CARLYLE AND THE ARTISTS.
His lmpatisnes With Whistler and He
 Grovyi at Watts.

tiis impatisnes With Whistler and He
 Growi at Watts.
 In the article on Whistler in Sketch es of Great Painters," by Edwin Watts Chubb, there is a characteristic Carlyle anecdote. Carlyle had seen the famous painting by Whistler of his mother, and this led to Cariyle's willingness to sit for the great artist. He came one morning." writes Mir. Chubb, "sat down, waited a few moments while Whistler made the final arrangements of canvas, brushes and palette and said: ''7 7'.
 "'And now, mon, fire away!
 When Carlyle noticed that Whistler ignored his injunction and did not think that that was the way to paint a portrait he added testify:
 elf you're fighting battles or paint ing pictures the only thing to do is to fire away
 "On another day Carlyle talked about other artists who had painted his DOT trait:
 ""There was Mir. Watts, a man of note, and went to his studio, and there was much meestification, and screens were drawn around the easel, and curtains were drawn, and was not allowed to see anything. And then. at last, the screens were put aside, and there l was. And I looked. And Mir. Watts. great mon. he said to me, How do you like it?' And then l turned to Mr. Watts. and said. Mon, l would have you know l am in the habit of wearin' clean linen.

STAMPEDERS BACK FROM
 STRIKE ON RUDE CREEK

Dawson: A number of the stam- peders who went to Rude creek, in the Whitehorse district, have return ed to Dawson and express the belief that the new camp has merit.
 They report several miles of Rude staked, and some of Deep creek and Galena creek also staked. Rude creek flows into Deep creek. Galena is two hours mush over the divide beyond Rude.
 Stampeders are leaving on the boat today, and some are reported coming down from Hootalinqua and other points. The launch Nita left here to- day with a party.
 One party which got back last night include o. F. Kastner, John Ross, Dan Moriarity and MT. Bur rell. Three others, Dave Ray, Pete Anderson and partner, who made the trip over at the same time took the boat at Isaacs creek for the outside and will return during the winter to prospect their claims. MT. Kastner says:
 ''The creeks are shallow and are best adapted to summer work. The wood is scara on Rude, but can be had on Desb End nearby creeks.
 "The discoverers had gotten fifty ounces of gold, not coarse, after working thirty days. and doing 150 hours actual shweyi,ng. They have $500 feet in discovery, 1 below and 1 above. They worked the upper end of discovery and have hole on No. IM above; and another hole on the lower line of discovery, and pay in all. They got five to fifteen cents to the pan in the first four inches of gravel on bedrock, and one cent or better above that. The creek has two feet of gravel in the creek bot tom, and six to eight feet of gravel on the sides. There is little muck. The valley is about 150 yards wide.
 "The discoverers cleaned up less than 500 square feet of bedrock, which makes it less than $50 to the !! square foot.
 Rude creek is about six miles long. It was staked when we were there to 6 above and Is below. We banned and got good prospects. ."- Dawson News.

CAPTAIN STEAMER
 SUFFERS BURNS
Launch Mary Lee Threatened with Destruction When Gasoline
 Catches Fire from Lantern.

George Strixner, captain of the Granby Mining company's launch, Mary Lee, suffered severe burns about the face yesterday afternoon when a quantity of gasoline caught fire and for a short time threatened to de- stroy the launch.
 MT. Strixner had experienced some difficulty with the engine and was making repairs, when a jar containing gasoline was upset, falling upon his lantern and setting the liquid on fire. He was alone on the boat at the time but by using fire extinguishers was able to keep the flames under con- trol until the gasoline had burned when water was used to extinguish the flames which had caught in the woodwork.
 During the excitement the Mary Lee was cut loose by other launch owners and pushed away from the wharf, fearing that she might set the other launches op fire and threaten the wharf.
 MT. Strixner was treated at the hos pital and is able to attend to his du- ties today, but is suffering from a very sore face as his nose, chin and
 heeks were badly blistered, but is tharrful that it is no worse as for a time he feared that his sight might be impaired.

PROPER COOKING.
It Destroys Bacteria and Makes the
 Food More DieestibIe.

Food More Di9esttpIe.
 Cooking Is one of the principal forces in civilization. and it has played tre- mendous part in bringing mankind to the high place it now holds.
 The principal reason for cooking our food Is to destroy disease germs. For many ages no one knew what caused illness, but now nearly all maladies are traceable to these tiny germs, many Of which are found in food and can be destroyed only by the heat of cooking.
 Man. owing to the very complicated machinery of his body, falls prey to disease more easily than the animals. Consequently food which an animal can take without harm may kill man. Cooking destroys large proportion of the parasites. microbes and bacteria In food. thus giving man a chance to di gest a diet that otherwise would Kill him.
 In order to achieve the best results in the destruction of bacteria and in the increasing of digestibility meat and other foods should be subjected first to intense neat SO us to Ioiu d letoAihS skin. as is done in roasting or broiling. Then the heat should be reduced and kept on for long term, during which the juices gradually soften the muscu lar fibers.
 This heat acts as deathblow to the millions of bacteria which would other wise have found place in the stomach of the man or the woman who was to eat it-New York American.

ARMENIA AS A NATION
 A THING OF THE PAST

The deliberate murder of nation is taking place in this twentieth cen tury. Turkey is now in the act of murdering Armenia, and she has al most completed her work.
 There are no ablebodied male Ar menians left anywhere in Turkey They have either been brought to an end in the ranks of the Turkish army into which they are dragged, or have perished in prisons and at the gal lows-the best of them in the latter manner. The remained of the Ar menian nation, composed of women, children and old men have been driv- en out of their homes; towns and cit ies have been completely depopulat- ed of their Armenian inhabitants, in most instances amounting to thou sands in number. They are driven out on two months journey on foot with no more definite destination thar Arabia. Two-thirds of them perish on the way, either from exposure, oI at the hands of plundering and rap- ing Mohammedans. These reports are from missionaries, Consuls and Red Cross nurses of other nations.
 This state of affairs is the natura course of the Turkish government openly expressed policy. What is tc be done? Is humanity so situated as to see deliberate murder committed And that on such scale?
 Ambassador Morgenthau is report ed as having done his utmost to stave off such happenings, but with out avail, and if America cannot ex- tend helping hand, no one else can at present.
 Armenia as a nation is dead. Its land is devastated; only the individ- ual lives of it's remaining women and children can be saved. And the only means of rescue is their transporta- tion to this or some other country New York Times.
