From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, i it* Klondike Limited, on the furthest |lOll li railroad—the White Pass and Yu >n—was slowly climbing the short roll foot-hills over which the road reaches A mountain bench which is successfully followed across the coast range. Snow w is falling in dense masses, after ape . niiai Alaskan fashion, shutting out with q lia i , ffectiveness the view of Mount L>ewey on ihe right and the rushing, roaring Skaguay river a half mile below on the left. The train was but two short toaciee long, and one could distinctly . n the strenuous puffing of the big t -iie ahead. It was the first cold snap of the Alas ka n venter, and the car frfcjkt, in spite of the efforts of the 1 united* combination conductor-brakeman , keep the single stove red hot. In ih* ,nts narest the stove had gathered dozen p,s.sengers who found it necessary t'nr one reason or another, to pehetraie ihe Yukn interior at rt time when all were leafing it who could possibly do so.

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.

Atlin nug gets, Bonanzi nil* g ts and some from Eldorado.” 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 ly wiling fo talk ‘ shop.” and did not need to be questioned. "Sort of surprised you, didn’t it, to see a pain hoy up here in the North,” he sail, by way cf beginning. '"he tourist conf sed to a f- cling or two In that direction, and the boy continued: “It does all The tourists. They don’t *oem to think Alaska's civilized. Well, I don’t blame them. It hasn’t been very long. Rut you must admit that a country is civilized that can support a railroad, electric lights, telegraph and train-boy. 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.” “In the spring there are lots of tourists "'ASK It GROCER FOR THE DELICIOUS GELATINE. //i \) t? Leutorrhoca is woman’s worst enemy.

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 betvey, as white os the ship he fought at 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.

I am about to take up a collection, friends, to pay me to stay rMit here in this car and tell you all about It.

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.

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. Hns Thirteen Hook*.

Sunday morning a lady in heavy block attire, carrying an umbrella, n fan. 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 patience. handed her back th** change. Meanwhile the car waited. “You should have come for my fare earlier,” she re monstrated m ld!y She got off t lost, on-1 ihe car went forward and stopped at the next crossing to lake on another pas senger. Just then the lady in black begaji to make violent gestures from the distant crosswalk. What’s the matter with her now?" asked u youth on the r*ar plat form. “Kh klng about her change,” growl- Ffi the conductor. "Ring the bell and go on." returned the first speaker. "She has a right to what is due hi r.“ exclaimed a young woman with spirit. All was sileqt in the car as the black figure came trot ting through the mud as rapidly ns her long skirts, prayer book, fan, and um brella would let her. “fiee,” she said, cotchlng hot breath as she came within speaking distance, her hand still holding the change the conductor had given her. “Fee here! you have given me 100 much!” This reminds me of an Incident which I witnessed some years ago in tho Old Colony station. There was t that time a very stuffy an i ill-mannered ticket sed er at the window. One day he sold a ticket to a suburban imsflt-nger, who paid for it with t bill and gathered up his change and passed on a few steps before be counted It. Then he came back and cn Med across the line of people who were buying tickets: “fUe here, you hove made a mistake In giving me change." The ticket seller burst out upon him abusive ly. "Don't you see that notice over the window?" be shouted ” 'Fount your change before you leave the window.’ I can't correct your change now!” “Very well.” said the suburban man; ‘ you gave me Just three dollars too much change for that ten-dollar bill, but never mind- I won't trouble you!” He tucked the money Info his vest pocket find walked way; and as there whs a considerable crowd, and the ticket seller could not climn through his window, the intn was out of sigh# in n moment. Meantime the ticket seller was shouting: “f'ome back! Stop that man!” and growing very red in the f< e. all to no evali. The suburban man kept the extra three dollars for several days, and then brought it back, taking the occasion to give the surly ticket mans t lecture which probably he never forgot. fl FRIEND TO THE SICK.
