Hence the sight of gold either mint
ed or mounted at once directs ones
rniud to tlie land of Uie midnight sun
What more appropriate theu, than
piece of uugget jewe.cry, either as
a frame for the beautiful mastodon
ivory, stained b> the couutiess years
it has endured, or nuggets joined in
chain work by a skilled artisan. A
brooch or solitary nugget of curious
uatural shape is a souvenir which
tells the story of the mad rush to
the Klondike.
The fact that a purchase of nugget
jewelery is in reality &n investment
in an article that cannot depreciate
seems to be dawning upon the vis
itors to the Northland and the sales
are rapidly increasing in this line
of goods.
H. D. Kirmse has made a study of
the art of nugget jewelery mounting,
and has Uie finest display of the
"yellow metal"' ever gathered to
gether in one salesroom.

EIGHTH AVE. ANP MAIN ST.
Issary from the ?court of His Royal |
Marine Highness Neptuns. climbed
over the bow and la a loud voice de j
uianded the name of the ship and thf><
of her captain. Having received the
information from a spokesman of the
awestruck crew, he strode haughtily
to the captain's headquarters. He was
of lofty stature, dignified mien, long,
flowing hair and beard, a cable tow
thrice around his waist, and live fish
depending therefrom, and property im?
pressed with the Importance of his
mission. He requested of the cap
tain the names of all the tenderfooted
uninitiated, uneciuatored person? on
board and proclaimed in the name of
his chief that unless the same accept
ed the order of baptism prepared few
similar occasions, they would be fol
lowed by perpetual ma] de mer and
all the maladies peculiar to the sea.
The captain responded by informing
the emissary that as far as lay in
his power the mandate of his hlgh
n?ss should be obeyed, and appoint
ed the following day at 2:30 p. m.
for the execution of the baptismal
rites, at which, arter accepting and
quaffing a mug of foamy Pilsner he
quietly withdrew and disappeared with
in the depths of the sea.
Saturday, the 11th day of December
A. D. 1909. opened auspiciously. The
sunlit sky. broad expanse of slightly
ruffled Java sea. and smoothly glid
ing ship united to give keen delight
to the senses of sight and feeling It
was all dolee far niente and tropical
At the appointed hour the captain an
officers and invited guests took posi
tions on a raised platform in the waist
of the ship in the presence of a ter
raced, expectant throng occupying
every available point of vantage, even
to clinging in the rigging. Soon was
heard in the distance sounds like the
booming of cannon, aud shortly alter,
the ship band, dressed in nondescript
fantastic costume, playing a lively
march, escorted Neptune in his con
ventional garb of crown, flowing beard
and trident, accompanied by his suite.
The grand secretary to H. R. H. was
master of ceremonies, who, advancing
to the star-spangled banner draped
desk, opened me proceedings by read
ing from an immense volume, tthe
leaves of which were turned by his
attendant vassals) an address of con
gratulation to the captain, and intro
"duction oi his royal chieftan, the Sea
god, after which he read the names
of those elegible for initiation. First
came the ladies wlio were treated
with a mild sprinkling of a whitish
perfumed liquid drawn by an atomize
from an exaggerated nursing bottle.
Then the men, without distinction,
were treated, as you might say in the
vulgar parlance of the day, to a "ttle
"rough house." The barber with his
wonderful paraphernalia lathered his
victims good and plenty fore and aft,
and with a razor of not diminutive
proportions scraped the soapy depos
it from the anatomy of the struggling
tenderfoot. After the operation of
tonsorial application, the subject of
baptismal rites was unceremoniously
thrown Into an adjacent tank of sea
water aud through the ministrations
of two disreputable looking Fijis thor
oughly soused. Aud so the fun went
on hilariously. A po^se of police
painted aud adorned with feathers
lik'1 the wild men of Borneo did val
iant service in scouring the multitude
for fresh material to be offered on
Neptune's altar. Away up in the top
mast a line of hoee had been quietly
carried and from a spreading nozxle
zle the unsuspecting onlookers below
received an Involuntary shower. Af
ter the completion of the ceremon
ies, Neptune withdrew to his await
ing dolphin-drawn sea chariot, and
faded away in the blue sea. leaving
behind a handsome certificate signed
in his Greek name of Poisldon. stat
ing that the holder had complied with
<<quat?rial requirements.
Never before was like ceremony
performed in the presence of so distin
guished a gathering, representing all
vocations, professions and easy-street
non-producing consumers.
