His holiness Receives Many Singular
Presents from the Faithru

His Holiness Receives Many Singular
Present. from the Faith ruI.
The Vatican has become a perfect
museum Of objects, animate and mani
mate, as many Of the faithful have de-
sired to give his holiness a personal
gift, with in many cases strange re-
suits. For instance, a peasant from
the Abruzzi the other day brought a
pair of turtle doves in a basket and was
highly incensed because he was not al
lowed to carry them into st. Peters
and present them personally, then and
there. to the head of the church. A
woman brought-that is, carried TO the
station-a young and lusty pig. but was
obliged by her Mortified parish priest to
leave It behind. Alfredo Mancini, now
In Rome, has. however, made the pom
tin a present which is most interesting
and valuable. Not long ago he brought
with him from the Holy Land two
magnificent goats taken from Mount
Carmel. They are splendid beasts, dis
tinguished from their kind by their
black coats, unusually thick and soft.
and by their ears, which are large and
fall like those Of a hunting hound. The
pope has inspected them personally in
their pasture in the Vatican gardens.
The other day as he stood looking at
them he said: How they bring back
to me the days Of my childhood, when
I scrambled about the hills OF Carpi-
neto like the goats, going In many
places where only a wild boy or a goat
could gain foothold." These goats ara
as yet untried to the climate OF Rome.
but as they are hardy animals it is
hoped they will not suffer by the
change from Palestine.

An Incident Showing the Eindnes OF

An Incident Showing the kindness OF
the Great Chicago Packer.
Perhaps "PhI" Armour had less
trouble with his employees than almost
any other great employer Of labor in
the country. He was exacting and re-
quired punctuallty and energy, but he
always paid good wages and showed a
personal interest in the welfare OF each
n Of his employees. He never por-
mitted himself to get into debt. andh
tried to impress upon his employees the
rule which he had followed. It is re-
lated that one day, on going into his
office, he found a policeman In the
corridor.
What are you doing here, slr?" he
asked.
7 am here to serve a paper was the
reply.
What kind Of a paper?" asked Mr..
Armour.
Il want to garnishee one Of your
mems wages for debt" said the po-
liceman.
Indeed replied mr. Armour, "and
who is the mang" lie thereupon asked
the policeman into his private office
and ordered that the debtor come in.
He then asked the clerk how long he
had been In debt The man replied
that for 20 years he had been behind.
and that he could not catch up.
"But you get a good salary said
Mr. Armour. don't yOu?"

Yes said the clerk. "but 1 cant
get out Of debt. My life is such that
somehow o. other I can't get out"
But you must get out" said Mr.
Armour, 'or you must leave here.
How much do you owe2"
The clerk then save the amount. Il
was less than $1,000. Mr.. Armour took
his checkbook and wrote out a check
for the amount.
There" said he. as he handed the
clerk the check. There is enough to
pay all your debts. Now l want you
to keep out Of debt, and If I hear OF
you again getting into debt you will
have to leave"
The man took the check. paid his
debts and remodeled his life on a cash
basis.

If every woman could Gas she

undertake the care Of the sick in her
own home this would but accentuate
the value nut raise the status Of the
born nurses" who, never happy, save
in the special exercise of their gift,
would then quite suffice for hospital
cases and the grand occasions Of ma
jor operations. The sight of the cap

when imported into a household with
women members scarcely raises ones
admiration for the family government

English shoe manufacturers who are
beginning to suffer from American
competition allege that, although the
British workman's daily wages are
only about half as large as those Of
the American operative, the Labor
cost Of a pair Of shoes is fully 25 PEI
cent more in England than in the
United States. Most Of the RESPONSE
bility for this fact Is laid upon the
British union Of boot and shoe opera

England WIN Build Largest warsaips In

The British admiralty has decided
20 build two battleships. which are in
tended to be the largest in the world.
The distinction Of having the largest
warships has hitherto been held by
Italy, with the Sepanto nd her sister
ship, the Italia. Great Britain's two
projected large warships, to be re-
sp~ectively named the Queen and the
Prince Of Wales. will be 1000 tons
heavier than the italian ships men
toned. reaching the enormous dis
placement OF $4,000 tons, which Is
$500 heavier than Americas biggest
armor-clad vessel. These tremendous
British vessels will carry nothing larg-
or than 12-inch u Their batteries
will be composed chiefly of these guns
and Of 7.5-inch and 6-inch guns. The
determination to increase the bulk OF
the battlesh'~s only was arrived at
after much discussion, for since the
days of the Royal Sovereign (of 14.150
tons) the admiralty has been inclined
to favor battleships Of smaller dis
placement, OF which the Campus (of
1880 tons) is the best type.

The manager of the old reliable Hunter Saloon, who always has sold and will continue to sell only first-class liquors, has concluded to reduce the price of drinks to l2t cents each, as he feels he can afford to do so better than any other frst-class house in Nome, having over $45,O00 worth of liquors and cigars stored in the warehouse of the N. A. T. x T. Co.,, and which must be sold during the winter. Remember. the only whiskies sold over the Hunter bar are Hunter Rye, Hermitage Rye and Old Crow Bourbon, none of them less than eight years old and all purely straight whiskies direct from the dis tilleries. Miners going out on the trail should take few bottles of Hunter, Hermitage or Old Crow with them. We make a speciality of furnishing mushers us well as families with first class liquors at bottom prices. Physi- cians will find the same strictly pure wines and liquors as we have furnished in the past. If you are not already a patron of the Hunter, call and you will receive tirst-class treatment.
