The Wigwam is located Just above .5rre
court house, and TO attract attention to
It's precious contents Capt. Jack paid
liberal sums to a sign painter, who, in
letters web formed and executed in
gaudy colorE, tempts the passer-by to
indulge in the following Klondike lux
uries; Ham and eggs, 81; coffee and
pie or cake, 25 cents; coffee and sand
witches, rs cents; figs, dates and can
dies; fresh cows milk, 25 cents per
glass" A special feature of the Gull
nary department of the wigwam is ice
cream, the price Of which, unfortuna ate
ly, is omitted from the signs.
The artist in letters further informs
US that in addition to the numerous
commercial pursuits already mentioned
Capt. Jack buys gold dust and manages
the letting and sale of claims in all
parts of the gold country.
That this Pooh-Bahic ENTERPRISE has
brought rich reward to a good man Is
evidenced by Capt. Jack himself, who
Informs his friends in the effete Mis-
sissippi valley that he has not only
paid for the lot on which his wipwam
is reared, but that in addition he has
acquired number of promising claims
ana some ready cash, the whole exceed
ing $500 in actual cash value. He
furthermore ventures the assertion

century he VIII return to his friends in

but In sunshine, as he was in clouds,
ever faithfully the plain, unassuming
Capt. Jack of yore.
His success not only pleases his
friends. but it forms pleasing con-
trast to the narrowing hard-luck
stories which have come from the Klon-
dixie region. 1t proves that well-direct-
ed industry and perseverance had to
prosperity everywhere, And it also
demonstrates that sobriety is the key
stone of happiness.' Many of those who
lost their lives and money in the far
north were the victims of their appe-
tite. Capt. Jack, true 20 the eonvic-
ton of lifetime, never touched whis-
ky, and while others sacrificed their
manhood to the demon of drink he pur-

sued the noiseless tenor OF his way and
laid the foundation of his fortune, all
the while extending a helping hand TO
the sick and unfortunate.
Another cause of his well-being may
be found in his ability to adapt him
self TO conditions and circumstances
Instead of waiting for something to
turn up, he boldly engaged in bust
ness of which he knew nothing, but for
which, his judgment told him, there
was demand.
No man is so entirely lost in a print
tive community as he who seeks to
force things to come his way or clings
to one idea. He will not only lose all
he has, but degenerate into a slave.
Many young men who went to the gold
country persisted in delving for the
yellow metal until despair possessed
them who, had they made use of their
natural abilities in other directions,
might at least have earned enough
money 10 return to their homes and
friends.
The scenes which made the early
days of Dawson notorious will, no
doubt, be repeated directly in the min
ing camps of Nome, the new Eldorado;
and the failures which make the very
name of Klondike hideous sound to
hundreds of once ambitious young men
will be duplicated.
Human nature is mystery. No les
son of the past, however potent or
cruel, will prevent men from making
the mistakes" their fathers have made"
No warning will be needed until expert
ence has impressed it upon minds
otherwise rational. But perhaps it is
well that it should be so, for if we were
all to profit from the misfortunes OF
Others life might become burden by
reason of its monotony, and the spirit
of romance and adventure supple
mented by selfishness more repulsive
than that which now mars our social
cohdiuons. C. w. wEIPPERT.

dixie and have ever since had a hard
time TO keep soul and body together.
Among the most picturesque charac-
fers of Dawson is Capt. Jack Crawford.
famed as one OF the ablest scouts who
ever served in the nations army, dis.
tinguished as writer of verse and well
known as popular entertainer. Capt.
Jack went to the Klondike at the head
OF an expedition sent out by one of the
numerous trading and mining corpo-
rations," organized in New York and
elsewhere. Before he reached the
promised land the concern, in which he
had invested all his savings, went to
pieces, and when he finally arrived at
Dawson he had but $500 left-a mere
drop in the bucket in a country where
gold nuggets are used as a circulating
medium.
Instead of bemoaning his fate and
sitting idly by to see i'll fortune rob him
of hope and enterprise, the gallant cap
tain, who for so many years had catered
TO the intellect of large audiences, con-
eiuded to cater to the stomachs of
hungry miners and established an eat
ing house and general trading place
which are as unique and characteristic
h their owner.
He bought Dawson town lot on
time, erected upon it an edifice of won.
derful architecture, and at once pro.
ceeded to advertise his "wigwam" in
the following manner: "When in town

MERCY 0F DAME RUMOR.
The British People Hoping, Fear ing, Doubling, in the Absence
 of Definite News.
THINK BULLER'S FORCES ARE FIGHTING.
they Have No Data. However, on Which to Base the BeIief-Condf- tions of Information Prom Other Party of the Field of Action are Equally InconcIusive.

London, Feb. This hoping, fear ing. doubting nation remains at the mercy of every wild rumor. The i'm pression that Gen. Buffers forces are fighting will not died out, in spite Of the continued asseverations of the war office that it has no news to confirm tha. belief.
 Nothing Heard From Butler.
 From Cape Town comes the state ment that up to now nothing has been hearG there regarding Gen. Buffers re-crossing teh Tugela river, while Field Marshal Lord Roberts, in a dis patch dated Monday. February 5, re- ports no change in the situation. In view of the latter's dispatches it seems hard to credit the circumstantial re- ports of the engagement of Gen. Bull lcr's troops.
 Wish Father to the Thought.
 Common sense now almost impels the decision that these are due to the wish of being the father of the thought. Supposition upon such a basis is utterly futile. The comp,ete Si-NLNO uhQ may be significant, as the wiseacres aver, but it more probably represents that period of preparation which pre- cedes an important moment.
 Equally InconcIusive Elswhcre.
 In other parts that the Tugela the conditions of information are scarcely more satisfactory. There is an incon- elusive vagueness regarding Gen. Freneh's reported intention to attack Ncry alspont with an overwhelming force of infantry. While the news cf sharp fighting in the neighbrohood of Cclesberg can be fairly expected with. in a few days, it is not likely that it will assume greater proportions than reconnaissance and skirmishes for the purpose of holding the advanced posi- ticn of the forthcoming main advance ky way of Bloemfontein. Gen. French is strategically prohibited from run ming any serious risk.
 Created Good Impression.
 Lcrd Roberts reply to Presidents Kruger and Steyn creates an excellent impression here.
 From Kimberley and Mafeking there is nothing new, so it can be presumed that the intermittent bombardment If those places continues.
