WAGES JOKE.

During the greater part of January the
miners of the Klondike district believed
that a bloody war was in progress be-
tween Sweden and Norway. The number
of Swedes and Norwegians among the
miners is great and bad blood existed be-
tween them because of the supposed wal
of the fatherlands.
There were several on the
creeks, in which more or less blood was
shed. The story of war between Sweden
and Norway was brought in by Count
Carbonneau, a Frenchman, who reached
Dawson early in January, the first man
to push through over the ice. He sald
the war began three weeks before he left
Vancouver and that the Geographic re-
ports told of engagements almost daily.
The count told how ~indignities had been
heaped upon the smaller nation on a ques-
ton of precedence at the opening OF par
lament and how the Norwegians arose
in a body and defied their powerful mas
ters. Then Norway was in arms and de-
clared for freedom.
The story was not finally denied until
| January 90. The news was gladly re-
| ceived by the Swedes and Norweglans
| and their friendship was restored. In the
meantime the story had gone on down tne
Yukon to Eagle City, Forty Mile ano
Circle City. In these places the yarn Is
probably still accepted as truth.

MORE PENNIES.

New York Times: Over in Brooklyn
there is a lumber dealer who has learned
what 1T is to lave too much of a good
thing. He has occasional use for pennies.
He also has among his customers a man
who makes hand organs for the use of
the street beggars. To this maker of Ital-
ian street musicians supplies he had
successfully applied on several occasions
for pennies in small amounts. A week
or so after the last of these applications
the hand organ maker drove up to the
office of the lumber merchant, and with
much effort managed to haul into the
office a nose bag such as horses are fed
from when standing on the street. There
was a smile of satisfaction on the face
of the O~rganmaker as he lifted the bag
and pumped it with a resounding
metallic clang on the desk of the mer-
chant.
You like the pennies" he said, cordial
ly, as he beamed upon the lumberman.
~ have here $500 of them. How you
like?' And he fairly bubbled over with
good nature.
/ AS it wouldn't do to offend a good Gus
toner, the lumberman took the pennies
and passed over the bills for them. But
he took good care to let his customer
know that he wouldn't need any more
small change for a year or two and that
he might find some other place in which
to unload the pennies of the organ grind
ers in the future.

than during many decades of the years
that have passed. Today practical uses
have been found for the airship that, a
few years ago, would have been regarded
as the widest dreams of the maddest of
inventors and men of conservative
thought now admit that there is no limit
to the possibilities that have been opened
by these modern achievements in this
line of study.
The reason for this success is that the
inventors have of late been pursuing
their studies upon very different methods
than those followed by the scientists Of a
generation or two ago. They no longer
attempt to do away with the balloon,
u are content if they can but find some
means of directing their airship in it's
