I was in the Gol- den Palace the other night, and the Golden Palace is by no means what its name implies, when Swiftwater Bill, a young man who hails from Spokane, “711511., came in and announced with a whoop that he was going to “bust the bank.” GABIBLING IN DAWSON. Swiftwater Bill ownssome of the richâ€" est claims on Eldorado Creek, and when he breaks loose thedust is sure to fly. Bill took a seat at the faro table, and in just one hour he had lost $7,500 in gold nuggets. "Things don't seem to be coming my way to-nlght," he re- Inarke-‘l as he rose from his scat and stretched himself. "Let the house have a. drink at my expense." There was a rush for the bar. and waiters carried drinks to the various tables where games were in progress. That round cost Bill 8112. Then he lighted a dollar and a half cigar and strolled out. The gambling saloons, in external ap- pearance, are very much like all the other buildings in Dawson, except that they are larger, logs licwn on three sides and solidly (dunked with heavy moss. The roofs are male of poles, on which a layer of moss fully ten inches thick is laid, and then a layer of dirt a bout twelve illOllES dccp serves to keep out the cold. Ilcztvy enibaiiltincnts of earth piled up against the huts on the outside serve. as. additional protection against the chilling constructed buildings are inadequate against the severe cold weather.

He leaves his boots behind the bar, dons his patent leathers and sails in on a wild career of terpsichorean- dis- sipation. “Pinkey” has been known to buy $120 worth of dances in three successive nights. Most of the men wore their ordinary working clothes, with top boots or heavy, spike bottom shoes. Their heads were covered by broad brimmed hats, which they never removed. and in their mouths were cigar butts, which seemed equally stationary. Fist fights form a mild sort of diâ€" version at these affairs, usually brought about by a dispute over who shall dance with the women. Occasion- ally the evening's festivities willcon- Oiude with a shooting affray, and along toward morning, when the corn juice has commenced to get in its fine work. a popular form of amusement is shootâ€" ing out the lights. But as a rule fistiâ€" cuffs find the greatest favor. With all this talk about drinking and gambling saloons and dance halls, I dare say you are wondering if the in- habitants of Daivson City ever eat. I assure you they do, but it is quite as expensive 3. luxury as are the other forms of dissipation. Eating here is really adissipation. If you don't beâ€" lieve it, I’ll tell you what my dinner consisted of tO-day. I had sour dough bread, with molasses instead of butter, fried salt pork, stewed apples, oatmeal mush and tea. For supper I had tea. oatmeal mush. stewed apples and sour dough bread, with molasses. For breakfast I shall have graham panâ€" cakes, fried oatmeal mush and coffee. DOGS BY THE HUNDREDS.

Headaches and fickle Appetite the Symptoms of Early Decay. Fro mthe Sun. Orangeville, Out. Some months ago Maggie, the fit- teen-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Sweeney. of John street, of this town, began to fail both in health and spirits. Her face was almost as white as chalk, her appetite very fickle, and her limbs began to swell. Notwithstanding her growing weakness she persisted in attending School until one day her teacher advised her to go home. and not to return until she felt better. At the same time the teacher. who knew the value of Dr. \Yilliams’ I’ink Pills in such cases, advised her to take them. The advice was followed, and Mrs. Sweeney told our reporter that almost from the outset there was an imtu‘ove- ment in her daughter’s condition. Her appetite became better, the coloI‘. re- turned to her face, and the severe headaches that had made her so miser- able vanished, and she is now feeling better than she has done for many months. It is quite evident that this young maiden was suffering from a lack Of blood. as do so many young girls who are just at. a critical point in life and it isquite as apparent that there is no other remedy the equal of Dr. \Vilâ€" liams’ Pin-k Pills in such case‘s. They enrich the blood, stimulate the nerves and ‘build up the entire system, and mothers willactprudently if they inâ€" sist upon their daughters taking an occasional box. We know from ex- perience that Dr. \Villiems’ Pink Pills have done great good in Orangeville and vicinity, and there is scarcely a day that our reporter does not cometi-n contact with some one who has a good word to say for this wonderful medi- cine. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure by going to the root of the, disease. They renew and build up the blood. and strengthen the nerves, thus driving disease from the system. Avoid imi- tation by insisting that every box you purchase is enclosed in a wrapping bearing the full trade mark, “Dr. \Villiams' Pink Pills for Pale People." FULLNESS OF COUNTRY LIFE. In the country every morning of the year brings with it a new aspect of springing or fading nature, a new duty to be fulfilled upon earth‘. and a. new promise of warning in heaven. No day is without its innocent hOpe. its spe- cial prudence. its kindly gift, and its sublime danger. and in every process of wise husbandry, and. every effort of contending 0r remedial courage. The wholesome passions, pride and bodily power of the laborer are excited and exerted in happiest unison. The comâ€" panionship of domestic, the care of serâ€" viceable animals, soften and enlarge his life with lowly charities. and discip- line him in familiar wisdoms and un- boastful fortitudes; while the divine law of seedtime. which cannot be re- called, harvest, which cannot be has- tened, and winter, in which no man can work, compel the impatience and coveting of his heart into labor too submissive to be anxious and rest too sweet to be wantonâ€"John Ruskin.

THE DEPAR'I‘MICNT STORE. There is no better way to offset the encroachment of the great departâ€" ment store than to employ its own methods wherever and whenever prac- ticablc.
