“You can I've the two for 75c,’’ said
the boy, “butt's giving them to you."
The Klcndiir gave him $5 with a look
which said, )on‘t talk about giving me
anything." a:l he read the stale news
with much iierest, for he was used to
paying much me for papers several times
as old.

“Nuggets! Niggets! ' he crifd, as he
came down till aisle. “Nugget pins, nug

He singled He tourist out at once, and
did not letov? until he had disposed of
a brass ring with the smallest possible
nugget seifind, for which he demanded
$5. The tourist was sufficient-y interested
to go forward and look over the train
hoy's stock. They managed to get across
the ice-rovered platform and into the
chi ly baggage'.car. where they sat down
on a nugh box, which was being sent
over tie : ass for some unfortunate who
had frozen to death. The boy was perfect

to say nothing of church s. schools and
saloons, and such like.”
He might have generalized for an hour,
fnr lie went on to tell about min ng and
tip relative merits of the different camps
from White Hoise to Rt. Michael. The
touiixr brought the conversation back to
the starting point by asking. "How did
you come to take u berth cn this rail
road?"
“Well, you see. I’d been making good
money on the Great Northern overland
from St. Paul to Seattle, and I saved it.
The rush to Klondike came along and I
joined tho crowd.. When 1 got to Skaguay
I saw this ‘snappy’ ejiaiue to ‘coin the
dust’ going to was4e, so 1 goes to the
’boss’ manager and ‘strikes’ for the place.
1 tells him how a road’s no road at all
till they gets a train-boy. and at last he
sees things my way and gives mo the
job.
“At first it was a ‘hard row,' for I
didn’t know the ‘ropes.’ I did not know
what to carry except news and cigars,
and with board at $7 per there was little
enough in that. On the trip back to
Skaguny one day an old miner who was
bringing out lots of ‘dust’ offered me $lO
for a drink, and not a drink could 1 get
on the train. That night I put In my
saloon. 1 give the drinks away so as to
not get under (lie tax law.’’
He opened his box with some pride and
showed an array of bottles stowed away
in the most economic manner. They had
a drink and the tourist paid his “tip.”

they worry the life out of ‘Dikers’ beg- .
ging for nuggets. They always offer to 1
buy them, of course, and the Klondiker
does not like to sell, so gives them a flake
or two. Now, nearly everybody who
comes out has a nugget for the train boy,
and 1 decided to sell my collection. Then
I bought njuggefs and had them put on j
brass pins, It pays about ten times what i
the gold is worth and the tourists are so
‘hot’ for them that 1 have trouble supply
ing the demand.”
The tourist noticed a white shirt or two
and a bundle of neckties in the chest
and asked if the boy ran a furnishing
store. He sqid, by way of explanation:
“One day coming over from Bennett we
had both cars crowded with passengers
from Eldorado and Bonanza. They wert
the richest crowd 1 have ever seen to
gether. The baggage car was filled with
their dust and three men stool guar* 1
with loaded guns. There must have bee;'
two million on hoard.
“Only one of the crowd had thought t
buy anything in Bennett, and he had onl
succeeded in getting a white shirt, col
lar and necktie. Talk about women being
jealous! You should have seen those min
ers. The one with the shirt strutted
round like h 'kid' with his first pair of
red-topped boots. You remember how ag
gravating jthat was when you were a
•kid.’
“Now, in the summer, when the weath
er is good up here, I dress pretty swell
myself, and on this particular day I was
wearing my Sunday outfit. We were
about an hour out of Bennett when one
of the richest of the ‘bunch* came to me
and said:
“ ‘Kid, T’ll give you sr>o for your shirt
and collar.*
“ ‘Make it a hundred.’ says 1, ‘and ,Tll
throw In this red tie.’ He agreed in a
minute and we went up on the tender and
‘swapped.’ The shirt wasn’t the cleanest
in the world, hut he didn't mind. Then
we went back to the car. and there were
two of them strutting around after that.
Now I always carry a shirt or two and
a bundle of ties.
"If there is a woman or two on the
train the miners take to looktng-elasses
and combs like ducks to water. If 1 was
a barber 1 could make ‘bunches of dust,*
for the men want to ‘spruce up‘ before
getting to Skuguay. Funny, isn’t it, how
men who haven’t worn a tie all winter
get particular as soon as they see a wo
man. * .
“The minors nre pretty £oo<J t**iiows,
too: that Is. most of them. 1 never put a
price on anything I sell to a lucky ‘dig-
K< “‘Give me wliat you like, sir.' says I,
‘and thank you.’ ...
“They always 'cough up more titan id
dare to ask and are proud to do It.
“There is another ‘graft - that 1 have
thought out that works well with the
tourists. Now. this road has got the
'dandies!' scenery in Iho whole world,
but there are lots of fine points which a
stranger cen t appreciate unless they are
pointed out to him. Now 1 go into the
tourist car and make my little speech
before we got into the hills.
“ 'l.tulles and gents,' says I. with my
best bow. ‘we'll * soon he rumbling along
through the White Pass Mountains. (I
think that rumbling Is good, don't you?)
Now look out this window and see Mount

