From report Of the CnssI ALI

all denials, the eX-kaiscr's birthday
was celebrated Mt the Germany army

"Even people Of different views

loyalty If we should hesitate TO admit
frankly that we are thinking today
with love, gratitude, reverence and
great sorrow of the kaiser, to whom
we have hitherto devoted our lives and
our actions. and for whom we were

treasure for the welfare of the father

den which Gods inscrutable will has
placed upon him. Let us drink n ST.

 The man who is foot loose should begin to lay his plans now. Nearly every able bodied man in the camp is working. By the time the river closes each should have enough saved from his wages to give him grubstake for ihe winter.
 It is an easy matter to dlssipate that grubstake to no advantage even before the ice chokes the river. It is ust as easy to buy d prospecting or d tripping outfit with the money aud to get into lhe hills.
 The wise man will not hesitate to capitalize hts winter days. He can do 50 in this country by purchasing picks, shovels and pans, or traps and snow shoes, and d moderate quantity of food and clothing.
 The man who lies idle in the cabin in town all winter is of no service to himself or the country during that period. In the hills he has the great advantage of opportunity He will eat no more while busy prospecting or trapping than if idle, and he will have an appetite which will be the envy of potentates and plutocrats.
