NEW NORTH POLE HUNTER
'Mosher" Will Be There the First
When n Gold Stampede

There is a popular belief in the ex

will be discovered by a musher and not.
by any scientific polar expedition, say*
the Sunset Magazine. This belief is
based pn the conviction that a gold
stampede will eventually he started

that (he mushers will rush in where

Gilbert Parker, the novelist, who
finds his most congenial theme in
Freneh-Candiaii life, has made his read

cry with which drivers of dog teams
urge forward their panting animals.
French-Canadian trappers were among
(he earliest white men in the far north
west. and American prospectors on the
Yukon soon learned to goad tfceir dogs
on with the same cry. without, however,

RAVAGES OF THE SOUVENIR
What Was Once a Harmless Fad Haa
Become Almost a Univer
sal Mania.
The vogue of the illustrated souvenir
postal card has assumed the dimensions
of a literary peril. What was once a
harmless fad confined to more or less ec
centric visitors in out-of-the-way places
has become all but a universal mania,
says the New York Post. The Boston
post office reports handling 25,000 of
these yellow Upps in a single day. The
so-cglled comic valentine once laintea
the postman’s bag. Its influence, how
ever lasted but for a day, while the sou
venir postal card ceaseth not day nor
night to cfy for a destroyer.
From the point of view of growing
popularity these postal cards but evi
dence anew the danger with which
modern mechanism is continually en
compassing the other handicraft arts.
The printed book has driven out illus
trated missal “The quarter-sawed oak’’
ofy Kalamazoo has displaced Chippen
dale and Sheraton And at last the illus
trated postal, with cheap ready-made
sentiment and ehromo lithograph
threatens the letter of friendship, travel
and description. The residuary field of
the epistolary art was long supposed to
be safe from the inroads of the printing
press. Political intelligence such as
fills Horace Walpole's six stout vol
umes of private letters has for over a
century been disseminated in the news
papeis. Scientific news .has long since
found slnailai media of publicity. But

Once, says the Loudon Clarion, a trav

Naples. Near them were two Italians
engaged in conversation. The younger
of the two seemed much excited.
With his hands he made reaching and
clinging motions, as if climbing. Then
he seemed to he groping for cherries in
the air, as he reached right and left

and forefinger of his left hand together,
and holding them before his eyes, weut

time he talked.
Suddenly his manner changed. He
made overhand motions, as,if throwing

From an island off Grand Traverse

The phrase "like finding money”
1 tone of tit- most familiar in our pop
| clar speech I shows in itself how even
| humdrum t wentietb-ce«rfury society is
i permeated by the notion of treasure
i trove. Qt.her ecpially common figures i
of speech, it will be noted, relate
to experiences as familiar as them- ,
selves. Spilt milk and chickens count
ed before they are hatched come with- !
in the limits of everyone's knowledge.
But hardly anybody finds money.
When one does, it is usually only a :
dime or a nickel in the gutter. The
phrase goes into homely language be
cause people are thinking about find
ing money, not because they are do
ing it.
One reason for the fascination which
hidden treasure has for persons of
all ages and periods is that ojj no other
ground do romance and practical Bense
approach so closely. That there were
pirates along our coasts—enough of
them to make up a popular series of
the now extinct cigarette picture*—ia
as indisputable as that thtre were
igners of the Declaration of Independ
ence. They certainly amassed g eat
stores of gold and silver. It was their
regular practice to bury this, and no
body has ever dug it up. Therefore,
it is still where they buried it, for

JILTING PROVES COSTLY.
-»—
When Engagements Are Entered In
to in Germany They Must
Stand.
It Is no light matter to enter Into
an engagement in Germany. Cupid
plays by no means the principal part
in the contract. The German law—
grim, practical, relentless—is close at |
hand to see that no wrong is done to l
either party. No wonder, therefore, I
that an engagement is entered into :
only a little less lightly than the j
estate of matrimony itself. Once the
betrothal feast has taken place the j
knot is as good as tied. The one who ;
breaks the engagement, except for
good reasons, recognized by the law
as such, is obliged to pay, not for
damaged affections or broken heart, •
but for material loss. If the bride
have given up a lucrative employment
I in the prospect of marriage she must
