AN ATTEMPT TO
ASSASSINATE TAFT Z

Manila, Oct. 18-A report reached
the local police yesterday from a
priest that an attempt was made to
throw bomb at Secretary Taft while
he was attending a reception in his
honor, given at local college. A
careful investigation of the rumor
failed to disclose any foundation for
the statement, but every precaution
has been taken by the authorities to
prevent any such outrage. Secretary
Taft is being closely guarded by the
insular as we'll as United States Sc
cret service men. Besides, il is be-
lieved, there are no anarchists or men

A home into which family have
recently moved has been dedicated.
Friends met there and an impressive
ceremony, comprising chiefly of pass
ages of Scripture was carried out. A
mother might arrange a similar dedi-
cation of her own home. She could set
apart a day in which all of the family
could be present and each have part
in the ceremony. Songs and recitations
relating to the home life could be sung
or spoken. Some might try their hand
at original songs. The mother, also
the father, could give talk on the
meaning of the home and the children
could tell what the home meant to
them. Souvenirs of the occasion IN
the form of picture of the house or
family group photograph could be dis
tributed. Such an observance is espe
cially appropriate when new home Il
entered.

MINERS IN THE kLoND'ks.
Quiet, ProvIdent and Anxious to ose
Away as Soon 40 Possible.

Lack Of water Is the great drawback
10 mining in the Yukon, says Leslie's
Weekly. There is little rain during
the summer and the miner must de-
pend upon the melting SHOWS to swell
the streams for his summer sluiciug.
Villages have sprung up near the
creeks and living is shade higher
than in Dawson owing to the extra
freight Sending souvenir post cards
from these points becomes an expen-
sive remembrance, as the plain uDcol-
ored ones sell for $3.50 dozen. The
picturesque swagger miner OF Cripple
Creek, Creole and Tonopah is not
found here. The cost of getting in
is heavy, money is not always easily
made, and the winters are bitter cold
and depressing on account of the long
darkness. So the miner saves his
earnings until he reaches a more con-
geneal cline. To be sure, there are
men on the creeks who drink whiskey
and the hardest kind of whiskey-
and gambling goes on; yet, on the
| whole, the Klondike miner Is quiet,
provident individual, who devoutly
hopes that the gold fields are not
to be his permanent home.
A man who works for company
or individual mine owner receives
from four dollars to six dollars a day
and his board. Many of them do their
own cooking and live IN cabins near
the creeks. Flap-jacks (pan cakes)
bacon and coffee are their chief diet
during the winter, and in midsummer
1t requires a dexterous hand to turn
the flap-jacks before the mosquitoes
can settle on the unbaked side. The
old-timer who has seen the ice come
and go is known as "sour dough,
and these men are the aristocrats o.
the camp. The newcomer, or the mar
who spends his winters outside. Is al
ways known as "cheechako."

Possibly those who eat but little and

Most thin people drink too little, and
the majority of people drink too little
water. That is why there are more
thin than stout people.
