ALAsKA's WORST STORM.
wrought Havoc Along Line of White
Pass & Yukon Road.

E. c. Hawkins, general manager of the
White Pass & Yukon railroad, has received
a letter from Chief Clerk /. w. Young CIV
ing an account Of the storm which prevailed
recently along the line of the road from
Skagway to Bennett. While the blockade
has been broken and trains are. now rum
ming again, 1t was still in full force at
the time the letter was written, December
20.
''During the latter part of the afternoon
Of Tuesday" the letter says, the rotary
with two engines and the passenger train
behind her were on this side of Log Cabin
on their way to Skagway. We did not hear
from them for several hours when mes
senger was sent back with report that
snow slide had buried the rotary and the
engine, breaking the windows in both cabs
At this time the wind was blowing howl
ing gale, snow flying In all directions and
here in Skagway one could hardly see $50
feet away. -
Between the tunnel and the Glacier there
are some terrible slides of what is reported
to be snow, rocks and trees, making 1t
necessary for the rotary to come very slow
ly. AS far as Is known In Skagway there
has never been anything like this storm
before But from what / have seen OF the
rotary Ii can eat more snow than can be pill
ed on the track between Skagway and Ben
nett. Trees and stones of course have to be
cared for in another way. But outside Of
these the rotary is worth 500 men"

Saturday. At the time OF his disappear
ance he had on his person a draft for
$500, which was cashed the same day at
the First National bank by a man giving
his name as Charles Nelson. The draft
was apparently Endorsed by Hansen. Nell
son has not been located.
Yesterday the disappearance was report
ed to the police, and Detective Cudihee de-
tailed on the case. While Hansens friends
are afraid that he has met with foul play,
this opinion Is not shared by the police,
who believe that he has been bunkoed our

the city upon some pretext.
Hansen Ia a Klondiker, having recently
come down from Alaska.

THE PERSIAN KAsxs..


0btainsA and Eaten.
Tho food Of the Persians is very varied.
Asa rule the very poor do not get meat
moro than once . week, while villagers
and the nonadic tribes sss 1t very rarely
and only on great occasions, a. at mar.
riage fessts. The ordinary diet of labor
ing man Is bread and cheese IN winter
bread and fruit in summer. But even the
laborers manage to secure an occasional
bowl OF strong soup and then vary their
diet with conserves, dried fruits, basins. of
curds and hard boiled eggs Ihe actual
weight OF bread that muleteer on laborer
can consume daily Is very great, seven
pounds not being an extraordinary allow
ance. In the south of Persia dates arc the
staple food. They are very cheap ard sat
isfying. During the summer lettuces,
grapes, apricots, onions and cucumbers
form the dainties Of the villagers, and
these, with bread, cheese and ourtls are
their only food In every large town
cookshops abound. Sheep are roasted
whole In ovens and sold hot by the slice
The sleeps head and feet are boiled sep.
arateiy, and their preparation and sale are
. tIauc Ill tHellSelVeS.
But the edible most In favor among all
classes in Persia Is the kabab j. There are
two varieties of kabab. One is made from
mince mutton, which is chopped with
few onions into q paste fine az sausage
meat, carefully nodded over a skewer,
toasted over fierce charcoal fire and sold
and eaten hot. This is the kabab of the
bazaar, the delicacy of the lower classes
AT tho dinner hour (srnset} and at the
breakfast hour Qoon) crowds surround
the shops Of the kabab sellers. Each man
CARRIES his bread, which Is usually flexi-
BILE loaf two feet long, one foot wide and
half an inch thick Tho customer wraps
his kababs, hot from the fire, in his bread
and either sits down and cats it then and
there or takes the meal home to his family.
In any case a hot dinner of roast meat
can DO obtained at from cents to IL
cents, for the price of single skewer of
the steaming delicacy Is but a cent. Jars
containing about half pint Of hot, strong
and savory meat soup arc sold for cent.

THE TRAMP PRINTER.
His Desperate Encounter with the
Editors Fearfully written COpy.

"Speaking of handwriting, '|said all old
newspaper man, the worst in the protes.
sion since tho Greeley myth was that of
Colonel j. y. Barton. The colonel was
southern man. He died in Alabama in
1897, and years ago he Was famous
throughout tho middle west as an editorial
writer OF great power and versatility. The
queer thing about him WAS that his nor
NAL penmanship looked almost like copper
plata beautiful flowing script-but let
him get excited or hurried, and it double
discounted tho excited chicken tracks on

"There used to be q funny story about
him current among printers, and I'll tell
1t for what it il worth. One night, nc
cording to tho yarn, IA tramp printer drift
eel into western office whcre the colonel
was in charge and applied for a job The
foreman put him to work, and he begged
along all right until just before the hour
for going to press, when Barton sent in
hurry up editorial based on a late news
telegram. Nearly all tho printers had
left SO he now man got piece of the
copy, a page from abou" the middle. He
carried IL to his case, looked al it frown-
ingly, turned it upside down, looked at it
again and finally put it in poqition before
him and began to snatch up type. Read
that in your sticks! yelled the foreman
we ain t got no time for proofsl' And
when the new man carried his matter over
it was dumped into tho forms without
further ceremony.
what he had set up ran about like this:
