That the melting of the SHOWS in the
mountains during the spring and early
summer causes large body Of water to
flow in the Wenas creek; that about
the middle OF June the waters begin to
subside more or less rapidly, dependent
upon the state of the weather, until it
reaches quite a low stage. Usually in
the months of July and August the creek
runs but small quantity Of water. l
am unable to state from the testimony
the exact amount, in inches. of water
that flows in Wsnas creek at any season
of the year.
"What is known as the west branch
of Wenas creek usually goes dry about

GIVING AND RECEIVING.

Is thy cruise of comfort wasting? Rise
and share It with another,
And through all the years of famine 1t
shall serve thee and thy brother;
Love divine will fill thy storehouse. or thy
handful still renew:
Scalty fare for one will often make a
royal feast for two.
For thy heart grows rich In giving; all its
wealth is living grain;
Seeds which mildew in the garner, scat
tered fill with gold the plain.
Is thy burden hard and heavy? Do thy
steps drag YEARLY?
Help to bear thy brothers burden; God will
bear both it and thee.
Numb and weary on the mountains,
would st thou sleep amidst the snow,
Chafe that frozen form beside thee, and to-
getter both shall glow.
Art thou stricken in life's battle? Many
wounded round thee.moan;
Lavish on their wounds thy balSamS, and
that balm shall heal thine own.
Is thy heart a well left empty? None but
God its void can fill;
Nothing but a ceaSeleSS fountain can its

Is thy heart a living power? Seif-entwined
its strength sinks low;
It can only live in loving, and by serving
love will grow.

hide here to-day and if those men come
back and camp here tonight, as TarboX
says they will, it's a pity if we can t
give them a dose of their own medi-
cinei"
I'm with you'll" cried Tarbox. Its
a. famous plan! They will never for n
minute suspect such thing!"
Count me in, tool" said Green, and
the others were equally as eager when
they understood the proposition.
Tom made his way at once to the hut
and secured. the revolver he had seen
there. It was not loaded, but he placed
it in his belt, hoping to find some cart
ridges at the camp to fit it.
"We might as well have bite TO
eat" said the capitalist, whose name
was Seymour. 81 haven't lost much,
and I confess that I am hungry. Miss
Avery, do you suppose you could give
US cup of coffee?"
There were plenty of provisions to be
had, and, in spite of their misfortunes,
they all ate a hearty breakfast. and felt
the better for it. When they had fin
ished, TarboX said:
''Now we must get out of sight and
keep a watch on the trail. I have no
idea they'll be along before late this
afternoon, but we'll take no chances.
This piece of woods runs so miles in
the direction they're taking, and they
can't get through it. They'll give it up
by noon and start back, thinking we are
gone"
Joe Tarbox proved a true prophet.
Hank Bowers and his companions spent
the forenoon trying to pass the wood,
and then the leader said:
SIT amt no use goin' any farther this
way. We might as well go back ter
their trail. Them fools has gone ter
Dyea as fast as their feet kin take 'em
ter try an find US. Come on"
He wheeled his horse as he spoke, and
the others followed his example. The
sun was below the horizon when the
tired animals once more entered the
track they had left that morning, and
Bowers hurried his along, remarking:
1--WE might as well git along ter ther
old hut agin, an camp ternight. tn
save Their bother of sticking out our tent
an cuttin' beds. Stir up those crit
tersi''
Half an hour later they had reached
| the spot where they left their prisoners.
II was deserted, and Bowers chuckled
| with satisfaction as he said:
Think of 'em trampin' for all they re
wutf am we with all their stuff"
AS he spoke he dismounted, and
added:

hut with us. / don't take no chances.
Wen STAN watch, too
After some trouble the horses were
led to the hut, the gold unloaded and
placed within. Then Bowers threw
himself on the pile of boughs. saying:
Come on, Turner, let's warm our
eyes I'm too sleepy ter eat. Rider,
you keep watch fer awhile, an then
wake one o us up"
Almost as he spoke he dropped asleep,
an example promptly followed by Tur-
ner, while Rider sat by the door yawn-
ing. Neither man had slept the night
before and soon his head began TO
droop.

A few weeks ago Gen. Lawton said
to Dean Worcester at Manila that he
had no fear in regard to death on
the battlefield, but his heart ached
when he reflected upon the needy con-
dition in which his wife and little chill
dren would be left were he killed.
His forebodings in their behalf have
been proved groundless by the hearty
gifts of the people, which have
reached the noble sum of sos, 0O0,-a
tribute to the memory of one of the
bravest and noblest types of soldierly
ability the nation has produced in all
its history

