Photograph Played Him False.


1t Is strange that no one but a Kansas
pastor, full of the life and energy that has
come to that state. would have thought of
the photograph as his substitute In the pull
pit While absent on vacation. It Is re-
ported that an earnest and progressive
pastor, leaving his flock for vacation, left
a thirty-minute sermon on a cylinder to be
delivered at the proper time. The hymns
were sung, a brother had offered prayer
and the announcements had been made,
when one of the deacons brought forward
the monograph. placed it upon the pulpit
and announced that, when set in motion it
would give a devoted flock one of the SER
mons which had endeaJed the pastor to
the congregation. Thereupon the good
deacon set the machine in molten

Written for The Evening Star.
On the 2sth day of May, 1893, less than
one year from the date of this sketch, the
approaches to the White Pass of the Chill
cat mountains presented their primeval
chaos and silence. Over an icy trail an
endless line of dumb. determined argonauts
plodded their weary way.
On the 9th of that north the silence of
ages awoke; the granite hills shook under
the explosion of tons of giant powder. and
enc thousand laborers. armed with bar and
barrow, drill and dynamite. pushed out
from the head waters Of Lynn canal, leav
ing two shining lines of steel in their wake.
Other railroads have conquered greater
heights, others have spanned wider chasms,
but for rapidity of construction in the
dead of an arctic winter, over an almost
rsurmountabe mountain range, the White
Pass and Yukon railway must ever stand
in conspicuous pre-eminence.

the granite wall a mile high, and the SHOWS

In the spring of last year President S. Fl.
Graves arrived in New York. In his vest
pocket. so to speak, he carried the sole
possessions of this arctic thoroughfare,
viz: Charters from the English govern
ment granting right of way over British
territory, from a point near Lake Bennett
to Dawson. Right of way had already
been granted by the United States govern
ment over the strip of American territory
lying between the sea and the international
boundary line Armed with these docu-
ments, Mr.. Graves started for Alaska, ar
irving in April. 1t seems incredible that in
50 short space of time immense quaint
ties of railroad material could have been
purchased and shipped three-fourths of the
way from New York to the north pole. and
that the same weeks should witness the
discovery and association of as splendid
corps of civil engineers as ever sighted
