Along this rugged route in the
heart of the mountains the scenery
is grand beyond anything to be seen
on other routes, but if one wishes
to enjoy view of the scenery he
should pass over the road in the
daytime and in the summer. Little
Of the scenery can be seen by pass
ing through here in the winter in
bowling snowstorm, when it takes
two long nights and one short dav
for passage. Along\in the midst
of these mountains the snow in the
middle of January was sixteen feet
deep beside the railway tracks. At
Glacier the average winter snowfall
is from 40 to is feet, recorded by
government inspectors. Here-at

Here the track makes long loop"
The train passes near the base of
mountains on which glaciers in vast
fields appear and the track is so
near the mountains and the noun
tains are SO steep you cannot see
the tops. Over against the train
while at Glacier you can see the re-
turn side of the loop" smoke oc-
casionally rising out of the snow,
where train is running along un-
der snow sheds. Here the track
is graded against the banks over
which roof Of logs is placed slop-
ing away from the mountains so
that the terrible avalanches of snow
will go over the trains instead
taking them along into the caver-

trains for three days.
Travelling in British Columbia
and the Northwest Territories is
pretty expensive. While you can
get through ticket from Seattle to
st. Paul at the same rate charged
by the other lines the local fare
through the mountain sections is
five cents mile and four cents
through the prairie sections, while
the hotels of the railway company
along the line charge $500 a day.

Yayapal OIL Fields.

Joe Hobbs has located some oil claims in Lonesome valley which are very promising. He has recently had them examined by an expert oil man from alifornia, who was so we'll pleased with the prospect that he left immediately to secure a boring outfit and will commence operations at once drilling for oil. The Yavapai oil company also expects to commence drilling about January lst, so that there promises to be something doing in the way of prospecting for oil in the early part of the year. Should experiments prove as successful as the surface prospects indicate it would be one of the most important events that has ever happened to this section and would give Prescott such a sub- stantial boom that it would result in doubling the population of the town within the next two years.-Journal- Miner.

Only Makes a Bad Matter Worse.

Perhaps you have never thought of it but the fact must be apparent to every one that constipation is caused by lack of water in the system, and the use of drastic cathartics like the old fashioned pills, only makes bad matter worse. Chamberlain stomach and liver tablets are much more mild and gentle in their effect, and when the proper dose is taken their action is so natural that one can hardly realize it is the effect of a medicine. Try 25 cent bottle of them. For sale by all druggists.

 Cough Remedy.

Mir. Arthur Chapmany writing from Durban, Natal, South Africa, says: ''As proof that Chamberlain's cough remedy is cure suitable for old and young, l pen you the following: A neighbor of mine had child just over two months old. It had very bad cough and the parents did not know what to give it. I suggested that if they would get a bottle of Chamber lain's cough remedy and put some up- on the dummy teat the baby was suck ing it would no doubt cure the child. This they did and brought about a quick relief and cured the baby. This remedy is for sale by all druggists.

The HUnI0F or
Richard Harding Davis

MY experience with the naive hu-

Davis is of very recent date, writes
Father Time. l have long known and
admired the fine satire of his story of
how he and certain exalted person.
age together freed the struggling Gu
ban from the thrall of his Spanish
Oppressors.
How in the stiffness of the night,
accompanied only by his valet, Mr..
Davis kidnapped Gen. Weyler, dwelling
in the fancied security of his bathtub
in the palace at Havana, and sent him
back to Spain in an oaken chest ad
dressed to the king, and labeled For
a good boy" is now one of the greatest
historical jests of the ages. Since that
time Mr.. Davis humor has mellowed.
With passage of the years from
eighteen, when his literary career pc
gan, to twenty three, which is now his
acknowledged age, his fun has grown
ripper, and withal less substantial. This
has been shown within the last six
weeks, during the gentleman's seques-
tration as a war correspondent at Yo-
kohama.
Starting from home with the sole OBJ
ject Of staring into the face of grim
visaged War, and If possible making
that frightful demon smile, Mr.. Davis,
with others, has found himself COM

In things substantial as in things divine?
Amid the laugh
And chaff
OF efforts must the protoplasm quan
That il as well as he
Shall scale the heights of misery?
What fancied hellebore of ancient things
Can teach our kings
That man upon this sphere that twirls so
fast
Can never last,
Unless. forsooth. he peradventure seeks
Until he finds the universal cleeks
That honk the globe and still the raging
fires
OF him who in his soul aspires
To charity
And clarified mundanity?
The sages speak. so lend an ear
Unto this warning clear,
That like the clarion Semaphore

