It took two_ Wa-rnors ten minutes to seat me and tie m-y legs under his belly, and he was then led straight out l on the buh-covered plain, yelled at until almost frightened to death, then sud- , denly set loose.. As he bounded away] I heard the yells of mounted warriors 3; behind, with cheers from the squawsl and boys, and the race had begun. I` was an old rider and had seen some pretty hard mounts in my day, but that pony capped the climax- Even while -` running at-top speed he tried every trick .' p to sha_ke meloose. and but for -being I tied I could not have kept my place ` ve minutes, What I feared was that i he would make `a circle and return, but l he hadbeen so frightened that he was i I glad to cut loose from camp, and noth- l I ing on legs could have overhauled "him. The Indians hung to us for a couple of 1 miles, probably hoping to see the animal 5 1 turn or stop, but after that I heard no :4 more of them. The rst ten miles was ' ` down a long and narrow valley; the next ` `ve was across broken ground leading to 3 ` the foothills. It was only after we got among the rou.gh hills that the pony :1 slackened up. and by reaching forward . and cuing hishead with my hand I `j guided him fairly well.

Among the ; many routes that have been suggested E. g for reaching the gold elds, the. follow 3 ing are the most important: (1) Via 3 the Yukon river, up from the mouth; :(2) Via Dyea and the Chilcoot and r =White-pass, and (3) via Wrangel, the E `Stickeen River and Telegraph Creek. E `The journey by the Yukon islong and t tedious, although for traders, having f heavy supplies to take in, it is probably 3 `the easiest summer way. From `Van- : couver to St. Michael s, at the mouth "of the Yukon River, is about 2000 - ` miles. This can be accomplished by : irst-class steamers in about ten days. : a Cargo and passengers, during the open ' I season, are transferred at St. Michael's I to the river steamers and thence up the flriver toiDawson City, a distance of l l 167 9 miles. They can be transpdrted _ in about 18 days. Goods go in bond through Alaska, and if purchased in i 5Britis_h territory are admitted into Dawson and the Klondike free of duty. The second route is via Dyea and Skagway Bay. FromVancouver, ret- .iclass steamers run to Dyea, where I `goods and passengers are transferred `iover the Chilcoot or White Pass to : Lakes Linderman, Bennett and Tagish, 1 Pl 3 - `r I i I -Yukon Rivers to Dawson. Portages '; have to be made at the White Horse 3 `and Five Fingers Rapids, when the _' water is low. The distance from Van- [ couver to Dawson City by this route is *.!about 1514. miles. The third, and i 9 what many people consider the best ; `route for summer or winter travel, is I that by the Stickeen River and Tele ; `graph Creek. The journey is from ` 4 Vancouver by steamer to Wrangel, at 1 the mouth of the Stickeen River, up ` i which the steamers run to Glenora or y . Telegraph Creek, 12_miles above Glen- iora, according to the depth of water i :' in the river; thence by trail to Teslin Lake, 150 miles,- through a country 3 where forage for pack animals is plenti- iful and the grade moderately easy. `Down Teslin Lake, the .Hootalinqua 0 and Lewis Rivers, to the Yukon at ,Fert Selkirk, can be done by boat to f Dawson City. A portage may have to `be made at the Five Fingers Rapids. { Distance from Vancouver to Dawson l_ by this route, 1602 miles. This is an lull, British route, for, though Wrangel `is in `United States territory, British vessels have the full right to navigate the Stickeen River, consequently no diiculties with the United States cus- ` toms can arise. V The additional distance (about 100 miles) is counterbalanced by g the favorablecharacter of the trail and `feed on route for animals, as well as V the easier navigation of the Hootalin- I. qua andILewis iRivers, which are the ilargest tributaries of the Yukon. and Ebeoause it avoids the White Horse `Rapids, with its expensive and tedious Iportage.--Montreal Star. - i i- med 35 I1iu.s?oiithsast_of, City, about 1880 . lg mile: from st, Michael s, and, 16.00 thence down the Hootalinqua, Lewis ~ Poisoning trom Canned Goods.

The Captainmis leaving, and had asked the widower for his photo. He had R. O. Stokes make him a dozen cabinets, nished` in the Klan- dyke tint. He gave one of the photos `too young lady, with instructions to give it quietly to. the Captain. The Captain placed the photo on a shelf be- neath her Bible. When she took the Bible from the shelf to select a text and give a discourse,_ the photo went with the Bible and exhibited the inter- esting features of the widower to the congregation while the text was being `read. The widower saw the amusing side of the situation and allowed his laughter to roll out freely. The con- gregation did likewise. The captain whispered a hurried enquiry to a com- panion, and when informed was obliged to ' thrust her discomtureto one side- by turning _the. servicepinto a prayer meeting.--Free Press. V V The strength of "social conventions is a force to be reckoned with among the working classes. It may seem that below the standing of folk gentle by birth and breeding there are no social standards or social barriers of serious strength. I begin to suspect that dis-' tinctions are as clearly made on one side of that line as the other.-From The Wor-kers-A Hotel` Porter, by Walter A. Wycko',' in the October Scribner's. Caste Among the Working Classes. The want at time which is at one s own command is the commonest objec- tion urged against domestic `service as accounting for the ready choice of hard- er work with far less of creature com- fort, but with denite limits and entire disposing of the rest of one s day. Stronger than this, I fancy, as an ob- jection, is a social disability which attaches to BBPVICB, and under the sway of which a housemaid has not the pro- spect of so good a marriage, socially" considered, as a factory girl, who earns sscanty living, but is suhjectito no one s commands outside of the factory gates.
