can see how things are going in this
camp, and the sooner I learn how to
hustle for myself, why"
Then Mr.. Jobson searched around for
ten minutes for the eggs before he con-
cluded to look for them in the ice box.
(He hadn't put any eggs in the corn
bread). Then he got the hugest pan
he could lay his hands to, put it ON the
range, dropped. about a quarter Of
pound of butter in it, threw the three
half-inch-thick slices of bacon into the
pan, and looked somewhat treasured
when he heard the sizzling and saw the
smoke. He cracked three eggs, break
ing them all in the operation, and
dumped them into the pan beside the
bacon. Then he went upstairs to get
another bandage for his cut finger.
When he returned to the kitchen the
coffee had boiled all over the range and
floor, the kitchen was full of smoke,
and the bacon and eggs were burned to
q cinder. Mr.. Jobson set his jaw down
hard. He cut three more slices of
bacon and broke three more eggs, and
this time he watched the mess vigil
lantly. Then he set a place for HIM
self at the dining-room table, and, in
just one hour and forty minutes after
he had started to get dinner for himself,
he sat down in state, with his sleeves
still rolled up to his elbows, and corn
meal paste all over his face, although
he didn't know this. When Mr.. Job.
son suddenly recollected the corn bread
in the oven, by the way, and got it out,
it was no more like corn bread than
plantains are like onions. It was of
about the same consistency as basalt.
Mr.. Jobson, however, set the pan be-.
side him on the table, chopped into it
with great exertion, and partook of it
anyhow.
I'm no gutter" said he to himself,
doggedly, as he filed his teeth on the
weird corn bread.
Mr.. Jobson was wading into his but.
ter-cooked bacon and eggs, his alleged
corn bread, and his turbid coffee, when
he heard the click of the latch key in
the basement door. Mrs. Jobson had
seen the light in the basement, and
wondered greatly thereat.
When she stood in the frame of the
dining-room door and saw Mr.. Jobson,
corn meal paste from his chin to his
hair, solemnly partaking of his per.
sonally-conducted meal - and when

court house, and to attract attention to
its precious contents Capt. Jack paid
liberal sums to sign painter, who, in
letters we'll formed and executed in
gaudy colors, tempts the passer-by to
indulge in the following Klondike lux
uries: Ham and eggs, 81; coffee and
pie or cake, rs cents; coffee and sand
witches, rs cents; figs, dates and can
dies; fresh cows milk, IS cents per
glass;" A special feature of the Gull
nary department of the wigwam is ice
cream, the price of which, unfortunate
~, 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 wigwam
is reared, but that in addition he has
acquired number of promising claims
and some ready cash, the whole exceed
ing $500 in actual cash value. He
furthermore ventures the assertion
that in the spring he shall have glitter
ing opportunities to invest some of
his spare cash in gilt-edge mining prop
critics and that early in the twentieth
century he will return to his friends in
the states rich and prosperous man,
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 a 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 lead 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 to the convic-
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

SENATORS BY APPOINTMENT.
to Act When the Le8isla-
tuFe Does Not. =

The constitution of the United States
provides that the time, place and man
ner of holding elections for United
States senator's shall be prescribed by
the legislature. of the states they repre-
sent. 1t provides, too, that congress
shall at no time alter regulations for
the choice of senator's, and section
of the constitution provides that each
of the houses of congress shall be the
Judge of the qualifications of it's own
members. This is all the law there is
on the subject of the admission of
United States senators, and for many
years there has been going on con-
troversy on the subject of the right
of a governor to appoint a senator
where the legislator has failed to elect.
The question is as complicated indeed
as that of the identity of the man who
struck William Patterson, the BIRTH
place of Homer, the respective merits
and advantages of city and country life,
and the Schleswig-Holstein dispute.
Nominally, of course, where the term
of a senator has expired-and this is
one of the few controversies of Ameri-
can politics of which there is no par
tisan aspect-or when his term is about
to expire, the duty of the legislature
OF his state to choose his successor is
perfectly clear, and usually the legis-
lature conforms to it. At times, how
ever, such a result is not easily at
tanned. A legislature may be dead
locked; it may be impossible for ma
jority of its members to agree upon
candidate; the period, sometimes fixed
by constitutional provision, during
which a legislature may be lawfully in
session, may expire; the impracticabil-
ity of securing quorum of both houses
may present itself, or the governor,
whose power over the course of legis-
lation is considerable, may interpose
obstacles to choice whereby the legis-
lature will adjourn without securing
nominee. Up to this point, politicians
are pretty generally agreed, but the
question which follows is not so easily
disposed of: Has the governor of a
state the right to fill the vacancy aris-
ing, and if SO, what is the status of the
applicant in such case? Is he entitled
to admission, or must the state remain
unrepresented in part until the next
legislature convenes, one or two years
later, as the case may be, a majority of
the states at present having the sys-
tenn of biennial sessions under which
the lack of representation would con-
tinue for two years.
The matter has been treated by the
senate in various ways. However, the
fact is that this simple question of SEN
atorial representation by governors
appointment remains now in the same
unsettled condition that it has been
fer number of years, and there seems
to be no way, short of an amendment to
the constitution, of definitely dispos-
ing of the matter, a determination of
which all political parties would be sat-
isfied, as the present condition of IN
certainty, besides being an injustice to
each of the states in which it is raised,
is the cause of acrimonious and tedious
controversies in the upper house.-N.

fury. With an area four times as great
as that of the United States, popula-
ton of 150,OO0,OOO, a soil and climate
capable of infinite variety of produc-
ton, a rapidly expanding commerce,
and the greatest known supplies of
ivory, gold and diamonds, it's develop
ment under the modern methods which
are now being applied to it is practically
assured. The home of the oldest civ

darkness of mystery without and ig-
norance within, it is to-day Illuminated
by the searchlight of modern methods,
and as its Importance and attractions
are being recognized, with this recog-
milton must come development.
With 100000 Europeans scattered
over its vast area, acquainting them
selves with its natural conditions and
requirements, with the steamer, the
railroad, the telegraph and the tele-
phone carrying light and knowledge
and civilization to its darkest corner,
Africa and civilization cannot long re-

It was only after the explorers -Liv-
ingstone, Spoke, Stanley and others
had discovered, through persistent and
heroic efforts, that there existed vast
navigable waterways above the falls
near the mouths of the great streams
which flow from the interior that Eu-
ropean nations awoke to the physical
and commercial possibilities of Africa,
and then, in twinkling, the dark con-
tinent was seized upon and divided up
and became, as by magic, a vast Euro
pean "hinterland." Between 1884 and
1898 an area two and half times the
size of the United States, and contain
ing population of 10O, 900 900, was par
celed out by an agreement of the Ec-
ropean powers. At present scarcely a
foot of African territory remains un-
claimed.-Forum.
