papa, so immediately made up my
! mind that The best way TO prove my
repentance and show my respect for
you was to conform blindly to your
counsels.
This is how set to work to practice
them that very day

People from the interior, bound for
Puget Sound points, have been delayed
at Skakway as much as week, because
the regular steamers were crowded
with tourists.
The forest fires of the North are not
confined to the vicinity of Skagway
The Atlin Claim says there are fires in
the vicinity of that place, and Dawson
papers complain of fires raging in the
Klondike. Great damage is resulting
from the fires in both camps and efforts
are being directed toward fixing the
responsibility for them.
The figures of the customs house
show that there were shipped to Alaska
during June goods to the value of
S727,457. This represents the first ship
ments of the year to the points on Ber-
ing sea and on the Yukon, and gives
some idea of the value of this trade to
Seattle, which furnishes the great bulk
of the Alaska shipments.
The Tidewater Consolidated Coal
Company, of Coal Harbor, Alaska, has
let a contract for the construction of a
small railroad and coal bunkers to the
Moran Brothers Company, of Seattle.
The coal will be placed on the markets
of Pacific Coast. 1t is claimed that the
product will excel anything that is
now being mined on the Pacific Coast.

behind the bars. The name of the
highwayman is Hendricks and he was

My Dear Mrs.
Yours in confidence,
Mrs.

My Dear Nus .----
Yours is case that stirs the Stroll
ler's sympathetic nature from Dan even
unto Bethsheba. He cannot tell you
to fly at once to him, for under the cir
cumstances, it would cause talk
among the neighbors.
The Stroller knows how to sympa
thise with you, for during his college
days he had roommate whose snoring
would make buzzsaw throw up the
sponge. His snoring, however, stood
him in good hand in later years as it
was the means of getting him pardoned
out of penitentiary. 1t was deemed
better to pardon him than drive 400
other inmates insane Sometime your
husband may be able to realize on his
snoring in the same way.
Four years ago, Mrs. ----,a a
bride on Bonanza creek came to the
Stroller with tale of woe similar to
yours. She had married her husband
for the reason that he had struck 40
cents to the pan. He was raised in
Missouri where he ate dozen ears Of
green corn daily for three months every
fall. That was why he always put up
at livery stable instead of at a hotel
when he struck town.
This man snored until his wife, in
her despair, wept out her misery and
told her sad story on the Stroller's
shoulder. According to her descrip-
ton of "Bill's" snoring, your "Dear" is
only an amateur. Her "Bill" would
have the whole house rocking before he
was asleep fifteen minutes and the mo-
ton made her seasick.
The Stroller advised her to secure a
sort of nose mask for "Bill" and attach
a hose to it, allowing the latter to pass
out through a knot hole and extend
over on the next claim or down shaft.
A month later the Stroller was greet
ed by a lady who entered his office in
regular cake walk style and singing
something about "Tse as happy as
clam when the tide am slack" 1t was
his friend from Bonanza. She said the
nose mosk and hose had worked like
charm: that "Bill" had soon become
accustomed to wearing it; that he rip
ped and sawed away as usual, but that
all the noise was at the end of the hose
at the ; bottom of the shaft where
"Bills" action on it was thawing over
ton of pay dirt every night.
You, Mrs-----,mi might adopt the
same method with good results.

THE sTROLLER's ADVICE

The following is one of the good
things published in the Stroller column
of the Whitehorse Star:
Whitehorse, July 81, 1905
Dear Stroller:-Although less than
two years married, am the unhappiest
of wives. Not that my husband treats
me unkindly, for he does not. On the
contrary, he is the personification, the
very embodiment, so to speak, of
husbandly attention and devotion. Yet
he is driving me to a premature grave
and he is not. conscious of it. He is
literally killing me with his ferocious
snoring.
You have probably never Travelled in
a Dutch immigrant car at night? Well,
what you would hear there would be a
canary bird chorus compared with the
rum blings, vibrations, detonations and
snorts my husband keeps up for eight
long hours every night.
prod him in the back with my ell
bow but he only misses one stroke then
starts off an octave higher and he-haws
with renewed vigor. Sometimes he
gets tenor twirl on it like bandsaw
cutting through knot, then he will
sink into bass solo that causes me to
writhe in spasms.
During the present summer months
l manage very we'll, as sit out on a
stump in the yard and read all night
and then sleep in daylight when my
