SUNRISE IN THE KLoNDIKE.
The Appearance of Old Sol Gives Joy
and Pleasure.

Joaquin Miller, in Leslie's Monthly.
1t never crossed my mind before.
but now in this dead calm that has fol-
lowed a month of stormy stampedes
and eXcitRments / have a mind to
risk the prude's displeasure and be
bit boyish-eYen childish. 1 have not
plucked any roses for long time; nor
sat in the sunlight for months and
months. I have only seen q single
gleam of sunlight for a few minutes
at the mouth of Eldorado on a high
hill top opposite, and ran the very
breath out of me to try and photograph
it and keep it with me. But the sun
Is getting in his wedge of gold now
bit, Just little bit further in between
these black blocks of night, every day.
To my boundless delight, the sun at IL
m. today fell like a halo on the head
of great mountain peak across the
Klondike, and, forgive my folly, /
started to try and reach it, Silly? OF
course; that is conceded. But, frankly,
l would have gone through fire, floods,
anything that man might pass, at al
most any price, TO feel, to touch. to
make familiar with once more a little
bit of real, solid sunlight.
It was a half mile hard run down
The sled trail TO the Klondike-then not
any trail at all, only the Icy river,
with it's great uplands OF blocks and
dips and spurs and angles OF broken
Ice. The lion was asleep. so fast asleep!
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-01-21

This stormy and swift little river that
has shaken the whole world for q year,
as the roar OF the lion might startle the
Arabs in the desert, was utterly dead
as IL this snow to your waist was its
shroud and the granite walls OF the
canon its coffin. Not ripple OF water
In the ice, under the ice, or anywhere.
These strange rivers freeze from the
bottom, not from the top, like other
well-regulated rivers. They freeze
first at the mouth, gorge and block up
there first, not at the source, as other
rivers. This is because the whole un-
der world here Is solid ice all sum-
mer and all winter-all the year.
1 climbed from ice point to ice point.
The winds had blown the highest bare.
In some places the snow was solid as
floor; in others soft and dusty, up
to the waist. But it was great fun
to wallow through this from point to
point till the further shore of this dead
river in it's shroud and coffin was
reached, and then the climb! The
Klondike is wide, but not deep. 1
waded 1t in top boots, dry-footed, many
times last summer. The snOwshoes
had not been thought of this winter
day. What could anybody think of
but the newborn baby sunlight and
the hope of standing once more with
the sun on the mountain top The
climb was hard and steep and hazar-
dous. ] made my way up from one
clump of trees to another. The snow
is not deep under the trees. / took off
my fur coat, unbuttoned my skin vest,
frightened my belt, and at last, breath
less, wet all over, stood-stood where
the sun had been. Away over yonder,
down the Yukon. on the topmost peak
of far out-reachlng spur of the Rocky
mountains, where the snow is always,
there my great golden eagle rested.
His plumes were folded, fading, and he
was gone in sudden swoop before the
pursuing night.
Ever thus! This is the story of life
! We may climb from peak to peak and
still the golden sunlight goes ever on
| before. q pillar of fire that we may
never lay hands upon. And who would
have it otherwise A savage, a dog
NAV await for the sun to come to
him, and bask in it. but he will still
be a savage, a dog. 1t is the endeavor,
the aspiration, that makes manhood.
Better to be beaten in any battle of
| life than never to have lifted your
/ face to combat at all. Ay, ever have
! dared to do Just foolish ventures. if
/ you choose to call them foolish, looking
for the light, the high, bright light
above, rather than the blackness be-
low. And this has kept me young and
strong and eXultant.

TWO LILIES.

ON the bosom of river,
Flowing onward to the sea-
on the ripples, laughing ever,
Bounding forward, gay and free
Lay two lilies,
SpOtless lilies,
Dancing always in their glee.
Sister lilics were these flowers,
Culled from off the same green stem.
Side by side i'm hidden bowers.
Bloomed these lilies, scenting them.
Happy lilies!
Stainless lilies,
Purcr iar than many a gem.
But the water found them hiding
Near the willow on its shore;
And it c.asped them, onward gliding
Thro' the spray and waters roar.
Frightened lilies!
Paling lilies,
For they shall return no more.
Yet the wavclets graspcd them tightly
And they chased away all fear.
Till again they tripped on lightly,
Laughing i'm their gay career.
Dancing lilies!
Happy lilies!
Once SO mournful, once so drcar.
Thus does joy give way to sorrow;
Then again the day is bright:
Sad today IL glaO tomorrow,
IirC the sunshine comes the night.
As the lilies,
Trembling lilies,
Passed from darkness into light.
Proctor Wadsworth Hansel in the Via
torian.

