1t is. On the
other hand, blue OF q certain shade In
troduced generously into q. room will
give an idea Of space.: Red makes no
difference In regard to. size. Green
makes very little.
If a bright, sunny roo gets its light
from a space obtruded upon by russell
colored or yellow painted houses, or
else looks out upon q stretch Of green
grass, 1t should be decorated in a color
very different from the shade chosen
If the light comes from only an UNI
broken .expanse: OF sky.
If oliye or red brown. be used in cor
junction with mahogany furniture the
result: will be very different. from that
obtained by the use Of blue. Blue would
develop the tawney orange lurking. in
the mahogany,
Red brings out in a room whatever
tint of green turks in the composition
of the other colors employed.
Green needs sunlight to develop the
yellow in it and make it seem cheerful.

GARLAND'S
TRIP TO THE KLONDIKE

Nobody knew where we we're. 1t was
impossible to tell from the maps, It
was comparatively easy for an expert
enced miner to weep the trail, but there
We're scores Of men who lost it. The
trail wasn't even blazed. The man
who was sent out to survey it got lost.
w were on short rations for about
six days before we reached Fort Wran-
gel. We fed some of the poor fellows
along the trail, but one had to look out
for himself, too, in that country. We
were 70 days on the trail, which we
had expected to cover in so. Frequent
~ it took a day to cover 10 miles. 1t
required from three to five hours to
cross the streams. This was where we
had expected to find an arid country.
We could see where parties ahead Of
us had been able to ford the streams,
but they were swollen by the time we
reached them, and we had to crop
down trees and get across in that way.
1.-The Skagway trail vas nothing COM
pared with it. The Whole Skagway trail
is an easier task than one days tramp
through that pouring rain and bottonl-
less mud. If it was bad for us, what
must it have been for men who knew
nothing about such life? The flies and
other insects made life a torture. We
had the best protection obtainable in
the way of nets, but there were hun
dreds Of men who were withou any
protection at all.
Those fellows had to live on ground
hogs and anything they could find. 1t
was horrible. Over our heads were the
snow peaks, and the glaciers all along
the trail helpad to make a torrent of
every small stream. 1t isn't much won
der that when we reached the Stikine
at Telegraph Creek we were both about
tired out.
TRIP OVER CHILKOOT PASS.
"Babcock left me there. I QUILTED
him n started him into the country.
Then l proceeded to Fort Wrangle. 1
was just in time for the news Of the
Atlin Lake excitement, and the country
was full OF miners. l believe that it Is
a good mining country, but I don't want
any n to go there on what I say. I
secured what I think are a number Of
good claims, and then started back.
Yes, I came over the Chilkoot Pass,
and in one day. 1t was one of the
worst Of the season. 1t was like walk
ing on the tops of church steeples. No
one could see where he was going, the
clouds were so thick. We waded thro'
water most of the way, and finally got
through alive. But it was frightful."
Mr.. Garland has about recovered from
the effects Of his journey, as he has had
three weeks in which to rest since land
ing at Seattle. But he has had enough
of the Klondike for a while.

Victim Of Popular Neglect.

Lots of folks sleep frequently in
sleeping cars" observed a railroad con-
ductor to a Washington Star reporter
but there is not one in each hundred
men or women, who can tell you an
hour after they get out of the car what
the name of the car is. Some LADY, pas
sengers can remember a car by the way

mentt inside, but it is rarely that thew
ever try to impress the name of the car
upon their memory. I have been run

cago for nearly two years, and while
a number of my regular travellers re-
member the porter and myself and

time met but four who remembered
the name Of my car. Sleeping cars, as a
rule, nave the same name from the time
they come out Of the shops, new. to

me, are attractive or curious enough to
be remembered. But they all share the
same fate, In that no one remembers or

CRowNEDsHEADs AT TABLE.

