as if it had just come from the water
and Nellie's fur was wet, and already
freezing in little icicles abou ther body.
So she had got the fish out of the water.
I thought, of course, that was all
there was to it but 1 had grasped at
the chance had to offer in the morn
ing for not carrying out the agree
ment-she had brought the fish, which
we could give to the dogs. 1 had laid
the fish down on the log, and began
to break off the icicles from her coat,
! when she started away, and, when she
was out of freight, began to whine.
So | followed her into the night, tax
ing with me our one candle and some
matches.
Finally we reached a spot which
she seemed to be looking for. She
stopped, and heard plunge into
the water. l lighted the candle, and
feet with another fish in her mouth.
So there were more where the first
one came from. I went closer, and
could see distinctly hole apparently
cut out of the solid ice. 1t was not
more than ten feet across in any di
rection; it was shallow, and its clear,
cold waters were literally filled to
overAowing with fish. They seemed
to be all of size, white fish weighing
not less than three or four pounds
each. l could see many of them.
I almost ran back to the camp,
calling the boys as I stumbled along.
Soon we were all back at the hole. 1t
was one of the so-called lungs" of
the lake-air- holes in the ice that
open up in every body of Alaskan
water, small or large, whenever the
temperature goes thirty or more de-
grees below zero.
In the next two days we had taken
out of that hole two hundred and
nineteen fish. Dogs and men feasted
to the full, the dogs taking theirs
raw, we men taking turns cooking
and eating. We took along plenty
of fish when we finally moved on, and
got into the hospital camp of the
Northwest mounted police all right,
and with our little patient in good
shape.
Nellie has been stolen many times
since that night by newcomers in the
Alaska country who had heard about
her, and one time the thieves got
nearly two hundred miles down the
river before they met anybody but
that was as far as they got. A COM
mittee was formed in half an hour,
half dozen dog teams were "hooked
up" and within an hour the thieves
under escort were on their way back
up the river.

TAKE YOUR CHOICE.

Who shall say which is the proper
way for a woman to ride horse,
cross-saddle or side-saddlel There
are advocates of both methods, but
the Eastern eye wrinkles with humor
at some of the incongrnities of the
Western methods. A young man of
Boston took up life in Colorado
town next door to dear old lady of
seventy. She was of the patient, do
nestle type, with smoothed, parted
hair, knitting or darning always in
her hands as she peacefully rocked
the hours away on her front porch.
The young Bostonian watched her
thus and made sentimental conjec-
lures about the sad inertia of her de-
clining days and the helplessness of
old age. But when the morning
work was done, knitting laid aside
and dinner eaten, this gay girl put
on divided skirt and sombrero, called
a pony, lightly threw leg over the
Mexican saddle and loped off to see
her friends

SHE TOOK HIM as he wuz.

A Linn county minister not long
ago was asked to perform a marriage
ceremony by negro couple. AS he
had employed the groom for year
or two he consented, knowing what
prestage would come to the couple by
reason of having been married by a
white minister. At the proper time
the happy couple arrived and the
ceremony proceeded. do you take
this man for better or worse ?" the
minister asked. For all her shyness,
the bride spoke up bravely. mo sab,

AN OLD "AD."

Nothing succeeds like persever-
ance," said Mark Twain at dinner.
"When the luck seems most against
us, then we should work and hope
hardest Of all. In moments of dis
couragement let US remember my old
friend, Henry Plumley, of Virginia
City.
"Henry Plumley -an a collar fac
tory. Times were reputed to be hard
with him. When his factory, which
was very heavily insured, burned
down there was every indication that
he had set the place on fire himself
in order to get the insurance money.
Virginia City was the soul of homer
in those days. Shocked beyond
words, it rose enmasse, seized Henry
Plumley, put halter round his neck
and lynched him.
''But he did not die. The sheriff
arrived and cut him down in time.
He was tried and found guilty and
served a term in Jail.
con his release you wouldn't have
thought that he'd return to Virginia
City again, Ell? He did, though.
He came back, reopened his collar
factory and prospered.
"What gave him his start was the
odd advertisement with which he an
nounced his return to business among
us. Preceded by brass band, Henry,
in a great gilt chariot, burst upon our
streets. He sat on kind of golden
throne, and he held on a crimson
cushion in his lap an old, old collar.
Above the collar, on a crimson ban.

q LITTLE GIRL I KNEW.

There was once little girl knew.
With dark hair braided down her back;
She lived next door, as some girls do,
And couldn't help seeing she had knack
For washing the steps and tending the flowers
(For the house was little away from ours.)
I couldn't help hearing the pleasant sound
That dishes make when they touch the pan
Iswasn't the kind to hang around.
But / saw and heard as fellow can.
(And she was a girl about as spry
As trout that leaps to snap the fiy).
And when the windows were opened wide,
She made the beds and swept the floor,
busted the things on every side,
And then through the open kitchen door
/ saw her stir the pudding and cake,
And make the coffee and broil the steak.
You know surely could hear and see
(Tbeir house of course not far awaY,)
And wasn't as dumb as some might be,
But managed once some words to say.
And 30, concluding q fresh combine,
She moved from their house into mine.
