n ar the case, while the widow wept
and abused the cause of her sons
death. Loo ing sternly at the tiger
and pointing to the old widow, the
magistrate thus addressed the for
mer:
This poor old widow depended
for support on her son. He has been
,devoured by you. You beast of i'll
omen! On whom can she now rely
for a livelihood? Even if you are
condemned and put to death, how can
that compensate the widow for her
loss?"
Hearing this the tiger dropped his
head and seemed to be thoroughly
repentant. The magistrate, observ-
ing the change in the tigers demean-
or, continued:
LAS I now see you fully realize the
enormity of your crime and are sim
cerely sorry for what you have done,
I grant you pardon, and decide that
you shall henceforth act as the son of
the old widow, whose wants, both as
regards food and clothes, it will be
your duty to supply"
The tiger looked much relieved and
at once nodded a ready assent. He
was then released and scampered off
to the hills. The same evening he re-
turned carrying in his mouth a deer,
which he placed at the widows door,
after having scratched it with his
paw to give information of his ar
rival. The widow at once came out
to see vho was there, and beholding
the deer realized that it had been
brought for her by the tiger. She
sold the deer, and from the proceeds
of its sale she was able to live COM
fortably for some time.
These attentions on the part of the
tiger became quite regular and were
faithfully carried on without inter-
ruption for more than ten years.
Then the widow died, much to the
grief of her officially appointed son,
the tiger, who had found great pleas
ure in making the old age of the
widow much more comfortable than
it would have been had ner own SOD
been alive.-East OF Asia Magazine.

THE CHIPMUNK.

Here by this rock, beneath this moss. a
hole
Leads to his home, the den wherein he
sleeps:
Lulled by near noises of the cautious mole
Tunnelling his mine-lke some ungainly
Troll
Or by the ceaseless cricket there that
keeps
Tuning above him it's monotonous lutte:
Or slower sounds OF grass that creeps
and creeps.
And trees unrolling mighty root on root.
Such is the music Of his sleeping house.
Day hath another: it's melody
He trips to, made by the assembled flowers,
And light and fragrance laughing mid the
bowers,
And ripeness busy with the acorn-tree.
Such strains. perhaps, as filled with mute
amaze
The silent music of Earth's ecstacy-
The Satyrs soul. the Faun OF classic days.

OF DESERTED DYEA.
The Once Famous Alaskan Town Now
Has q Single Inhabitant.

Has a Single Inhabitant.
It has been just ten years since
George Carmack, "squaw man" ,"
and his two Indian companions,
"Shookum jim" and ''Tagish Char
lie," discovered gold on the rim Of
what is now known as Bonanza
Creek in the Yukon territory.
There was but one way to reach
The gold fields, and this was over
land from the head Of the Lynn
Canal. On each of the two tongues
of this canal and only few miles
apart, the Owns of Dye- and Skag-
way sprang up and competed for the
trade of the treasure seekers.
The name Skagway means Home
Of the North Wind" 1t opened the
White Horse route, shorter, but more
dangerous, to the goal. Dysa, an In
dian word, meaning to pack or to
load, was the headquarters for the
Chilkoot Pass.
Tickets we're sold from all points
to Dyes, and as early as May 1, 1897,
more than 1000 people were in the
little Indian town preparing to pack
over the mountains. Soon steel
cable tramway was built over the
Chilkoot Pass, the main Office OF
which was in Dyea.
Then the tents gave way to sub
stantial frame buildings. Numerous
hotels, stores and banks opened for
business, and the once Indian village
became a thriving city of 5000 peo-
pie.
Skagway also continued to grow,
but, says Leslie's Weekly, from diff
ferent cause. The White Pass was a
failure during the summer of 1897.
Scarcely ten per cent. Of the men who
used it ever reached Lake Bennett.
Hundreds gave up in despair and re-
turned to their homes in the States,
while many settled in Skasway and
engaged in various business enter
prises.
Finally the railroad was projected,
built and is now being operated from
Skagway to White Horse-a distance
Of 112 miles. The fare is somewhat
startling-S20 one way-the trip
from the terminus of one steamship
line on the Lynn Canal to the begin
ming of another just below the White
Rapids is made in fewer hours than
it took weeks in the days of 1897 and
1898.
This fixed the fate of Dyea. Its
struggle against TIE city with the
iroa horse was brief. Thousands of
dollars had been invested in land,
buildings and merchandise; a few
saw quickly the impending doom and
sold out at a small loss, others lin
gered in the hope that something un-
foreseen might happen to turn the
tide of fortune, only to be over
whelnei. in financial disaster.
The end soon came, and Dyea, with
it's former streets dimly marked by
indentations in the sand heaps, its
warehouses still bearing names of
merchants, hotels, banks and dwell
ings slowly yielding to the ravages OF
the elements and the vandalism Of
the Skagwayans, its wnarves, once
laden with produce Of immense value,
fallen to decay, is to-day absolutely
deserted.
Its name remains on the map, and
is mentioned in the Alaska directory
as "a discontinued post Office with
telephone communications with Skag-
way" The telephone communica-
tion' belongs to a man who has a
homestead claim in the suburbs" OF
the deserted city, and who raises a
few vegetables for the Skagway mar
ket.

