OF course, Great Britain is
pleased with the result of the

is glad to depress silver and buy
it cheap.

But they robbed us by regular

So we knew just what to ex-
pect,
While at Nome we're scheduled
to struggle
Until we are financially wrecked.
We are scared to submission and
silence
BY the men the Government
sends
To force us to keep law and
order,
While they keep claims for
their friends.
And collect, in an indirect man

An exceedingly burdensome
tax,
Assumed for a time by the trad

And then transferred to our
backs.

For I'll try my luck with the

| worked with my partner all
summer
Crosscutting a cussed cold
creek
Which we never thought once of
locating
Unless we located a streak.
We travelled the toe twisted
tundra,
Where the reindeer root round
for their food,
And the hungry Laplander who
herds them
Devour them before they can
breed.
Here it seems that good claims
might be plenty,
And we thought we would
stake one, perhaps,
But we found to our grief that
the gulches
We're staked in the name of
the Laps.
A hundred long leagues TO The
northward,
Over the untrodden, unburnish-
ed snow,
We struggled, half blind and
half famished,
To the sea where the staunch
whalers go.
We found there red beaches of
ruby
And mountains of placers and
leads,
But all save the sky was pre-
empted
By salt water sailors and
SWedeS.
We climbed the cold creeks near

God,
Who trades Bibles and Prayer
books to heathens
For ivory, seal skins and cod.
AT last we were sure we had
struck it,
But, alas, for our hopes of re-
ward,
The landscape from sea beach to
sky line
Was staked in the name of the
Lord.
We're too slow for the new breed
of miners,
Embracing all classes of men,
Who locate by power of attorney
And prospect their claims with
a pen.
Who do all their fine work
through agents
And loaf around town with the
sports,
On intimate terms with the
lawyers,
On similar terms with the
Courts.
We had some hard knocks on the
Klondike
From the cub lions unpadded
paws,
And suffered from shocks of high
license
And other immutable laws.

TURKISH BOYS AT SCHOOL.

Astonishing Things that Are Taught.
The beginning of a Mohammedan boys

Roston Herald. 1t occurs on his seventh
birthday. The entire school goes to the
new scholars home. leading a richly
caparisoned and tiower-bedecked donkey.
The new pupil is placed on this little
beast, and with the hodja, or teacher,
leading, the children form a double file
and escort him to the school house, sing
Ing joyous songs.
To a stranger the common Turkish

and often fall asleep. Then it is that the

The Whipping Post.

We hope that the agitation
that is springing up in many
parts of the State in favor of
the whipping post will bear
fruit in the adoption of that
eighteenth century method of
punishment. Here in Galloway
County we have numerous
offenders for whom a term in
jail has not as much terrors as
a hard days work In fact
there are many negroes who
court Jail sentence in winter,
but a few lashes at whipping
