An old, yellow, thread Imre,
mackinaw; below, pants (they
might have been overalls, the
many patches ol Hour sacking hard
ly allowed their identification;)
below these one red and one striped
german sock that, fortunately, were
stuck into mocassins, for they
looked as if they ended where the
mocassins began.
Altove the mackinaw a hunch
of whiskers and an old muskrat
•cap.
Total: A Copi>er river stiff.
Wearily he trudged along, alone;
even the mangy, tuoth-eaten, Si
wash iWg Wit* missing. At the
Cates l»e halted and knocked.
St. Peter opened. “‘Who might
it be?”
*'I a:n a Copper river prospector.”
“Why come right in.”
Having entered he unceremoni
ously pulled off his mocassins anti
socks, wrung them out, as uncon
cerned as if lie was still upon the
Copper and had just arrived at
some roadhouse.
Wilting his Imre feet on his retl
(bandana, lie turned to inspect the
surroundings.
How strange and unreal every
thing seemed. He missed the sal
inon-seentcd Si wash, omnipresent
at the arrival of allauw comers.
He missed, most of all, the “recep
tion-shot” his inner self craved,
and he wondered if he was welcome.
Everybody was silent. No tales
were told of new strikes. Jest pay
streaks, lack of water, shortage of
grub or had trails.
.Se-voral men were sitting around
who 11sikcd like old miners, with
nothing to do but wa t until snow
flies again, lnit they said nothing.
The silence was oppressive.
Expectantly he looked towards
them, hut finding that conversation
from that quarter was not foith
■coming, he made up his mind it
was uji to himself.
*“Had .a -hard time of it” he 1k
•gan, '“never saw such high water
as we have had.”
“Oli li—1! came the response
from somewhere in the audience.
“Built a stick canoe,” lie contin
ued, “on the (iulnann. Crookedest
river in Alaska. The swift cur
rent threw me against a sweeper,
upset me and I harely got out
alive.”
“Oh li—1!” he was interrupted.
He quietly glanced up ut his lis
toners and cautiously continued.
“Crossed over to the Gakona, came
out at the lakes, found the entire
country under water. Never saw
such an inundation.”
“Oli h—1!” This time more em
phatic, and in a tone that showed
how deep a feeling of contempt lnul
■caused its utterance.
Undaunted, he overlooked the
interruption, and with a determined
mein, his eyes firmly fixed upon
■an old man, he jurococded.
“Well, I waded for miles tlirough
■swamps, knee deep, until I reached
the Tazlina. Well, you know what
t'.ie Tazl.na is when i. is on a rtint
pagi—rarrios mom water than tt'e

“Hay, who is that white ha ire 1
guinny, with the Neweomh whis

“Oh! excuse me,” says St. Peter,
“I forgot to introduce you. Why,
that - that’s Mr. Noah.”
Rosy.
Tin' only reason given by the
News for opposingHovernorBrady’s
re-appointnirnt, is that he is
wrapped up in agriculture. That
may seem a good reason to a man
who has never hern away from the
coast and who knows nothing of
the possibilities of the interior
from an agricultural standpoint,
but to one who has seen the coun
try the reason will not stand.
Tiie editor of the News should
know, if he does not, that agricul
ture makes , a permanent popula
tion, while mining does not. He
should consult statistics and see
how imii’li hay. grain, meat and
evaporated vegctr.kles go to the in
terior. These supplies are now
being raised on a small scale in the
interior, and there is no reason why
the money spent in Seattle for
them should not be kept in the
country to support au agricultural
population. As tbc country de
velops there is room for plenty of
farmers and stock raisers and there
will be a market for their produce.
llow iu the world a man. who is
slip) osed to he favoring the advan
cement of the country, can present
the argument thatUradv’s attempts
to develop the agricultural resour
ces of the country should be a rea
son for opposing his re-appoint
ment, is beyond the understanding
of any thinking man.

TOURISTS’ FUNNY REMARKS
On* Woman Wanted to Know If th*
Grand Canyon Was Open Sun
days—“Fried Cupid*.”
Burton Holmes lias been travel
ing in the summers mid telling of
Ids travels during the winters for
a dozen years. During that time
lie lias visited almost every coun
try on the glolie. mid now tlmt lie
is in New York, he is mtinnally
meeting friends whom he first met
in Japan, Alaska, Hawaii, India.
Algeria or some other foreign
country.
“The criticism is sometimes
made of the Japanese that they
have no religion," said Mr.
llointes. at Th#- Lambs the other
day, “hut the -criticism is not well
founded. They have a religion,
which, while simple, is sulllcieul
for tlu-ir needs, and it has many
beautiful features. The religion
is known as •Shinto.’ or “Way of
the (lods.* It is a sort of sun wor
ship. ami in the temples a rising
sun is always n prominent part of
the decorations. In fact, it is
ibout all there is in the temples.
*"ome one once said that then* is
nothing to see in a Shinto temple,
unci they won't let yon see it.”
Mr. Holmes says that the* most
interesting feature of his travels
has been the other travelers whom
he* has met. The* enmments that
some* of them make when gazing
for the first time on it wonder of
nature are* exerne-iatingly funny.
Tims a woman who gazed into the*
awe-inspiring (Irand Canyon of
the Colorado for the* first time
mid: “.Inst as I expected; I knew
! would be disappointed. It is nor
a hit like Colorado Spr ngs.” An
other wotmin. when buying ir. San
Frane*iseo a round trip ticket to
the* (Irand Canyon, cautiously
aske*d the railroad agent: “Is the
canyon open on Hand:: vs?” A
third woman gazed emiimtsly at a
group of naked Moki It.dim eliil
dren. who seninpe*rcd away at tin*
approach of strangers an:l ran up
‘adders with the agility of mon
keys. their bronze* skins glistening
in tin* sun. Them she* said: ‘"They
look like frie*d eupids.”
MAKES A LIBERAL OFFER.
Frenchman Will Give Kis Ears, Nose
or Skin to Eoctorc for Graft
ing Purposes.
Though the recent story about
grafting one man's ear upon an
other man’s head, to make good a
loss l»y the latter, proved to bo
without foundation, t!:-re ran la
no doubt about the possibility of
transferring portions of skin
from one human body to another.
That o]>cration lias been per
formed with success too riant
limes to be regarded with skepli
ism. On a more limited scab
aud with less satisfactory results
surgeons have spliced ; i -cos of
hone taken from an nnicvil upon
that of a human leg or arm.
The oar-grafting yarn, havin';
been widely circulated in Knrope.
has led to a remarkable- o'i'or. ,\
Frenchman has written to a su>
geon nam 'd flillanme l.ivet, t >
say that h<* will sell ears, nose or
skin for this purpose.
In casi- lir. l.ivet decs not ri-c.l
them in his own praeti-e. the cor
respondent would esteem i: a fa
vor if he would bear ! in In nivd
in the event of a eolb.■ ;«-> ail
ing them. He also su; vests that
the Academy of Science and t!>
Faculty of Medicine might ft: ’
use for parts of a living b'-dy. "If
so please let me know, and 1 will
be most grateful.”
He adds a postscript to the of
feet that the charges for part' of
his anatomy will be “moderate at
first." Indeed, it is only n Mural
to suppose that ti e vi’i ;.d
vance proportionately to t';<• re
luetion of his perron. He also
ays that spe--ia! arrangements
nay be made for the pour who
