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.

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 tanta Con/ttilulion.

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," said he, pleadingly; “make me also the 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. “What's the reason you didn’t speatc to Jones when he passed us just now?” “He insulted me the other day.” “What did he Bay to you?" “Hecalled mo an old ass.” “Called you an old ass ?
