What a Mortgage Sloes
The mortgage calls for just as
many dollars when grain is cheap
as when grain is dear. It is not
drowned by the heavy rains. It never
winter kills. Late' springs and early
frosts never trouble it. It grows
nights, Sundays, rainy days and even
holidays. Potato bugs do not disturb
it. It brings a sure crop every year
and sometimes twice a year. It pro
duces cash every time. It does not
have to wait for the market to ad
vance. It is not subject to specula
tion by the bulls and bears on the
board of trade. It 1s a load that galls
and frets and chafes. It is a burden
that the farmer cannot shake off. It
is with him morning, noon and at
night. It eats with him at the table.
It rides upon his shoulders during
the day. It consumes his grain crop
and devours his cattle. It selects the
finest horses and the fattest steers.
It lives upon the fruit of the season.
It stalks into his dairy, where his
busy housewile toils day after day
and month after month, and takes
the nicest cheese and choicest but
ter. It shares the children’s bread and
robs them of their clothes. It stoops
the tailor's back with its remorse
less burden of care. It hardens his
bands, benumbs his intellect, pre
maturely whitens his locks and often
times sends him and his aged wife
over the hills to the poor house. It
is the inexorable and exacting task
makeh. Its whip is as merciless and
cruel as the lash of the slave driver.

'Preparing for a season that gives
jrtomise of being by. far. fbe. best In
teeent y^nrg as a result of heavy
tourist travel through Seattle, tbe
White Pass & Yukon system is over
bciuling its Yukon River fleet. Book
ings to date show that the Yukon
vessels this year will carry a record
breaking number of tourists, pleasure
seekers from all over the United
States having already engaged pas
sage in large numbers.
The White Pass & Yukon’s fleet
operates the entire length of the
great Yukon valley, from Whitehorse
to St. .Michael, including the Tatiana
River :and Fairbanks.
Jtihn L. Burnside, general agent of
the 'White Pass & Yukon and allied
corporations, has announced in Seat
tle ttoat the Yukon river service will
be inaugurated the middle of May by
a steamer sailing from lower Le
Barge. The first river boat from
Whitehorse will sail June 1.
An unprecedented rush for tourist
bookings for the Yukon river vessels
is reported by Burnside. Last year
the White Pass & Yukon made its
first big bid for pleasure-seeking traf
fic. featuring a “midnight sun" ex
cursion to old Fort Yukon. The
pleasure seekers spent June 21, the
longest (lay of tlie year, at Fort Yu
kon. watching the sun complete its
24-hour circuit without disappearing
below the horizon. As if to help out
the cause, nature staged a freak com
mination, adding a galaxy of sundogs
and an inverted rainbow.
Wealthy eastern tourists who made
the trip have been talking about it
ever since, with the result that the
company has had to provide for two
big excusion parties this year. An
unprecedented rush in early bookings
has made this necessary.
The first crowd of pleasure seekers
will leave Seattle June 14 on the Pa
cific Coast Steamship Company’s liner
City of Seattle. The second party will
leave the following day on the Alaska
Steamship Company’s liner, Mariposa.
Advance bookings for the grand
tour of the North are also being re
ceived in an unprecedented rush by
the White Pass & Yukon. The
grand tours were inaugurated last
year and drew largs crowds of New
Yorkers, Bostonians and other east
ern, southern and Middle West pleas
ure seekers to Seattle and Alaska.
The company has arranged for two
grand tours this season, the first big
crowd of tourists leaving here June
14, and the second July 7.
The grand tour takes the pleasure
seekers from Seattle to Skagway, to
Whitehorse, to the Klondike, to Fair
banks and Tanana, to St. Michael,, to
Nome and Bering Sea, and thence to
Seattle by Unimak Pass via Kodiak,
Anchorage. Seward, Columbia Gla
cier, Valdez and Cordova. The tour
requires forty days.

eling man, left on the Northwestern
for Seward after spending several
days in town.

