10 GO ON Vira Rial Will Run Between Skagway aud Haines,

The staunch and swift little steamer Vira Rial will be put on the run to Haines during the present week. The little steamer, which has been on the beach receiving a thorough overhaul ing. will probably be launched today, after which she will soon be ready for business and in better condition than she has ever been. It k the purpose Of thc owner Percy Hunting, to put the vira Rial on a daily schedule if the business shall be found to pay sufficient y. An eIort will be made to secure a mail contract for a daily service, and 10 is hoped that Skagway merchants will render Mir. Hunting assistance in get ting and holding the trade of Haines.
 In connection with the maintence of a daily boat between Skagway and Haines, it has been suggested that en- couragment should be held out for the development of the fisheries industry down the canal. Some of the best hal ibut banks in the North are between Skagway and Haines, and there is a market for halibut in Dawson and Whitehorse and other interior points. The development of this industry would furnish work for the Nira Ria and help Co keep her on @ daily schedule and at a profit.

QUICK POCKET-PICKING.
Incident That Took Place in New
York BOwery Which L. Both
Strange and True.

This occurrence, improbable as it
may seem, actually happened in this
city, says the New York Sun.
A certain large pawnbrokerage
house which has number of separate
places of business employs an expert
accountant to examine its accounts
once a month The accountant has a
fine gold repeater and stop witch
which was given to him by his father
and for that reason is valued by him at
even more than its intrinsic value.
This accountant, who lives in Brook
Q Ign, went to the pawnbroker's the
other day from his home. He crossed
the Tenth street ferry and reached the
Bowery on a cross-town car, walking
the rest of the distance to the store.
Instead of passing through the pri-
vate hall toothe rear office, as he does
usually, he entered the section where
the loans are made. As he passed
through the door he encountered a
young man who was rushing out in
such hurry that he almost knocked
down the accountant. Behind the
counter one of the clerks was laughing
and holding something in his hand.
"What's the joke" the accountant
asked him.
why" answered the clerk. that
fellow who just rushed out wanted SO
on this watch. He said he had bought
it for $40. The watch isoworth $3.50,
so told him to wait a minute until l
could call up the police and find out
where he had got it for that insignifi-
cant sum. You saw how he waited"
Let me see that watch" said the
accountant.
He looked, then clapped hisohand on
his watch pocket. The pocket was
empty.
That's my watch:'' he said, and
opening the case showed toothe clerk,
no less surprised than was the account
ant, the inscription his father had had
engraved on the inside cover.
The thief had picked his pocket prob
ably in the crowded little car, and had
rushed to the pawnbrcoker's beating
him there by only minute or two.

BOTHERSOME ADIPOSE.
Humorous Instances of the Incon-
venience Caused by Being
Too Fleshy.

Dr. Simonton is very keen on ad-
vancing in his professions; the healing
art has no more Jealous devotee. Alas
for his ambition, he quite neglected the
regimen of the late Mr.. Banting, so
that. when he applied for the post of
assistant surgeon on board one of the
ships of the United States navy the
committees of selection politely reject
ed him on the ground that he was
too stout to get through sthe hatch
ways. relates London Tt-Bits.
Two years since the guardians of
Petworth, near Ashford, were obliged
to refuse admittance to a female
pauper in consequence of her excessive
corpulence. Firstly. because they had
no clothes large enough to fit her
massive person; secondly, because she
could not walk upstairs, and by reason
of her abnormal avoirdupois the work
house officials were unable to lift her
from the ground.
AT the time when an Ohio damsel
became engaged to the man of her
choice she weighed but ten stone-a
moderate weight, but before the date
set for the marriage it reached the
alarming figure of % stone. This was
too much for her fiance, who promptly
cried off, sonly ,to find himself sued
for breach of promise the deserted
lady declaring that. as her excessive
weight-an insuperables;bar to other
otfers-had accumulated during To-. n
engagement, her lover had, by un6uly
prolonging his courtships beenoguilty
of contributory negligence. :.
While strolling through a French
fair Lablache, the celebrated singer,
man of enormous proportions was
accosted by an irate Snowman, who,
with much indignant gesticulation, in
quired what was the use of exhibiting
a fiat man" when the public could see
one much bigger for nothing. 1t was
taking the bread out of an honest
mans mouth-that it was! gTickled
with the humor of the situation La
blache gave the man a handsome
gratuity, and laughingly promised to
quit the fair ground forthwith.
On another occasion, when leaving
Covent theater after rehearsal the
same singer found that his carfis &c
had not arrived. A ofourwheeler was
therefore hailed, into which, with
some difficulty, Lablache hoisted him.
self, poised on the edgesof the smaller
seat. To change his position was
necessary, but as he rose to do so the
floor of the vehicle, constructed only
to bear normal weight, gave way with
crash. and the celebrated artist
found himself standing in the road.
From this awkward position he was,
amid the laughter of the onlookers
and the objurgations of cabby, extri-
Gated with no little difficulty.

Simple bookkeeping.

The supervision of every store should
extend to the books.
The simplest is always the best
method of expression. Why use a pen,
penholder. ink and erasers, when a
pencil with a rubber on the end will
supply all demands better, cheaper and
with less labor.
Is there any good reason why a re-
tail merchant should not keep his
books in lead pencil? One of Chicagos
largest wholesale houses does.
If pencil is used. then the books used
can be of cheaper paper and CORE
spondingly less expensive. Therefore,
l think a retail merchants books should
be kept with a hard lead or indellible
pencil.
1t is easier, cleaner, takes less time,
and makes the correction of errors
quicker and easier. Ink is no safe
guard against errors or dishonesty. 4
man can falsify and steal as easily
through ink as through pencil.
Bookkeeping is only memorandum
work, anyhow. Make it as simple and
easy as possible. Don't waste profit
in ink. 1t is the little leaks that eat
up the profits. Unnecessary labor is a
leak. Expensive paper in books is
wasteful. l believe in cheap paper
