AS the clear feminine tones ring

tough-looking customers ranged in
front of the bar temporarily withdraw
their attention from the beverages
they are consuming and with vul-
gar curiosity turn their unsteady gaze
in the direction from which the voice
proceeds.

NO BRET HARrE HEROES.


1he Eoiq 6agtons Are Comparatively Free
frvm Lawlssfness.
There Is little disorder In the Alaska
and the Klondike regions. The wild
life pictured in Bret Harte's books Is
not In evidence, and that author would
vote the place dead slow were he TO
visit 1t. Especially in Canada, where
the mounted police, the best organic
ed force of Its kind In the world, pa
trolls the mining regions at regular in
teryals, there is little disturbance.
Rossland, Just over the border north
of Spokane, is a good illustration Of
this. Last year there were 1000 min
ers in Rossland and only one police
man. Yet the town had no serious
trouble. The worst fuss that occurred
was when a drunken negro got into
fight with a colored woman and
struck her several times with his fist.
On this side of the line he might have
received two months. The Canadian
court promptly sent him up for six
years.
Pulls do not 60 with the Canadian
police nor with any Of the depart
ments of justice. The miners under
stand this thoroughly and have
wholesome respect for law and order.
There are no barrooms pure and sim
pie. Drinks cannot be served except
In bona fde hotel where guests
lodge for the night and there is res
taurant serving regular meals. In
dams are not allowed to have liquor
under any circumstances. Few Of
fences will get man into the peni-
tertiary quicker than selling spirits
to the aboriginss. There Is no mercy
shown whatever.

HALF A KING.

Francis Wilson is announced for next
Saturday night ut the Grand Opera House.
At tho risk Of being branded MS unnriGi-
nal, lot it be remarked that Half n King
last season was whole success There is
scarcely critic who hasn't fallen into the
trap of this vcrbage, SO that sin is COM
milted in good company. The new opera
is almost everything that it should be. 1t
is fair in plot, moi sufficiently involved TO
establish u new precedent in comic opera
in anity, the music fits the wolds and the
words are good This opinion is arrived
at, not by anything that issued out of the
ehoru !, but by n careful reading of thc.book
OF the piece But those who heard the en-
trancins music last season, will bear out
the optimistic opinion.

married ladies, that the clingin' vine

RUNNING AWAY.

The sky was clear, the stars were

The grass was wet with dew,
When Johnny arose, put on his clothes,
And vowed what he would do.
I'll leave my pa, I'll leave my ma,
I'll 70 from here to stay;
They used me rough-Ive had enough.
And SO III run away.
It'll take my clothes, I'll take my all

I'll strike for Hberty!"
And Johnny started bravely out,
And said he'd ne'er return;
He said he'd 20 and make a show,
And let his genius burn.
He Travelled all that summer night
And bravely through the day.
And then" said he. Il wish that we
Had never run away!
"I'm weak and tired and sick" said he.
With sadness in his tone;
1T isn't best to 60 out west
At least, to 60 alone!
And now I'm in pretty fix.
And don't know what to dol"
Aud then he sighed and sobbed and
cried:
"Boo-hoo, boo-hoo, boo-hoo!"
The boy when found was. taken home,
And was content to stay.
Said he: 'I'm cured, and rest assured.
Ill never run away!"

Color blindness,

1t has been scientifically proved that
a wonlan's color perception much ex-
ceeds that of man. while men, as IA
rule, have keener sense Of smell.
Women's training in the details Of
dress doubtless accounts for much Of
this superiority. Men, however, who
were almost color blind have yet
shown surprisingly good taste in the
selection of dress goods for their wo-
men folks.
While on this subject OF color, one
may mention that popular lecturer
on dress advised women to wear
street gowns the color Of their hair,
house gowns the color OF their eyes;
and evening toilets the tinge Of their
conplexlons.'
