Locke, better known ns Nasby of tho
Toledo Blade, spins so many tough
yarns that he is not much quoted, but
his explanation of his conversion to total
abstinence will bo of interest to those
who liavo fooled with John Barleycorn
to any extent. About eighteen months
ago Locke suddenly quit drinking. Ho
had been a regular soakor for thirty
years. For a long time ho waß able to
go to bod drunk evory night and yet do
a reasonable amount of work every day.
At last ho came to a point where appli
cation to liis duties was beyond his
power. Ho would lio abed until 11
o’clock every day and contemplate his
boots half an hour at a time before
he could summon courage enough to
pull them on. Then ho would take four
or five whiskies and be unable to eat
any breakfast, except a couple of soft
boiled eggs. One day his business man
ager demanded two or three serial
stories, some Nasby letters and a lot of
other stuff to brighten up tho paper.
Locke promised to have tho matter
ready at aft appointed time, but lie found
that he could not settle down to work,
and when the time came ho had not
prepared a lino of copy. In his mortifi
cation he realized that ho was a misera
ble creature, and formed a resolution
never to touch another drop of alcohol.
Obtaining three davs’ leave of absence
he went down to the Toledo wharves
and spent his time walking about bare
headed with iiis faoo to tho breeze. On
the morning of tho second day lie was
alile to eat a small piece of steak for
breakfast, a thing ho had not done in
twenty years. At night he ate a hearty
meal. In three dayH coffee tasted good
and solid food had a delicious flavor.
He felt so much better that lie renewed
his determination to stick to a temper
ance schedule, no Hays that ho occa
sionally feels tempted to take a drink,
but ho lights it off, as ho knows that if
ho took one he would take forty. — At

( atmislitH'k Ducks lligli.
“What makes oanvasback ducks so
high?” said a game dealer in Fulton
Market, Now York. “Because they are
scarce, and one reason why they are
scarce in New York is that there is a big
demaud for them abroad this seuson, and
dealers across the water are paying $0 a
pair for them. lam told by a shipper
on Chesapeake Ray that at least seven
eighths of all tho eanvasbacks taken on
the feeding grounds this season liavo
been sent direct to England. You may
groan now because you have to put out
a nice tittle three-dollar bill for a bite of
canvasbaek for yourself and your best
girl, but let me tell yon that if our fa
vorite game increases as much in favor
with tite British good livers next year
as it has (luring this year, you won’t be
able to get away from canvasbaek for
two for less than a nice little V, and
you hear what I Hay. Shippers are
not likely to let us have for a couple of
dollars or so what they can got three
times as much for somewhere else. As
it is, we are not getting the prime ducks
this season. I had an order for some
ducks, the best to t>e had, last week, and
I had to charge $3.25 a pair for them to
get myself anywhere near right out of
the bargain, and the maa I bought them
of told me he could double his money
on them by letting them go to tho agent
of an English dealer for shipment
abroad, but ho let mo have ’em as a
favor.”

A COOK’S REAL ROMANCE.
Tle t'oarliiiinn Given Her i IjOtlcry Ticket
lliut Whin* but Full* to Gutii Her llciirt.
In one of the finest private houses of
the Champs-Elvsees, Leontine, the
cook, and Thomas, the coachman, hud
long been flirting with each other.
Whenever it was possible for him to do
so, Thomas wont to tho races and lie
generally manages to have a little some
thing on tho several events of an after
noon. Sometimes lie used to get, back
home rather late, and if it had not been
for the cook he would often liavo gono
hungry. On these occasions the follow
invariably gavo to Leontine a five-franc
piece and nomotimes more titan that.
One evening luHt autumn “Monsieur
le Cocher” entered tho kitchon very
late and completely cleaned out. Ho
nte the dinner which Leontine had care
fully kept for him; then lio took out bis
pookotbook and with the remark, “I’ll
have to pay yon in these scraps to-day,”
handed her three tickets of the Arts
Deooratlfe. Time passed on, and
Thomas no longer flirted with la c,uinl
nicre r some other lair one having out
lasted her in the ra e. The other after
noon Leontine while out marketing
bought an official list of tho drawing,
and when she arrived home discovered
to her great joy that she was the owner
of n ticket which called for 100,000
francs 1 The feelings of poor Thomas
when ho heard the news may bo easily
imagined, but ho lost no timo in bownil
ing his bad luck. At a flower store in
the Faubourg Haint Ilonoro ho bought a
lovely bouquet for seven francs; then
ho wrote an ardent billet deux, and hid
ing it among the flowers, left the pack
age where ho supposed tho cook would
find it. The femme de chammhrt' was
the first to enter tho office, and suppos
ing the bouquet was intended for
madarno, carried it at onoo to tho Mar
qniso. That good lady turned tho love
letter over to her husband and threw
tho flowers at the poor girl’s head. The
Marquis recognized the handwriting and
sent for tho coachman, who confessed all.
In tho meantime tho cook hail got
herself np tidily, and accompanied by a
fine-looking employee of the American
grocery at the corner of the Hue Lin
coln, was on her wav to look after her
fortune. The money in her possession,
she returned to the mansion in the
Champs-Elysees, gavo the regular eight
days’ notice and went back to the
kitchen, whither she was followed by
ttie coachman.
“Mademoiselle, caoulez-moi done,"

Tins Forests or Alaska.
Alaska forests contain onongh timber
to supply tho world. The forests of
pine, sprnoe, fir and hemlock cover
every island of the archipelago and a
goodly portion of the mainland. The
trees are straight and tall and grow
close together. The only saw-mill at
present in operation is at Douglas'
Island, and so far there has not been a
cord of timber cut for shipment. The
trees, as a rule, do not have large
dimensions and will not always cut up
Into good-sized hoards. For fuel, how
ever, tho wood is excellent and much of
it is available for building purposes.
There is little deoorative wood, although
tho yellow pine is richly colored aud
might bo used to advantage in interior
work. Alaska spruce is an excellent
variety and often measures five feet in
diameter. It is considered the best
spruce in the world, and tho snpply is
very abundant. In tho interior of tho
country timber is of mnch heavier
growth than near the coast aud on the
islands. Regarding the hemlock, there
is a Jarge supply and the bark compares
favorably with that of tho Eastern trees,
used in tanning establishments. None
have yet attempted to compute the
valno of the Alaska forests. It may
ini they will not tie necessary for years
to come, but whenever wood grows
scaroe elsewhere, or whenever civiliza
tion fastens itself upon Alaska, the
tirnlier of the old region will lx> found
ready at hand and existing in rich pro
fusion. Calculating only approximately
the value of our possessions to-day, the
forests must lie considered. Practically
inexhaustahle, they add most materially
to the wealth of the Territory.
