 1 A few days ago both babies wan dered away from their homes. and their parents were alarmed concern ing their possible fate. While a search was being made for them, they | returned, hand in hand. to the Carl sten residence. but were unable to | explain where they had been. Nick Mongel. who is employed at the Orpheum theatre, however, later threw some light on the disappear ance of the children.
 Mir. Mongelli. when he met Mir ! Carlsten that afternoon, told him | that he went to the Orpheum on Sun day afternoon of last week for some thing. The door had been left un- i locked. and when he came in he | heard somebody humping on the piano in the theatre.
 When he entered the place he was quite astonished to see little Miss l Geis hitting the piano keys as though she Were really playing dance musir while little Miss Carlsten was on the stage dancing. Mir. Mongelli with drew quietly and let the babies play until they grew weary, when they came out, holding hands, and started for home.

This Alas kan. who has already been favored with an invitation to this big social event, is none other than Harry Karstens, who managed the hunting trip last winter, of which the groom was a member.
 In letter received some time ago by MT. Karstens from young Bel mont. the former was not only in- yited to the wedding but was urged to come Mr Karstens, however, has been too modest to tell of the friends, and therefore few people heard of it until some time after it was received. Of course, MT. Kar- stems is not planning to go to New York to the wedding, but it is to be presumed that he appreciates the courtesy shown him by the young millionaire.

 The trip on the way up the river had proved rather uneventful, Miss Henry wrote, and thus when the boat stopped at Ft Yukon they went ashore for a little recreation. In her letter which was written on the boat on July 13, Miss Henry tells as follows of her experience with the bear:
 'I had special experience yester- day at Ft. Yukon. There was the usual mob of dogs and Indians to welcome us, and an addition in the form of a brown bear, which was claimed to be gentle and fond of candy. So. armed with a box of ''Lowney's," l proceeded to make friendly overtures to said bear, and to say that he met me half way would be exposing it mildyly. He came all the way.
 "All went well until the candy gave out, and when he discovered there was no more of the toothsome dainty, he, at the same moment, discovered he had me. He swung one large, rough arm, accompanied by claw filled paw, about my shoul der, and with the other drew my fair but trembling form close. didn't know what the idea was, but in my efforts to disengage myself 1 attached to my arms and neck a score or more souvenirs, mostly scratches.
