THE STORY OF THE KLONDIKE.

They are coming from the Klondike,
Loaded down with bags of gold;
Every day or two the story
Of the wonder is retold!
They are bringing home their fortunes
And the figures that they name
Make us stare and make us sorry
That we aren't in the game.
They are coming down from Dawson
To astound the toiler here;
They are coming home with money
To fling in the atmosphere;
They are keeping us excited
With the tales that they unfold,
And they fill our sleep with visions
Of alluring heaps of gold.
But for each who comes to tell us
Of the fortune that he found
There are hundreds who are digging
In improbable ground
Hundreds who, alone and hungry,
Labor on from day to day
Looking back and longing vainly
For the crusts they threw away.
They are coming with big, stories
Of the riches that they bear,
And their figures may be truthful,
But the bones that whiten there,
And the moaning and the yearning
Of the hundreds left behind
Tell a story that is truer
Of the treasures that they find.

gence Offices In them are kept the

five per cent. of her salary for one or
two years after securing a position.

schools and teachers all over the
country, and in this way a large num-

DANGER IN THE soft" DRINK.
Tea and Pop Debauches Have Before
Now Resulted Fatally.

Hard drinks have slain their thou
sands, but soft drinks have, neverthe-
less, contributed to the list of fatali-
ties Instances in proof of the danger
which lies in wait for the unwary alb
sorber of the latter class of rotations
are not wanting in recent revelations
of the news columns.
Not long ago man departed this
life in an eastern asylum because he
was Unfortunately Incorporate in the
use of tea. An incautious colored man
in Atlanta took a sip or two of do
nestle concoction of alum and water
Shortly afterward he took a fit and
gave up the ghost in great agony.
A more recent case is that of the
New York young man who died after
"pop" debauch. What small boy is
a stranger to the many-hued delights
of pop? It effervesces and tastes
like branchwater inadequately sweet
ened, but it has dubbed for long years
without being suspected of homicidal
tendencies. Until the fatal orgy of
the New York young man it's record
for harmlessness was unbroken. This
victim of the insidious 'pop," it is
claimed, filled his internal vacuum
with seventy bottles OF the dangerous
fluid per day. And he kept on loading
up at this rate for three days in sue
cession! Of course when such strain
as this was put upon his containing
capacity something had to pop; and
so the ''pop" drove the life out of him
and he went hence. Such is the fate
Of those who have not the strength of
mind to defy the tempter when he
comes clad in the seduct1veness of soft
drinks.
Not all have the physical strength
to resist the inroads of the inordinate
fizzicking to which these apparently
innocuous beverages subject the hui
man organism. If temptation comes
to the thirsty to drink immoderately of
tea, spiked lemonade or the colorful
pop" it should be stubborn1y and per-
sistently resisted, else the end will be
certain and the denouement sad.-St.

REGIMENT IN BAD TRIM.
Leutenant-Colonel Reads Report on
Second Artillery.

Lieut.-Col. rhilip Reade In a report
to the war department upon his IN
spection at Havana of the second az
tillery, finds much to condemn III Une
equipment of the troops and points out
shortcomings of a most serious cnar-
acter. He criticises the lack OF IN
struction in the use of small arms ana
the general neglect of target practlce'
Colonel Reade states that OF the l,o9o
men in the second artillery one man
only has seen active service. The
number in military service for less
period than one year is 1,O28. Prob

been no range, or time or opportunity
for instruction in small arms tlrlng by
the recruits of this regiment.

THE SORROWFUL TREE.
1t Grows in Persia and Blooms Only
at Night

There is tree in Persia to which
the name 'the sorrowful tree" is given.
Perhaps because it blossoms only in
the evening, says the Savannah News.
When the. first star appears in the
heavens, the first bud of the sorrowful
tree opens, and as the shades of night
advance and the stars thickly stud the
sky, the buds continue gradually open
ing until the whole tree looks like one
immense white flower On the ap-
proach of dawn, when the brilliancy Of
the stars gradually fades in the light
of day, the sorroWful tree closes It's
flowers, and ere the sun is fully risen,
not single blossom is visible. A
sheet of flower dust, as white as snow,
covers the ground around the foot of
the tree, which seems blighted and
withered during the day, while, how
ever, it is actively preparing for the
next nocturnal festival. The fragrance
of the blossoms is like that of the
evening primrose. If the tree is cut
down close to the roots, new plant
shoots up and attains maturity in an
incredibly short time. In the vicinity
of this singular tree there usually
grows another, which is almost an ex-
act counterpart of the sorrowful tree,
but less beautiful, and strange to say,
it blooms only in the day time.

