An cd pioneer gold-hunter was
speaking of his early-day California
acquaintances.
'sNow tha wuz old Andy Shanks,"'
he said. "Knowed old Andy better
than knowed my grandmother, an
/ reckon thar never wuz falrer,
squarer, an more honorable man
than he war. An conscientious! Why,
Andy wuz SO skeered of intrudin' on
other people that he'd ruther give
away a foot of his own rights than to
chance sloppin' over inch on some
body eIses. Wouldn't wrong nobody
out O. nothin' for 'nothin' on earth if
he knowed it.
"Member one time somebody stole
gold nugget from Andy. Don't
recollect just how it wuz, but in some
way it 'peared powerful plain that old
Sam Woods war the thief. Andy was
SO plumb shore of it that he jest took
his gun an went out an shot old Sam
down. That thar wuz oil right an
proper enough, and didn't nobody
think nothin' of it.
"'Bout week later, though, it
come out that old Sam want the
thief, an that it war one O. them dog
goned onery Digger 1njuns what stole
the nugget. When Andy found ont
bout this he war plumb sorry that
he'd killed old Sam, an took it to
heart dreadful.
Boys he says to us, 4 never
wuz so cut up bout nothing in all my
life as am bout shootin' OF Sam.
Why, I'd actually a ruther lost twie e
that much gold than to "a killed Sam

"We tried to chirk Andy up, tellin'
him it war all jest mistake, but he
didn't seem to feel satisfied bout it.
He mout IA took more cheerful view
of the matter if it hadn't been tina
Sam had wife in the camp. Andy
seemed TO kind of pity her, an he
wuz so doggoned conscientious that
he felt like he owed her somethin
for deprIvin' her of husband. Sam
war no good, an we didn't feel that
his wife had lost no great shakes IN
losin' him, an we told Andy so, but
he wouldn't look at it in that way He
lowed even if Sam want no count,
| his wife valued him up right smart,
| an he war bound to value him at her
tiggers.
"Waal, Andy studied the matter
over for a while, then one day he
went down to see the wider bout it.
Mrs. Woods, he said, I'm plumb
downright sorry bout the way done
Sam, but of co'se you understand that
1t war all material mistake that any
body was liable to make, an thar ain I
no use, so fer as kin see, in grievin

wider asked.
'Thar amt but one thing I kin

Some grocers are so short sighted as to ecne to
keep the Ivory Soap claiming it does not pa as much
profit as inferior qualities do, if your regular grocer
refuses to get it for you there undoubtedly others
who recognize the fact that the increased volume of
business done by reason Of keeping the best articles
more than compensates for the smaller profit and will
take pleasure in getting it for you.

A new method for overcoming sleep
lessness has been suggested by Pro-
fessor j. H. Baldwin. 1t consists in
trying to picture another person as
asleep. The more clearly the other
PERSONS sleep is pictured, the stronger
becomes the subjective feeling of drow-
siness.

The Nome Gold Fields.

The first map folder or circular re-
specting the Klondike gold strike Of
1893 was issued by the Northern Paci-
fic Railway. lis more than coin
cidence that the first map folder or
pamphlet of the Nome mining district
comes from the same source. The
present folder not only contains q
GOOD map of the Nome district but is
embellished with several cuts OF views
at Nome City and on the beach where
the method of mining is clearly shown.
All information obtainable reg arding
sailing dates from. Seattle and Taco
ma, through rates, ETC., is given IN
this book and the public cautioned to
90 to the agents of the N. p. Ry.,. who
are supplied with diagrams OF the
Alaska Steamers, and arrange IN adj
vance for their accommOd atoms rather
than to put off this very import ant
business until they reach Puget Sound.
There is no doubt but what there will
be very considerable passenger busi-s
ness from the middle and eastern
states and very heavy business from
the Pacific Coast States to the Nome
district next spring.
For folders, rates, ETC., call on VA

Tcoxr1NUED FROM FIRST pAGEl

ent money to build what roads
are required in his township. But
as these sources are receiving so
many applications Of this kind, to
comply with all is impossible. On
the other hand, there are ways
available BY which each township
could build what roads are neces-
sary and good ones too, if they
as indiyidualscitizens would work,
vote and act unitedlY for that OBJ
ject.
One way, and to our minds the
best way, to get the money with
which to build roads in new
country, is for each organized
township and those that are not
organized as soon as they get suf-
fcient population to organize, to
hold elections for the purpose of
voting township bonds to be used
in building roads. Let each town
ship issue. say $4,000 worth Of
bonds, more or less as required,
drawing low rate Of interest,
the principal payable in 90 years.
Let this money be judicously ex-
pended not doled out to nooalers
by wise and competent men, on
main thoroughfares leading to the
best available markets, trading
and railroad points. and it will
give them start 50 that in a very
short time they can have all the
roads they require, and if not per-
feet from the start they will be
passable and can be improved
from time to time.
For the first ten years after is
suing these bonds, the settlers
need not be taxed only to an
amount sufficient to pay the in
terest upon them, which would be
but small amount to each taxs
payer. By the end Of the first ten
years the country will be settled
up and the taxable property in
each township will have increased
to an extent that sinking fund
can be established in which $500
can be put each year with which
to pay the bonds when they fall
due without having to levy an ex-
orbitant tax at any time. One of
the good features Of this plan is
that it will give us good roads at
once and compels the settlers who
come in later and reap the bene-
fits of roads having been built, to
pay their share of expenses in
stead Of. throwing the whole bur
den upon the few settlers we now
have.
