One dark night three friends were
crossing a deep, dry ravine, the banks
Of which were very precipitous. AS the
party had been imbibing a little too
freely, one Of the three had to be as
sisted up the incline. When, thinking
him safe at the top, his friends turned
him loose he fell to the bottom. He
lay very still, and the other two, sup
posing him severely injured, rushed
down to him. AS they leaned over to
discover his condition the fallen one
exclaimed:

HUMOR IN TRAGEDY.

II had," he said, constantly relieved
the opportunities of one who claimed
to be literary man on the grounds, l
subsequently discovered, that he ad-
dressed envelopes for an advertising
firm. His constant plea with me was
that he wanted to get glass eye out

in these terms:
'Sir-Unless receive 10 shillings
this evening by 10 o'clock my body
will be floating down the Thames. On
your head be it! will call at the

II told my secretary that he had bet
ter send out the 10 shillings. At the
end of the evening I thought Of my
friend.
"'Did you send out the money to
that deserving suicide?' asked.
ono replied my secretary, 4 did
not
II felt myself guilty Of manslaughter
at the least and was much relieved on
leaving the stage door to find the i'm
Fortunate literary man outside.
"'Good evening, my friend said
in cynical revulsion. 4 thought you
were in the Thames
"'Don't be flippant, sir" he said. I

gazing on the dark river my better
feelings conquered. and I've come back

Rough on tho Doctor.

A certain doctor, who is, on his own
frank admission, "the ugliest man in
four countless" has a keen sense Of
humor, which enables him to enjoy
many real and unconscious reflections
upon his facial deficiencies.
Once, after he had arrived too late to
succor a poor woman who had been
hurt in a factory, the local newspa-
per published an ambiguous account Of
the case, which the doctor, with grim
appreciation, preserved.
Having first described how the wo-
man had come by her injuries. the
paragraph went on to say:
"Strong hopes were entertained Of
saving her life until the doctor arrived,
but these hopes unfortunately proved
i'll founded, for the moment he showed
mis- face within the door the poor wo-
man fell back with gasp and ex-

Why an Alias?
One afternoon when the Duke Of
Edinburgh and Sir Arthur Sullivan,
having finished a duet, were sitting
down to a homely dish Of tea pro-
vided by Mrs. Sullivan, the composers
mother, it suddenly occurred to her to
start the subject Of family names and
titles, which puzzled the good lady
considerably.
"sir," she said, "your family name
Is Guelph"
my dear mother began Arthur.
"But it is, isn't it?' she persisted.
Certainly" replied the duke, much
amused. whats the matter with 1t,
Mrs. Sullivan"
"Oh, nothing" returned the excellent
old lady musingly. "Only I can't un-
derstand why you don't call yourself
by your proper name"
Arthur wanted to explain to her, but
the duke would not allow him to.
There's nothing to be ashamed Of
in the name Of Guelph, Mrs. Sullivan"
he said gravely.

so, why you should not call yourself

bestowed upon him. Not so with C. L. Baker of Ophir, however, who was found guilty of trespass in Commissioner Vinars court at Ophir on November p last and was fined SIS. The convicted man re- fused to pay his fine and demanded that he be allowed to serve out the penalty in jail
 But here was where the rub came. There is no Jail at Ophir, and it was necessary while Baker was in custody pending trial to keep him at the roadhouse, and he evi dently found his quarters comfortable The only thing for the commissioner to do was to take him to Idtarod and have him con tined in the federal jail to serve out his sentence, or to suspend the sentence. By the time the prisoner had been brought to this city his time would have expired al most, and Commissioner Vinal, rather than incur the expense for the government, sus- pended the sentence, incidentally giving him some friendly advice.
 Baker was found guilty of trespass on mining ground at the mouth of Care creek claimed by John Rieck This is the ground that has been the subject of much comment recently. For years efforts have been made to locate pay on lower Cane creek, but without success, until Rieck came along and restaked the claim He commenced development work and soon uncovered pay, which created a great deal of interest in that section Baker claimed the ground on which Rieck had staked The contro- versy resulted in the arrest of Baker for +b ;,Qi ton of the nominal penalty.
