EDITORIAL PAGE
There a a ni) storious iufluenco
or force in thU life, called coinci
dence, which sometimes performs
struugo capers. Shakespeare tells us
tli a; a destiny shaped our onds,
ro-igh hew them as wo will. What
ever It is that c.tUSes individuals to
tuovo along certain liues, instead of
S0...0 other liue-t which to all ap
pearances seem better mapped, cer
tain It is that the invisible impulse
acts upon oeasts as well as man.
1 p in too lower Yukon there Is a
horse which seems to have been se
lected by the fates to manifest the
wordings of this fjorce. Old "San
dy", known to all the miners from
Cat cross to Teslin, was first taken
to Carcross in 1903 by "Mlssou"
Sihbits. There he was put into the
mail service and showed a fine mot
tle iu getting over tho trail. He
was made a pack horse and climbed
mountains and went through the un
derbrush and forded streams in the
faithful discharge of duty. At the
close of the season he was taken to
Two years later, a mining man
bound for the north, saw Saudy in
a horse market in Seattle and pur
chased him, bringing htm again to
the pnckl ig scenes of his earlier
days, ana again the horse took up
his duties where he had laid them
down. When tho season was over
Sandy was takeu to Prince Rup
ert and from there to Vancouver,
where, strango to relate, ho was
again purchased and again taken to
Tho.igh several rears had passed,
when Sandy arrived in tho northern
city he manifested e--ery evidence of ;

Sandy aas recently t-een put on
tho trail from Atlin to tho new Tes

doing his duty, though ho is ap

his declining years. lie still holds
his head high, though his eyes are

W dangerous Is health. Mothers yOi
tell their children to ahuu the night

lung*, or somowhero lu their sys
tem, and ull kinds of disasters eu
l)r. Edward K. Allen, professor of
juatomy at the iloaton university
says that night air, espoclully lu clt
loa, is better than any klud of air.
In tho country thoro Is very little
difference, it is all good and whole
some If breathed ouuido. At ulght
tnero is less dust stirred up, and it
is the dust that serves as a vehicle
to transit disease germs. Neither
uUht air nor day air has anything
to do with it. Live outside as much
as possible and quit talking of your
symptoms, says the Doctor, and
lioilth will reward you.
MEANING OF "POTLUCK."
On* Plunjo of tho Ladlt, and Take
What You Got.
The real origin of tho word "pot
luck" is unknown to most of the peo
ple who use It In Limoges, France
however, one runs Into potluck Itself
In n certain corner of that quaint city
of Jostling roofs there Is still segregat
ed. much as if in a ghetto, a Saracen
population, probably a remnant of the
wave of Saracens that swept over Eu
rope hundreds of years ago. Here they
live In their crooked, narrow streets,
following old customs handed down
from generation to generation. There
lire many butcher shops In the quarter,
and outside of each steams a great pot
of soup over a glowing brazier. In
each pot stands a ladle as ancient as
the pot.
When a customer comes with a penny,
In goes the ladle and comes up full of
savory broth and chunks of meat, odds
and ends that the butcher has bad left
over. And what comes up the cus
tomer has to take. One can imagine
bow anxiously the hungry urchin or
the mother of seven must eyo tho In
exorable ladle and how a pretty girl
might get another draw from the
butcher's boy.
At any rate, "to take potluck" menns
to take what you get and say nothing,
whether the pot Is In Limoges or in
the flat of the man who eagerly Invites
a friend of bis youth to dinner.? New
Tork Sun.
Give* Warning of a Storm.
In the bay of Biscay frequently dur
ing the autumn and winter In calm
weather a heavy sea gets up and rolls
In on the coast four and twenty
hours before the gale which causes It
arrive* and of which it Is the prelude
In this case the wave action, generated
on the other side of the Atlantic by tho
wind, travel* at a much greater rato
than that of the body of disturbed air
and thus gives warning of the coming
