Who collars all my scanty pay,
And with my little plans makes hay?
Who says Mamma has come to stay:
Who takes away my easy chair
Because lit has no business there,
And only says she doesn't care?
Who says she hasn't got a gown,
And wants to put the horses down.
And thinks we'd better live i'll town!
Who commanders my only hack,
Returns him with bad sore back,
And says the little beast is slack:
Who thinks that I must ride bike,
AND makes me do what | don't like,
And tells me if / don't, she'll strike!
And when I'm feeling sad and low,
Who sympathZes with my woe,
And softly breatheS Il told you so?'

DAWSON BEEF SHIPMENT.
II. I. MILLER TO DRIVE 100 STOCK
OVER THE ICE TO IxLONDIKE.
Thinks the Cattle Can Travel the
Yukon Trail-Hay to he Hauled by
Horses-Base of Supplies mt Hoo
talinqua--sfay Have to Butcher.

with the sole exception of the Pierre
Humboldt expedition OF 1897, which did
not succeed, the largest winter shipment
of beef cattle TO the Klondike is to be
undertaken in about ten days by II. J..
Miller, the well-known Alaskan opera
tor. 1t is his purpose to attempt to drive
$50 head Of heavy beeves over the Yukon
Ice to Dawson. Miller arrived at this de-
cision within week past, and he an
nounced yesterday that the cattle would
be put aboard northbound steamers about
January 20. His plan is to transport the
cattle by steamers from here to Skagway
and thence by rail to Bennett, from
which point the drive Is to begin.
Jack Carr Is now engaged In similar
undertaking. except that he will begin
his drive at Skagway, which involves
the difficult feat of taking his drove over
the White pass.
Miller believes Carr will succeed and
he says ne has fewer misgivings as TO
the success of his own venture. He will
have forty head OF horses, which are to
be used in the transportation of feed for
the cattle, and about twenty-five assist
ants and drivers. His further plans con-
template base of supplies for the cat
tie at Stewart river and Fort Selkirk. At
both points he has more or less baled
hay stored, which obviates the necessity
of his transporting many tons OF feed.
than Is generally supposed" Miller said
in discussing his venture. Il think the
cattle can be driven all the way from
the fact that the ice is covered with
snow. hard packed on the trail, which
cutting their feet so they cannot travel.
OF course, the thing is In the nature of
an experiment. but ! believe we can
succeed. But should the drive prove Inn
possible. we will butcher The beeves and
sled their carcasses to Dawson. AS for
the time II will take. that depends en-
tireIy upon circumstances. 1t may be
possible to make 1t in thirty five or forty
days.
I'm case we get there in good season
and find a favorable market, it is my
purpose to come right out and drive
probably 100 cattle, as far as the Hoota-
iinqua, reaching that point toward the
latter part Of April, By which time the
river from there to Dawson will be nav
igable. enabling us to make the rest of
the journey on scows: The second ship,
undertake Cape Nome shipment of
cattle, as I announced some days ago."
