RECORD GOLD YIELD
 IN 1881 EXPECTED

With gold shipments from the Territory for the first six months of this year over 50 per cent in excess of the ship ments for a like period of 1880, there is a strong probab- ility that the production of Alaska's gold mining industry in 1881 will be the largest since 1917, according to the Juneau Empire.
 The total of shipments for January, February, March, April May and June of the current year was $3,178,38O, according to the official fig ures reported by John c. Me Bride, Collector of Customs. The same six months last year had shipments aggregating S2, 048,906, the Empire con- tinues.
 The gain for this year was 'S1, ,129,174, or in excess of 50 per cent. It has been register ed steadily, each month show ing bigger shipments than the corresponding month of 1880.
 The first half of the year, naturally, is the period when shipments are smallest. This is due to the fact that placer mining operations, including the big dredgeing projects at Fairbanks and Nome, and small lodes in the interior, are closed down for the winter. While this year, some of the dredges in the Fairbanks dist rict opened in April, the whole fleet did not swing into line until about June l, and the Nome boats did not begin work until later than that. Smaller projects were also later get ting under way.
 If the average monthly gain for the first half year should be maintained for the last, the years total would reach elev- en and three-quarter million dollars.
 Even if there should be no increase, and production just hold even pace, the total pro- duction will reach $9,999,999. It is generally believed that there will continue to be in- creases in the next six months, sufficient to bring the years output of gold to about $1O,- 000,0OO.
 This would be the largest production in IA years, exceed ing any year since 1917 when it was $14,939,44O. That fig ure includes silver also, which is not embraced in the figures for this year. The output of the latter metal this year will be abnormally small.
 So far it has aggregated but $45,560, as compared to some $94,OO0 for the corresponding period for 1880, due to the low prices for the metal which have lessened the value of the output and caused reduction in recoveries.

YOUR CHILDREN MMyg&bens&alzou

Most of us know the mother whose child is never wrong.
 Her son fell through the ice be- cause another boy dared him to go where the ice was thin. Her girl copied her nightwork from neigh Dor because the teacher gave them too much homework to get through with. Her children are always in trouble because, the neighbors pick quarrels.
 They are bullied. dared, tempted. tormented, but when they get into trouble it is never their fault
 She goes to school, she calls up other mothers. she does great deal of talking to everybody. and all she earns for herself is q reputation.
 shall make an exception here of the occasional mother who has a real complaint to make and who sees the opportunity for a little quiet correction of a difficult situa- ton. That done I shall go back to the first, to her with the chronic complaint. who tries to shield the real truth from herself and the world, the real truth being that her children cannot meet the world as it is.
 That boy who dared the skater, the teacher who probably overstep- ped herself in giving out home work, the irritatinf children next door, all represent something.
 They represent the world, its problems and temptations and trials. Who, when this mother is gone, is going to fly around to her chifdren's friends explaining, eXcusing and pleading that it was not their fault?
 Character Spells Happiness
 No one, of course, and the world that also tries us gives us our rat ing. Every one of us. whether pauper or millionaire, brilliant or stupid, weak or strong, must stand on his own feet. And although with equal blessings, what we call blessings may be the very cross those born with them will have to bear, and the handicaps may be blessings.
 Be that as 1t may, true happiness lies only in character. And I am just old fashioned enough to believe in a certain law of compensation.
 If this nervous mother wants her children to learn to live she will not try to shield them but instead she will try to develop strength and happiness within themselves. She will teach them resistance to temp tation, self-reliance, federation and contentment. Also she will teach them that consequences of their own acts must be born by them. We have no use for the tattler. the complain CT, the er-behind-skirts. And she is encouraging all three things.
 Again I shall have to drag in the Spartan women who taught their sons to bear agony without com

 She could make little out of the conversation. It seemed that Clifford had made no move to dis pose of the ring. His possessions had been searched but there was no trace of it. The conversation went on. Then, in a minute, Harry said:

 Corrine couldn't decide If she really wanted to hurt Harry so cruelty or to redeem herself in his honest gray eyes.

