THE CONQUERED.

We who so eager started on life's race,
And breathless ran, nor stinted any
whit
For aching muscles or the parching grit
OF dust upon the lips; who set the face
Only more desperately towards the place
Where the goals altar smoked, if run
ners knit
With stronger limbs outran us; we
who sit
Beaten at last-for us what gift or
grace?
Though we have been outstripped, yet
known have we
The joy of contest; we have felt hot
life
Throb through our veins, tingling
ecstasy;
Our prize is not the wreath with envy
rife,
But to have been all that our souls
might be;
Our guerden is the passion of that
strife.

of popularity among the more dressy

| Tiny folds of satin or of taffeta are
used to trim semidress costumes and
lend themselves admirably to original
effects. They may be applied in broad

YUKON MINERS FIND MAsToDoN

Huge Animal In Perfect State of

John Froling has just returned to his
home in this city after an absence of
nearly seven years In Alaska and the

found forty feet below the surface. Mr..
Froling says, seven miles up Wood
choppers creek. a small stream that
flows into the Yukon about forty or
fifty miles above Circle City.
Several miners there had stal1ed out
claims and were going through the
frosty earth in an effort to strike pay
dirt. They were operating a steam

culiar smell of flesh emanating from
the excavation.
Upon investigating they found that

the almost red-hot steam was rapidly
decaying after it had lain in the frozen
clasp of its earthly bed for untold
years.
By great effort they got the carcass
out of the earth, the task proving a
most disagreeable one, owing to the
fetid odors arising from it. Much Of
the meat was still in a good state of
preservation and was eaten by the dogs
and wild animals that came about the
camp at night. The bones of the mann
moth were all intact and the last Mr..
Froling heard arrangements were being
made to preserve the skeleton.
In his long travels over the Yukon
country Mr.. Froling found many spots
where the bones of the mastodon were
numerous, everything pointing to a
time when some sudden cataclysm had
brought unexpected death upon all tie
animal life. He says these spots where
the mastodon bones are found so plen-
tiful are invariably sheltered valleys,
where the animals undoubtedly congre-
gated in their extremities to shelter
themselves from the hardships of the
