YUKON RIVER CAPTAIN
 FOLLOWS LUCKY LUNCH

Capt. Sid Harrington, we'll known Alaska mining and steamboat man, is convinced that it pays to fol low what is commonly known as a
 "hunch." Captain Harrington recent ly became interested in the strike or Rude, Dip and Isaac creeks, near the Yukon river, fifty miles above Daw- son. So interested did he become that he bought four claims on Ra';e creek, Seven below Discovery, and Six, Eleven and Ten above. He then found that Two and Three above Dis covery were also for sale and playing his hunch secured them with the rest, the whole deal costing him $1O,OOO.
 Yesterday he got letter from his mining superintendent, whom he hao previously sent in to work on the first four claims he purchased, telling him that he must by all means buy Two and Three, as they looked the best of the lot and to go as high as $5O00 each. -. .~,
 My superintendent didn't know when he wrote me in regard to Two and Three above Discovery that I had already purchased them," said Capt. Harrington yesterday at the Stevens ''It looks like had the right hunch on those claims, as he is an expert miner. am getting the whole bunch for what he thought I might have to pay for the two alone"
 Capt. Harrington has six men at work on his claims now and will go in himself in the spring. Besides his mining ventures Capt. Harrington will put a new freight and passenger boat on the Stikine river next sea- son. The boat will be powered with gasoline engines. "I already have the freighting contracts from J. E. Chil- berg for supplies to his mine and also for the trading post at Telegraph creek" said Capt. Barrington.-Post- Intelligencer.

CHINESE HUM0R.
Tho Story of the Careless Man and His
 Puzzled Servant.

Tho Story of the Careless Man and His
 Puzzled Servant.
 There was a man who was careless and unobserving. Once, when he was going abroad. he hastily pulled on his shoes, ready to hasten away. when, to his surprise. he found that one of his legs had suddenly become longer than the other.
 He was both puzzled and frightened. for he said to himself: What can be the matter? When I last walked my legs We're the same length. How queer it is! l have met with no acci- dent nor has any one cut piece from my foot palm"
 He felt his legs and then his feet to solve the mystery. At last he discov- cred the mistake to be in his shoes. for he had put on one shoe with thick sole and one with thin sole.
 "These shoes are odd ones and not a pair," said he. So he called loudly for his servant and ordered him quick ly to change his boots.
 The servant went into the room to bring the masters boots, but after a little time came back with a much puzzled expression on his face. His master sternly demanded the boots for which he had sent him, but received for his answer:
 Dear master. 1t is very strange, but there is no use for me to change your boots. for when l examined the pair of boots in the room found that they are just like the pair you have on. for one has a thick sole and the other thin sole."-Chinese Fun and Philoso- phy, in St Nicholas.

|SHIPS REFUSE TO
 CARRY PARCEL POST

The Post Office Department has an- nounced that the parcel post service to Germany, Austria and Hungary has been suspended until further mo- tice because of the refusal of the steamship companieS to accept parcel post mail for those countries. Really this is done because England has become unified at the vast amount of food which is finding it's way to Germany and Austria by way of par eel post and her persistence in stopping our vessels and footing the mails has forced the president to eith- Ter stop England or stop the post So he chose to stop the post.
 The United States government has expended hundreds of millions of dol lars to provide channels and wharf accommodations for foreign ships. These ships agreed to carry our mails and merchandise to all parts of the world to neutral countries. We are not at war with any of the countries which are warning, but still these vessels have abrogated their agree ment.
 The refusal on the part. of any for. eign ship to caSry and United States commodity be it mail or merchandise under any other administration would mean the revocation of the right of that ship to sail to or from our ports.
 But the United States will make no such revocation orders.
 When will the United States have ships of it's own?
 How much longer are we to re- main at the mercy of foreign car riers?

FD|TORS COMMENT
ON IRISH SPEECH
several Of tho Iowa Papers Dig Up
Some past Records Of Man
Who 10 Addressing Anti's
Meetings.
FOR SUFFRAGE ONCE;
pes MoInes Register Says His Views
Have changed-Claim He
Opposed Lincoln's
Policies.

Editorial comment in some of the
Iowa papers is directed against Col
John P. Irish, who is addressing anti
suffrage rallies in the state. Accord
Ing to the Des Moines Register, Col
onel Irish once pleaded for equal
rights, and in the Iowa legislature
made speeches for women suffrage
Another paper suggests that he has
been an anti even opposing Abraham
Lincoln's policies.
Here are some excerpts from the
Des Moines Registers editorial under
the caption, "Mr. Irish Growing Old"
Nothing Is sadder in this world
than the change that comes over SO
many men as they shift from the
buoyant enthusiasms Of youth to the
view-with-alarm dependency of age.

John P. Irish is now making In Iowa

trasted with the speeches he made in
the Iowa legislature for woman suf-

spontaneous eloquence he pleaded for
equal rights. Now he is as solemnly
alarmed as any other pessimist.
why cannot man like Mr.. Irish
recognize that every argument he
now utters against woman as voter
has been uttered many times before
against man as voter? Every ex-
tension of suffrage has been met
with precisely the same objections.
"Mr Irish says woman will smother
the mating instinct If she is enfran-
chised. That was said when she was
given property. That was said when
she was sent to school. That was
said when she entered the gainful en-
ployments. But the alarm has always
been groundless. Every man who
ought to have female companion has
one, and lot Of others who ought
never to have woman look at them.
.American women are the freest in
the world, the most attractive In the
world, and the best mothers In the
world. 1t all goes together. Freedom
and intelligence were never put at
discount by providence"
