1azAars Dirty But Rich.

The Grand Trunk road, that might / artery of the Indian empire, leads into Delhi, white and straight, and very hot and dusty. The grooming bullock carts kick up the dust in clouds, logging the green leaves of the banyan trees. A scattered knot of towers, Delhi looms on the horizon, and as the road draws nearer, she rises in detail, a low, flat city behind her walls and battlements. The streets are narrow, lined with rlckety, one-story houses; the shops are even dirtier than most Indian na. tive shops, and spread their wares pro- miscuously around the floor. It is all part of the eternal contradictions of the East to learn that the Delhi ba. zaars are the richest in Asia and the finest jewels in all India are to be had in these tumble-down, paper-patched shanties.

Story Of At,.nt,. isiand

He location of 1t is about half way be. tween the western projection of Africa and the Gulf of Mexico. It's civilisa- tion was supposed to be very advanced ard Its powerful armies were said to have penetrated Africa as far as Egypt. The whole island, according to this legend, was engulfed by the sea an . day and night. Another story says that q great earthquake destroyed the island. The legend was ascribed to Egyptian priests, and on some old Italian maps Atlantis Is placed to the westward of the Azores. Among some tribes of South and Central America there is the legend of vast cataclypm which engulfed great extent of'land. Eminent scientists have found noth- ing impossible :a the existence at come time of great Atlantic island, but tho story of Atlantis is generally regarded aS . myth.

In course of time the horse died, muck to the grief of the good ladies whom he had served so faithfully and we'll The providing of successor was the next problem, and, as funds were short the nuns decided to resort to prayer. They prayed long and earnestly and one morning they discovered horse grazing on the lawn. They were flrm- ly convinced that their prayers had been answered; the horse was taker to the stable and harnessed to the bus. A few days later the institu- tiOn was visited by prominent citizen the owner of number Of race horses and supporter of charity. He claimed the bus horse as one of his racers, in spite of the protest of the nuns that It had been sent to them in response to their earnest prayers. He was good enough, however, to give them a real bus horse to replace the horse that he had claimed.

A FRIENDLY WARNING.

Of course the details are still lacking, but from reports those who compose what are known as pro German" clements among the miners in Alaska. are breeding sores on their noses. and unless they mend their ways these sores are likely to prove costly; dangerous to their health and tending to interfere with their prosperity.
 It is plainly apparent that as the days pass the country is becoming more and more united When the war was first declared to exist by the United States, a large number of real Americans were lukewarm in their support of the declaration; but today that disposition has almost entirely disappeared, resulting in a very much united country For that reason Messrs Pro-Germans and l. w. W.'s had better be careful of their actions.
 Here in Alaska we have no time to jolly along hose who will retard the development of the country Ne have untold wealth buried in the mountains and streams which can benefit nobody unless it is gotten out. Bearing that in mind it will be exceedingly unhealthy for any elements to hinder Us in our research. This leads to the friendly advice to the pro-Germans in Alaska to mend their ways
