only for a moment, and here, too,
people were coming at the last min
ute to take the boat. Now, with a
long goodbye, we steamed away on a
450-mile run to the White Horse. 1t
is all up stream. At places we must
go against a five-mile current. At one
place we must catch hold of a steel
cable and haul ourselves over the
rapids.
Four days and four nights she
pounded away, stopping only when it
was necessary to take on wood or pick
up the mail at the mountain police
stations Many craft were floating
down the Yukon-steamboats, RATS
of logs and scows laden with freight
Of all sorts.
Now and then we passed a steamer
hung up high and dry on sandbar.
1t was five o'clock in the morning,
but the sun was shining brilliantly,
when we reached the famous Five
finger Rapids. 1t is thrilling to stand
on the upper deck and watch them
drop a boat down this chute, but it
is little less interesting to see her
push her nose slowly up into the
swift, narrow stream. When she has
gone as far as she can against the
current she catches the steel cable
that is made fast far up the river and
begins to draw herself up through the
narrows.
Up and up, little by little, she
creeps in the center of the stream
that rushes by so smoothly that it
looks, in the shadow of the wall, to
be perfectly still, like the stream that
flows from the nozzle of a hre hose
Only where 1t strikes and splits on
her nose we see how rapidly the
river runs.
When she is half way through, just
at the Swiftest and narroweSt point
when we can scarcely see whether
she Is moving at all-her bow begins
to lift. When she is over the crest
her nose comes down again and her
wheel gets out of the water. Then,
being perfectly helpless, she has to
be dropped bodily up to the level
surface of the wide pool of still
water, when her stern settles down
and her wheel begins to work again.
Not many people are seen on the
banks. Once in while we pass a
rude scaffold upon which salmon are
drying, and we know by that token
that a Siwash is somewhere near.
Passed Large Village.
At dusk one day we passed quite
village, The Indians all wore
clothes, the women shawls or blankets,
some of Jnem very bright and clean
looking. They ran along the trail
for half a mile, calling and holding
out their hands as if begging. They
seemed shy and strange and wild,
keeping always a little way back. SO

Second Half Pursifal"

To the many readers and students Of
the legendary stories of the "Holy
Grail" especially as understood in
Wagner's beautiful spectacle Of "Par-
sifal,' it's Christian symbolism and
teachings will be readily recognized
and appreciated. One cannot fail to
see in this work that it was the inten-
tion of the master mind that conceived
it to make it so natural and life-like in
action, so hi,hlan moral and instructive
in it's entire fabric. that it would for
ages endure as a forceful and constant
reminder of it's lesson. It was Wag-
ner s last work. It was his greatest.
Il will serve forever as glorious mon
ument to his immortal genius. II there
was no other work Of Wagner's extant,
I" Parsifal' would attest as to the
wonderful powers as a philosopher and
epoet Of the man who has left to poster
ity more than 800 works in poetry,
music and prose, and covering the en-
tire field of philosophy, art and science.
Its story, from beginning to end, is a
powerful exposition of the secret of re-
dee1ning love. The builder has con
structed So well, illustrated the subject
In so graphic and interesting man

LYcELllN
The Lost Paradise .

The first great labor play produced
in the United States, Z The Lost Para
dise,' is to be given magnificent
production by the Ralph stuate Stock
company at the Lyceum theater this
week: The full strength Of Mr..
.Stuart's large company will be hap
PLY utilized in this play.
Playgoers sat aghast when The
Lost Paradise, a play that dared to
treat of differences between labor and
capital, was first produced. It was an
unheard Of proceeding, and its presen-
tation was looked upon as decidedly
bold. The wonderful advances in the
march of labor during the past few
years had not yet been contaminated,
and employers and employees regarded
each other with far more suspicion
than they do today. Il was therefore
natural that. play dealing with
strikes, lockouts etc, would fall far
short Of convincing any body but labor.

WHAT THE BIRDS DO
Interesting Phases of Their Life Oh
served by an Old Soldier.

During the past season two little
orange and black birds of the oriole
family built their nest in front of cot
tage No. 2 at the Soldiers home. The
nest was made of threads of Irvine,
horsehair and other suitable material,
and attached to one of the lower
branches of a large elm tree directly in
front OF the door, over the walk and lit
tie above the reach of a walking stick.
Here it remained until its little brood
grew strong enough to take their flight.
hundreds Of persons passed to and fro
under it daily. .e.---......
1t was not evident at first why the
birds had chosen this branch, when the
yard was full of trees, and this tree
full of other limbs that seemed equally
available. But when the little brood
was Matched then came the marauding
birds particularly the bluejays-to rob
the nest; but t'the old boyso watched
the nest and frightened away the
marauders. It certainly seems to be a
case of both foresight and prudence, on
the part Of these little feathered bipeds,
who evidently knew they would not be
disturbed by the men, to whom they had
become familiar; and further, it would,
iends of their own kind, which it Ger.
tainly did.
During the season brown patches be-
gan to appear in the green lawns-a,
sure indication that grubs were at work
in the sod eating off the roots of the
grass. No sooner had they got well
under way when the robins took hand
in the game. The birds lit upon these
spots and began picking vigorously in
the sod andwould soon bring out grub,
The writer has watched them by the
hour and has never seen them make a,
mistake in locating their game, yet,
these grubs were under two inches of
sod. The bird either heard them work
ing or saw. by the moving grass blade
where they were located. During thsi
season of their young the birds would
at once fly away to their nests with the
white grub; but when the little ones
were half-grown they would come upon
the lawn, and taking secluded spot in
the shade, wait for the mother
