The Pickles Test.

There had been an epidemic of
mumps In Denver, and every afternoon
brought to the health department a
number of children seeking permission
to return to school. Sometimes no doc
tor was present, and they had to wait.
SO, says the Republican, DR.. Carlin de-
vised a means by which his secretary,
Miss Currigan. might test the appli-
cants. "a
pickles are the thing" said Dr. Car
lin. "If person with the slightest
trace of inflammation In the thyroid
glands takes bite of anything sharply
sour. the face is instantly contorted.
In extreme cases the pain Is extreme"
So bottle of mixed pickles was add
ed to the pharmacopoeia of the office.
Now, when there Is no doctor in the
office, Miss Currigan lines up the appli-
cants for certificates and goes down
the line with the bottle of pickles. II
the child takes the pickle and smiles
as healthy child should, he may so
back to school again; but If he scowls
In pain he Is condemned to stay at
home.

Dawson, May Fl, via Seattle, June
S.-The spring clean up is in full
swing in all parts Of the Klondike

The dust is coming into Dawson at

After two or three weeks the roads
will be drier and it will flow in at q
heavier rate. The two banks at Daw-
son are buster than they have been
for months buying or receiving the
dust for storage. The big trading
companies are receiving great deal
Of dust in payment for goods advanced
to miners during the winter. The
camp is in a fourishing condition,
and everywhere good feeling prevails.
The first shipments of dust Of any
consequence to the outside will per-
haps not start fct a week or two, or
