A too convivially inclined young
clubman was introduced at reception

whom he understood in some hazy
fashion to be a great artist. She was
not an artist, nor had she ever made
any attempt to be. But the young
man, whose wits were apt to go wool
gathering at times. thought she was,
And he was very anxious to make a
sufficiently pretty speech to her.
He murmured the usual conventions
alities when he was presented, and
"You paint, don't you? So many peo-
pie have told me about itP he then
said ingratiatingly.
The young woman stared at him.

A SONG OF The SPup.

n SING about the soaring spud
That wings its way toward beaver;
u 'Tis proud cen though II springs from
mud
dollar buys most seven;
Then smite the drum and twang the Tyre
For the spud that keeps on climbing
higher.
The farmer raises fancy things.
A Burbanked line Of fruit;
He's scientific, now. by iingsl
And gives plain crops the boot;
And so We see potatoes soar
And pause awhile. then soar some more
oh, speed the day when from the ground
The plain old stun will spring.
When less and less praise Will resound
For some new seedless thing;
Then for more spuds. Joy to relate.
No man will fear to pass his plate.

MODERN COMMUNICATION.
Wireless TeIesraphy and the Aero
plane Are Making Wonderful
Progress.

Marked progress has recently been
made in experiments with wireless
telegraph apparatus operated from an
aeroplane. Small light weight instru-
ments are used and many technical
difficulties cleverly overcome: tests
have been carried out by military au-
thorities in all countries.
Perhaps the most important func-
ton that can be performed by the
aeropiane and its chief claim to prac-
teal utility will be to furnish a sta
ton from which to send wireless mes
sages. On account of its ability to
almost Immediately rise to great al
titude, and scout far and wide over
the country and communicate the in
formation obtained, it will be most
valuable for determining the direction
to be followed by a moving column of
soldiers. The French army is pro-
Vlded with automobiles equipped with
full teiescoping poles made of metal
for supporting the wireless antennae.
while the wires of the aeroplane itself
are now used for the antennae on
board the flying machine With the
addition OF wireless telegraph equip
ment the modern passenger aeroplane
IS quite complete. Like the present
day ships at sea, it can always be in
close touch with assistance and able
TO transmit important news and re-
ceive instructions from distant points.

Tributes to Late
Senator W. P. Fry.

Many expressions of genuine regret
and sorrow were heard about the city
Wednesday on the death of Senator
William p Frye and il is generally
stated that the entire state has lost
a firm friend Hon o. b. Clason OF
this city in speaking of the death of
Mr.. Frye said
The death of Senator Frye was not
unexpected He had been in failing
health for several weeks. His long
public service of more than 40 years
in both branches of Congress gave him
an acquaintance and an influence
never surpassed and rarely equalled
by any man in public life. My acquain-
lance with Senator Frye began in
1875. when he was a member of the
National House His many personal
favors and kindnesses To me are among
my most pleasant recollections. Mr..
Frye in his younger days was one of
the most eloquent and most popular
stump speakers in the nation His
power of interesting and awakening
enthusiasm in his hearers was remark
able He was always looking out for
the interest Of his native State, and it
will take MANY years TO train up a
Statesman " M ltlS pace.
Hon. George w. Heselton of this
city. speaking of the death of Mr.. Frye
said:
+ THE death of Senator Frye will be
keenly felt by the citizens of this state
because it removes from our midst. not
only a recognized statesman of nation
al influence but one who has had in
his high station the abiding confidence
of all, irrespective of party utilization.
in his official integrity and his person
al loyalty 10 Maine and Maine people.
AS in the nation, so in the State
councils of his party, his wisdom and
influence have commanded the conf
dence of his associates and followers.
His death will be a distinct loss to the
Republican party in this State.
l am not Democrat and hence can
not prophecy who will be named by
Gov Plaisted as the successor of SEN
ator Frye but from my own standpoint
I think he would not make any mis-
take If he selected Congressman Nc
Gillicuddy."

GOLD ON DUKES LAND.
Secret of Experiment Well Kept
Color" Anywhere

The secret of the first results of the
gold washing which is being actively
carried on in the Duke of SutherIand's
experimental camp on Suisgill Burn has
| been well kept, but William Heath, the
hiondike mining engineer who is in
charge of the operations, intends shortly.
| TO open the sluice boxes which hold the
gold already collected
He proposes to do this within a few
days, and when this is done il will be
be possible TO form an estimate of the
value OF the kildonan gold fields, which.
in the opinion of some experts. will
eventually Justify the almost forgotten
title of THE City of Gold" which still
marks the site of the old diggings Of 40
years ago.
Whether this will be so remains to be
proved. for Mr.. Heath has not yet pros
pected all the likely places along the
stream, and his sluicing operations have
SO far been confined to spot near the
camp
The gold dust is hidden at the bottom
of the rocks in the long narrow sluice
boxes which run from the tops of the
dams built by the campers, and no one
can tell how the experiment is succeed
ing until Mr. Heath has made his exact
examination.
II is not considered etiquette in min
ing camp TO ask for the results OF
'wash-up." for more than usually for
tunate ind, if noised abroad might lead
to claim jumping or a sudden unde-
sired rush of diggers from other districts
to stake out lots near. So Mr., Heath OF
Dawson City, Klondike. only smiles po-
litely when strangers wander into tina
camp and look inquiringly at the siuics
boxes which hold his secret
1t is beyond doubt that traces of gold
color" as miners call it-may be found
in Suisgill and Kildonan Burns almost
anywhere that a washing is made, kan
