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, ham
ding their dogs from day to day as
the men handled theirs. Every man
and woman there has a story, all in
teresting and some thrilling.
81 used to like to start out first in the
morning" said Detroit woman. "Once,
as / hurried my dogs down the trail in
the gray dawn, saw three stray ami
mails romping on the way. Now, If
you catch up with stray dog on the
trail, he is yours; SO, my heart f1utter-
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. 1 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 it suddenly dawned on me
that had been trying to harness three
wild wolvesv'-New York Independent.

A man was going home to his wife
and family. 1t was growing dark. His
road from the station was a lonely
one, and he was getting along as fast
as he could when he suddenly suspect
ed that a man behind him was follow
ing him purposely. The faster he went
the faster the man went until thev
came to graveyard.
Now" he said to himself, I'll fin
if he's after me-" And he entered thf
churchyard.
The man followed him. Vague vision
of revolvers and garroters grew upol
him. He made detOur of splendid
mausoleum. Still the man was after
him, round and round.
At last he turned and faced the fel-
low and asked: what the dickens dc
you want? What are you following
me for?"
'sWell, sir, do you always go home
like this? am going up to Mr.
Browns house with parcel, and the
porter at the station told me that if I'd
follow you l should find the place, as
you live next door. Are you going
home at all tonight?' -Columbian.

John sherman ON HIMSELF.

A politician who was very near to
Senator John Sherman in the campaign
of 1892 says he will never forget the
effect that the first kodak picture OF
himself had upon the senator. Mr.
Sherman had been speaking the night
before in the Academy Of Music, Phil
adelphia, and the newspaper artists
had taken some lifelike snap shots OF
him In many attitudes. To the poll
tician the senator said, upon looking
over the newspapers the following day:
-"Well, well, our time for criticising the
newspaper men is over. They have us
to rights now. Here am just as
am, and I'm a caricature Of what |
have always thought l was."-Satur-
day Evening Post.

UNFINISHED TALES.
Stories That Authors Begin and Find
1t Impossible to Finish.

II Impossible tO 1nIBMs
The inability Of an author to finish q
piece of work that he has engaged to
do and has already actually begun is
not so very uncommon thing. 1t is
said that Dickens began 1.-THE Mystery
of Edwin brood" without any clear
conception in his mind of how the story
was going to turn out and that had he
not died, leaving it unfinished, he
would have found almost any ending
difficult to reconcile with certain hints
contained in the earlier chapters. We
remember rather curious instance of
the same sort as having happened a
good many years ago, when the elder
Bonner was editing the New York
Ledger.
A very impecunious literary man sent
to Bonner the first chapters Of most
exciting story which gave promise of
being just the sort of thing which
readers of The Ledger used to like.
The story was accepted and ran on I'M
interruptedly and very successfully for
about four weeks, when all Of sudden
the authors invention gave out. For
the life of him he could not go on with
the tale, and he had to go to Mr.. Bon
ner and say so frankly.
The next number Of The Ledger ap-
peared without the expected Install
ment of the story, but with a brief
note to the effect that, owing to the
sudden illness of its author, its further
publication was temporarily suspend
ed. This was to give that embarrass-
ed person a chance to recover his in
SEPARATION. Mr.. Bonner asked him to
dinner, took him driving and in vari-
GUS ways tried to brace him up for
further work, but it was Of no use.
He simply could not go on, and so the
rest of the story never saw the light

''The funniest thing 1 ever saw or
heard" says Chauncey M. Depew In
Success, "was the lecture of Artemus
Ward, then quite unknown, on Nor
mons, delivered at Albany. The audi
ence was fashionable, conservative
and proper to degree. Ward, discour-
aged, finally stopped and said, after
one of his best things, which had met
with no response, There's a joke
Suddenly, the fun of the whole enter
tainme came like an avalanche. The
audience began to litter, then to laugh,
then to roar and at the end Of Is min
utes was positively in hysterical con-
dition. 1t was an illustration Of the
psychology of association and senti-
ment, precisely the same as that which
produces panics, when there are no
commercial troubles and no financial
difficulties"

Black Coats.

An English clergyman, rather POM
pous of manner, according to Spare
Moments, was fond of chatting with a
witty chimney sweep.
Once, when the minister returned
from his summer holidays, he happen
ed to meet his youthful acquaintance,
who seemed to have been at work.
"Where have you been?" asked the
clergyman.
Sweeping the chimneys at the vic
arage," was the boys answer.
"How many chimneys are there, and
how much do you get for eachT was
the next question.
The sweep said there were 20 chin
neys and that he was paid shilling
apiece.
The clergyman, after thinking mo-
ment, looked at the sweep in apparent
establishment. "You have earned q
great deal Of money In little time, .
he remarked solemnly, wondering,
probably, what the sooty fellow would
reply.

bag over his shoulder as he started
away. 1--WE who wear black coats

Ymnrnving the statue.

Even France, the land Of art, has its
Dogberrys. A French sculptor shipped
a bronze statue of General LIE Flo to a
little town called Quimper, where 1t
was set up and yelled to await the day
on which it was to be presented form
ally. The wise mayor Of the town
examined 1t critically and decided that
it could be improved vastly. So he set
few workmen to the task, and when
the sculptor arrived he had the great
pleasure of finding that his beautiful
gilt bronze statue had been secured
neatly with emery and was shining
like the brass on a man-of-war.
A tasteful frame Of wood had been
put around the marble pedestal, and
as, unfortunately, the local artisan had
made it too small, and to accommodate
this, the coattails and feet of most of
the figures on the pedestal had been
tut off.

At an altitude of nearly $500 feet above
the sea Asheville is one of Natures most
charming sanitariums. Here. as now
where else, are to be found, in greatest
perfection, ideal climatic conditions; for
neither in summer nor winter are there
extremes in temperature, the seasons be-
ing marked by the calendar rather than
by the weather. The temperature maps
prepared by the National Government
show that there is formed by the peculiar
typographical conditions existing on the
Asheville Plateau the ideal thermal belt of
America. As health and pleasure resort
it has ne superior. The air is balmy and
exhilarating, the elevation guarantees
purity of atmosphere most potent in its
influences upon sufferers from throat and
nervous diseases. Those who visit the
place once will be disposed to do so again;
and the fact that some of the best hotels
in the country are found there will COM
p1ete the allurements to visitors seeking
health or pleasure. The months of April
and May are the most charming season of
the year to visit Ashevil1e and The Land
of the Sky.' 1t is easily reached as the

THE WIND AT THE DOOR.

Often to my door
Comes a twilight visitor.
When the mountain summer day
From our valley takes his way,
And the journeying shadows stride
Over the green mountain side.
Down the Glove among the trees
Moves the ghostly wandering breeze.
With the first stars on the crest
And the pale light in the west
He comes up the dark ravine
Where no traveller is seen.
Yet his coming makes stir
In the house Of Ash and Fir.
Master, is't In our abode
You will tarry on the readf''

But with you may not dwell"
Birches whisper at their sill
As he passes up the hill,

There is ample room to house"
Friends, / have another quest
Than your cool abiding rest
And the huttering Aspen knows
Whose step by her doorway goes
Honor, lord, thy silver tree
And the chamber laid for thee"
''Nay, must be faring on,
For tonight seek my own.
Breath Of the red dust is he
And wayfarer like me;
Here moment and then lost
On trail confused and crossed.
And gently would surprise
Recognition in his eyes;
Touch his hand and talk with him
When the forest light is dim,
Taking counsel with the lord

The west window furtively
And then move among the leaves
In the shadow of the eaves7

Who comes searching for his kin.
