COMES HOME FROM NOME.
Jno. r. Benton, Former St. cloudlte,
: Returns from Long Stay In :.
klondjko, ~

John R. Benton, Dawson, T. W. T.
is a name on the Grand, Central
register.
Mr.. Benton is hardy young miner
who has spent three years in the Klon-
dixie, has made ''his pile" and is en-
route home to Hawick to surprise his
parents and to enjoy the fruits of his
toll and hardship in the frozen domain
under the lea OF the arctic circle.
Twelve years ago Benton was a
schoolboy in st. Cloud and later was
employed in William Albrecht's black
smith shop. Seven years since he went
to North Dakota and three years ago
in the rush for the Klondike he was
one of those who went over the trail to
Dawson. That he has prospered will
be good news to his old friends. He
prospected on his own account and
worked for others until he secured a
claim that pannd out we'll. Last spring
he sold his holdings in and about
Dawson for very respectable amount
running we'll into the thousands
and went down the Yukon to St.
Michael's where he took an ocean
steamer across Behring sea for Nome.
He remained at Nome until July ID
when he sailed for Seattle and home.
The trip down was made in eight days
and was not unpleasant.
"Dawson is a good camp" said
Benton Tuesday. "a man may live
there during the greater part of the
year with no great discomfort, but the
case is entirely different at Nome.
Nome is probably the worst camp on
the continent. 1t is cold and rainy
during the greater part of the year
and now back from the town three or
four miles there is all kinds of ice and
snow. The winters are frightfully
cold and there are discomforts such as
Minnesotans know nothing about. I
am going to surprise my people at
Hawick and know that the first meet
ing in seven years will be pleasant
one. [ intend to 90 back to Dawson

JEWELER and OPTICIAN

AA1ec Sd4OOu Keepers III chicago
were found guilty of selling liquor to
minors, and the following Is the ad-
dress of the judge who sentenced them
as reported in the Chicago Tribune:
by the law you may sell to men and
women, if they will buy. You have
given your bond and paid your license
to sell to them, and no one has right
to modest you in your legal business.
No matter what the consequences may
be, no matter what poverty and desti-
tuition are produced by your selling &C.
cording to law, you have paid the mon
ey for. this privilege, and you are H.
censed to pursue your calling; no mat
ter what families are distracted and
rendered miserable, no matter what
wives are treated with violence, what
children starve or mourn over the deg
radiation of parent, your business is
legalized, and no one may interfere
with you in it; no matter what mother
may agonize over the loss Of a son or
sister blush for the shame of brother,
you have right to disregard them all
and pursue your legal calling; you are
licensed.
'You may fit up your lawful place
OF business in the most enticing and
captivating form, you may furnish it
with the most costly and elegant equip
ments for your lawful trade, you may
fill it with the allurements Of amuse-
ment, you may use all your arts to in
duce visitors, you may skillfully ar
range and expose to view your choicest
wines and captivating beverages, you
may then induce thirst by all contriv-
ances to produce raging appetite for
drink, and then you may supply that
appetite to the full, because it is law
full: you have paid for it, because you
have license. .+.-.
"You may allow boys, almost chill
dren. to frequent your saloons. They
may witness the apparent satisfaction
with which their seniors quaf the
sparkling glass. You may be school
ing and training them for the period Of
Fl, when they, too, can participate, for
all this is lawful. You may hold the
cup to their very lips, but you must not
let them drink; that Is unlawful. But,
while you have all these privileges for
the money you pay, this poor privilege
Of selling to children is denied you.
Here parents have the right to say,
Leave my son to me until the law
gives you the right to destroy him.
DO not anticipate that terrible mo-
ment when can assert for him no
further right of protection. That will
be soon enough for me, for his mother,
for his sister, for his friends and for
the community to see him take his
road to death. Give him to Us in his
childhood at least. Let us have few
years Of his youth in which we may
enjoy his innocence to repay us in
some small degree for the care and
love we have lavished upon him! This
is something you, who now stand a
prisoner at the bar, have not paid for;
this is not embraced in your license.
For this offense the court sentences
you to ten days imprisonment in the
county Jail, and that you pay fine of
SIS and costs, and that you stand CON-
mitted until the fine and costs of this
prosecution are paid"

How to Find Out a Girls Age.

Girls of manageable age do not like
to tell how old they are, but you can
find out by the following subjoined in
structions, the young lady doing the
figuring: Tell her to put down the mum
Der of the month in which she was born;
then to multiply by 2; then to add 3;
then to multiply it by so; then to add
her age; then to subtract 365; then to
add 10; then tell her to tell you the
amount she has left. The two figures
to the right will denote her age and the
remainder the month of her birth.
For example, the amount is 800; she
is % years old and was born in the Sth
month (August).

Carpcted Rivers In the Sudan.

The search for convenient ways OF
transportation by which the products of
the Sudan may reach the outer world
has called attention to a remarkable
phenomenon Of vegetable life on some of
the head waters and tributaries of the
Nile. This consists of enormous growths
of papfrus and other plants, completely
covering the streams and forming car
pets of vegetation two or three feet
thick. through which flows the water.
Navigation by small boats is of course
entirely interrupted by this obstruction,
which is in places supplemented 10y vines
and clnging plants, which arch the
streams from bank to bank. Heavy
floods occasionally sweep away the accu-
mutations Of plants, but they are quickly
restored. Youths Companion.
