A VALUABLE ADVERTISEMENT.
The special souvenir edition Just
Issued by the Dawson Dally News
is without doubt the most attractive
and reliable symposium ever gotten
up to exploit Yukon. It comprises
76 pages, each of absorbing interest.
The edition contains scores of spit)
did half tone illustrations, showing
Yukon scenes of every character. The
Industrial side of Yukon in particular
receives attention. The articles are
chiefly such as will appeal to the
prospective investor, prospector or
miuer, but there also is much to In
terest those who look to the physical
beauties of the realm.
The articles on miuing and kindred
topics especially are able. .Many of
the articles, prepared by the govern
ment officials, were endorsed before
going to the printer by Governor
Henderson.
The special edition is handsomely
printed in magazine form and will be
of great benefit In advertising the Yu
kon. The Dawson News deserves
gr?-at credit for its enterprise in print
lug this edltiou.
TWO I ^.D MEN.
Two m<-n uru dead in our little
town, and one with money was loude
down; and ouo watt of the good long
green ? a bumble cog in the Uig Mach
ine. Of what avail are the rich man'
rocks? They'll nail him down in a
cofctly box; and gorgeous garlands
the heirs will bring, and the priest
will preach and the choir will sing,
aud prancing horses wUl haul the
hearse ? the price will come from the
dead man's purse. Hut not a mouriu
is really sad; the eyes may weep
when the heart is glad. The dead
man never bad in his soul another
wish than to swell his roll; he lived
to gather the shining bones; he pinch
ed a dime till you heard its groan*.
The other man who crossed the line
and whom we'll plant in a box of pin
was ever ready to help or cheer when
old Miss Fortune was camping near;
to help the troubled or soothe their
pains he'd go right down in his old
blue Jean*; "to help a neighbor's a
a pleasure, sure" ? and that was the
logic that kept him poor. He's dead
and gone, and the people grieve;
and they shed real tears ? not the
make-believe! ? Walt Mason.
Do what thy manhood bids thee do;
From none but self expect applaurt
He noblest live* and tiohleit dlef
Who muk?? and ke.'ps his self
made laws. ? TV Kasldah.
We then that are strong ought to
bear the infirmities of the weak, and
Hot to please ourselves. ? Romans,

How statuellka 1 see thee stand

Thorp Is ii certain young New York
broker whose recent sad experience In
endeavoring to pull the wool over his
wife's eyes has led him to declare
"Never a^aln."
Now. It Is the broker's custom to
take a 5:30 suburban train, thus en
abling him to reach his home In West
chester In ample time for the early
dinner that both he and his wife like.
The other day he fell. Meeting an
old college mate, he yielded to the lnt

i to telegraph the wife, which he did in
these terms:
Unavoidably detained. Mimed tho 6:30.
Homo Inter.
When hubby tlnally <lkl show up, ho
observed an expression on the counte
nance of bis spouse that argued the
failure of bis little lib.
"What's the trouble, dear?" he ask
ed, with au affected nonchalance.
Without a word the wife handed
him the telegraph slip, Indicating with
her forefinger the words:
"Received at 4:45."? Llpplncott'n.
Christening tho Twins.
In an English village a miner's wife
presented him with twins. At the
usual time the twins had to be chris
tened, and George, his wife and his
friends proceeded to the church to tlx
the names of the children. The minis
ter asked the father the names of the
twins, and he quite proudly replied:
"Steak and Kidney, nor!"
"Come, come!" replied the minster.
"These are odd names for your chil
dren!"
"What d'ye mean, (ieordle?" cried
his wife. "It's Kate and Sidney."
"Aye, It is, sor. An thout It was llko
-mmmlt to eat!" shouted George
promptly.
Aim High,
To the formation of a good charac
ter It Is of the highest importance that
you have a commandim; object in
view and that your aim Ih life be ele
vated. Set your standard high, and
though you may not reach It you can
hardly fall to rise higher than If you
timed at some Inferior excellence.?

Knew Who Used It.
Charles H. Hoyt, Now England's
great playwright, once visited a small
town iu Pennsylvania where there Is
a hotel they say George Washington,
the Father of His Country, used to
stop at when he passed through. In It
they have n room he Is said to have oc
cupied at times.
Iloyt came through there once with
one of his attractions. He arrived at
the hotel after all the members of tho
company had been assigned rooms.
One of the company was glvon tho
Washington room, and Hoyt rccelvod
a poor room on tho top floor, the pro
prietor not knowing who he was.
When he came downstairs later tho
gentleman who had got the good room
said, "Mr. Hoyt, they have glvon nie
the room that they used to give George
Washington when he came here."
"Well," said Hoyt, "the one they
have given me must bo the ono they
gave Benedict Arnold when he came."