Manila That mountain has positively
been growing ever since the Spaniards got
'licked.' Now look out the other window,
and half way down the hill you'll see
traces of the wagon road on which the
Shagway horrors occurred. For the nex;
four hours there is, going to be something
to see everv minute if you know just
Where to look. I am about to take up a
collection, friends, to pay me to stay

about It. Now. don't any one give more

"And with that T pass the hat. and
you’d be surprised the way those East
erners 'gave up.’ It’s just like finding
money.
“1 don't 'bunco' them, either, for there
are certainly lots of tilings to see. First,

The rigging up of cipher code is said
to be the mod simple thing in the world—
b; • those' who know nothing about i*.
Those the larger govt rnments posse
have taken years to put together, anil
some of the most competent minds have
he - n employed in their construction. No
withstanding the claims of many news*
■>apers, ther is noi a single rode book that
ully meets the requirements of newspa
per work. During the war with Spain
many of the correspondents invented wliai
is known as a blind code, und 'he rep re
sentotives of a certain metropolitan daily
which claims to have the finest code in
the business yelled their heads off trying
to call the censor's atten lon to the fact
that the other fellow was using a bi nd
code. This was because nothing could
be found in “the finest code in the busi
ness” to convey the Ideas of the corre
spondents of the sheet to th*dr office. The
chap with the home-made blind code that
cost about G cents' worth of labor to
make* knew how to get his information
through every, time.
Fooling tlic < euktor.
A Mind code is rigged up in various
v. ays, but tile tnost popular is to wir\
“Send me $250,” or, “How many worth
do you want?” which sentences, whlh
simple enough apparently, might mear

grerie Importance when the censor is wi '*
awake, as censors generally are. Bu i
ness and government codes have been ii
use as long as the sub-marine telegraph
‘the original high cost of cabling l>elng re
sponsible for their creation. The desire
for secrecy has encouraged the building
of business and official codes more thin
has the mere question of telegraphic tolls.
Tle Family (oilc.,
Th* latest thing 1n the code line is the
social one. Within the last five years
families'in society have arranged for the'r
private use. Commodore J. Pierponf Mor
gan and Mr. John W. Mackay have prob
abliy the finest codes extant. They are
usml exclusively for conveying messages
of a family nature. One of the most suc
cessful mining operators of America,
whoso wife and children spend much time
abroad, communicates long messages to
them daily by means of his private rode.
He keen* them Informed of all the latest
society gossip, and they in turn convey
to him how. when and where they are
being entertained. This particular cod*
book contains 225 pages and is the labor
of years, in which all the members of the
milhar.ire's family took part. It contains
the names of the individual membsr of all
the prominent families in society and ad
ditions and alterations are constantly
made to the work, each side notifying Ihe
other by mail # of the Improvements and
increases In groups and characters. A
similar book, though, of course, entirely
different as to the code words and their
niejir.lngs, was prepared for a railroad
and telegraph magnate recently, the print
ing being done by a down-town firm,
which received the contract in a rounda
bout way. The printer was paid by the
general passenger agent of one of the
utiiroads the owner of the code controls,
and he did not learn whom the book was
really for until some weeks after It was
delivered and the types dis<rlblifed.
Danger In I.onliiu Code*.
Th° creation of a family code is natur
ally dangerous where a copy of it is liable
(to fall into the hands of .an outsider who
may have access to the messages that
pass between the members of the house
hold. The social code being used for land
telegraphing, as wefl us submarine, make'*
it the more valuable o a dihonest em
ploye.
A holer in the employ of a man int
csled in oil recently dropped a piece of
paper in his employer’s room. The latter
picked it tip. and was astonished to see
that the paper contained abstracts from
Ipo family code book, which was sup
prsod to be locked up in a private safe.
The changing of a code book is not diffi
cult. however, it being possible to move
the characters up or down as desired so
that they represent new mean ngs. In
the case off the butler it was found that
he viis not dishonest, hut had copied por
tions of the book otit of curiosity to know
what the family was do'ng.

Sunday morning a lady in heavy

and a prayer hook, took an electric car
at the station and sat down in seat
next the rear floor. When the car reached
the point of her destination the conductor
bad just gone forwent to take up th*
fares. She signaled him to stop, and held
up u bill to pay him. The conductor took
the money, and. with h suspicion o i Im

Meanwhile the car waited. “You should

the next crossing to lake on another pas

to make violent gestures from the distant
