Missing Prisoner InveisIed Into a
 Trap By John Palm.
Joe MiquePs Six Days of Airing Caused Lot of Trouble and Cost Deputy Drake Over
 a Hundred Dollars.

Joe Miquel was returned to the Ram part Jail last Friday evening, after six days of airing and exercise along the frozen shores of the Yukon.
 Immediately after Miquel's escape Deputy Marshal Drake sent telegrams to have the lower river watched and also sent men up the river and to Glen to keep a look out; but it fell to the lot of | Mail Carrier John Palm to be the in- strument of the mans recapture. The runaway stopped at the Fish Creek mail cabin while Mir. Palm was there on his down trip Christmas Eve night. Mr. Palm pretended not to know him and engaged him to help with the mail and to do some suppositious trail work at point somewhere lower down. On leav- ing Fish Creek Miquel got turned around and thought the mail carrier was steering him back up the river. He was very suspicious, but stuck to his job. At Schieffelin Creek he was placed under guard and held till called for by Bob Schaber.
 At Panama MT. Palm telegraphcd to Deputy Drake the fugitive's where abouts.
 Miquel had evidently been planning his escape for some time. By assuming an air of perfect contentment and do- cility, he caused the guards to relax their vigilance It is not improbable that he is hardened criminal.
 Besides the annoyance and inconve- nience, the cost of searching for and recapturing Miquel amounts to over sl00. Deputy Marshal Drake has to foot the bill himself, there being no ap- propriation for such contingencies.

Meeting Last Thursday Evening at
 What Cheer Bar.
Resolutions Opposing Proposed $25 License Tax--Other Important Matters That Received
 Consideration.

Among the matters considered at the meeting of the Miners Association held at What Cheer Bar last Thursday even ing was that of settling disputes over mining claims outside of the courts. It is believed satisfactory scheme of arbitration will be devised and that needless and costly litigation will at least be greatly reduced
 Another thing that received the atten- tion of the meeting is the matter of the annual assessment work. It is probable that more uniform and just system of representing claims will be devised and that all claims will have to be properly represented in future or go back into the public domain.
 The miners are practically a unit in opposition to the proposed amendment to the mining laws substituting $25 tax for the $l00 worth of assessment work required on each claim. They con tend that the Seattle convention did not speak for the miners when it made the recommendation very few of the miners ever heard of the proposition until after the convention acted upon it. The fol- lowing resolutions were drawn up and adopted, and to expedite matters sim liar set has been sent into Rampant for signature of the miners on the Rampant slope. A telegram has also been sent to the Fairbanks Miners Association asking their cooperation in opposing the pro- posed change:
 ''To the Alaskan Committee of the Sen
 ate of the United States.
 "Gentlemen
 Whereas, Having learned that con vention of Alaskan delegates. (which met at Seattle, Washington, November 15, 1905, passed a resolution favoring q twenty annual license fee in lieu of the one hundred dollar assess ment work required by present law;
 Therefore, We, the miners of this section, protest that said resolution is directly against the best interests of the miners and prospectors of Alaska, inas- much as 1t would arrest development, curtail production and tie up claims in the interest of speculators."
 An executive committee was appoint ed, as follows. W. C. Bowen.. D,naIl Mclean, M < GiIl and D. w. Scott.
 FuFty-hve new members have joinei the association since the November meeting. and iS i- predicted that by the first oi next July all the miners iu the district sill ba enrsslled.

The Art af i6Iin~.

Cultivate the art of idIing.. There is no doubt that to be able to idle at will is a most valuable gift and one which Is becoming rarer every day. The art of loafing Is not properly understood by the majority of people. Much has been written on the subject. Steven son dealt with 1t in an essay; MT. Kenneth Grahame touched on 1t in Pagan Papers," and MT. Barry Pain has some Illuminating remarks on the subject in his Canadian canoe book. There is subtle difference between the views of these experts. MT. Gra- hame advocated absolute idleness. MT. Pain pointed out, with more truth. that the great art of loafing was to do the easiest thing and that sometimes 1t is easier to work than to be idle. This is the secret of the whole matter. The superficial idler thinks it his duty to be idle on every occasion. The man who has studied the subject knows that this Is an entirely erroneous view. There are times when we feel that we must be up and doing. If we sternly repress this inclination our peace is disturbed. The really scien- ti1c idler is the man who can idle at will.-London Chronicle.

Caterpillar Fever.

The symptoms of the aiIment known Do doctors as caterpillar rash" are in- tense irritation on the palms, and some dimes on the face, accompanied by a number of biisterlike swelIings which. when they OCCULT round the eyes, some times have the effect of obstructing vision. The preventive is to leave hairy caterpilIars alone As the palmer worm," the hairy caterpillar of the gold tail moth, one of the com honest and most beautiful objects of the country at midsummer, passes from hand to hand, it leaves on every palm few of it's loosely attached hairs, and those hairs are possessed, for the protection of the caterpillar against birds and browsing animals, of what scientists call "urticating prop critics" 'FUrtica" is the Latin for met de" Many other hairy caterpillars are almost as bad as the palmer worm," and as a general rule the less you han dIe any hairy caterpillar the better.- London Mail.

