Was at St. Michael
 When U. S. Flag Was
 First Unfurled There

A most interesting visitor, Elea Scherbakoff, spent a part.of the past week in McGrath.
 Though nearing his seventieth 'birth- day, Mr. Scberbakof looks just a triAe over fifty, and is still an active man, acting as engineer on the steamer Tc- .ootua.
 He was born at Old Andreaofski sta tion in 1851, and as d boy travelled up and down the Yukon on the Russian steamers which. came each summer with supplies for the Russian stations along the river.:He was in St. Michael when the U. $. steamerGeerge Wright, Capt. Heinig, came to raise the United States Flag after the purchase tof Alaska from Russia, in@1867.
 Later, Mr. Scherbakof worked with the crews surveying telegraph routes, raising poles, etc., in the project to connect Europe-Asia and America by telegraph, the intention being to lay 8 cable across Boring strait. When the news came that the laying of the At lantic cable had been successful, the work ic Alaska was discontinued.

Austru1a's exact position on wor1t.
maps, originally determined by Cap
tain Cook, the early explorer; was
brought into question recently when
wireless authorities, after direct check
ing by radio with standard time
clocks at Lyons, France, said they be-
lieved there IS an error Of perhaps
100 yards on all maps in Australia's
north-south lines.
Seafarers who first sketched Aus
tralia's position based their calcula-
tions on the thermometer, the finely
made watch which keeps Greenwich
time. Corrections were made from
time to time. until final checking by
cable was believed to be accurate.
Lately, however, Sydney wireless
men who have been listening to the
clock ticks at Lyons, say they have
discovered there is perceptible loss
of time in transmitting the correct
seconds over the cable. The loss. it
Is said. led to errors in map-making.

CHAPTER TX.

In Which BIN kelso Makes History,
While Abe and Harry and Other
Good Citizens OF New Salem Are
Making an Effort to That End in the
Indian War.
In the midst Of springtlme there
came Cheering news from the old hom:,
IN vermont-a Letter to Sarah FROM
her brother. which contained the vel
ONE promise that he was coming Is
visit them snd expected to be n
Bearthstown about the Fourth of May.
Samson drove across country to meet
the steamer He was at the landing
when the Star Of the North arrived
He saw every passenger that came
ashore, and Eltphalet Biggs, leading
his big bay mare, was one Of them, bur
the expected visitor did not arrive
There would be no other steamer
bringing passengers from the East for
a number Of days.
Samson went to store and bought
a new dress and sundry bits of finery
FOR Sarah. He returned to New Salem
with heavy heart. Sarah stood In the
open door as he drove up.
Didn't come" he said mournfully.
Without word, Sarah followed him
20 the barn, with the tin lantern in her
hand. He gave her hug as he got
down from the wagon. He was little
given to like displays of emotion.
Don't feel bad" he said.
"Tve given them up-I don't believe
we shall ever see them again." said
Sarah. as they were walking toward
the door. Il think know how the
dead feel who are so soon forgotten"
I'VE can't blame EN- said Samson.
They've probably heard about the
1njun scare and would expect to be
massacreed if they came"
Indeed the scare, now abating. had
spread through the border settlements
and kept the people awake O. nights.
Samson and other men, left in New
Salem, had met to consider plans for
a stockade.
"And then there's the fever an
ague," Samson added.
Sometimes feel sorry I told EN-
about 1t. because they'll think it worse
than It is. But we've got to tell the
truth If 1t kills u.s.
Yes; we've got to tell the truth"
Samson rejoined. 'sThere1l be rail-
road coming through here one Of these
days and then we can all get back
and forth easy. If it comes it's going
to make US rich. Abe says he expects
1t within three or four years."
Sarah had hot supper ready for
him. As he stood warming himself
by the fire she put her arms around
him and gave him little hug.
'You poor tired mani" she said.
How patient and how good you are!''
There was kind Of apology for
this moment Of weakness in her look
and manner: Her face seemed to say:
Its silly but I can't help It."

Sarah sewing By the tireside. with Joe

British Museum ovsrcrowd.d

The British museum, says a London
writer In the New York Post, has
reached the end Of its rope. SO far as
space is concerned. BY the law Of
1880 every English author, whether
domiciIed at home or in the dominions
is obliged to place two copies Of his
books with the museum. which IN turn
guarantees to keep them In good con-
dition and make them accessible to the
reading public. The same applies to
newspapers. Space for the latter was
exhausted some time ago and spe-
ciaI barracks was built to store them.
It IL now feared that the same plan

the Voters"
She observed that there were tears
in his eyes.
I'VE are all very fond Of you," she
said. as she bent to her task.
Then the boy told her the history Of
his morning-the talk with BIN, with
the razor omitted from it.
"Well, Harry, If she's such a fool.
you're lucky to have found it out SO
soon," said Sarah. "She does little but
ride the pony and play around with a
gun. don't believe she ever spun q
hank o yarn in her life. She'll get her
teeth cut by and by"
Then fell moment of silence Soon
she said:
There's a bitter wind blowing and
there's no hurry about the rails,
guess. You sit here by the fire and
read your book this forenoon. Maybe
it will help you to find your work."
So it happened that the events of
Harry's morning found their pluce in
the diary which Sarah and Samson
kept. Long afterward Harry added the
sentences about the razor.
One evening Sarah and Samson,
with Harry, went to debate in the
tavern on the issues Of the day, in
which Abe won the praise Of all for an
able presentation Of the claim Of In
ternal Improvements. During that
evening Alexander Ferguson declared
that he would not cut his hair until
Henry Clay became President, the
news Of which resolution led to a like
insanity in others and an age of I'M
exampled hairiness on that part Of the
border.
For Samson and Sarah the most
notable social event Of the winter was
chicken dinner at which they and
Mr.. and Mrs. James Rutledge and Ann
and Abe Lincoln and Doctor Allen
were the guests Of the Kelsos. That
night Harry stayed at home with the
children.
Kelso was in his best mood.
Come" he said, when dinner was
ready. Life is more than friendship.
1t is partly meat"
"And mostly Kelso," said Doctor
Allen.
"Ah, Doctors! Long life has made
you as smooth as an old shilling and
nimbler than sixpence," Kelso de-
clare1. "And, speaking Of life, Aris-
totle said that the learned and the un-
learned were as the living and the

"But ! have mastered only eight

"And one-the book. Of common
sense, and that has wised you." Kelso
went on. "Since l came to this coun.
