A private letter fir ,m E. D. Howe states that he will shortly leave San Francisco for a short visit to the worlds fair. He will spend the winter outside and return to the interior of Alaska in the spring.
 MT. Howe writes: Alaska is not as bad as painted It is good to get outside for season, and then it is good to get back. Ram- part district looks, to me, just as good if not better than ever. It is not half prospected. The whole Hootlanana district, showing good surface prospects, is not yet touch ed, and there are paystreaks there without doubt.

PrCspector Finds No Room

Jack Sheedy. a wellknown old time Alaska prospector. arrived down from the Beaver creek coun- try with Ed Biedelman yesterday. He does not think well of the Beaver creek outlook, and is especially em- phatic ill cendemning the action of a few men ill stalking everything ill sight
 "1he country is staked for fifty miles square, said MT. Sheedy, "and when l spoke of prospecting people said There is no chance to prospect here. 1 banned Oh rim rock in several places and got pros poets that lead me to believe pay streak may exist somewhere in the country, but saw nothing to con vince me that one has already been found. Every one l spoke to said he knew of nothing better than good prospects.

Sheedy was at work on Birch creek, and when he heard of the Beaver creek strike he immediately went into Circle and outfited, with a view to taking chances in pros pectirg along with the balance He and two companions went into the Beaver creek section, undergo ing much labor and expense; and he feels that it is unjust for a few mcu Co lly claim to the whole re- giol and practically force him ,C leave.

Seatt|e's Former Mayor Would Like
 To Be District Judge.
Will Be on the Ground in
 Case of a Vacancy.

Judge Thomas J. Humes, late mayor of Seattle and formerly judge of the King county (Wash.) supe- rior court, is somewhere oil he Yukon between here and Dawson He left that place on the Monarch ten days ago on his way to Fair banks. The boat is supposed to be fast in the Flats. Ii has long been ru- mored that Judge Humes aspires to succeed Judge James Wickersham as judge of this (the Third) district of Alaska. Interviewed ill Dawson regarding the matter, Judge Humes said:
 II am frank to say that I am a candidate for a place in the Alaska judiciary. Furthermore, I have made efforts to secure an apLcint- meut, ill the idea that vacancy may occur. However. if Judge Wickersham does not vacate his office 1 will not move to secure an appointment in his place If the position does become vacant I will be on the spot and may be fortunate enough to secure the office"
 Being a republican, tue following touching Judge Humes' career from the democratic Seattle Times is not without interest:
 After twenty-three years of life i'll Seattle, a varied career as mining lawyer i'll Montana, Colorado, Ne vada and other mining states, the nominee of his party for many i'm portant pests and the rossessor of a number of prominent and lucrative positions, Tom Humes is broke Not that he is absolutely without money, but the fortunes of the ex- ecutive who was for years popular idol are at low ebb.
 Ut is all because he was too good to his friends. Because men were Or professed to be inte;ested in him and because they at least pretended to help him politically, Tom Humes gave cheeriully to aid them. He sacrificed his own political future to help others, and the only repayment was an ever.increasiug drain on his own finances.
 When he Jeff the mayors office, Tom Humes frankly confessed he was broke. He declared then that he would have to go back Co hi. profession ior livelihood.

REQUISITES of a Good Short Story.

ST. p" has recently published some
interesting results of an inquiry
among editors with regard to their re-
quirements in the matter of accepta-
BILE short stories. The opinions were
various but the following require
ments were generally implied: The
author who would succeed in produc-
ing available matter in this form of
literary art should take care that his
story is:
First-Unhackneyed in conception.
Second-Well constructed.
Third-Well written.
Fourth-Humorou or sentimental
or pathetic.
Fifth-A comment on life.
Sixth, and finally, it must be inter-
esting.
"All that | ask of short story"
says one well known authority, sis
that it will compel one to read it to
the end''-which reminds one of

ABOUT ST. sWiTHIN's DAY.
Ancient Superstition That Still Lin
GERS in England.


gers in England.
st. Swithins day was July Is and in
England there is superstition that IL
it rains on that date the succeeding
forty days will be wet and if, on the
contrary St. Swithin's day be fair
then the succeeding two-score days
will likewise be pleasant. The super
stition is venerable, for one old his
torian remarks that ''St. Swithin.
holy bishop of Winchester, about the
year $50, was called the weeping st.
Swithin, for that about his feast
Praesepe and Aselli, rainy constella-
lions, arise cosmically and commonly
cause rain"
Another version of the story is that
the good bishop left orders at his
death that he should be buried in the
open churchyard and not in the chan
Gel. The monks, however, disobeyed
the wishes of their head and laid him
to rest on July Is within the minister,
whereupon rain fell heavily and con-
tinually till on the fortieth day, the
offending priests became alarmed and
fastened to fulfill their dead bishops
request.
Statistics furnished by the officials
at Greenwich observatory discredit
the accuracy of the whole tale. The
figures for twenty years preceding

Der of rainy days after st. Swithin's
day followed a dry July Is.

Il would be glad to help you. Fred,

"but you must remember that l have
had college education. If there is
anything at your Office that you don't
exactly understand, all you have to do
is to say so and l will come down
and help you straighten it out"

Hobson's Bad Spell.

Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson,

Bankhead for the Democratic nomina-

in his younger days at least one ele-

spell.
While stationed at the Newport
News Ship Building and Dry Dock
Company's plant as an assistant naval
constructor, the hero of the Merrimac
incident was inveigled into an old
fashioned spelling bee.
On the second round he received the
word sorghum" Although native
of state in which that article of
commerce was an important factor in
the good old days before the war, the
young naval officers expression indi-
Gated that he never had heard the
word before.
He went at it, however. like pro-
fessional wrestler endeavoring to Sc
