burg lies the little village of Strobeck,
which has earned for itself an inter
esting celebrity. The village contains
1900 inhabitants, who are one and all
chess players. They may be said to
learn the. game in their cradles, for
among the first lessons taught to a
child by its parents are the moves in
chess and the first playthings 1t re-
ceives are chessmen. The. smallest
children are to be seen in their play
time sitting quietly together with a
chessboard before them gravely con
sidering the moves and in the even.
ing the old people meet to play their
favorite game. AT stated times In the
year there are chess tournaments in
which both the grown-up people and
the children take part. prizes being
given to the victors. Many people,
come to Strobeck during these com,
petitions to watch the peasants at
their games. The children even re-
ceive instruction in chess in the

CLEANING chamois trimmings.

Innings or facings OF chamois leath-
er upon garments may be cleaned by
rubbing all over with soft, white soap.
then sponge the leather with warm
soapsuds in which a little soda has
been dissolved. Wash this of with
lukewarm water, containing slight
percentage of soda, and finally dry
the facings between two towels. II
the chamois leather is not detachable
from the rest of the garment, care
should be taken that the latter does
not become wet also. Hang the arti-
Gle to dry in the shade and stretch
the leather straight and smooth while
it is still damp. for it must not be
ironed.

AN ALASKA ROMANCE.
What Came OF Long Journey for a
Sheet Of Music.

What CAME OF Long journey ~ q
Sheet Of Music.
A report from Alaska says that a
Mckenzie river Indian maid heard a
prospector in the Alaskan wilds sing
ing the familiar song, In the Good
Old Summer Time" The indian girl
determined to know that song.
The result was that the chief af the
tribe sent a caravan LOCO miles to
Dawson City IN the Klondike to get
the song for the maid.
On the way to Dawson the caravan
discovered a new pass through the
Rocky mountains, which shortened the
trail frorr the Indian village In tbs
interior to Dawson by 800 miles. Be
fore starting for the camp on the
banks OF the great river of the North
the warriors in the caravan heard that
there was a meat shortage in Dawson
amounting almost to a famine. Ia go
ing through the new pass the Indians
discovered a herd of caribou. most OK
which they slaughtered. The carcasses
were packed to a point near Dawson
and the meat famine relieved.
The Indian girl thus seems to be the
cause of the shortening of the perilous
route TO the coast and the cause of re-
plenishing the llrder. She was well re-
membered by the hardy miners in the
gold camp.
