ward their sacrifices. The wives are
pilgrims of madness at heart as we'll.
They cannot resist taking a chance at
the luxury attendant upon wealth. But
the infatuation is not limited to the
poor and lowly alone. " Just before the
gangplank was pulled up the wife of an
ex-governor passed me a letter for her
husband, who is near Circle City. She
had not heard from him or he from
her for three months. ~ -.
That, night the steamer lay at the
pier in Tacoma, and the chug-chug-
chug OF the donkey engine taking on
ton upon ton Of outfits hammered the
sleep out Of sensitive heads until 4
O'clock in. the morning. At Victoria,
B. G., an already overloaded hold re-
ceived still more freight. Every berth
was taken and the capacity of the
steerage had been increased by a. pro-
cess of crowding which admitted of no
stretching of limbs without giving a
neighbor personal offense.
When at the first meal the passen-
gers were herded together indifferently
in the dining room you saw in the
countenances of varying nationalities
and you heard in the varying dialects
and broken tongues the evidence of
the cosmopolitan nature of the crowd,
and you observed by their manners
and the directness with which they laid
hands on the dish of food that they de-
sired that, with few exceptions, they
were roughly cosmopolitan at that
The exceptions, which were, in truth,
the finishing touch of cosmopolitanism I.
came to the mountains, and the more
gently bred tenderfeet were soon simu-
lating the: Klondike form with some
success. Common physical surround
ings are great social leveler, and the
neglect of ones razor a greater social
leveler. Three tons of freight could be
carried in the steamers bathrooms.
Boards were allowed freedom in order
to protect the face from the cold.
Sweaters were the universal garment.
By the time we reached Juneau all
passengers were on a basis of equality,
so far as general appearances were
concerned, and then the mountain may
be said to have at least nodded to the
minority in the matter of the orange
spoons. The majority never deserted
the orange spoons for single moment.
