thousands of dollars worth of gold out of the greatest mining camp in the world. There is only one railroad in Alaska-that is the White Pass and Yu- kon railroad. On that railroad there is train called the Klondike Limited. The Klondike Limited! Isn't the sound of that name enough to make com mon candy butcher on the run between Peoria and Lafayette, Ind, stick bis head into his basket of salted peanuts and strangle himself to death. For there is a train boy on the Klondike Limited. On the Klondike Limited that brings prospectors and miners and adventurers weighed down with golden nuggets back to the states and ciyiliza- ton, and the girls they left behind them there is the candy butcher And all these prospectors and miners and iadventurers on this Klondike Limited are bubbling over with joy that the days of their exile are over, and that soon they will be back to their boyhood homes again. Think of turning loose a candy butcher in such a crowd as that. To quote another popular song, 1t seems like shame to take the money The train boy on the Klondike Limited, like his brothers on the Kenosha local, deals in peanuts, candy, books, papers and magazines. But more than that, he sells shirts and collars and bright red neckties. He has full line of whiskies and plug tobacco and cigars of the finest cabbage selected leaf, The train boy does not like to sell cigars He only gets 50 cents apiece for them and they cost him 75 cents hundred. He just sells the cigars to show he is good fellow. He didn't originally deal in shirts and habberdashery, but be found that the miners returning to civ ilization yearn madly for a 'biled' shirt. So, after he had sold the shirt off his back, together with his collar and neck tie, for s10o, he decided to carry a stock of shirts and ties. There are stringent restrictions in Alaska in regard to sell ing whisky, so the train boy doesn't sell it. He gives it away and lets the man who drinks it tip him for his trouble. If man were to give him a nugget any smaller than the size of the cork the train boy would haughtly refuse to al- low him to buy any more cigars, and would charge him at least S5 for two months old newspaper, which be ord inarily gives away for s1.5O. Then the train boy sells playing cards and the passengers are always wanting a game. He puts up the table, too, hands around the matches, and, of course, large and substantial kitty is maintained on one side of the table for the sole support of the obliging train boy. Ifanybody was to put quarter or a silver half dollar into the kitty the train boy wouldn't be angry He uses those things to pay storekeepers for fresh goods for his next runn A Seattle newspaper man interviewed the train boy on bis last trip from Alaska. Quoth the train boy: @Am I it? Am I? Say, ain't l naughty boy? I know it's wrong to take the money, but need it in my business, and besides, as soon as l get enough I'll buy the railroad and give some other good deserving boy chance to fasten on to little honest money. But S1 for sack of peanuts! Say, that's a penitentiary offense in IL linois. But need the moneys

The company which will open the
house will use but little of the new
scenery belonging To the Opera house.

Those who have seen the Opera
house cannot say enough in its praise.
1t is extremely pretty, although not
elaborate. Every st at is 50 located that
