at San Bernardino, Cal. one day late
ly, whereby couple about to be di-
vorced were happily brought together
again. Mrs. Walter Preston was on
her way to the court to secure a di-

were soon made, and the two made
their way to the attorneys office,

money and asked some questions
about It, discovering that no one ever
took nickels or dimes and that moth
ing could be bought in the Klondike
for less than rs cents.
Take the ordinary sack of tobacco
for instance. which we get here for a

Ordinary shovelers get four dollars or
five dollars a day now and other labor

Der OF fine specimens in Idaho, Mon

Tor $3.50 apiece. Now you will pay
from $3.50 to $40, and they are hard
to get for even that The Apache,
Sioux, Comanche and Chippewa Indi-
ans used to have dozens of them in
their possession and traded them for
trinkets. But the redskin got wise to
their value, and you can buy them
from regular dealer cheaper now
than from the Indian. The passing
of the elk and the great demand made
by the members of the Elk lodge for
teeth for emblems have boosted the
price"
The traveller recited an incident of
an Oklahoman who bought robe GOV.
