summer paws in Alaska.

''When tell my friends that in Alaska
during the months Of June, July and Au-
guest we have almost continual sunlight
and that it never gets dark in the summer
months they invariably ask when We sleep,
said T. A. Cross, merchant from Coun-
ell, Alaska, in the Portland 0regonian.
''Wei, we sleep wherever We have the
opportunity. Very few of US have reg
ular time for going to bed and arising, ex-
cept the miners, who work on shifts and
have to be more methodical.
In the winter there is practically moth
ing doing, and the few people who stay
there can sleep all they desire. But when
spring opens up business fourishes. Every
one has to work all he possibly can, because
the summer is very short and great deal
has to be accomplished to make up for the
stagnation during the winter months.
The verdure and brush grow with rap
idity that is astonishing in the warm
months. Plants grow so rapidly that we
can raise berries and the harder vegetables
before frost sets in.

Saved By A ventriloquist.

Mr.. Fred High, the well known ven
triloquist and all around entertainer tells
the following strange story.
At Kansas City depot, where | was one
time waiting for the train, an Irishman sat
down on a rough box that contained cof-
fin. A faint voice was heard within the
box: 's0h, please, take me out of here,
Lana dying. The Irishman looked around,
and seemed utterly astonished when he
saw what he was sitting upon. The voice
still cried: please get me out of here. =
The Irishman said: ''ls the dead speak
ing To this question he only received
the faint moan: ''0h, OH
The Irishman called two of his friends
to his assistance and proposed that they
open the coffin and rescue the dead man,
as they all heard faint groan within, it
was decided to remove the lid, but as they
were in the midst of their work, middle
aged woman, in widows weeds, put in a
fierce objection. She ragged with indigna-
ton. 1t was explained to her that the
man was not dead, that he had called for
help. bat she said: 81 know that my
husband is dead, and | woun't have him
disturbed But the son Of Erin would
not allow mere widow to stop him in a
humane work. II heard the corpse
call for help he said, and if there is
any help to be brought to him Tn going
to bring it. So, while one man argued
with the woman in tears-she wept, sobb-
ed and seolded-they went right on, re-
moved the top from the box, and while the
woman shrieked and appealed to heaven,
they lifted the lid from the casket, and to
their utter surprise found the coffin filed
with TASKS Of gin, whisky and other pro-
ducts Of the Kentucky mountains.
The funeral that was supposed to be
billed for a small town in Kansas did not
take place that day for the want of corpse.
The supposed widow was smuggling this
contraband FIRE water into prohibition Kan
sas When ! boarded the train for Texas,
saw all hands were sharing the widow 5
grief, and, ike Rip Van Wrinkle, were
trying to drown their sorrows in the flow

PHILADELPHIA, June l7.-Angered by what
they termed ''impertinence and sassness" of
the negroes who focked to Ontario Square,
Thirteenth and Thompson streets, last night
to listen TO the band concert, mob of young
white men, numbering about 1000, attacked
the blacks and with sticks and stones literally
drove them out of the square.
For about an hour the race riot ragged amid
the widest excitement, and many of the com
batants are today nursing injured skulls and
faces. During the progress of the fight the
police were practically helpless, and even the
arrival upon the scene of a company Of Ma
tional Guardsmen failed to quell the riotous
spirit of the infuriated crowd.
As quickly as the mobs were dispersed at
one place they gathered in another, and, with
boots and bowls, swept the negroes before
them. The reserve squads from the Tenth
and Thompson Streets Police Stations were
called out, but in the face OF the angry whites
they could do little 10 protect the negroes.
Clubs were freely used. and pistol shots we're
fired to Brighten the rioters, but the turmoil
did not cease until the mob's fury had been
spent.
According to the best information that could
be obtained, the riot was started by young
negro, who made himself offensive to group
of Young white men and girls. IL is charged
that for some time the negroes, of whom there
are several thousand living in the immediate
neighborhood of Girard avenue, between
Broad street and the Reading railroad, CON
stautly crowd the square in such numbers as to
exclude the whites. Particularly is this the
case on The night of band concert.
As a result several outbreaks have occurred,
aud Thursday night riot similar 10 the one
last night gave the police considerable trouble.
IL was about $50 O'Clock when the melee
began last night, and in few minutes several
thousand men aud boys we're engaged IN a
fierce mot.
la hive minutes the negroes bad been swept
out OF the square aud the mob chased them
TO Broad street aud Girard avenue. Here a
stand was made. aud the struggle WAS renewed
with herceness that threatened TO result ia
tally 70 some Of the rioters.
AT the height OF the struggle company OF
militia made its appearance, and, with the aid
/ Of the police. dispersed the mob.
The negroes He'd down GirArd avenue, scat.
ier,uE ~ they ran into the side streets. The
whites we're after Them and mob ot more
than a thousand beaded down Eleventh street
looking for the fugitives. The negroes sought
shelter IN their homes, and not until every
colnr~i man Was of thc streets did the mob
give up the hUut.

Down on the Rio arande.

ITO give you an idea of what sort of
river the Rio Grande is III tell an ex-
perience that I had in getting across it
with derrick, said Raymond McDou-
gall, mining man from New Mexico,
says the Milwaukee Free Press. II was
a contractor in rock work in those days and
was taking my derrick from the east side
of the river in the Magdalenas. The der
rick was on four wagon wheels and four
mules were hauling it. | had my two
helpers along and one of them drove the
mules He was an oldtimer, which was
lucky, and if l had trusted to my own
Judgment | might have made mistake
that would have cost me my mules and
derrick, if not my life.
1--WE reached the Rio Grande an hour
before shutdown and | saw a wide river
bed, but no water-only dry sand from
one bank to the other. 1t was a new kind
of river to me, but my driver said that it
was all right-that it was a way the Rio
Grande had. The water was there, only
it was flowing through the sands under
the channel instead of in it. | being a
tenderfoot was for camping on the nearer
bank where the grass was good, but Nc
Cartney, the driver, said that would never
do unless was willing to take my chances
of staying there week or two; that water
sometimes came down the channel, good
deal of it, aud it would be well to get
across while we were sure that we could
'sWe started across over the dry sands
and | was thinking what an easy way it
was of fording a river, when Of sudden
the two lead mules were Aoundering in a
quicksand and the whole outfit came near
being drawn in. We got the two leaders
clear of the harness and the other two
mules drew them out, one at a time. We
hitched them up again and by making a
long circuit got past the quicksand and to
the other bank.
'By that time it was 10 o clock and
the moon had risen. The mules had Just
begun to climb up the bank when We heard
a roaring noise up the channel. 1t came
from wall of water that stretched from
bank to bank and was travelling toward US
fast 1t looked in the moonlight to be four
feet high, and there was high water behind
sending it on. We didn't need to holler
to the mules. They heard what was COM
ing and clawed up the bank ike cats.
''We got out all right, derrick and all
and there were not three minutes to spare.
Before we had finished our supper the
riverbed was full, bank high, with tor
rent that eddied and roared as it rushed
past our camping place as if it had been
sorry to miss US and would like TO get up
where we were There was not cloud in
the sky or a sign Of rain anywhere and the
flood may have come from cloudburst in
Colorado 200 miles away But it came
near getting us.
81 had learned one lesson, and that was
in travelling by wagon always to camp on
the farther side of stream And | had
learned to put no trust in the Rio Grande
