been cut out years before and had con-
cave roof. The walls were very smooth.
Three hunks had been cut into the sand
stone walls. They were shaped like ca
noes, and the rock above had been hewn
out in the shape of half moon. The
hunks were all on one side, and measured
SKI 1-2 feet. The walls were elaborately
carved. There were monsters of the sea
and strange looking animals. A compass
and square, quarter moon and a number
of stars decorated one side of the room.
In one corner we found a deep well-like
hole that had evidently been used as res
ervoir for storing water at one time
Near this we found Chinese coin with
square hole in the centre. 1t was diff
ferent from the ordinary Chinese cash. Lin
had never seen anything like it before and
said that it must be very old. l will have
1t examined by authorities on such matters
and see II 1t will not give some clew to
the ancient inhabitants of the Northland.
In one corner of the room lay a pile of
bones. l believe them to be from some
human being, but could not tell for certain.
Both the Chinaman and myself saw
spooks in our sleep that night. Lin dream
ed that band of wild Chinese were after

Fable of the Righteous Man.
From the Chicago Times Herald)
There was a man who said unto himse

Nfrom the Ihicago Times Herald
There was a man who said unto himself:
Now l will go forth and be righteous
l will injure none OF my brothers. / will
do unto men as l wish to be done by
And 1t came to pass that the man got
hungry. and he sat him down to eat Now,
when the waiter came with his check the
righteous man saw that there was a mis-
take. He had eaten 40 cents worth ot one
thing and another and the check was a
green check. the same being for 25 cents.
And 10! he cried in loud voice saying:
Gimme check for 40 cents. You
haven't charged me enough
For he wanted the world to know that he
was righteous man.
And it befell that the head waiter heard
him, and the man who had blundered was
discharged.
Now, it forRned that he who lost his job
had wife and six little ones, and he hunt
ed for employment in vain, wherefore in
time those that were dear to him began to
be an hungered, and when he would go TO
them footsore and weary, at night, they
would cry out unto him, saying:
Give us to eat and drink, or we per-
ish."
And they would have fulfilled the threat
IL the nefghbors hadn't gone TO the rescue.
But upon day the man who wanted a
job met the righteous man, and the right
eous man did not remember him and he
hired him. And the man who had cnce
been a waiter got chance to steal $3.50
from the righteous man, and he took 1t,
and the righteous man was out that much,
and he swore horribly, and he blasphe-
mously declared that he would be right
eous no longer.
Moral: The man who endeavors to make
fuss because he doesn't cheat his neigh
Dor out of Is cents must have quick returns
on his righteousness il he is to be saved.

All of the companies are now re-
cruited to the full strength. and some
of them will run as high as so men.
There will be about $50 enlisted men
in the camp. and with the officers.
band, etc, it will make the regiment
about $50 strong. Nearly all the old
commissioned officers will be with the
regiment, only eight having been lost
since the return from war.
Col. Foster expects this camp to be
one of unusual excellence. The regi-
ment is in good shape and there is n
determination to put it still more to
the front as an organization of well
drilled and disciplined men. The lib
eral appropriation made by the last
legislature has permitted number
of much needed improvements to be
