Harvest on the Yukon.

It was just on the eve of harvesting
time when I first visited the creeks
saws writer in Scribner's, describing
visit up the Yukon river. In day
or two the flow of water from the
gulthes where the snow lay thickest
would make head sufficient to wash
the yellow grain out of the dumps. In
the four mites of Eldorado and the ten
miles of Bonanza lines of fumes and
their dependent sluice boxes the
lumber for which had been dragged
from the Dawson sawmill by husky
dogs or cut with whipsaws-formed 20
network around the string OF cabins
occupied by claim owners and their
workman, and around piles of clayish-
colored dirt, thawed out inch by inch
during the short winter days, which
contained virgin wealth amounting to
nearly SO, 600, 600. - 8 :
If You descended by the ladders
into the holes beside the dumps to the,
drifts you soon comprehend that reap
ing the harvest, once you have claim,
is not so easy as picking wild cram
berries. 1t is dogged work to; build
fires day after day, running the risk
of suffocation and permanent, injury
to the eyes by the smoke, and pulling
up the dirt, bucketful after bucketful,,
by means of q windlass, with the tier
mometer forty below zero and your

thick that you can pick them out by
hand rs farmers boy picks potatoes
out of hill. In iuxtaposition there
may be as many more square feet
which are not considered worth :thaw-
ing and sluicing, and SO the drifts seem
like the path OF the man trying to
make his way to the light in dark
ness.

caehets amid which it has lain for
years, have it forth and turn it into d
gown. A white silk gown with ah
overskirt mado of such shawl is the
most medish aud sumptuots dinner
toilet possible at present, and if you
wish to realize what a treasure you
posssss in your shawl just go to a
dressmaker and price costume with
such a drapery. She will ask you
from $500 to $500 for the toilet, the
price dependent upon the size and
ripe beauty of the shawl drapery.
About skirt of pale cloth or silk
the shawl is invariably hung in a
series of points and the fringe and
beautiful embroidery suffice for dec
oration. The most perfectly gowned
brides of the season are going to the
altar in dresses made from their
mothers or grandm others shawls and
the bodices are skillfully worked up
from small fringed shoulder shawls.
Agoodly Number of dresses simu-

deft uss of crepe de chine edged with
fringe and overlaid with ribbon flow:

beneath the fringed points of the
overdress swirl out, about the feet,
waves of soft chiffon founces.
Having touched on the question of
bridal chiffons, it is only right to add,
now that the wedding seasons on, all
bridesmaids will appear in gowns of
transparent white stuff over slips Of
gay silk, and the flower for the we'd:
dingof '99 will be lilac blooms for the
bride and the pale mnuve lilac blooms
for the maids. The groom must wear
tuft of white lilac in his buttonhole,
and the best man and every usher will
accept his buttouhole favor from the
family tinted, rarely perfltmed bou-
quets of the maids in waiting. The
slip beneath the silk veil, net, chiffon
or liberty gauze draperies of the
bridesmaids dress is most apt to be
wrought Of that soft. brilliant and
most popular fabric called taffeta
mousseline. 1t is used, by the way,
q deal for trimming and for the points
of chiefest honor in the structure of
many smart and special toilets.

WHEN a crowd of citizens of Beech

about to set fire to it, they learned
that the edifice had just been insured
in view of this very contingency. They
accordingly chopped the church to
pieces, taking care that no piece of
timber could be used again, and if
none of the splinters are used to make

Illinois," the Palladium says: Every
citizen living in Pana knows what he
did for labor here. Instead of helping
the locked-out coal miners in their
struggle for living wages. he sent
some two or three hundred state ma
litia here to protect the operators in
operating their mines, during which
time some five or six hundred nom
union negro miners were shipped in
and were protected by the militia
There were six soldiers designated as
the 'trusty six whose duty it was to
be at the depot for every incoming
train and guard every negro that
landed TO one or the other of the mines.
Negroes would parade down the
streets full of whisky, daring white
union miners to fight them, and from
two to four soldiers following to pro-
tect them. and while the city was
under martial law the city officials
hands were tied and they could do
nothing, and the soldiers would do
nothing, consequently Tanners pro-
lection of labor not only put the coal
miners but also every other citizen at
the mercy of 500 debauching negroes
and soldiers. These are cold facts
that can be sustained by hundreds of
our best citizens. Besides all this, he
openly declared in the presence of
forty of Pana's best citizens that he
would protect the operators at Pana
in the operation of their mines if it
took every militiaman in the state to
do it. In the face of all these facts
there are some few of his paid under
strappers who want to make it appear
that John K. Tanner is a friend to the
laboring man. Thankful, however,
there are very few coal miners that
are so weakminded as to allow the
wool to be pulled over their eyes in
such a manner. -