Avery could restrain himself no

"You dirty theft" he exclaimed. ST

ST dare say" was the mocking re-
Spouse as Bowers turned away, 'but
yer were too big fooli I wish yer all
better luck next time yer strike it rich.
Come on, boys, let's strike out for Dyea.
I'm in hurry to blow in some o this
dust"
The three men mounted their stolen
horses without further delay and hur-
ried away, leading the animals on
whose backs were the fortunes OF our
friends.
Five minutes later they had disap-
peared in the direction of Dyea, and the
despoiled men were being freed by
Clara Avery and a sharp knife.
Tarbox's first act was to spring to his
feet, exclaiming:
"Stay here until come backI won't
be long!"
AS he spoke he dashed off in the same
direction taken by the robbers. Half an
hour later he returned with his face
working strangely.
81 thought SOL" he cried as the others
clustered about him. cit was all a bluff
about going to Dyeal I smelt a rat as
soon as that cuss told US. 1t would be
too easy to trace them from there, and
they know it. They said it to get us to
go to Dyea while they made tracks for
Dawson and went round the other way
to Seattle. 1 saw them leave the trail
and strike off to the right"
where will they strike the trail
again." asked Tom, eagerly.
They'll come right back here as soon
| as we have had time to get out of the
way" was the confident reply. "They
may think they can circle round US, but

| that out after awhile and then they'll
come back this way, thinking we're
gone. It'll take 'em all day to do all

A new method of circulating the
Bible among the natives of the Philip
pine islands is projected by the Amer
Jean Bible society. Instead of de-
pending upon missionaries from the
United States native Taga1o and a
native Pangasinian are to be en-
ployed. They will go into the interior
of the country and will probably be
the first to carry books into the wilds

Some Failures of Washington Irving
as an After-Dfnner En-

Washington Irving was not ready
after-dinner speaker. The author of
American Bool1men" says that he
Stunned public appearances; yet when
Dickens came to New York, in 1912.
Irving could not escape presiding at the
great dinner in his honor. They had
already become friends through cor
respondence, but Irving's delight in
letter to the author, and Dickens, in his
enthusiastic response, had said:
"'Diedrich Knickerbocker' I have
worn to death in my pocket; and yet
I should show you his mutilated car
cass with JOY beyond expression"
The night of the public dinner came.
and Irving's dread of the Introductory
speech kept him murmuring through
out the repast: 81 shall certainly break
down."
At the proper time he rose to his feet,
began bravely, but could only utter a
few sentences, and ended by taking
refuge in the announcement of the
toast:
Charles Dickens, the guest of the
nation"
The applause was generous and Irv-
ing took his seat.
There" he said. 'I told you should
break down, and have done it!''
Later, while on his way to Madrid,
he found himself called upon, at the
dinner of the Literary Fund in Lon
don, to respond to the toast: wash
ington Irving and American Litera-
ture." All he could say, in acknowledge
ment of an enthusiastic reception, was:

4 widow. Eecentric Rite.

A lady in deep mourning some time
ago called upon the proprietor of a sgd
ney waxworks show and asked to be al
lowed every Sunday morning to place
clean white shirt on the figure OF her
husband (who had been hanged for
murder). Her request was granted.
and for close on six months she never
missed a Sunday. Then the visits
ceased, and no more was seen of the &C.

works man was standing at his door,
when she came along in gay apparel,
and explained that, as she had married
again, hubby No. objected to the little

CoURTING IN A HILL TOWN.
Where No HeartIess Apologize Can
Find Va1Or to Defend
Single Life.

We approve of marriage, of early
marriage, of hasty marriage, OF mar
rage without bank account. We have
no liberation for Keats. 1t was he who
wrote:
Love In hut with water and a crust.
Is-Love. forgive us.-cinders. ashes. dust"
Yes, but single life in Sweet Auburn
no heartless apologist has yet found
yalor to defend it. For then must one
retain as housekeeper some neat-hand-
ed Phyllis of debatable years. So why
not marry her and cut short her wages?
Or, a still more felicitous continuance,
why not marry at once and for youth
full love, and never hire any housekeep-
er at all? Besides, if you wait, the
merriest rosy-cheeked girls will be ir-
recoverably appropriated by your
countless rivals. The choice is small;
be quick. Indeed. it requires diligent
back-pedaling to avoid the brink of
matrimony. In town it is different.
Livery bills, florists bills, confection-
ers' bills, and the acquisitions of the
boX-of1ice-are not these the very bull
warks of celibacy? Here you take your
lady-love to prayer meetings, funerals
and fires. You and she go riding
ride, ride together, forever ride
and it costs you never pin. That
noble roadster, 10, he has names on all
four legs, and he lifts his hoofs with
the meditative precision of a Shang-
hal rooster, and-best of all-he is your
very own; no livery bills for him. And
when you visit the "cattle show" you
both go in on exhibitors tickets-she
by grace of gaudy crazy quilt, you
by courtesy of big pink squash.
Courtship is like intemperance. If
there existed no cheering draught save
imported champagne, then might we
all wear blue ribbons. It is Milwaukee
lager that adde's the national pate. If
there were only tall traps with red
wheels, or solely american beauties"
at three dollars a dozen, or exclusive
ly the choicest and costliest sweet
meats, or nothing but tickets to the
Gotterdamerung, then might we re-
main sOmber and unfeeling bachelors;
but prayer meetings, funerals and fires
make married men of us.-Rollin
Lynde Hartt in Atlantic.

Dietary studies made by the depart
ment of agriculture among negro
families in eastern Virginia show that
the average fuel value of the food con-
sumed is as large or larger than
among white families in moderate
circumstances in New York and New
England. Another strange fact de-
veloped is that the negro can live
much more cheaply than the average
white and yet get as much real bene-
fit from his meals.
