WOMAN IN THE KLONDIKE.
. .. . — —
Just at dark \ve’made a landing
ctL the banks of the Yukon, directly
ii^ front Of the little town of Daw*
s<iu* and, pitching our tents in the
s$oiv, we camped for tho night un-
mjM first shelter—even of a tent
-^for ten dffys. All were so pleased
and happy that good fortune had
enabled us to escape the perils
which threatened, as well as the
danger of an ice block’in the river,
tfyftt the men proposed a celebration
of their good fortune. They were
going up town, but I told them it
w&8 not right to leave mo alone the
first night in a strange place and
that if they would remain in camp
I would pav for enough for them to
drink and have their celebration in
their tents. To this they agreed,
and one of them went to the town
and shortly returned, stating that
whisky, Canadian case goods, was
$10 a quart. I sent him back and
purchased a couple of bottles, which
the men drank without becoming
boisterous. I then went to my war
sack, and, taking out my guitar,
which I had carried over tho sum
mit, we sat on the ground around
tho little tent stove and all joined in
singing the songs of home.—Emma

Got a Big Pearl With His Oysters.
, Morgan H. Morgan, file clerk in
thv office of the clerk of the circuit
court, in company with several
friends, lunched in a restaurant at
Clark and Randolph streets, and,
among other thingB, the entire par
ty partook of fried oysters. Mor
gan picked out a large, juicy one
and was beginning to eat it with a
relish when his teeth grated on a
hard substance.
He removed tho object from his
mouth and was about to toll the
waiter that ho had not ordered the
oysters to be seasoned with gravel
when his attention was attracted
by tho reflection of the light upon
the object ho had thrown on tho ta
ble. Investigation showed that it
was a pearl of good size.
Morgan put the pearl in his pock
et and after leaving tho restaurant,
went to the offico of a lapidary in
the Champlain building, where he
was offered $14 for tho gem. He
took the money. — Chicago Inter

Sixty Dollar Overcoats For 8oldlers.
Just at present a buffalo overcoat
is a very scarce article, and yet the
humblest of Uncle Sam’s soldier
boys may have one of these highly
prized garments for the asking. All
ho has to do is to include tho item
in his requisition for supplies, and
the coat will be issued to him, al
though it will still belong to tho
government, and if he loses or de
stroys it he must pay $60 for liis
carelessness.
The coats in the possession of the
war department are relics of the
days when no man living in the
northwest was thought to be prop
erly equipped without a buffalo coat.
All of them have been worn, but

who may want them.—Minneapolis

He Walked.
An insurance officer who claims
ta be the only man in his business
who ever talked business to J. Pier-
S ont Morgan remarked the other
ay: “I could more easily see the
hundred hardest men in San Fran
cisco than do it again. Never mind
h<Jw I did it. I walked in on Mor
gan at the office one day and stated
my business.
“ ‘How did you get in here ? said

of Hayfield, Minn. “For three
years I was troubled with dyspep

on my stomach. Many times I
•would be unable to retain a mor

fined to nay bed. Doctors said I
could, not live. I read one of your

He Preferred a Bqttle of “Whuskey”
to. "Shampeen.”
When Sir Evelyn Wood had his
famous irregulars out once after the
hostile natives in Cape Colony, he
found himself in a curious fix, says
London M. A. P. He was on one
side of a ravine with his small force.
The enemy occupied the other side
in thousands, keeping well in bush
cover. To go straight across at
them might mean another Isandula,
and Sir Evelyn was too cute to be
caught in a trap of that sort.
Sir Evelyn pondered the position
for a time and then called for one
of the best bushmen among the ir
regulars. The Scotchman who re
lated tho incident was selected, and
the general asked him if he could
contrive to draw tho enemy from
cover. The end was that the hardy
irregular rode away round out of
sight under a kloof and came on up
the ravine as if he were not aware
of the presence of cither party. Dis
mounting, he started to make a fire,
as if about to camp. Soon the Zu
lus came rushing down the slopes
after him in great masses, and the
next moment shrapnel shells from
Wood’s camp were playing among
them. A large number were killed,
and tho rest cleared off for good,
much alarmed by the sharp lesson.
‘‘I galloped back under the shells,”
said the Scotchman in recalling the
incident, “an’ when I got in the
general came up an’ shook hands
wi’ mo. He gied me a bottle o’
shampeen, too, an’, fwhat was bet
ter, ho changed it when I askit him
for a bottle of whuskey!”
A Modest Request.
General Alger in his book, recent
ly published, tells of a unique re
quest that came to the war depart
ment from a young lady in Boston
during tho Spanish-American war.
He says: “Her note paper, handwrit
ing and rhetoric vouched at least
for the culture of the writer. Her
request was simple and plainly
worded. With much unfeigned ear
nestness she stated her case. The
press dispatches had announced
that the volunteer regiment of
which her brother was a member
was to leave for Cuba on a fixed
date. But the brother’s birthday
occurred two days after the date
assigned for his embarkation. A
■birthday box of cake, jellies, pies,
etc., she said, had been forwarded
to him and would not be received
if the regiment left on the date an
nounced. She naively asked that
the regiment be detained until the
sweetmeats arrived, as she was sure
it would make no difference to the
government, whereas it would be
‘oh, such a disappointment for mv
brother V ”
“Quick lunch” is one of the
commonest of city signs. The
sign does’t say “a healthy lunch
of good food”—the character of
the food apparently is not consid
ered. It’s just a quick lunch,—
eat and get away. Is it any won
der that the stomach breaks
down? Food is thrown at it, slop
py, indigestible and ^nutritious
food, very often, and the stomach
has todo the best it can. Nor
mally there should be no need for
medical assistance for the stom
ach. But the average method of
life is abnormal and while this
continues there will always be a
demand for Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery. It is the one
medicine which can be relied on
to cure diseases of the stomach
and other organs of digestion and
nutrition. It is not a cure-all. It
is a medicine designed for the
stomach, and to cure through the
stomach remote diseases which
have their cause in the derange
ment of the stomach and digest
ive and nutritive system. It cures
when all else fails.

HEAD NOISES GEASE IMMEDIATELY.
F. A. WERN1AN, OF BALTIMORE, SAYS: '
Baltimore, Md., March 30, iqor
Gentlemen: — Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you
a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion.
About five years ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost
my hearing in this ear entirely.
I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a num.
her of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that
only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would
then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever.
I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treat-
ment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and
to-day. after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored. I thank you
heartily and beg to remain Very truly yours,