CHAPTER NLVII.

tIl-i Llk lI "I fail to sec any necessity for al this secrecy and hocuspocus. Dis trict Attorney Sanderson protested irritably "Why the devil don't yol come clean and give us the low down-if you have it!-on this mis. erable business. instead of high handedly summoninG Captain Strawn to my office, so that you can give orders to us both?' Before Dundee could answer. Cap tain Strawn came to his assistance
 II worked with this boy fol pretty near year, Bill, and never yet did he fail to make good when he said he had d pot on to boil. If he says it will boil over this even- ing. provided we help him. boil over it will, or don't know Bonnie Dundee!'
 Sanderson scowled. but capitu- lated. 'All right! What do you want"
 "Thanks. chief. And thanks, Cap tain." Dundee cried. with heartfelt gratitude. "First, l want to be eX- cused from attending the adjourned inquests into the two murders scheduled for 3 o'clock to-day"
 70. K Sanderson agreed shortly.
 Second, after about an hour of routine stuff. I wish you'd ask for another adjournment until to-mor- TOW, on the plea that important developments are expected to-day"
 70. K. again!'
 "Third. I'd like you personally to request the appearance of every person connected in any way with each of the murders. in your office this afternoon at 4 o'clock-so the whole bunch will be kept together and have TO chance to go to their homes or anywhere else until I am ready for them. You can say that. owing to the illness of your mother during the investigations, you want to question everyone per sonally."
 "Do you want all the servants brought here. too?' Sanderson asked.
 "None but Lydia Carr" Dundee answered. After about an hours innocuous questioning. please in- vite them to accompany you to the Selim house. For that"-and he grinned-"is where the pot is sched- uled to boil over I'd like everybody to be there by 5:15."
 "Where do I come in?" Captain Strawn demanded. almost iealously.
 "NoW that you are no longer looking for a New York gunman, l suppose you have plenty of plain clothesmen at your disposal?" Dun dee asked, and was instantly sorry he had reminded his former chief of the collapse of his cherished and satisfying theory.
 Plenty" Strawn answered gruff- ly. "How many will you need?"

The Bidding

The Bidding.
 south, the dealer, opened the bidding with one club. West. al- though holding ore and one-half tricks, has no biddable suit and must pass. North bids one spade, East two hearts and South takes the contract to four spades which closes the bidding.
 The Play.
 EaSt's correct opening is the king of hearts. and although the declarer can win the trick in his own hand with the ace, he trumps in dummy with the three of spades, thereby retaining control of the suit. The queen of spades is re- turned from dummy which West wins with the ace.
 If West were to make the mis- take of returning spade in an endeavor to stop the declarer from ruffing another heart in dummy, North ard South would make a small slam. West must reason that the deciarer certainly holds the ace of hearts or would have attempted to ruff hearts before leading trump.
 As the club suit is solid in the dummy and will probably provide the declarer with enough discards, West must further reason that the only possible chance they have for a trick 's to find the ace of dia- lnonds in his partners hand. Even ii the decIarer holds the ace of dia- monds, trere is no harm done with the diamonds, there is no harm done with the diamond lead, so West leads the four of diamonds which East wins with the ace, returning the nine of diamonds, dummy plays the eight, West wins the trick with the king, declarer false-carding with the ten.
 However, West comes right on with the seven of diamonds which East. his partner, trumps with the seven of spades. which gives thom four tricks and defeats the declare:'s contract. Any other heturn would have allowed the declarer to make small siam for difference of three tricks. (Copyright. 1880. NEA Service. Incl

NANCY PAGE  Cream of Tomato Soup May Be Smooth as Velvet By Florence La Ganke.

' Lois was lunching at the club and cream of tomato soup she ever had
 tasted. q wonder how the cook
 made it, said she to the waitress more to make conversation than you, Mrs Miller" With that she went to the kitchen and came back
 with this information.
 '"The cook uses canned tomatoes, table cream or top milk, butter, flour and seasoning of salt, pepper, Sugar. Sometimes she adds q stalk of celery or some celery seed, and occasionally slice of onion. And
 she asked me to say emphatically- no soda" "No soda,' calculated Lois, "why l am surprised. thought you had to have soda to keep the soup from curdling." "I thought so, too, ma'am, but the cook says mo-" Lois took down
 the directions which the waitress gave her.
 "Put two cups canned or stewed tomatoes in a saucepan with slice of onion, a stalk of celery cut in small pieces. or celery leaves or eel cry root. Adu tiny piece OL pay leaf Cook for ten minutes In the meantime melt two tablespoons but ter, add two tablespoons flour and cook until bubling. Add one cup cream and three cups milk to the roux. Cook until smooth and bub- bling.
 Strain the tomato mixture.
 Pour the hot tomato slowly into the hot cream sauce. Season to taste, using about one teaspoon salt, two teaspoons sugar and little white
 pepper.
 By pouring the acid tomato slow ly into the milk there is less dan ger of curdling than if the milk is poured into the large amount of acid tomato. Soda will counteract the acidity of the tomato but 1t will also destroy the flavor and make the soup taste brackish. Keep the soup hot in the upper part of a double boiler until serving time."
