LeapInq Troason.

King William III. of England was passionately fond of the chase and made 1t a point never to be outdone in my leap, however perIlous. A Mir. Cherry, who was devoted to the e1led family, took advantage ot this to plan the most pardonable design which was ever formed against a kings life. Be regularly joined the roysl hounds, put himself foremost and took the most desperate leaps in the hope that Wil- liam might break his neck in following him One day, however, he accom- plished one so imminently dangerous that the king when he came Co the spot shook bis head and drew back. It is said that Mir. Cherry at length broke bis own neck and thereby re- lieved the king from further hazard.

4 PROFITABLE
 INVESTMENT

The most appropriate and at the same time the most attractive sou. ,euir one may take from AIas6a, is that which was instrumental in focus sing the attention of the entire world on our great country.
 Ever since the magic year of 1897 sold has poured from the creeks and beaches of Alaska and been convert ed into money reckoued into millions. Hence the sight of gold either mint ed or mounted at once directs ones mind to lhe land of the midnight sun
 What more appropriate then, than piece of nugget jewellery, either as a frame for the beautiful mastodon ivory, stained by the countless years 1t mas endured, or nuggets joined in chain work by a skilled artisan. A brooch or solitary nugget of curious natural shape is souvenir which tells the story of the mad rush to the Klondi6e.
 The fact that a purchase of nugget Jewellery is in reality an investment in an article that cannot depreciate seems to be dawniug upon the wis iJors to the Northland and the sales are rapidly increasing in this line of goods.
 II. D. Kirmse has made a study of the art of nugget jewellery mounting, and has the finest display Of the
 yellow metal' ever gathered to- gether in one salesroom.
