How MIR. pooIey Surprised KipIlna:

HOW Mr. Dooley surprised klpllng.
Mr.. Kipling was explaining a while
ago to an interested visitor from Amer
lea how quickness and intelligence of
observation, and a kind of instructive
insight, sometimes enables the foreign
or to know, in a short time, more OF
ones country than one does ones self.
He pointed the remark by a reference
to Mr. Peter DUNES visit to Eng
land.
During it, Mr. Kipling met Mr..
Dunno, and the conversation by some
chance touched upon the London
bus conductor, and anecdote and OBJ
servation were exchanged.
Here was Dunno" declares Mr..
Kipling. Gin London for only short
time, and already he knew the bus
drivor-knew him, mind you, and he's
a most curious type and most char.
acteristic-knew him better than
most Londoners l have ever met"
The tribute to Mr.. Dooley's" acu-
men and penetrating observation was
well deserved; how we'll deserved Mr..
Kipling does not know. Mr.. Dunno
does know the London bus driver.
But if any one in Chicago will catch
Mr.. Dunno during a moment of leisure
and ask him how many times he rode
on top of an omnibus, Mr. Dunno will
be forced to admit that it was just
once.-Saturday Evening Post

coIorado's County Court Judges.

In Colorado it is not necessary that
judges of county courts shall be law
yers. The result has been that de-
cisions OF such tribunals, when ap-
pealed, are reversed in almost half OF
the cases. 1t is found that in nearly
all cases county courts get at the
equity all right, but err as to techni-
calities, and it is suspected that more
or less INSCRIPTIONS lawyers lay traps
to bring about Just such results.

a brief whispered conversation with Law
yer Marshall and Mrs. Cohn, announced
that settlement had been reached. Mrs.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. March 26.-The state
ment has been made that George y. Lew

Mr. Lewis was we'll known for many years

Mr. Lewis says his trouble with the
speaker arose over the order which he
Lewis. got introduced TO pay the employees
of the House S2j each for postage stamps
and stationery. This matter was firmly
resisted by the speaker, and it brought no
little trouble to the presiding genius Of
the House Time and again IL has been
customary for the legislative employees to
get this sort of an 'hOnarium. but it was
thought advisable in the interest of econo-
my TO stop the drain this year. Lewis says
the speaker told him several weeks ago
that IL he did not stop this order he would
be dismissed. Friday morning. Lewis says
he urged the chairman of the ways and

port the order The speaker heard of it
and served notice on Lewis that night

Hundreds of People start From

Located Above Sulphur Creek.
Prospects of Great Yield of Ore.

TACOMA. Wash, March 26.-The mighty
Yukon River has been converted into q
winter bicycle path. The most wonderful
trip of the Arctic cycling season was made
in February By Morris Levy between Daw-
son and Circle City The distance be-
| tween the two points is 800 miles. Levy
made it in three days and four hours. or at
a gait of better than 100 miles a day.
Among those starting over the Dawson
Nome trail last month were two women,
both riding bicycles. The trail is pro-
nounced excellent for wheeling the Yukon
ice being smooth for long stretches.
Arrivals from Dawson report that as
many as 600 people have started on the
long journey OF LOO miles over the Ice
with dog teams fer Nome. Among them
are a number OF women chiefly variety ac-
tresses. The daily departures from Daw-
son TO Nome run from ten to twenty.
The finding OF a S64 nugget on No. Gay
Gulch. and the continued sensational re-
turns from Sulphur Creek. particularly No.
f6 above. are the principal features of the
klondike mining situation. as reported by
Dawson passengers. Adolph SpitZel, who
Is known as Baron Won SpitZel.' declares
that No. 46 is the richest placer mine ever
discovered. He has no interest in the
mine. which has a pay streak of fifteen
feet in thickness and extending the entire
width of the claim. The lowest pans thus
far taken from the pay streak average Sc.
Alex Mcdonald offered $500. 0G0 spot cash
for No 46. but was simply laughed at.
Il am about prepared to say that the

will equal the total yield of the district
since its discovery. / think the camp will
produce not less than s30, 900, 900, and may
be more"
Spitzel went TO the KIondike from China.
where be was long stationed at Shanghai
as agent for the Maxim gun. Louis Spitz-
el, famouts as a Philippine filibuster, is
his brother He went to the Klondike poor
and is now recognized as one Of the richest
Of its many wealthy men.
Considerable prospecting is being ear
ried on this winter at Nome. Many miners
have an idea that at and below low-wdter
mark the richest sands will be found.
Therefore as soon as the ice is solidly fro
zen 10 the bottom Of the shore they viii
be watched with much interest. inasmuch
as il will tend to solve much-yexed
question as to the origin Of the gold ia the
Nome beach sands.
Prospecting in the tundra warrants the
belief that it is impregnated with gold in
much the same manner as the beach. Tuu-
dra PROSPECTING has not as yet been car
ried on extensively owing 10 the difficulty
OF sinking to bedrock without being
swamped by water The ground is found
frozen TO an unknown depth. just the same
as in the KlOndike. and if it should prove
rich an area Of country will be developed
that will be greater than q score Of KiOn-

ready been done il is reasonable to pre-