COMMON SENSE CURE
PYRAMID PILE CURE CURES PILES
PERMANENTLY BY CURING
THE CAUSE.
Remarkable Remedy Which Is
Bringing Comfort to Thous-
ands of Sufferers.

Probably half the people who see this
article suffer from piles. 1t is one of
the commonest diseases and one of the
most obstinate. People have 1t for
years and Just because IL is not i'm
mediately fatal they neglect it. Care
lessness causes no end of suffering.
Carelessness about 80 simple a thing
as piles has often caused death.
Hemorrhages occur from no apparent
cause and loss of blood causes death,
Hemorrhages occur during surgical
treatment, often causing death.
Piles are simple in the beginning and
easily cured They can be cured even
in the worst stages, without pain OF
loss of blood, quickly, surely and COM
pletely. There Is only one remedy that
will do it-Pyramid Pile Cure.
1t allays the Inflammation immedi-
ately, heals the irritated surface and
with continued treatment reduces the
swelling and puts the membranes into
good, sound, healthy condition. The
cure is thorough and permanent.
Here are some voluntary and unso-
licited testimonials we have lately re-
ceved:
Mrs. NJ. C. Hinkley. Col Mississippi
St, Indianapolis, Ind, says: Have
been a sufferer from the pain and an
noyance of Piles for fifteen years, the
Pyramid Pile Cure and Pyramid Pills
gave me immediate relief ard in a
short time a complete cure.
Major Dean,of Columbus, Ohi2, says:
I wish to add to the number of certifl-
Gates as to the benefits derived from
the Pyramid Pile Cure l suffered from
piles for forty years and from itching
piles for twenty years, and two boxes
of the Pyramid Pile Cure has effect.
ually cured me.
Most druggists sell Pyramid Pile
Cure or will get it for you if you ASK
them to. 1t is one dollar per package
and it is put up only by the Pyramid
Drug Co.. Marshall, Mich.

take. lie went to hotels and offered to
cook, carve. sweep, run errands or
clean boots and knives.
He would tell the managers that his
friend, Mr.. - (yours truly, would
pay a premium for him if they would
take him in. He made this sEitement
on his own responsibility and without
my authority. so that it was not with
out surprise that l received a letter
from one hotelier agreeing to accept
Mr.. Karl Bronner as a sort of pupil on
payment of $50, and enclosing a form
of contract for me to sign. And, truly,
l was near to signing both the agree
ment and n check for the amount
named for l felt that it would almost
be worth the money to be freed from
my "old man of the sea-"
But az last relief came. Karl burst
into my room. danced madly round and
round, waved his hat in the air, and
shrieked triumphantly:
Il have done it, have done it,"
And he fell upon my neck and wept
for JOY.
what have you done?" 1 asked, full
of a new hope that was too sweet to
nourish for fear of the disappointment
that might follow
"A situation" he cried. Yes, a fine
situation" And he seized me by both
hands and shook them heartily.
'All by myself l did it; all by my
self. ] went into an hotel near Char
ing Cross and ] said VIII you have
me here as waiter?' and the manager
he say: Can YOU wait at table? and I
say Yes and he say: 4 have sent
two walters away today. ] will take
you if you give me a good reference,
and it is done. oh, | am so happy. |
go tomorrow to the tailor, who shall
cut away the sides of my frock coat so
that it is like n walters coat. Ach

taken with a serviette on my arm, and
l send it to the good people at INTER

hotel. Oh, how l am proud My friend,
we Will drink a bottle of wine-thc
best champagne, yes, for this happy
| day, You can send out for one now.
l will ring the bell for the servant"
The next Monday he went to install
himself at his hotel. The mere fact
that, instead of comfortably walking
into the post of manager to the Met
ropOle, he had dropped into the posi-
ton Of waiter at q third-rate French
hotel, was no drawback to his unbound
ed satisfaction in himself. He went of
jauntily and radiant, and | saw no
more of him for two months. Then he
appeared one morning in light check