Impressions of himself by often indulgr

Who ,tf«re. la^qhle ,of understanding

wag this: Thackeray had Men dining
at the Garrick and was talking in the
smoking room after dinner with vari
ous club acquaintances. One p( them
happening to have left his cigar case
at home, Thackeray, (bough disliking
the man, who was a notorious tuft
hooter, (food natnredly offered him one
of hi* {cigars. The man accepted the
cigar, bat, not finding it to his liking,
had the t»qd tast/e to say to Thackeray,
"I say, Thackeray, you won't mind my
saying I don't think much ot tbia ci
gar?" Thackeray, no doubt irritated at
the man’s ungraciousness and Maring
in mind bis tuft hunting predilections,
quietly responded. “You ought to, my
good fellow, for It was given me by
a lord.” Instead, however, of detecting
the Irony, the dolt. Immediately at
tributed the remark to snobbishness on
Thackeray’s part and to the end of
his days went about declaring that
Thackeray had boasted that he had
Men given a cigar by n lord.
Show Your Gratitude.
Gratitude is one of the prettiest
posies in the bouquet of human virtues.
Cultivate it and it will bloom always.
Gratitude costs nothing, but repays
much, and yet it is a gem of, character
that is rare indeed.
Never forget the friend who threw
you the life line. To do that is treason
of the rankest kind. Keep green in your
heart the memory of every obligation
and lose no opportunity to repay it.
Show your gratitude for a kind act
done yon by doing a kind act for some
one else.
A grateful “Thank you!” for a seat iu
a street car reimburses the man who
hangs to a strap. Silently accept the
seat as a matter of course and you
have started that man on the slide to
selfishness.
Kick out of your selfish shell and ex
press your gratitude on the least provo
cation. If you never give gratitude
never expect it. In proportion to your
gratitude so will you be graded by your
fellow men.—l'.oston Post
“Uncle Sam.”
Tile application of the term “Uncle
Sum" to the United States had its be
ginning in Troy. N. Y.t during the war
of 1S12. A commission contractor of
Troy named Elbert Anderson had a
shop in which the stocks were always
examined and passed by a government
inspector called Samuel Wilson, who
was generally known as “Uncle Sam."
When the boxes were passed they were
always marked with the initials of the
contractor and the nation. “EA-US."
One day the man who was doing the
marketing was asked what the initials
stood for and replied jokingly that they
were the initials of the contractor and
of “Uncle Sam." The joke spread
among the men, got into print and long
before the end of the wax had become
known all over the country. Mr. Wil
son. the original “Uncle Sam.” died In
Troy In 1854.—New York Times.
Match Sticks.
Certain kinds of matches are shaved
with the grain from sawed blocks.
Others are cut both ways by saws. In
still further varieties the blocks are
boiled to make them cut easily. By i
some machines a boiled or steamed log
is revolved on its own axis, and a
shaving the thickness of a match is
cut round and round. This shaving is
at the same time cut into lengths anil
split into match sticks. It may be said
that there is hardly a limit to the vari
eties of methods employed. Round
matches are made by forcing them
through dies.—Harper’s.
The Capacity to Sleep.
Very enviable is the capacity to
sleep in any position, which has been
attributed to Chinese soldiers. In his
“Chinese Characteristics” Dr. Arthur
H. Smith, the American missionary,
says: “It would be easy to raise in
China an army of a million men—nay.
of 10,000.000—tested by competitive
examination as to their capacity to go
to sleep across three wheelbarrows,
with head downward, like a spider,
their mouths wide open and a fly in
side.”— London Opinion.
He Had Been There.
“I beg you to observe.” said the tal
ented pianist displaying his technique
to some of his admirers, "how exceed
ingly light is my touch."
“I don’t have to observe.” muttered
a saddened citizen on the edge of the
group. “I know by experience.”—Rich- j
mond Times-Dispatch. • |
Not Much Difference.
Brown—Now, my wife always con
sults me about everything she buys for
berself—dresses, bats, shoes, gloves—
everything. Robinson—So does mine—
that is, she always asks me for the
money. Comes to the same thing In
the end. _
Rather Rough.
“Here’s hard luck.”
“What’s that?”
"Flubdub’s wife wants him to pay
the Income tax on the alimony he gives
her.”—Louisville Courier-Journal.

Juat Lika a Man.
Mr. Baggie—Confound that tailor:
These trousers are a mile too long
Mrs. Baggie—How much shall I turn
them up? Mr. Baggie—About half an
Inch.—Loudon Answers.
Of Course N6t.

the world was a man?'