History of the Typewriter.

1.-The history of the typewriter is in- teresting," said an inventor. "The first patented machine was Henry Mills. It was as big as bureau and made no popular appeal. This was in England in 1714. The first type bar machine was made in America It's inventor was A. H. Beach. The patent was taken out in 1856. The Beach type writer was not practical. The first practical typewriter was invented by Latham Sholes in 1867. Sholes had for partners s. W. Soule and Carlos Gid den, but these two men became dis couraged and dropped out. It wasn't till some years later that Sholes got his machine ready for the market Then he took it to big firm of gunmakers, the Remingtons, and it at once began to sell on large scale. Sholes re- mained in the employ of the Reming- tons up to the time of his death"

Jackson I'm Triumph.

After the battle of New Orleans, says Thomas E. Watson in his magazine, when the victor had been crowned with laurel fin the cathedral and acclaimed like demigod through the streets, it was of his mother that he spoke to the officers whom he was about to disband their glorious work being done. |Gentlemen, if only she could have lived to see this day" AS you follow the narrative of Andrew Jackson's ca reer, you will hear him say many things that you will not approve, will see him do many things which you cannot applaud, but when you re- call that at the very top notch of his success and his pride his heart stayed in the right place and was sore because his mother could not be there to glad den her old eyes with the glory of her son you will forgive him much in his life that was harsh and cruel and ut teriy wrong.

The Benefit of Exercise.

Exercise does for the body what the mountain side does for the stream of water. When the water runs down the mountain side 1t is a babbling brook, Ieaping out into the air now and then, throwing itself into spray, exposing it. self to the air and sunshine and the waters are crystal pure. In the valley or on a level plain the waters may form stagnant pools and get covered over with slime of all sorts and inhabited by all kinds of filthy creeping things. Some people let themselves get into the condition of that stagnant pool and then wonder why the frogs croak in their brains and why the birds do not sing instead. When person gets into che condition where the body is like a stagnant pool radical change must be made in his life. He must begin by getting vitaized, new blood into all his cells and tissues.-Good Health.

Graves and Gravedixrer..

"Gravedigging is not a gay busi- ness," said a gravedigger, ''but it is a very old one, and many curious super stitions surround it. One of these is never to buy new spade. To dig a grave with spade that is new is sup posed to bring death in the family with in a twelvemonth. Hence gravedig- gers buy their spades second hand as a rule. Another superstition with some is that a grave should never stand open overnight It should not. they say, be dug till the day of the funeral. If 1t is made the day before, beware. There is a third superstition that if a cock crows once while grave is being dug one friend of the digger will die; if 1t crows twice, two will die; if thrice, three"

Resin

The resin of the shoemaker and id dler is obtained from different species of the fir tree-as the Scots fir, the larch and the balsam fir of Canada. It is we'll known that a resinous juice exudes from these trees, which hardens into solid tears. The clear juice itself, before it has dried up by coming to the surface, is known in commerce as tur- pentine and is in the main composed of oil of turpentine and resin. When the juice is distilled, the of comes over, and the resin remains behind. When the distiliation is carried on to dryness, common resin is formed, but when water is mixed with it while yet fluid the resulting mass Is the variety called yellow resin, which is more preferred for most purposes because 1t is more ductile than the former, owing prob ably to it's containing some oil.

EnRIand's Youngest Bride.

The youngest bride who was ever led to the altar in England, so far as we can discover, was little Catherine Apsley, who had only seen four sum- mers when she became the wife of the first Earl Bathurst, who was exactly double her age. The tiny ring worn by Catherine on this occasion, over two centuries ago, is still preserved. Lord Bathurst survived to see the eighty-third anniversary of his we'd ding day, while his lady was a wife for seventy-six years.-London Chronicle.

Robin was a real character. a young Irish doctor who had been forced by a scandalous ad- venture to leave Ireland and seek his fortune fin England. Chance threw a rtch patient in his way, lady of qual- iW, and at her house he met Lady Caroline. and the result was a case of love at first sight on both sides. Her parents objected and sent her away, and during her absence she produced the song

The Orange Tree.

The orange is the longest lived fruit tree. It begins to bear the third year after budding, and for 100 years it will yield abundant crops. Orange trees have been known to attain the ripe age of 300. The orange requires less care and attention than any other fruit tree. It's early growth is rapid. In the first two years it grows more than 1t will in the next fifty. This refers of course to it's height and breadth alone its fruit stems and consequently its crops increase more rapidly after the first ten years.
