Since leaving Fairbanks for
the Chisana, by the way of
Dawson, ihe latter part of last
summer, Harry Dewey, the well
known decorator, has not been
heard from, and his friends
fear that some misfortune has
overtaken him on the long trip
to the new diggings. When
he left Fairbanks. Mr. Dewey
planned on stopping at Daw
'son to enlarge his outfit and
lo purchase some stock which
lie was to take into the Chis
ana. Meager reports state that
he bought the outfit at Daw
son as intended, and started
overland, and it is not known
whether he abandonedthe trip
later and went outside or to
some other section of the
country. As he had some bus
iness matters pending in Fair
banks which would require
his attention his friends feel
certain that he’ would have
written if he had been in a
position to do so, and on this
account they arc particularly
anxious.—Fairbanks Times.

TROUBLES OF THE JUDGE
• _
I’d hate to be a jurist and
lislen by the day to lawyers
whom a purist would feel de
sire to slay; to hear their man- |
gled grammar, their pleadings
longjiud dull, and have at hand ,
no hammer with which to bust
a skull. I’d hate to sit forever
and watch attorneys rag the 1
witness pert and clever, the
witness with a jag, the wdlness
scared and rattled until three- j
quarters dead, the witness who,
embattled, would punch.a law
yer’s head. I‘d hate to sit and
pondero’er books that bring
despair, o’er stupid laws that
wander, and drivel Jove knows
where. I’d hate to have to
hearken to skates who talk too
much, with intellects that dark
en all matters that they touch.
I’d hate to make decision on
knotty points of law7, and know
the next court’s vision is sure
to find a flaw. To watch o’er
stupid juries with minds upon
the blink, would fill my soul
with furies and drive me soon
to drink. To sit for years and
measure out law, upon the
bench, and be denied the pleas
ure of taking monkey wrench
and killing ten attorneys, and
other healthful sport—oh, gee,
I'm glad my journeys don’t
load me into court.—Walt
Mason.

PICTURESQUE DAMASCUS.
A Garden City Whose Beauty Halted
Mohammed at Its Gates.
The hotel In Damascus in which we
stay Is called the Grand Victoria,
but It is above a blacksmith shop and
a saddle shop. The lower BtorleB are
mostly blank, bare walls. From tho
upper stories project balconies of lot*,
ticed oriels, some of which extend so
fnr over the street as to make it easy
for the veiled damsel of the harem to
leap across.
In contrast with these plain exteri
ors the interiors are often exquisitely
beautiful, having an open court paved
with marble and a fountain fed by the
waters of the Abaua, tinkling and
splashing through the hot hours of the
day, and wooing one to rest during the
cool of the evening. Falms, orange
trees and oleanders stand here and
there. Within the house you discover
rooms cold and formal to an American,
but brilliant with orlentn! bangings,
brasses and inlaid mother-of-pearl fur
nishings. Damascus is perhaps the
second city In importance in the mind
of the Mohammedans. It is a garden
city made to be indeed an oasis in the
desert by tho Abana river, which, find
ing life in the snows of Hermon’s
breast, (lows through this city with in
creasing volume as if it intended to
regenerate, the desert, into which it
pours all its wealth, and does verita
bly make this section to “blossom ns
the rose.” It is not to be wondered at
that Mohammed drew rein outside the
walls when first he saw the city and
said. “Since man can enter paradise
but once, 1 will not enter this earthly
paradise lest I be shut out from the
heavenly."—Christian Herald.
WHO TOLD THE TRUTH?
Feminine Life From the Viewpoints of
Home and Business.
Who Lohi the truth?
They met In the subway one morn
ing, a young mother and a young pro
fessional woman. They had been
friends at school, but eons had pass
ed. and now, after some ten years,
they began to discuss their present
jobs—of motherhood and journalism.
However, journalism seemed to fill
most of the time, and motherhood was
dismissed after a few desultory ques
tions about Billy, whose fame consist
ed in being seven years old and just
entering school.
“Oh, tell me about your work," said
the mother.
"There is quite a bit to tell of it,”
said the egotistical woman of business,
and immediately launched upon the
joys, woes, disadvantages and advan
tages of the business woman’s career.
“My, but that is most interesting!”
said the mother, whose eyes were pop
ping out of her head at the mere men
tion of the famous persons the jour
nalist knew. “1 certainly shall buy
your magazine and rend it!”
“Grand Central station!” mumbled
the guard.
“Goodby,” said the mother. “Your
life is certainly worth while.”
“Goodby,” replied the journalist.
"Not nearly as much worth while as
yours.”
Who told the truth? —New York
Tribune.
Ben Franklin’s KesnnesA
Two incidents recall the keenness
and the thoroughness—the great twin
abilities, to see und to utilize—of Ben
Franklin. One day he chanced to ob
serve a lady in the possession of an
imported whisk broom. With his usual
interest and careful consideration he
examined it as a novelty. He discov
ered on the brush of the broom a seed,
which he carefully removed. Present
ly he planted it, and the growth from
this seed was the first crop of bfoom
corn in this country. Again one day
when Dr. Franklin was walking by
Dock creek he saw stuck in the mud
a wickerwork basket, which had sprout
ed. Carefully he fished out the basket
and carefully took it apart. He gave
cuttings to his friend, Charles Norris,
who planted the twigs In his garden,
where they grew to great size. They
turned out to be yellow willows and,
as Franklin had foreseen, proved of
great commercial value.
Spoiled Their Appetites.
“Why Is Sweden like heaven?’’ asked
the thin boarder, coming to the break
fast table.
“I know," came from the little blond
typewriter.
“Well, if yon know push it along,
Sweetmeats," said the thin boarder.
“Becnuse”—
“The same old answer.”
"No, it's not. 1 was going to say be
cause it is a foreign country." essayed
the little blond.
"Wrong." came from the thin man.
"Listen. Because nearly all the match
es are made there."—Yonkers States