ARoAA NbS AoDiSS "a SAAS
crowned heads of Europe have always
exercised a potent charm upon the i'm
aginations of those who have never
sat at their sides. But the pictures of
the ~"feshpots of Egypt" conjured up
by the fancy often widely differ from
courts.
Among all the European rulers the
table Of the Emperor Of Austria, al
though he himself is extremely tenn
perate in eating and drinking, is the
richest and best served. King Hum
bert of Italy, however, might almost
be called a vegetarian, as he lives al
most entirely upon fruits and vege-
tables. He drinks only Bordeaux wine
mixed with water. But the most tenn
perate Of all the earth's p~otentates is
Pope Leo XIII. His breakfast, which he
is accustomed to eat after mass, con-
sists of coffee and milk alone.
At noon the aged ruler of the church
eats two eggs, a small piece of chicken,
as a rule, and some fruit. He drinks at
Liz IL i1liC d glass VI bOIueduN. Ol
fast days fish and macaroni are SUBJ
stituted for the chicken. From dinner
time until bedtime the pope takes no
nourishment with the exception of a
bit of bread dipped in milk.
A better eater is the emperor of Rus
STA. Even at breakfast eggs, ham,
beef and tea must be placed on his
table. At luncheon, which is eaten
about IL O'Clock, the car takes bouil-
Ion, with eggs, mutton chops and cold
game. AS a rule, at his meal he also
drinks three cups of strong coffee.
At 2 O'Clock he eats a dish of milk
and rice. Dinner is served at 6 o'clock
1t is a hearty meal after the French
pattern. Before going to bed he stills
the pangs of hunger with tea and coffee.
Queen Victoria prefers Scotch dishes,
and the queen regent of Spain remains
true to the Austrian cooking, being es-
pecially fond of Vienna bread.
Emperor William II. is a heavy eater.
He prefers nourishing dishes, however,
to the refined examples of the cooks
art. After the warming bath he is
served with an English breakfast, con-
sisting Of tea, bread, eggs in some form,
cotelette, beefsteak, etc.
His lunch, usually eaten alone, is also
rich. He takes at this time soup, meats,
vegetables, roast and sweets. Dinner
is announced at 5 o'clock. At this meal
the empress and chance guests help
the emperor to while away the time. It
does not consist usually Of more dishes
than the other meals, but great care
is taken in selecting them.
The empress often makes up the bill
of fare herself, and tries to choose the
favorite dishes of her husband. If the
emperor has taken much exercise dur
ing the day a light meal is eaten late
at night. Tea and cold meats at least
are always ready. His majesty is ex-
tremely fond of bowie or punch, sell
dom taking beer. His favorite wines are

an. again the exceptions in favor Of
doing so. For instance, if the man in
troduced is the husband or brother of
the woman making the introduction it
would be natural to shake hands with
him, almost imperatively so; but were
he a mere acquaintance it would be
most unusual to shake hands with
him on first introduction. After a little
short and desultory conversation has
taken place between two women or be-
tween a woman and a man just intro
duced to each other, the doubt arises
whether they are expected to shake
hands on taking their departure; neith-
err do they shake hands at future chance

with any and every guest brought to
her house by her friends. She does so
on their arrival and on their departure
and again at any subsequent meeting

is not always certain to be the case.
AS regards dinner guests, when a
man is introduced to a, woman for the
purpose of taking her in to dinner she
does not shake hands with him, but
merely bows, and, however well they

There are times when war is justi-
fable. There are times when it be-
comes necessary to batter down with
shot and shell the citadels of ignor-
ance and barbarism. There are times
when argument, logic, eloquence and
persuasion are worse than wasted.
There are times when evolution has
decreed that progress shall move for
ward on bloodstained path. When
the people of nation fail to resent
such outrages as have been committed
against this country by the Spaniards,
the spirit Of liberty is dead beyond
hope of resurrection. 1t is always
wise to do right. It is right that Cuba
should be free. It is right that Spain
be dispossessed of every foot of terri
tory adjacent of this hemisphere. It
is right that the United States shall
maintain it's dignity among the ma.

liberty. The fact that this nation is
now ruled by such men as Hanna and
J. P. Morgan is no reason why it's
people should supinely submit to
Spanish insults. A flag is just what
an administration makes it. Just now
at Washington it stands for Wall
street, bond syndicates and purchased
cowardice. Where stand the corrupt
ing influences of America in this en-
Urgency? Where stand the men who
are secretly working for an actual po-
litical plutocracy? Where stand the
men who would disfranchise? To a
man they are pleading for Spain. To
a man they are urging President Nc

about it? Will they accept the will of

north as Moorhead, and about half
done in the Valley. Dat and barley

and blowing for corn has begun in the
same part of the state. There was a
good rain in Houston county on the
18th and 18th which saturated the
ground, but elsewhere the surface soil
is so dry that high winds drift it a
good deal, sometimes uncovering; the
seed, but the subsoil is damp enough
to terminate seed if it has been sewed
deep enough. The soil is in better
condition than for years, and the
preparation of the seed-bed requires
much less labor than usual. tt is
said that some of the first seeded
wheat has rotted, and some of it has
been replanted. .".
The acreage of wheat will be in
creased and that of barley decreased.
A little gardening has been done, and
in Hennepin county potato planting is
begun. Fruits, clover, winter wheat
and rye have generally wintered well.
Some cattle are out on pasture, but
the feed is still short. Warmer wea-
