THE RUSH FOR CAPENOMEI
Outgoing Steamers Are Crowded
With Men Seeking Fortunes.
More Than $4,000 Gold Seekers Will
Have Reached There by the End Of
JuIy-A "Hot" Camp Expected.

Tacoma, Wash. (SpeciaD. first
and biggest part of the Cape Nome
rush is over. 80 far as the departure
Of 10000 gold seekers from Tacoma
and Seattle is concerned. The argo-
nauts have come from the four cor
ners of the earth. Miners from far
away Australia have mingled with
their fellows from South America,
South Africa, and every mining State
and Territory Of the Union on the
streets Of the Puget Sound cities dur
ing the past month. They were all
headed the same way-for the golden
beaches and tundra stretching along
Bering Sea between Cape Nome and
Cape York.
Since April Is no less than fifty-two'
parted from Puget Sound for the north
parted from uget Sound for the north
ern gold fields. These vessels have
taken northward just about 10000
men and women. Most of the steam
ships will make second and some Of
them third trips, making, at conser-
vative estimate, the number from Pu-
get Sound alone 10000 to $4,000. The
rush from California and down the
Yukon from Dawson will easily bring
the total number Of newcomers to be
landed at Nome during the next sixty
days to above 25,000.
1t goes without saying that Nome
will soon be the hottest" mining
camp ever seen in the United States
or American territory. The miners
themselves look forward to this.
Many Of the old-timers glory in the
fact that they are to participate in
one Of the widest scrambles for
wealth that the world has ever seen.
Other things point in the same dlrec-
ton. BY the middle of June Nome
will have enough "resorts" in opera
tion to put Deadwood, Leadville or
Butte to the blush.
Ordinary supplies have, of course,
not been overlooked, else this vast
throng Of humanity would soon be
foodless and shelterless. Lumber and
other building materials. food and
clothing supplies aud mining appara-
tus to the value of over $5,000,000
comprise the cargoes Of the ffty-two
vessels already sailed. Seafaring
men are wondering what will result
when all these craft reach Nome and
attempt to unload their cargoes, both
human and freight, at one time,
through the heavy surf. That some
of the sailing vessels will be wrecked
is considered very probable. At least
the loss Of some Of their cargo is likely
on account of the grave difficulties ex.
perienced in unloading by means OF
lighters.

NY little one with flushed and troubled face
Sat by my study table, toitng late
Oer strange white creatures scrawled upo3
her slate;
And oft did she erase,
With sighs, the nameless figures that she
drew, INK.
And ON the clouded slate began anew.
The damp curls tumbling down
Yexed her hot face, but still she wrought,
Her velvet forehead rump!ed In frown,
Nor aid OF me besought.

I sat and watched her with a hidden smile,
Marking each line the while, ...
With wistful thought to help the little one.
But what she sought to draw
never under heaven saw!
At length she raised her little grieved, hot
face
And tear-dimmed eyes,
Nor spoke, but brought the slate and climbed
my knee
So trustful wise, ~ .
And gave the blunted pencil unto me
And nestled down In her accustomed plaos.
Then did understand,
And In the wee soiled hand
Replaced the pencil, while my own
Ciasped the tired fingers And drew
The finest horse l knew
Such as my babe had sought to draw alone.
SO was she happily content,
And smiling to her waiting mother went
Not otherwise, love to think,

A Fsrm..sr.s Expsrlmsntal Plot.

Every farm. tos great extent, is al
institution 5y sbself The successful
farmer must not onl thoroughly un
derstand his bnsinAsa bnt must be
constantly studying aud learning from
experience of himss and from scien'
tiGc experim ents fesearches made
by specialists. fe INST keep up with
the times. Ever season he must be
better farmer fhan the previous one.
He must be abls to say he has learned
something that will make his business
more profitable, either by lessenine
the cost of production or the improve.
ment of the quality of the produce OF
his farm. For this reason he should
be able to know what his farm is best
adapted to raising.
It would pay any farmer to have an
experiment acre on his farm. This
should be of soil that most nearly rep
resents his farm, and not selected be-
cause of its depth or richness. As all
plots about well-kept farm, it should
have a neat fence that will turn oil
stray cattle, pigs or chickens that
might chance to get beyond their own
forage fields. The ground should be
carefully layed off in plots, with walks
and paths between the sections. 1t
should be mapped and planned each
season before planting time, and then
layed out in strict accord to the plans
made. A record book should be kept,
each section, bed or row numbered
and everything concerning it during
the season should be jotted down for
future reference. One seasons study
of plant will usually show whether
it would pay,to raise it extensively or
whether it would not pay at all.
There are also new methods of tend
ing the plants already familiar with,
which can be tested in the expert
mental plot before old and tried
methods are abandoned.
The studying of books and journals
devoted to the farming interest will
suggest items which the farmer may
desire to test before introducing on
his farm. He can iot it down on page
of his record book devoted to new ex-
perinents and make his plans accord
inely to accommodate it the following
wear. Of course, lie will not be able
to try everything he might desire to,
but he can pick out the most impor-
tant from the list each year.
Nor need the plot be all expense
without return. A well-conducted
plot will be self-sustaining. The
kitchen table, the poultry yard, sets
and tubers and seeds for the next sea-
son, all can come in on the profit side
of the balance sheet, at the end OF
the year. The experiment acre will
be Of the greatest benefit not only to
the farmer himself, but to all his
neighbors as we'll. By keeping in
touch with the State and Governmental
experimental stations and running O
miniature station of his own, the far
mer will not only save himself many
expensive mistakes but will learn
many things that will mean goodly
addition to his yearly income aud add
TO the value of his farm. j. L. Irwin,

Life has another color and another end
because it has another hope. when we know
for certainty that the Lord has risen from
the dead. We are assured OF another world,
OF the blessed departed, Of the Immortal
soul, OF the victory OF holiness. We go on
our way to commonplace duties and varied
trials, but we are encompassed With cloud
of witnesses, we are rs-eniorced by heavenly
grace, we travel beneath an open heaven,
we see our Lord at the right hand Of God.
Our faces are now set steaitastly to 90 UP

which is over. but to the glory OF the victory
which Christ has achieved; AMI. as each one
