the seance the kaiser would prepare
for him as a means Of setting him To

that an accident OF some KIND Isn't

The Compass Plant.

On the western prairie is found what is called the compass plant, which is of great value to travellers. The long leaves at the base of its stem are placed, not flat as in plants generally, but in a vertical position, and present their edges north and south. The peculiar propensity of the plant is attributed to the fact that both surfaces of its leaves display an equal recepHvity for light, whereas the upper surfaces of the leaves of most plants are more sensi- tive to light than the lower. The leaves thus assume a vertical position and point north and south. Travellers on dark nights are said to feel the edges of the leaves to ascertain the point of the compass.

GOES UP
ChilkOOt Jack Will Become
 a Chief

Chilkoot JacA, the well known resi- dent of Skagway, has received a call from his tribesmen to assume the title of chief of his clan, which bears the euphonious name, Klu-ns-at-tee. Jack received the letter bearing the call from Annahootz, Bean-kati-hooth, Yar-ouarn and Wosh-tee-nah, all of Chilkat, who address the head of their beloved Klu-na-at-tee as "Grand father" They ask him not to fall to ioin in the great feast which George Shortridge and the head men of the Chilkat Indians will give next week at Klukwan, and they ask that he also go to Sitka next fall, and there 10 take possession of his ancestral home They agree to go with. him to both places and say that othe of the clan will join in the journey, and do him honor.
 Chilkoot Jach, as the white man will always know him, is addressed by the name to which he is entitled as the head of his tribe, Yar-co-na-heen, in the call which has just gone forth from Chilkat. In the early day, before Jack was a chief. his Thlingit name was Kay-hick.
 The man who will soon become the head of his clan is a brother of Sitka Jack, who was chief in his day, but who is now dead. He is also closely related to Kluk-wan-tan.
 It is the intention of ChilkOot Jack to make his home at Sitka after next September.
 ChilkooJ Jack was among the first of Northern Indians to become a staunch friend of the white man, and he has remained steadiast is his friend ship. He inherited from his ancestors a right to the Chilkoot pass, and early in his career became a guide to people going into the interior by that route. While acting in this capacity on more than one occasion his frieudship for the pale face has been tested.
 It was in 1873 that the new chief of the Klu-na-at-tee clan. took George Holt, the first white man to scale the summit of ChilEoOt pass, across the divide. The Chilcat Indians, who en- joyed a monopoly of the fur trade with the Ind ans of the interior objected to the invasion of white men, and a number of them waited upon Jack and informed him that they had been selected to kill Holt.
 Without a moments hesitation, Jack replied:
 ''Very well, but you had better kill me, too. Holt Is my frien1 and it will be hard for you if you kill him and let. me live as a witness to the act"
 Jack belonged to a powerful family and Holt was permitted to make his way over the pass and down the Yukon.
 Since that day, near the Chilkoot Summit 3l years ago, Jack has more than once had to stand upon his an- cestral right to use the ChilkOOt pass as he saw ht and to interpOse his life between the lives of white men and death at the hands of the jealous natives,

The Experience of n school OmciRl
 Who Advocated It.
 This story Is told at the expense of a recently appointed supervisor of a public school in this city:
 One day she happened to be visiting a school where a young incorrigible was undergoing punishment for se- rles of misdemeanors.
 The teacher cited him as "the worst boy in the schoOl-one I can't do any thing with. I've tried everything in the way of punishment"
 Have you tried kindness" was the gentle inquiry of the other lady.
 "I did at first but I've got beyond that now"
 At the close of the session the lady asked the boy if he would call and see her on the following Saturday. A boy arrived promptly at the hour appoint ed. The lady showed him her best pie lures, played her liyelieSt music and set before him luncheon on her dain- tiest china. when she thought it about time to begin her little sermon.
 My dear" she began, "were you not very unhappy to have to stand in the corner before all the class for punish ment?"
 Please, ma'am," broke in the boy, with his mouth full of cake, that wasn't me you saw. It was Pete, and he gave me 10 cents to come here and take your jawlng. Philadelphia Ledg- nr

 A great many modern sword sorms are really nothing more than de- scendants, or, rather, Improvements, on the peculiar boomerang shaped sword of the ancient Egyptians, the parent of the sclmiter yataghan, falchion and saber. Africa, south of the Sahara, was perhaps the greatest museum for old swords in the world In the su- dan and central Africa the old sickle and boomerang shaped swords, which the ancestors of the modern negroes received centuries ago from the Egyp- tians. were still made and in use, More over the knights of Malta were at one time famous swordmakers, and their peculiar long, double edged blades, such us the crusaders carried, were exported 10 the Barbary states, where they were In, large demand. From there they Were taken across the Sahara to the Sudan and exchanged for ivory, and 1t was on this account that they were still found in central Africa.
 In the sixteenth century a peasant living on the outskirts of Toledo, Spain, Invented the famous Toledo rapier, which soon became the popular weapon all over Europe. Prior to that time the swords used in Europe were heavy affairs for hewing, slashing and cutting, but with the advent of the Toledo napier men had to learn to thrust as well as to hack and slash. With the napier came the art of fencing, the six teenth and seventeenth centuries be- ing the age of the sword par excel

Former White Pass People
 Strike if Rich

Frank Turner, we'll known in this city, who was at one time in the hotel business at Bennett and afterWard at Whitehorse, has struck 1t rich in Mex ico Mike King, also we'll known in Skagway and vicinity and formerly in the sawmill business at Caribou, is oP- erating with Mir. Turner.
 An Arizon paper just at hand says:
 "A sensation was caused in mining circles in Sonora the other day, when it was learned that Frank Turner, of Vie toria, B. C., and we'll known in this state, had discovered that some frac- tions exist d in the famous Mulatos mining zone, had staked them and had his application accepted tn the mineral office.
 "The MulatOs mine is a mountain of free milling gold ore going s6 per ton and plates up to 20 per cent. of its val ues. It has been worked for over 100 years and some l5 years ago was the center of a great scandal, when the samples were salted so they showed values up to sl5 per ton, and vas the cause of a gigantic lawsuit, when the vendors had to refund ST 500, 900 of the purchase price.
 Turner also, in January, bonded the great Pesquera ranch of 523,OO0 acres, and Mike Ki g, a famous timber ex- pert, is now iu London placing it on the market.
