Thought They Were Doss.

Summer In Dawson City Is delightful. and even the winters, say those who have staid there in that season, are glorious. Many are the stories told about the wondrous beauties of the trail over the ice and the White pass, where even women have gone, han ding their dogs from day to day as the men handled theirs. Every man and woman there has story, all in- teresting and some thrilling.
 "I used to like to start out first in the morning" said 6 Detroit woman. "Once, as hurried my dogs down the trail in the gray dawn, 1 saw three stray ani- mals rOmping on the way. Now, if you catch up with a stray dog on the trail, he is yours; so, my heart futter- ing with joy, began whistling to the half wild creatures.
 At first they paid no attention to me, but kept romping and leap frog ging up and down the train. l slowed up my team and put myself in front, the better to make my peace with the renegades.
 "When we had come within 100 yards of them, they stopped playing, sat down and stared at us. l whistled again, and they all ran. How foolish felt when 1t suddenly dawned on mo that had been trying to harness three wild wolvesp'-New York Independent.

YET ANOTHER DUTY.

The order of Judge Brown calling an election in two Alaskan cities to decide upon the matter of incorporation made vester- day, recalls the fact that this another boon gained for Alaskans by the activity and perseverance of Skagwav's wide-awake citizens. Not quite year ago the matter was taken up by the progressive citizens of this placer. Since then it has been pushed to successful end. It was one of the pet measures the Skagwav delegation took into the Juneau convention which they succeeded in having favorably acted upon by that body. And last winter at Washington. MT. Price unceasinglv urged the necessity of such q provision in the Alaskan code. It is gratifying to know that we are so soon 10 reap the fruits of persistent labor. as It Is hardly possible the citizens will vote the proposition down next Thursday,
 But the work is not vet finished, One of the most important steps In the crea> ton of the real city is yet to be taken. It is the choosing of seven city councllmen to manage the affairs of the corporation for the first year. Too much care can not be taken in this matter. Upon the work of the next year will rest our civic structure. Let it be done wisely and honestly. There will probably be many citizens who will desire seats in the council, but only seven can be chosen. Let that seven be men who have no selfish ends to serve. Let our citizens act in manner worthy of their glorious achievement.

They Ha adn't Met.

A correspondent of the Hartford Cou- rant tells of news clipping bureau which sent letter to John Bunyan, author of work entitled '"The Life of Mir. Badman," in care of a publisher, urging Mir. Bunyan to subscribe to the bureau.
 After the decease of the late F. T. Barnum," continues the correspond ent, "tke Greatest Show on Earth continued for awhile to use the magic of his name. It was coming to Hart ford, and 1t sent free tickets to clergy men here. Among the letters contain ing said tickets was one addressed to the Rev. Dr. Joel Hawes, who had died some years before. The letter was sent to Dr. George l.. Walker, then the active pastor of the First church.
 "On reading and pondering 1t Dr. Walker is credibly reported to have said: "A letter from r. T. Barnum to Dr. Hawes. Mir. Barnum is dead and Dr. Hawes Is dead. It is evident that they have not met yonder.'

A richly dressed woman entered the office of trust company in Philadel- phia the other day to rent box. Have you any one to identify you" asked the attendant.
 Certainly not" said the woman in- dignantly. Everybody knows who am"
 "That may be-" was the reply, but don't know that you are the woman of that name."
 Just then another woman, who had been transactlng some business, raised her head, and a frigid nod passed be- tween them.
 Do you know this woman?' asked the bank official.
 T don't want to know her." snapped the woman. "She lives next door to me, and instructed her footman to kick my dog, just because it chanced to be on her step. You needn't ask me to identify her, for won't"

Paper Carpets In Korea.

Carpets in Korea are not of as little moment as are carpets here. They are handed down in families as heirlooms from generation to generation to be- come darkened and subdued with age. They are rugs always and are made of paper by a peculiar process. In ap- pearance they are much like the lac quered boxes which come from Japan and which are so much used as hand kerchief boxes," said the old time American consul in Korea. "The na- tives always take off their sandals when they enter the house. and that fact accounts largely for the long life of the rugs. When I was there, how ever, l shocked the feelings of every one by wearing my shoes, carpets or no carpets, and during my stay com pletely wore out some of those beauti- full dark colored carpets. They are about quarter of an inch in thickness and very effective"

ONE ON LEE.
A New Story About the We'll Known
 Fitg-Hugh.

''The telegraph operators down in Cuba made some queer hash of private messages during the early period of the occupation,' said guest at the Grunewald. "A good many of them were Spaniards who could speak noth- ing but their native tongue, and when given an English message they sent 1t off mechanically, letter by letter, without knowing what the dickens 1t meant Of course, that led to all kinds of extraordinary blunders, apropOs of which I am reminded of an amusing story told on General Fitz-Hugh Lee.
 "The town of Maranao, where he made his headquarters last summer, Is full of Chinamen, who enjoy a mo nopolyo the laundries and small shops. By a singular coincidence the majority of them belong to the tribe of Lee, and whichever way you turn you are con fronted by red and white signs bearing such names as Jo Lee Hop Lee Lung Lee and 'Wah Lee
 "Very shortly after the generals ar rival, as the yarn goes, somebody sent him telegram from Washington ad- dressed simply 'Fitz-Hugh Lee, Mari- anao, Cuba
 "The native operator who transmit ted 1t from Havana dropped a couple of letters, and it arrived consigned to Fit Huh Lee which certainly has a Mongolian sound, and perplexed the chap who received it-a raw English man, not up in American military ce- lebrities.
 He was unable to recall any laun- dryman named Fit Huh and finally re- quested that the address be repeated.
 "The Havana lightning Jerker was in hurry and ticked off the syllables impatiently.
 "'Have you got 1t nowY he asked over the wire.
 "'Yes,' clicked the Englishman in reply, and sorry to bother you, but these Chinamen do have such queer namesp "-New Orleans Times-Demo- crat.

Earth Fort,ac.tions.

Military engineers are practically agreed that no material for fortifica- tions is superior to earth. When clay is not obtainable, as on the seashore, sand is collected into bags, and these are laid in regular heaps along the line of the proposed fertilization. In such a fertilization the balls from the ene- my's guns sink without doing damage, and shells explode harmlessly.

yesterday afternoon the Montpelier
Seminary foot bail Team played its
third game Of the season with the
Iardwick town team, winning by a
score of 80 to 0. The lIardwick team
was considerably handicapped by want

any so far this season, the team work
being excellent. The backs and ends
found no trouble in showing the ball
through their opponents line at any
stage of the game. Miller, Hamilton,
and Gerrish made long gains and
Gibbs, right half-back, new man,
proved himself good ground gamer.