Mr.. Austin wrote this charming bit
some three years ago, and while it has
been recited most expresSively at char
ity bazaars by Mrs. Brown Scooter, and
quoted several times by orators in the
house of lords in speeches in defense
of the administration of the British war
office, no one as yet has perceived the
subtle jest involved in its production,
which is, in short, that it doesn't mean
anything and never was intended to.
Mr.. Austin is constantly doing little
things of this sort, and takes great de-
light in his quiet little joke upon the
lovers of his muse.

next morning, or possibly a week later.
The humor Of Mr.. Mansfield is OF a
robust order, but unquestionably effect
I've. Those who have seen him throw
super" from the stage into the top
gallery of theater at rehearsal say
there has been nothing like it since the
days when Edwin Forrest used play
fully to cast members of his company
over the footlights head first into the
bass drum. 1t has not been my good
fortune to spend much of my time in
his society, but what hours we have
had together have been fraught with
delight.
/ have always felt that the anony-
nous s-critic who called him the William
Travers Jerome OF the stage betrayed
wonderful intuition, although in humor
his style reminds me rather more OF
Samson than of any of the axe handlers
at present employed in the district at
torney's office.
One Of his jests that recall was per-
petrated some years ago when he was
preparing his superb production of "Ju-
lius Caesar" An inquisitfve reporter
asked him before he was quite ready
to divulge any of his plans whom he
was going to have TO undertake the role
of Cassius.
Pete Daley" said Mansfield with
wink at me.
Pete Dailey!" cried the reporter
why. DALEY weighs 268 poundsI Cas-
sius was thin"
Sir" said Mansfield. in those thun-
derous tones that wake up even the
dramatic critics, so he was. But Daley
will have the figure of a third rail after
three rehearsals with me-"
This readiness of wit amazed me and
filed me with admiration as well. /
could well understand from that mo-
ment why this great tragedian has al.
ways been so successful in keeping his
intentions. from the public and aehiev-
ing the laurels of his career without
the factitious aid of the press agent.

At one of these functions I chancedI
to meet him, telling tales of adventureI

raj Instead of finding him consumed
with wrath and disappointment at his
detention, he was the same happy, light
hearted epigrammatist as of yore.

lightly on the book, Il didn't expect to

a broad smile. TT has been skedad-

inclined to think it will turn up at St.
Petersburg before Christmas"
1t will be readily understood by the
chance reader how popular wit of this
sort is at the. japanese capital. It's
only danger is that it may make Mr..
Davis so beloved in his present envir-
onment that the mikado will not per-
nit him to leave Yokohama at any
time.

HILE 1 am perfectly aware
" that there are people in the
world at the present time who
laugh whenever the hunor of Hall
Caine is mentioned, l am myself quite
convinced of its tremendous vitality, its
marvellous subtlety and intense solid
arity. Next to Mr.. Alfred Austin, of
whom more anon, consider Mr.. Hall
Caine the greatest writer of humor In
the English language today, but his
work requires intelligent reading If his
humor is to be perceived. 1t is not
the kind of fun that strikes you roughly
in the risibles.
1t is not the bludgeonesQue orgie of
word-play that is so characteristic of
Punch, but insinuating, imperceptibles
sensuously appreciated, rather like the
delicate aroma of the violet than the
overpowering scentrifugality of the
gasoline motor car. To me personally
1t has always been a source of real joy
ever since first encountered 1t. This
was many years ago. When passing
through the Isle of Man on my way west
/ found Mr.. Caine, then very young
man, sitting supon a lonely beach, gaZ-
ing seaward at a point near GreWsome

Arrific storm was on, and over all was

lightning flash alone revealed the pres

faces of the passengers and crew, who
were calling Justify, but vainly, for help.

Some RecoIIecffons OF
Alfred austin

HAVE already alluded to Mr.. Aus
L tins clever work as poet. As
humorist he is. in my judgment, equal
Iy talented, although it viii take sew
eral generations to produce clientele
for his peculiar gifts in humorous
branches of literature. l will go SO far
as to say that believe the fun of
Caine will be sooner realized than that
of Austin, and while he may not be ap-
preciated at his true worth in five or
six centuries to come. if readers of the
year 5000 do not find him amusing
shall be very much surprised AS
sample of Mr. Austin's humor l quote
the following exquisite poem, which
has become a treasure in ali the pri-
yate anthologies of Great Britain:
Hope
Oh, cark incrusted canker of the heart,
Wherewithal shall ye and I do well our
part,
T'instill in British souls the main uplift
OF mortal thrift
