 Fly with us now to far Alaska. Behold Fairbanks creek, so called because of it's ice-clad banks and chilly waters. For years the dream of hunters in that part of Alaska has been to slay the famous Anaconda bull moose, which could out run any Nimrod and dodge any bullet. Oscar e. Nelson set out to kill the moose and he succeeded, but this was not all his luck-but we must not anticipate.
 Nelson and-two prospectors on the banks of the creek came upon tracks which showed plainly that the Anaconda bull was not far away. The scouts soon jumped the big fellow and away he went, believing. Nelson was in front and the moose came straight for him. When the animal was 150 yards away bang! bang! went Nelson's gun, and the moose went down, it's hoofs tearing up a great bit of turf.
 When Nelson and his companion ran up 1t wasn't the carcass they looked at, but the rock from which the thick moss had been torn. It bore gold in large quantities.
 The moose weighed 1.2Oo pounds and it's antlers spread over seven feet, not that that matters.

and her field of operations is naturally far wider She can arrange her ways so a salways to collect high toll for every thing and never have to pay any, for the stngy woman is often n a position sufficiently high in social circles to make knowing her well worth while, not to the climber only, but to all those m the same set and from all that come in her path she expects some favor that saves her both money and time as well as much trouble.
 Her methods of repayment. if she has any at all, are well worth watching Even her partial acknowledgemen will have such stout string tied to It that the recipient of her invitation (the ex- clusveness of her entertainments is her strongest card) will accept with the full and somewhat weighty knowledge that before her hostess permits her to depart she will be requested to engineer an af- fair requiring much diplomacy, or one l that will mean money saved, even if 1t be only the price of postage stamp, for information conveyed by word or mouth instead of by mail.
 Never for one instant does the stingy woman lose sight of the usefulness of others. and at all times does she scheme to get the most out of them, banking her own energies until something comes along that she alone can dos Take her | ways visits the best people,. and see in how many ways she evades that un- written law of tips, and how she man i ages to do without a maid, and has the i services of every other woman s. Watch also how she maneuyers to travel in lux ury at some one else'J expense invari- ably, for there is ever some foolish per son who is not only willing, but anxious to treat" the one that will accept such favors especially if that ones social po- sition is assured and theirs Is not fully hedged.
 The acquaintances of a stingy woman if she is sufficiently rich, do not very often discuss her openly as being ''stn- gy" Instead, she will be spoken of as 'eccentric," although the first epithet is distinctly understood as being the proper term. But go to her nearest and dearest heirs-at-law, and there will you find the term "stngy" freely used and thoroughly defined and qualified by va- rious adjectives.
 Gives Cheap Presents.
 Such presents as she gives and has given all her life are of the cheapest description or else are selected from those she receives as things she does not want. and often stories are heard, whis- pered, tis true, of how costly presents sent her have been personally returned to the shop whence they came, ex- changed for a less expensive article, and the balance of the cost placed to her credit for a future order. From such transcripts come such wedding presents as she sends.
 In the middle aged the mania for saw ing can often be put down as prudence, governed by the desire to have a goodly inheritance to the children that are growing, but when seen in the young it is without any form of excuse. The young girl or man that will not give pleasure to others when he or she can perfectly well afford it is a poor spec- men, indeed. and the child that exhibits such trait cannot be too soon broken of It.

 Can you imagine anything pleasanter than the feeling of discovering money, either in large or small sums, in unex- pected places?
 Not your own money, although that would be pleasant enough, but money which misers, or people you don't know and could not discover, had hidden and then died or gone away, no one knows where.
 Hoards, large and small, are being dis covered nearly every week in the oldest crannies and in the most surprising man. ner Here is record kept for one month. It isn't complete by any means, but it is compiled by man who had nothing bet ter to do.s

He could see the crowds and the players. On an- other part of the wall were the figures ''424."
 MT. Hyser is something of Conan Doyle, and after setting his Sherlock Holmes at work he concluded that the dream had something to do with Room 424 in his hotel. So he called a negro DOT ter and told him to find $45 under the car
