THE STAHPEDER
An Alaskan stampeder is something
very much like a youthful dog that
follows a ball at the end of a string
held in the hands of a boy, says the
Nome Nugget. He only just wants the
ghost of an excuse to run from one end
of the territory to the other. One da>
there is a strike iu the Third division
and he gets there in a gallop, only to
start on the back track when some
thing turns up at the place he left.
Any man who l>oa>ts nowadays that he
passes over a place where a strike was
made afterwards proves himself a che
chaco, for a real sourdough has passed
over so many places that if there is a
square mileof territory left that he has
not visited it must he blamed tar away
and out of the way. Packing grub and
blankets on a bacK is the most health
ful and pleasant of occupations. Living
on beans and bacon for a month or two
straight Is well calculated to satisfy
the most Lucullian, or whatever they
call it, taste. The delight of getting up
early in the morning and opening the
door by sticking your bead out of a
silvery frosted blanket might inspire
poetry in the most prosaic of bosoms.
Lighting a tire of willows without
freezing one's hands tends to impart a
perfect knowledge of the law of self
preservation and making flap jacks
•without burning the bottom of the pan
is an act which comes only with great
practice. The joys of the beautiful
open air life of the stampeder can only
be expressed. They cannot be printed
•without beiug baled up for sending
obscene literature through the mails.

The American trainman
counts his time in seconds.
Foreign railroad men carry no
such watch as the HOWARD.
Official inspection of railroad
watches exists in no other country.
HOWARD Railroad Watches (lever
setting) are officially certified and adopted
by the time inspectors of one hundred and
forty of the leading railroads of America.
Better than that, their daily performance
is finer, more accurate than the most exact
|l ing railroad requirements,
il. The balance-wheel of the HOWARD
'il* Watch is made of special hard-tempered
steel—will not knock out of true with the
jar and vibration of railroad service.
Every HOWARD is made and ad
justed as a fine watch. Cased and timed
in its own case by the HOWARD watch
makers.
The price of the HOWARD is fixed
—railroad models $50 to $140—and a
printed price-ticket attached. f
We carry this distinctive watch and
would like to show it to you. '
