RAILWAY COMMISSION
llOOSTS SKAGWAY CIJMATK
The report of the Alaska Rail
road Commission gives some inter
esting comparative statistics on the
climate of Alaska, and of course,
mentions the superiority of the
Skagway brand to that of any part
of the Territory as will be seen
from tha following extract.
The precipitation of Southeastern
Alaska varies from about 147 inch
es at Ketchikan to less than 30
Inches at Skagway. While there is
but little snow near sea level, there
Is a heavy fall in the mountains. A
White Pass the winter snow f:>ll is
about 25 to 30 feet, but is probably
less than 4 feet on the.Chilkat sum
mit. Records show that the mean
annual number of days on which
piecipltatiou occurs In southeastern
Alaska varies from 85 at Skagway
to 235 at Ketchikan.
The experience of those long res
ident in Alaska has shown the cli
mate to be very healthful. No ex
tremes of cold or heat occur along
the Pacific seaboard. The excess
ive rains characteristic of many par')
of this diet! let ar?, to be sure, dis
agreeable, but experience demon
strates the fact that they have no
adverse effect on healtli. It must
be remembered, too, that the exces
sive precipitation is by no means uni
versal In this maritime belt. It has
I een shown that at Skftgway, for ex
ample, that the total precipitation
is less than 30 inches, and at Sew
ard about 54 Inches.

Ciever Trick a Oaring Dacolt Played
Upon an Englishman.
It was yeura ago iu Burma. The
English government tui having trou
ble with a ceitaln princely recalcitrant
named Bob Tub. "the moat daring and ,
enterprising of tbe Itocolts." A bear/ :
price bad twee set upon tbe rebel's 1
bead, but stilt Bob Tub was cunningly
elusive.
At last, hard pressed. Bob Toh tried
a new tack. He walked straight Into
tbe office of tbe commissioner.
"I am Boh Toh," be said simply. "I (
have come to surrender."
Exactly what be bad counted oo now
happened Kourteen years' experience
with eastern subtlety and Intrigue bad
taught tbe commissioner to be wary.
"Thank you," be said. "We will now
proceed to discover who yoo really are
and what you really want. Tell me,
what do you expect to get out of this?"
"Ten thousand rupees," said the Bob
quietly.
The commissioner, although a cool
man, was a little staggered. "I don't
quite follow," he murmured.
"Yet It's quite simple," whispered tbe
Boh. "The government promises 10,- ;
000 rupees to tbe man who brings yon
the head of Boh Tob. I give It to you."
"Capital." was tbe wary answer.
"But as you lose your head what good
does the money do youT"
"My wife and children get tbe mon
ey."
"Fretty pood, my man, bnt not quite
pood enough. Ten thousand rupees will i
l>e nothing to Boh Toh."
"If it were not I should not be here.
1 have been deserted and robbed. I.
am sure to be captured My family
might as well have tbe money while 1
can still command it"
"But why shouldn't I keep the mon
ey? 1 band your bead over, you know."
"Because you are an English gentle
man. I chose my man. you see."
Tbe commissioner mused awhile.
Tben he broke silence. "Look here, I
know you are not tbe Boh. That Is
quite clear I don't cnre woo you are.
But tell me frankly what you wnoL"
The Burman hesitated awhile. Then
he snid: "Ton are right. But my life to
worth as Mttle as the Boh's. I hare
betrayed hi in anil rubbed him. Be baa
sworn revenge. Ulve me an escort as
far aa Mandalay. Here, take these
notes for 1.0UU rtipeeV'-be bad laid
tbem on the table--"and keep them If
In twelve days' time > do not tell .von
how and when yon can capture the
Boh. Kee.t tbem till the Bob is caught
If you prefer."
The commissioner thought hard and
in silence for quite two minutes.
"I agree." he said at length.
So the Boh was safely escorted to
Mandalay I-ater the commissioner re
ceived a letter from him.
"You may keep those rupees." It ran,
"which I, Boh Toh. left with you twelve
days ago I told yon the trnth. Ton
would not believe me. The English
government likes truth, and It likes
money, but they never want both, I
think, at the same time." ? Youth's

The Most Crowded StreeL
The supreme sensation of New York's
east side Is the sensation of the as
tounding |K>pulousnfss. Tbe most
populous street In tbe world? Riving
ton street? is a sight not to be for
gotten. Compared to this, an uptown
thoroughfare of crowded middle class
tlats in the open couutry Is an unin
habited desert: The architecture seem
ed to sweat humanity at every window
and door. The ixwdways were often
impassible. Tbe thought of the bid
den Interiors was terrifying. Indeed,
tbe bidden interiors would not bear
thinking al>out. The fancy shunned
tbem? a problem not to be settled by
sudden municipal edicts, but only by
tbe efflux of generations. ? Harper's

tarrh being a constitutional dtec?ur,
requires a oanstiteUonal treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure Is tak^n intern

thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the conuU

much faith in Its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dollars
