A Little Bear story

journey Of / 500 miles down the Yukon
river, made with a single companion
in a light Peterborough canoe. Mr..
Gilmore examined a great many gravel
exposures; usually cut banks on the
Yukon, or on the streams running into
it. On the MOI, river, a stream rum
ming into the Yukon from the south,
a vertical bank was observed pierced
by a number Of holss. Just below
these holes a little shelf ran along
the bank and the sand martins had
been breeding in small holes exca-
waited in the face of the bank For a
lfttls distance above the shelf, how
ever, appeared larger, holes, and an
examination of the locality showed
that a little bear-as shown by his
footprints and clawmark ks had walked
along this shelf and had enlarged
all the swallows nests that he could
reach and dragged out from them
young and eggs, which he Of course
devoured. The little fellows path
was strewn with feathers and small

Quite as Much Game of Chance as
Politics or Poker.
You let down a heavy lump of lead
and two big hooks baited with CLAIMS
into thirty, forty or sixty feet Of wa
ter Then you wait until something
nudges the line or until Won suspect
that the hooks are bare.
Then you give the line quick jerk
and pull in hand over hand, with more
or less resistance, and see what yeu
have drawn into the grab bag.
It may be a silly but nutritious cod,
gaping In surprise at this curious ter
mination Of his involuntary rise in the
world, or a silvery paddock, staring at
you with round, reproachful eyes, or
q pollock, handsome, but worthless, or
a shiny, writhing dogish, whose VII
lainy is written on every line Of his
degenerate, chinless face. .5s
1t may be that spiny gargoyle of the
sea, q sculpin, or a soft and stupid hake
from the mud flats. 1t may be any
one Of the grotesque products Of Nep-
tunes vegetable garden. sea cucum-
Der, sea carrot or sea cabbage, or
it may be nothing at all.
When you have made your grab and
deposited the result, if it be edible, in
the barrel which stands in the middle
of the boat, Won try another grab, and
that's the whole story. sslts
1t Is astonishing how much amuse-
ment apparently sane men get out of
such simple game as this. The In
terest lies, first, in the united effort To
{ fill the barrel, and, second, I'm the RI
yalry among the fishermen as to which

LAWS AGAINST TOBACCO.
Early Legislation to Restrict the Use
3S5s Of the Weed. 85sifs ESS 8& NJ

Early LEGISLATION to Restrict the Use
Of the Weed. ss
One of the curiosities of early colo
NAL legislation is the laws enacted
against the planting and the use OF to-
bacco. Evidently the ma istrates and
elders Of those days regarded that
creature called tobacko. as one OF
the many emissaries of the devil,
against whom 1T was their duty to
wage constant warfare. The planting
of 1t. was forbidden except in small
quantities to be used ssfor meere neces-
site. for phisiek, for perservaceon Of
the health, and that the same may be
taken privately by ancient men,
All keepers of hotels and other pub
lie places were ordered not to suffer
any tobacco to be taken into their
houses !" If they disobeved the order.
they were required to pay a fine to the
ller'' and one also to party that
takes it. AT little later the law was
changed SO that it was forbidden to
take tobacco in any wine or common
victual house except in a private room
there, so as the master of said house
nor any guest there shall take ofense
thereat. which, lie they do, the said per
son shall forbear upon pain of 2 shil-
lings sixpence Tor every such onense.''
No one was permitted to use tobacco
spublicqueiy !" not even In his own
house, in the presence of strangers. 1t
was against the law for two men to
smoke together. In Windsor every user
Of tobacco was required to procure a
physicians certificate before he was
permitted to enjoy the obnoxious weed.
All smoking was forbidden within two
miles Of a meeting house on the Sab
bath day. Connec ticut, as great in
| diligence to travellers, allowed man
to smoke onea during a journey Of ten
miles made not by trains, but afoot Or
by horse locomot ion. New York Press.

Emergency Currency.

Just as past financial crises called
for and found some old, some new,
and some perhaps curious methods
of carrying country over trying
period, SO has the present trouble
seen a new development of the use of,
clearing house certificates, so called.
The usual forms of certificates EN-
ployed We're as outlined above, de-
signed to circulate between the banks
merely, and it was never intended
by the original users that clearing
house certificates should be employed
in the every day operation Of the
public. This time, however, form OF
emergency currency, credit checks,
or, as they are called in many cities,
clearing house certificates, have
been Issued under the authority Of
the clearing houses of various cities
These have been for sums as small
as 81, 2, SIS, and $40, and not in the
usual denominations of as many thou
sands These small checks have
been paid out for wages, accepted for
food supplies and goods, and viii pre-
snnnably be returned and cancelled
when the craze for boarding money
in boxes. cupboards and stockings
passes away. Where a high rate of in
terest for their enapIo ynnent is charg-
ed they undoubtedly wiz be called in.
just as early as possible, except as
numismatists and phiiateists choose
to preserve samples as illustrations OF
the yariousg kinds Of currency issued
in our national history. Here it may
be claimed that this form of currency
is extra legal In character, and there
certainly have. been some objections
to accepting them, but they are not
open to the imputatfon of being un-
safe, as was the currency of an earlier
time, which was often entirely I'M
secured These certificates have be-
hind them the pleged faith Of the
clearing houses issuing them and they
will be redeemed when presented.
Still they are another and striking
example of the burden Of country's
trade Of, to put It mildly an unscien-
tific currency system which has
strewn the economic and financial
history Fof the country with the wrecks
of thousands of what would otherwise
have been prosperous business en-

Who Punctured the Bubble?

A few weeks ago there was a per-
sistent attempt on the part of certain
interests to FIX upon President Roose-
welt all the responsibility for bringing
about a state of financial embarrass-
ment and a turn in the tide Of nation
al prosperity. It will not be the YER
dict OF history that President Roose-
welt precipitated a panic. It is in
the nature of bubbles to End their
allnring existence after a brief inter
val Of time. It matters little who or
what may have punctured the bubble.
Certainly Mr.. Roosevelt was not re-
sponsible for the throwing of the
street railroad system OF New York
City into the hands of receivers Nor
did he create that shortage of capital
which finally made 1t imp ssible for
the railroads TO finance their improve
ments and which was the chief fac
to in causing, the COLLAPSE Of the cop
