toric by rich discoveries and stirring
times of early days, and the old glories
Of which have formed many interesting
pages in the history Of Nevada and

J. G. Mccormack, the well-known
Goldfeld mining operator, to accom-

Lundy, California, and visit various
other camps and places of interest on
the way.

whispered woman to the small boy sitting beside her on the first cross seat and the child reluctantly rose to make place for the old lady who had eX- pressed a desire for a photograph. Two seats down the aisle another man rose and offered standing woman a seat and within the next few minutes all the won- en who had been standing were seated and half of the men who had been sitting were standing. They were also glaring at the man with the stiff leg seated in the corner. He looked more comfort able. All signs of suffering had left his face and he even seemed amused at the scene. The car ran three squares without stop and then an old woman with big bundle entered the front door The man with the stiff leg drew it up as nimbly as he did the other, sprang to his feet without any lameness what ever and offered his seat to the bundle carrier.
 Well, whaddyer think of that" ex- claimed the ex-student of the newspaper who had given his seat to the pretty girl No more lame than l ann
 ''That's a fine game" declared another man farther down the aisle. If ob- taining money under false pretenses is against the law obtaining seat ought to be just as much so'

ONE WAY TO GET A SEAT
 IN A CROWDED GAR

From the St Louis Post-Dispatch.
 It mattered not at all that the two sporty looking youths who were with him were laughing noisily when the car stopped to let him on nor did 1t matter that he looked strong and big and well-nurtured with a countenance that bore unmistably the tell-tale evil dences of the easy liver and jovial blade. Misery may, indeed love com pany, yet physical suffering in these days of knifeless shiropody and pain less dentistry makes a universal ap- peal and when the effort made by the newcomer to lift his stiff legt to the level of the car floor shot twinges of pain across his drawn face there was more or less hubub among the home- hurriers. An elderly lady clingingi to the foremost strap made way for him, glancing with significant severity at man seated in fornt of her, who was deeply absorbed in his evening pa- per's story of prize fight. When the motorman's preliminary jerk to start the car caused the lame man to gasp and lean heavily on his furled um- brella another woman--this time mid dle -aged-rose from her seat next to the absorbed student of the fight, brushing his newspaper aside as she did so
 Here young man; sec you're lame; take my seat" she said
 "Oh, madam. I really couldn't think of it," said he of the stiff leg.
 "Sit down here" said gloriously beautiful young woman as she jumped up from her seat across the aisle.
 ''I hardly like" began the cripple ss he ina nadvertently rested the point of

his umbrella on the toe of the man who was reading.
 "Oh, please!" said the girl. Where upon he sat down.
 Now, wouldn't you like a photo graph of thati exclaimed the outraged strap-hanging old lady. and she moved In such a way as to cut off the light from the page describing the contro- versy Of Messrs. Riddle and O'Brien.
 Thereupon the reader, looking up and realizing a good part of what had hap pened though he had seen none of it, rose from his seat and offered it to the beautiful girl and she took it.
 As the lame man carefully adjusted his evidently painful leg, giving it a partial support with his umbrella, look of relief, with some appreciation of the humor of the situation came over his features and the incident was apparently closed.
 But the force of good example began to manifest itself.

Cook and the Danes.

It was suggested some time ago that
Dr.. Cook sought the shores Of Den
mark as the best point from which to
launch his amazing story chiefly be-
cause certain people of that country
harbored luminosity with respect to
the intrepid Peary. In that case the
doctor certainly calculated well, for
the Danish press and people and many
Danes Of great influence became the
champion before the world of the .sun-
der dog in the controversy as to the
first visit to the actual pole
But scientists cannot afford to be
and true scientists never will be sway
ed by personal feeling. Furthermore,
science is given to bluntness Of speech.
It's utterances abound in yeas and
nays. The scientific authorities of
Denmark would have suspended judg-
ment for years in order to give Cook a
chance to produce the promised ade-
quate proofs. But, smarting under re-
peated challenge, the bold explorer
submitted his hastily prepared case
only to learn the old, old truism that
science is 4 hard proposition to go up
against.

Girls In a Foreign Atmosphere

Girls In a Foreign Atmosphere.
A German American author, Frau
Won Ende, whose book was published
in Berlin the other day, undertakes to
explain why so many American girls
are captivated by the nobility of the
continent. She says that very many of
these girls never get an American edu-
cation. They are often taught by Ger
man or French governesses and reared
in surroundings which are intended to
initiate those of cultivated Europeans.
Even cheap limitations of foreign fur
niture and paintings may affect girls

American girls are expatriated ''be-
fore they make their first trip to Eu-
rope" says this author, and the men
they meet in American society have
nothing in common with their vitiated
tastes. What everyday life fails to do
in creating foreign atmosphere for
the idle mind is supplied in the for
eign novel with it's heroic nobleman.

even dog, 50 supplies had to be
''packed'' in. A man who has never
carried sixty to hundred pounds on
his back over rough, unbroken coun-
try can only imagine that. Ground
had to be broken and cleared. Then it
had to be prepared for sowing, and
the old methods of Sweden and the
United States even were useless. Mar
tin began with potatoes and failed.
His results were watery caricatures
of the potato Of commerce. He had
got his seeds from Seattle, and he
tried again and failed again. Then he
began to farm with his head He pro-
ceeded to educate his potatoes and
teach them to grow respectfully This
could only be done by growing and re-
seeding. Soon he had real potatoes
and began to sell them.
Cultivation was a problem, for with
out tools it was difficult. Martin solv-
ed this problem. however. in his own
patient way. He built himself hand
machine and pushed it himself with
prodigous labor. Later, when he had
secured dog team, he broke them to
haul the cultivator It was severe
task, for he was alone There was no
hired man-just Ole himself and the
dogs. =.
Decided on Garden Truck.
Finding himself so close to a grow
Ing community, Martin saw that in
garden produce there would be mar
ket, and he set to put some seven
acres under cultivation. In nearly all
his work he had trouble with his seeds.
Those from the States would not grow
we'll in a soil where there were 40
inches Of rainfall in a year, and so he
had to educate his turnips, his cauli-
flower, carrots, cabbages and the rest
to grow in damp soil.
The government maintains expert
ment stations. but these were and are
too few; also they are only experiment
stations. and the real work must be
done by the real farmer. Martin went
through it all, and he built his log
house, barn and outbuildings. He cuts
his hay-tons of it-by hand and ricks
it alone, He finds time for flowers,
and these are his amusements. He
built an incubator and is raising chick.
ems and is housing them in log
house equipped with a stove. Every
bit of work on the place every last
tap-has been done by this farmer sin
gle handed He has combined the
work Of the experiment stations and
the farm, and to him is due the sue
cess Of farming on the Kenai Now
the railroad has come to him. and he
