MINERS ARE LOST
The launch Brighton, the
Port Wells mail boat reached
Valdez last week, bringing the
story of two prospectors and
miners who are known to be at
the head of long bay, and who
must be out of supplies by
this time. The two men, Ben
Howell and Arthur DeRoche,
went to the head of the bay in
November, taking a small out
fit and expected to secure
supplies at intervals and they
arranged with Captain Stanley
to have him leave their mail at
a point on Glacier island, where
they would come for it every
trip, but since Dec. 15 they
have not called at the box for
the jjiail, of which more than
100 pounds have accumulated.
The Brighton made a deter
mined effort to reach the men
and bucked the ice for two
miles until finally the sharp ice
cut through the bow of the
Brighton causing the water to
How into the ship and forcing
Captain Stamey to place every
thing of weight at the stern of
his boat to filt the bow clear. I
The tender was loaded with
water and the bow lifted clear
of the leak, when temporary re
pairs were made, after which
the effort at rescue was aband
oned. Friends of the two men
are anxious to know of their
fate and hope to arrange for
another attempt to reach the
men. Because of the poor ise.
strong enough to prevent small
boats from going into the bay,
but two weak to allow men
walking over it to the camp
at the head of the bay, the use
oi a boat is necessary.

BLOODED STOCK
Roy L. Smith
A Nebraska framer was cross
ing his pasture with a friend.
As the men walked along they
discussed the coming election
The farmer believed in license
and defended his belief with
the usual arguments of “con
trol and regulation.” More
than that .he declared that he
did not feel inclined to vote a
gainst the saloonkeeper of the
little village for he was a good
fellow, always ready to assist
a neighbor, and his license
helped to keep down taxes. At
length, as if to dismiss the sub
ject, he exclaimed, “Well, what
is this thing to me anyhow?
My children are all little and
there never were any drinkers
in our family. I guess I am
not running any particular
risk.”
The topic was temporarily
dropped and the farmer proceed
ed to expatiate upon the fine
points of his slock, indicating
one splendid specimen after an
other, and giving pedigrees and
records with great pride. Sud
denly* he stopped and plucking
up a little weed threw il over
the fence with a grunt of satis- j
faction. “What was that-” in
quired the friend curiously.
“That was a “loco weed.” If
the stock should happen to get
hold of it and eat it they would
go crazy and be useless, for a
while at least. It was lucky I
found that little sprig; it might
have caused me considerable
trouble.” “But why don’t you
put a high fence around il; reg
ulate it; control il? inquired
the friend solemnly. Why 1
cant afford to run the risk,”
said the farmer. “That stock
is all blooded stock. II repre
sents too much money.” “Ah,
now I see why you do not vote
ively responded the friend.
“Your boys and your girls are
not blooded slock."—Union

Father Hubbard.
Tlie nursery knows nothing of Fa
ther Hubbard, but in 1004 Thomas
Middleton published "Father Hub
bard's Tale of the Ant and the Night
ingale.” In the introduction he ex
plains: "Why I call these Father
Hubburd's tales is not to hnve them
called in again as the Tale of Mother
Hubburd. The world would show lit
tle judgment in that, i'faith, and I
should say then, ‘plena stultorum om
nia,' for I entreat here neither of rug
ged bears nor apes, no, nor the lam
entable downfall of the old wife's
platters. 1 deal with no such metal.”
Since Spenser's “Mother Hubberd”
does not seem to hnve been called in
and says nothing about bears or plat
ters. Middleton is evidently alluding
to some other ‘‘Mother Hubburd.”—
London Standard.
Ibsen and Love.
Tennyson says that It is better to
hnve loved and lost than never to have
loved at all. Ibseu maintained—uot in
a general philosoi..ilcnl way, but with
respect to the conditions he saw im
mediately around him—that it is bet
ter, if youthfully, romantically in love,
to separate rather than to marry. Ib
sen is in agreement with the brillinut
Frenchman who asserted that all com
edies end with a wedding, because it is
then that the tragedy begins!—From
Archibald Henderson’s "European
Dramatists.”
Just Alike.
“Have you seen my umbrella?” ask
ed the cashier of the bookkeeper.
“What sort of on umbrella was it?”
“It had a hooked end.”
“I-have not seen it, but I had a nice
one given me at Christmas, and the
end was exactly like yours. It was
hooked too.”—Lippincott's.
Origin of the Eskimo.
No satisfactory solution of the ques
tion of the origin of the Eskimo has
ever been given. Whether they came
from Asia or from North America,
whether they are related to the more
southern American Indians or to the
Tartars of the great Asian continent,
is still open to debate.
How Rows Begin.
“Hubby, I dreamed last night that
you didn't love me."
“How foolish you are!”
“Foolish, am I? As if I could help
what I dream about!”
And the fracas was on.—Louisville
Courier-Journal.
Why He Howled.