AN ARIsTOCRATIC ROBBER.
He Lived in Great Style and Sur
rounded by Romance

The most famous bandit ever known
on the Santa Fe trail was Espinosa,
Spaniard, who at one time had great
wealth and lived in a hacienda on the
banks of the Rio Grande, near Santa
Fe, like one of the dukes of his native
country, says the Chicago Record. He
claimed descent from knight in the
army of Cortez, and the walls of his
house we're ornamented by ancestral
portraits painted by famous artists of
Spain. He had immense herds of sheep
and cattle, and upon his dukedom ruled
over several hundred poems, who re-
garded him as a king.
After the American occupation of
New Mexico Espinosa fell into bad
company. The newcomers taught
him new games and played him I'M
friendly tricks. They trespassed upon
his hospitality. They invaded his
hacienda, lived in luxury at his ex-
pense, drank his wine and ate his NUT
ton and then won his money atcards.
He lost so much that he became finan-
cially embarrassed and was compelled
to mortgage his herds. 1t was a
great modification to the proud Span
lard, and when it was too late he be-
gan to realize that he had been i'm
posed upon.
One day he made the acquaintance of
a rich young New Highlander, who had
come to Santa Fe with lot of money
to engage in business. The Yankee
visited the hacienda, and soon made
himself at home there. It was said
that he was in love with Donna Es-
pinosa, beautiful girl about Is years
of age, and that his affection was re-
deprecated. At one time when Esp1-
nosa was pressed for money the young
Yankee received a large remittance
from the East. He offered it to the
Spaniard, but the latter was too proud
to accept a loan from his sisters
lover The same night, however,
after he had retired, the young man
heard burglar in his room, and in the
struggle learned that the intruder was
no other than his host. Being dis
covered Espinosa drew a dagger and
plunged it into the Americans heart.
The members of the household came
rushing into the room just as the
victim was dying. He told them what
had happened, and the sister of the
murderer, throwing herself upon the
body of her dead lover, cursed her
brother as an assassin and a thief
The guests made no attempt to arrest
him, but Espinosa knew that he was
ruined, and in desperation abandoned
his ranch and fled to the Sagre de
Christie mountains, where he made his
headquarters for several years con-
Quoting successful raids on the over
land coaches and the freight caravans
along the Santa Fe trail, and robbing

THE DISAPPOINTED MAIDEN.

She answered no;
She stroked his head;
BE brave, for, oh,
You know" she said,
THAT even though
We may not wed,
We still-ah, yes!-we still may be
Good friends and true;
Your smile will still be sweet to me,
Fen when some other shares with
you
The noble love you nobly lay
At my disposal here today"
He sighed awhile,
And then forgot;
She saw him smile,
And grieved a lot.
She had not found that, after all,
Love for him loitered in her heart;
There was no word she would recall;
She had not played hasty part;
But he was brave; he did not go
Unto the dogs nor anywhere,
And she was deeply hurt, although
She had implored him not to care.

CUNNING NAVIGATING LIONS.

THE LATE COLONEL iNGERsoLL
His Experience AS a Soldier in the
Civil War

In an editorial on the death of Col.
Robert G. Ingersoll, the Greenville Is.
CO. News says
when the war broke out his patriot
ism landed him into the colonelcy of
the Eleventh Illinois cavalry. His
regiment got down into Tennessee, in
General Forests tramp1ng ground.
His command was sent out on picket
duty at a crossroads where there were
no Confederates, so far as Colonel In
gersOn knew, and he held the position
with great skill until Forest had some
use for that special road. He was sur
rounded Or cut off, or something else
happened, for he suddenly found him
self and his troops marching rapidly
to Forests headquarters under charge
Of a few squadrons of Confederate
cavalry, under command Of mere
youth, who wore the single star of a
major. The genial humor of Inger-
soil was shown when he reached the
headquarters of the Confederate
troops. When asked who was in COM
mand of the Union troops, Ingersoll
said that he didn't know.
you're a queer officer not to know
who is in command Of your forces,
said the Confederate general.
"I was in command an hour ago,
was the reply, but blamed if I know
who is now
"This incident satisfied the military
ambition Of Colonel IngersoH and he
quit the service

PAULINE HALL IN A TRUNK.

Pauline Hall recently sailed into At
lantic City in a trunk in order to
escape an injunction which had been
issued by a local court against the
opera house where she was engaged to
sing. The trunk was billed as con-
tanning costumes. Once inside the
theater, Pauline made a quick toilet
and appeared on the stage before a
large audience. Policemen guarded
the doors and the street in front of the
building to prevent a panic, so great
was the throng and so intense the ex-
element.

ten years of unparalleled outlawry he
was shot by an Irish trapper named

brought it to the authorities in an old

OUR FIRST ANNIVERSARY
ANACONDA OFFICE OF THE INTER
MOUNTAIN IS ONE YEAR OLD.

Today is the first anniversary Of tha
opening of the Anaconda office of the In
ter Mountain. One year ago today D.. r.
McRea of the firm of McRea-Davidson
Co., became a subscriber and has been a.
subscriber ever since then. Twelve
months ago today Willie e. Young was
employed as carrier No. 1 out of seven
regular carriers now delivering papers
to subscribers in all parts of the city and
at Carroll. Master Young is still with
the paper and upon the same route which
has%had as high as 235 papers. The sue
cess of the Inter Mountain has not conn
without labor and pains on the part of
those employed IN the paper, including
the carriers and even the newsboys who
appreciated it's merits and pushed it to
the full extent. The paper gained a large
circulation during the a times. 1t was
protested by many that. as soon as the
wal ended so would the circulation of the
Inter Mountain in Anaconda. Such was
not the case for the largest substitution
list attained was during the months of
October and November, 1898, when the
regular subscribers list reached nearly
1,700 besides the number sold by the
neWsboys on the street. The highest
NUMBER OF papers received in any one day
during the year was 3, 000 copies and they
were disposed of in less than 80 minutes.
The subscription list has at all times
more than met the expectations of those
interested. The people of Anaconda, all
classes, have been exceptionally courteous
to the local staff and many favors for
news items both large and small as we'll
as a liberal patronage is manifestedly
acknowledged. There is one motto with
the Anaconda office and that is I'VE never
rest until every news item has been gath
cred in and printed for the benefit of the
subscribers.' AS a result the Inter Noun
tain is the only paper which prints "all
the Anaconda news all the time and to-
days news today" The Inter Mountain
is almost Indispensable in every home in
Anaconda where they are impartial and
want to read all the home news. Even
the man who is impartial and will have
the news at any cost purchases the Inter
Mountain when he wants all the home
news but this class of men are never
counted on the regular subscription list
but he adds his mite to the success of the
paper for which thanks are extended.
The policy of the paper is conservative
and has always worked faithfully for
every interest of benefit to the city. The
greatest praise has been received for it's
editorial columns which with the press
