SMALL THINGS.

While it takes every one of the
three hundred and sixty degrees to
complete circle; while ninety-nine
cents won't make a dollar; while a
wheel is made up of many spokes;
there are no small things.
While a cent will buy the news of
the world; while a minute will catch
an important train; while a finger
mark will discover criminal: while
a two-cent postage-stamp will take
letter to one five thousand miles
away; there are no little things.
While battle may be lost for a
moments delay; while a man may
starve for morsel of food, or famish
for glass Of water; there are no
small things.
While a smile may brighten a

The fact that God took only one
rib from Adam and made one woman
would seem to show conclusively that
it was intended for man to have but
one wife. If God had wished man to
be a Mormon, he would have taken
away all his ribs and made him wives
out of all of them, and there would
have been. about two dozen Ewes in
stead of one.-By William J. Burt

BIT OF LOCAL HISTORY

settled, commenced to work their way
up the creek and prospect. They soon
found themselves at the mouth of an
other creek. After much panning on
this tributary they found colors. This
creek they named Eureka" They
continued their way up Eureka creek,
banning as they went, till they reached
the mouth of another stream which
they named Boston" and here they
located good prospects. and sank their
first shaft. The party atdifferent times
worked Nos. and 2 below discovery.
Later the party separated to work diff
ferent claims.
Gaetz and his two partners (Hebb
and Spires) branched out for them
selves, and later when pay dirt had
been found on Glen gulch, they bought
from Miss Garrett n divided one-half
interest in. No. 4. The purchase proved
profitable venture.
It was shortly after they had cleaned
up the cream on No. that Spires
dropped out, leaving the firm of Hebb
s. Gaetz, and this partnership con-
tinued during their many years to-
gether, and only terminated in Gaetz
leaving the country for good.
Hebb & Gaetz were the first to mine
on Doric creek, and were the first dis
coverers OF pay on Skookum gulch. On
the last-named creek these boys cleaned
up comfortable homestake.
They were the first to work ground
in the Tanana valley by bedrock drain.
One cannot think of Gaetz without
associating him with hard work. he
was ever at it. Gaetz was a studious
fellow, had pleasing disposition, and
was an entertaining talker. He had
for many years been a sufferer from
heart trouble, which ultimately re-
suited in his death.
Gaetz shortly after leaving the coun-
try settled in Seattle where he went
into business. he married beautiful
girl from his home town, who was a
schoolma'am. He leaves her and one
baby girl to mourn his loss. The widow
took his remains to Muscodubait, Nova
Scotia, the place of his birth.
Mr.. Boothby, of the Rampant dis
trict, who was in Seattle at the time
accompanied the remains and the be-
reaved family to the old home.

Merchant Morrison
Under the Weather

George L. Morrison, the merchant,
has been confined ito his room since
Monday suffering with what il thought
to be an abscess of the ear, and up to
the present has been unable to receive
relief for any length of time.
One day in early winter while hand
ling some cases of goods in his ware
house several boxes toppled on him,
one of which hit him good swift jolt
on the ear, which caused him to wear
his head in bandages for couple of
weeks, but it was thought that he
would be no more troubled from the ac-
cident. 1t is believed that he caught
cold last Sunday by change OF head
gear-a little rushing of the season,
as it we're.

Elliott L. Gaetz, who passed away ut
Seattle on January 2lst, and OF whose
death mention was made in The Post,
was q man who might be given special
notice here as he was one of the first
to play an important part in the devel-
opment of Central Alaska.
Discovery claim, Eureka creek, Ram
part recording district, was staked in
Gaetz's name. The ground was located
in the fall OF 1898; pay was found on
the claim, and it goes down in the his
tory Of Alaska as tho first paystreak to
be mined in the Tanana valley. Men
tion has been made where prospects
have been found at an earlier date than
recorded here, but Gaetz's claim was
the first to be mired on paying basis.
When the rich finds Of the North
land began to reach the shores Of the
Far East, Gaetz, who was ever an en-
ergetic youth, had saved a considerable
sum from his earnings, and together
with party of young men like him
self departed for the Rich Eldorado.
The discovery" party, which was
seven in number, consisted OF the fol-
lowing old timers: Billy WEIGH, VIM.
Ramsey, Angus Hebb, Spires, Russell,
Moore, and our departed friend, Gaetz.
This party left the city of Boston in
the spring of 1893.

their craft the stream to favorable

now known as "Baker."

with an axe, and before embarking on
their quest they all fell to and built a

Great Linquist

Mgr. Rahmani, the Syrian Patriarch of Antioch, who has just had an audience with Piux K, is one of the greatest linguists in the world now. He knows thoroughly at least 10 languages, viz. :: Arabic, Syriac, Turkish, Greek, Latin, Italian, French. German, English and He- brew, and his extraordinary proficiency has been turned to good account in re- searches into ancient Oriental Christian literature.
 Among the discoveries is that of a most interesting document of apocryphal literature, the 'Testamentus Jesu Chris ia" frequently referred to in its Greek text and in various versions by ancient writers, but hitherto unknown to modern scholarship only by some fragments pre- served in Latin codex of the Thirteenth century at Treves. The patriarch has published a critico-literary edition of the codex found by him, which dates from the year 63S
 The patriarch's discovery has had much to do with modifying modern jude- dependence of some of the most impor- tant apocrypha of the Christian literature of the first centuries
 Among the 150 unedited codices in the library he has collected is Syrian version of the "Cronicon" of Eusebius, which has been useful in correcting the Armenian version in several points. For instance. this latter version puts the duration of the Roman pontificate of St. Peter at 20 years, whereas Mgr. Rahmani's codex gives the traditional period of 25 years, thus agreeing with St. Jerome, who took his facts and figures from "Cronicon"
