A Bum Trail.

We wish to take exception to
some of the statements published
last week in letter criticising Us
for the stand we took i'm regard to
the ferry matter. The writer saws
III the PRosPEcToR had taken the
trouble to inspect the work they
would have found good 10 foot
trail" The PRospEcroR has inspec-
ted the trail, during the summer
and since its completion. At
neither time did we find Il
good 10 foot trail. The minority
report calls it s feet wide. and had
the committee inspected the trail
for its entire length, they would
have found much OF it not over
four feet wide. We object to the
words "1S5 feet of bridging" as
being misleading. The bridges
might do for Shedding over if there
was snow enough, but in their pres
ent condition are dangerous to take
horses over, and will more than
likely start for the narrows with
the first high water.
In April Rudolph Bros. agreed
TO construct and operate u ferry
across the lake stream, construct
and keep in repair bridges wherev-
err necessary to insure a dry road,
and cut ten foot road over the
dryest ground possible from Valdez
to the government trail" All sum-
mer, during the high water, trav-
elers have had to ford the streams,
and within the past few days an
attempt has been made to put the
trail in such shape that the bonus
money could be collected. The
trail has not been completed ac-
cording to agreement. They have
not cut a ten foot road through
the timber to the government trail.
They have not constructed service
able bridges across the streams.
Does it show good taste" or
good policy" to spend public mon
ey for work that is only half done?
We think not.

Had the telegraph wires not been
down between here and Eagle, the
PRosPEcToR would have had full
account of the narrow escape of the
President and the wrecking of the
Cottage City in the last issue. The
first and only news of these incl
dents was telegraphed exclusively
to the PRosPECToR and bulletins
were placed in prominent parts OF
the town on Saturday evening. A
rumor of the wrecking of the Cot
tage City in some way gained pub
LEFTY but was not confirmed until
the bulletin appeared.

THE SUMMER GIRL.

There are two types of summer girl
this season.
The old-fashioned sort, she of the
trig linen skirt, all sweeps and flutters,
the blouse with it's graceful .bagginess,
the sailor hat with it's tufts of yelling
and jaunty ribbon streamers-the girl
with the jaunty appearance, always
gracefully ready to row or bowl or play
tennis or golf or go sprinting. This
old-fashioned type is still in evidence,
bless her, and she will be conspicuous
at all the resorts.
The new style is directly a piazza or
auto girl.
She is a real human creation of frills
and founces and tufts and puffs of dia-
phanous fabrics, veritable feathery
cloud of misty fabrics that cannot be
subjected to wind and weather without
a chance of turning into decidedly I'M
becoming liInpness. This second type
cannot be warranted to wear. But she
is sure of admiration and adulation
within her own sphere.
The cleverest summer girl will make
compromise with these styles. A
part of the day she will play herself
up as the piazza type-meantime en-
vying the other sort out in the deli
ciously free-apd- easy scope of genuine
summer pleasure.
Another part Of the day she will go
in as a real outdoor sort-meantime
envying the piazza type, who is fluffy
radiant and fascinating, the loveliest
ever admired by the passing throng.

STRONG PULSE BEATS.
Cases in Which They Are Perceptible
to the Eve.

to the Eye.
ut isnot such an uncommon thing
said a physician, ito find a person
whose pulse beats can be plainly seen,
and yet 1 suppose there are but few
outside fthe profession who realize
the fact. In most persons the beat
of the pulse cannot be perceived, but
the mere fact that the beating is per-
ceptible does not mean that the pulse
is other than normal. 1 have come
across a number of cases where the
throbbing of the wrist could be plainly
seen, and yet the persons rarely gave
evidence of abnormality in tempera
ture. They were rarely feverish, and
were in good physical condition gen.
orally. Pulses of this kind, from this
view, which is based upon actual OBJ
servations of cases, do not indicate
anything more than an abnormal phys
ical condition in the formation of the
wrist veins.
81 have met with one case which was
possibly a little extraordinary, in that
it was palmer and much more dis
tinct than any 1 had ever seen before.
1t could almost be heard. The artery
would rise to a point almost as large
as the bali of the little finger of a
child, and would change from the white
of the skin to blood purple with each
beat of the pulse. / found it easy to
count the pulse beats without touching
the patients wrist. 1 could see plainly
enough to keep the record. and in order
not to err in my calculations, tested it
in several ways and found it was cor
rect and that there was no mistake in
my counting with the naked eye

FEAST OF THE SACRED HEART


(By Eleanor c. Donnelly.)
The chapel is bright with its myraid
The fairest and freshest of blooms are
there:
High Ger the altar. the incense vapors
Float thro' the hush of the perfu'd air
The sweet-voiced choir cease their sing
ing,
Respondent rays from the mostrance
dart
And the bell of the benediction ringing
Hallows the feast of the Sacred Heart
o dear, dear feast! we have watched thy
coming
Thro' the long, glad days of this golden
While the birds sang clear, and the bees
were humming
Over the flower beds, morn and noon.
From the. sunrise-glow till the stars were
burning,
Like glittering lamps in the summer
skies
Our hearts to the great Heart ever turn
Longed for its fiesta with prayers and
signs.
Welcome, o day of supreme salvation!
Welcome, acceptable time of grace!
Beautiful hour of loves PREPARATION,
Hither, dear souls, to the light of his
face.
Haste, while we may-'tis a pitiless
craven
That sports with the pleadings of In
finite Love
Cras, cras, is the cry of the raven,
Nunc, nuns, is the notesof the dove.
What tho the spirit be STEPPED in sor-
row?
What tho the soul be heavy with sin?
Today. if we call, he will hear; tomor-
row
His heart may be closed, would we en-
ter in.
Swift from the letters of hell He frees us,
Washing US white as the snowiest
fleece;
Deep in the glorious Heart of our. Jesus,
Grief is forgotten, and all is peace!

choice brand of hasheesh to all appear
ances. When he started for the office
ne hlled the pipe again and smoked
II until he was out of the house. Then
he put it carefully in its case and filled
the old brier
II was not very hard for him to be-
sln smoking the meerschaum again
When he returned that evening If it
mad been, Mrs. Henniker's delighted
smile would have been compensation
enough. But it was rather hard to
nave to smoke it in the big arm chair
after dinner. That was the particular
time of all times when the old brier
was dearest to his soul. Presently a
bright idea occurred to him.
Mllly,' he said, Il have a thought.

ttul pipe of yours to this day. 1t is
10 be my birthday pipe. 1 shall smoke
II only on the anniversary of this day.
! snail put it away in my treasure
drawer for the rest of the year, and
we will sit together and remember this
evening as I smoke it. / won't take
any risk of breaking it by smoking it
on ordinary days. It's too fine for
every days"
Nothing is too fine for you. Tom"
said his wife. 1T was a beautiful
thought. and just like you, but L shall
feel hurt if you don't smoke it all the
time"
OF course there was nothing to .be
said after lat. Henniker thought he
would better make up his mind to make
the best of it, and that perhaps after
all the meerschaum would improve in
course of time. He did not tell her
how it burned his tongue. The bore
of it was wrong, and he was afraid
to try to enlarge it for fear of split
ting the amber. So he smoked the old
brier surreptitiously. The duplicity of
the thing poisoned his existence and
made him toss in his sleep so that
Mrs. Henniker suspected business trou-
bles and worried, too.
One day as Henniker was filling the
meerschaum, its shining Surface slipped
through his fingers and it fell. With a
quick movement he stopped and caught
it before it reached the ground, but
he trembled to think of the nearness
of the disaster. What if he had
broken it!