now for several years, but has mani
tested no intention of retiring from
the activity Of q remarkable career.
She has shown what character and
achievement can be put into the rou-
tine Of quiet life. With a comely
form and physical vigor she has COM
bined high intelligence and a very
amiable temper. While she has de.
veloped to the utmost secretive dis.
position, this very thing has brought
her into prominence. She has risen
from the common herd and her fame
has gone out from Urbana to the ut
termost parts of the state, and beyond
Like most great men she had a good
mother. and she has improved upon
this inheritance right we'll.
The peculiar, perhaps unparalleled,
record of this COW is that for ten
years she has produced an average of
3S4 pounds of butter fat or AS pounds

butter for each and every day of the

In the same herd is another COW

and she has another record--a six
years record of 152 pounds butter fat,
or 1T pounds butter per year. While
this is almost a fourth better than the
average COW in the United States, yet
Rose produced two and half times
as much butter fat as Queen for that
long period. And in an exact com.

constructed mushroom houses. 1t is
desirable, however, to have tolerably
dry foundation for a mushroom bed.
The conditions of cellar can be made
suitable for mushroom growing, espe-
cially for amateurs who wish to so
into the business on small scale. BY
partitioning off portion of the cellar
and closing up the windows. most con-
slant and uniform conditions can be
obtained. Space under greenhouse
benches can be made especially suited
to mushroom culture, and many grow
ers take advantage of this space for
their propagation.
The most suitable soil conditions
for mushroom culture consists in sup
plying the beds with plenty of good
horse manure, mixed with loan or de-
composed sod, mixing about one-fourth
or one-fifth loan or decomposed sod
with manure. Either fresh or partially
rotted manure can be used, and this

use. The beds are usually made up
ten to IA inches deep, and in these are
placed the soil and manure for grow

of the bed until ready to spawn. This
answers the purpose of catching the

temperature of the beds has reached
about 80 to IS degrees Fahrenheit the
straw should be removed and the bed

PROFIT IN CONNER RCIAL
GROWING OF MUSHROOMS
Method Of Preparing Bed-cel1ars Sheds May


When mushrooms are grown for the
market on commercial basis, it is
essential that all of the conditions be
made as desirable as possible for
their growth and development. in Or
der that a large and profitable crop
may be obtained. 1t is necessary that
4 uniform degree of temperature be
maintained. and that the crops be Sc
e'uded from drafts and sunshine.
Total darkness, however, is not abso-
lutely necessary. since mushrooms
grow we'll In diffuse light. Uniform
temperature and moisture conditions
are more likely to exist in dark places
and it is for this reason that mush-
rooms are grown in the dark. Those
who grow mushrooms commercially
make use of cellars. barns. sheds,
tunnels and spaces under greenhouse
