CAKE DIMINISHES IN POST.
Woman Charges Mail Carrier Ate Part
of Parcel.

of Parcel.
With half of what had once been a
fine sponge cake In her hands, an in
dignant suffragette, weighing slightly
more than 200 pounds, called at the
Flushing On. " postofiice recently and
demanded from Postmaster Lowerre
the name of the letter carrier who
had eaten half of the cake which had
been sent her through the parcel post
by friend.
1t was in vain that Postmaster Low
ere pleaded that the cake was the vic
tim Of its environment; that 1t prob
ably had for its bosom companion in
the mail pouch sections of a family
cooking stove or a scuttle of coal sent
on from the anthracite regions.
His words fell on deaf ears. Half
of the cake was missing and the wo-
man wanted Uncle Sam to investigate
She said the way to her house was long
and cold, and she knew that the car
rier got hungry on the route and fed
on the cake. Making a note of the
complaint, Postmaster Lowerre dis
missed the woman, who went her way
declaring things would be different
when women got their rights.

EARLY EASTER BAD ON TRADE
Shopkeepers Forced to Get Busy
Much Earlier i'm Year.

Not since 1856 has Easter come so
early in the year. 1t is the occasion
of much activity among milliners and
florists. Usually Easter comes in
April, but this year it falls on March
23.
To the average woman it is of lit
tie consequence when the festival
arrives, whether it is earlier or later
in the year, but there is CONNER
cial element which is vitally affected
by the earliness or lateness of the
date of Easter.
Flowers must be forced into
bloom so that the markets can be
supplied at the proper time.
Usually with a late Easter the
flower markets are easily supplied
and nature alone is responsible, but
when the date comes early in the
year, then the ingenuity of man is
necessary, that plants may be made
to bloom before their natural time.
Lilies, azaleas, hyacinths, tulips and
other favored flowers are greatly in
demand for Easter.
1t is the one church festival of the
year which calls for floral decora-
tions. The churches are burdened
with floral fragrance. The affairs
are decked in white and flowers in
profusion can be found in all Catho-
lie and Protestant churches.
1t is not only the florist who be-
comes anxious over an early Easter.
The shopkeeper who supplies the
Easter gown and the Easter bonnet
looks to Paris for his spring importa-
tions with more or less uncertainty.
The stores must display their spring
wares before the time is quite suit
able. Easter may fall this year up
on snow covered country and the
climatic conditions may not be eX-
actly compatible.
Lent began Wednesday, February
5. One has to go back 101 years be-
fore he reaches an earlier date on
which Ash Wednesday fell. If he
chooses to go back to Feb. 8, in the
year 3S7 A. D., he will find the very
earliest Ash Wednesday ever known.
1t is quite probable that floral dis
plays were not featured on Easter
at that remote age.
What would Fifth avenue and
Broadway do without this royal dis
play of femininity which is display
ed every Easter? The girls and
gowns, the splender of wealth and
the fragrance of flowers are all now
deeply associated with the day.
The most interesting point is that
Lent comes this year within two
days of the worlds record for an
early appearance, and nothing that
has ever matched it has occurred for
fifty-seven years.

1EWS FROM ALL PARTS OF N0RTHIAN0

In an interview with Dawson News the men who brought out 197 ounces of gold dust from the Shishana spoke in part as follows about the creeks in the new country:
 Seven claims are staked on Little EldoradO. eight on Glacier, seven on Gold Run. two on Chicken. three or four on Coarse Money. Other creeks staked include Three Pup. a tribu- tary of Bonanza; Skookum. a branch of Little Eldorado; Discovery Pup. off Gold Run; the Eldorado. and the Chevulda. known there as Wilson. named after the president.
 Streams flowing in to Wilson are Glacier, Gold Run and Eldorado. The others named are tributary to Bon anza.
 ''The creeks mentioned are all abov" timber line. and only willows are In evidence. On Bonanza and Little El- dorado the miners have to haul wood for cooking three to four miles. The timber belt extends up Johnson to the mouth of Bonanza. and touches the lower part of Wilson. Eldorado and Glacier. Johnson and Wilson both flow eastward into the Chisana. known to some as the Shushana. The gold bearing streams. in short. as located. lie between the Chatenda and the Chevula. otherwise known ns Johnson and Wilson. These streams are old glacial moraines. and the gravel In them Is three to four feet deep on the average. and not frozen. and has no muck on its surface. Considerable water flows down the streams. Little Eldorado was carrying three siuice- heads when we left.
 "The gold Is so coarse and rough 1t evidently has travelled little. and seems to have been left there as the result of glaciers cutting through quartz leads on those high exposed James and Nelson made the discovery when over at the mouth of Bonanza looking for quartz. They soon afterward located also on the other streams"
