who arrived today from Alaska bring news
that there are at least 400 prospectors on
the Edmonton trial between Desc lake
and Hudson Bay Post, on the Lizard river,
the most of whom are in destitute circum-

along the trail for over a year, finding
little gold, and, their money having be-
come exhausted, they are without the
means of obtaining supplies. Many of the
men are said to be suffering from scurvy
and frost bites. The sick cannot receive
proper medical attendance and many are
dying. ]. II. McGregor brought with him
an appeal to the authorities of British

lieve the sufferers. There are about a
dozen cases of scurvy in the hospital at
Glenora and several dozen on the trail be-
tween Atlin and Glenora.

ed. How They Do 1t.

There are several thousand bows and
hundreds of men engaged IN ST Louis in
business which brings a weekly Dr1t:t OF
from s. 600 tC $40, 600. It's the selling OF
daily papers. Hundreds o; families live
comfortably on the profits OF The sale OF
daily newspapers.
In St. Louis the favorite newspaper with
the boys is the POST DISPATCH, be
cause it sells best. An investigation has
shown that the boys ell more copies of
the daily POST-DIsPATCH than the
combined sales Of the two other English
evening papers.
One Of the pleasures the boys find in sell
ing papers is they are their "own boss" I"
They come and SC when they please.
While many have regular corners and
newstands. others merely walk the streets
each having his own peculiar way OF
! ''c.ving" out his papers
The situation IS quite different on Sun
day The papers are printed II the morn
ing and by six o'clock the boys and men
are out in search OF buyers.
! There are four English Sunday papers
Many boys take out 500 papers A boy
| taking from two to three hundred papers
has all he can do to get over the ground.
| Sundays as on week days finds the
I
ready seller. It's the most for the mon
| ey." The Sunday POST DISPATCH has
many original and exclusive features, in
clud'ns the Colored Con,ic Weekly.
These great newspaper Offices have what
is called Circulation Department. the
object Of which is to promote the sale OF
tbs papers. This department answers all
requests for sample copies (which are sent
free) and so on In the country as in ST.
Louis. they are constantly looking for
agents" fboys or men to represent them.
This IS done By the aid of travelling men
and correspondence All letters are
promptly answered. 1t is pleasant work,
especially in the towns outside Of ST.
Louis. Boys III outside towns are not
called ressboys. but agents.
More money is made outside of ST
Louis because the selling price is more
and the profit greater.
