ONE DAY OF GOOD CHEER DUrJ- INQ A DREARY WINTER, At 60 Decrees Below Zero, and While the Bitter Winds Were Roaring, Dawaon City Celebrated in a Crude bnt Joyous Manner. BE December days and nights, accord ing to one of the miners who came back from the Yu kon diggings with plenty of gold, are the most trying of the year in the Klon dike region, especial ly at Christmas time. "If I live to the age of Methusaleh," he says', "I don't be lieve I shall ever forget Christmas. It was Dawson City's first: Dawson was three months and a half old, and had set tled down to be a permanent town. All the miners' who had made good locations had by this time .boused themselves in pine-board shanties. A few had .built shanty frames about tents to secure greater warmth within. All of us who made any strikes of gold at all bad done so by October, so we were well along with our gold digging; but we coulddo less in December than in any month in the year. From the latter part of November to early in January there is only four hours of practical daylight in any day. Many days, when the wind blew hardest in fact, it blows a gale there all the winter long, and snow and pellets of. ice were blown along candles were kept lighted all day long. In winter, candles and lamps were always lighted between 1 and 2 in the afternoon. .The mercury ranged from 20: degrees below zero to 65 degrees below.! So we could notmatti satisfactory headway even In the 'richest of the dig gings. -All' through December about half the miners.uged forspend days in loafing about McCarthy's saloon at Dawson. The other half puttered about' their cabins, dug a. little now and then', mended their fur suits and made shoes .from walrus hide. .. .. "At McCartny'a sometimes 150 or more men would gather around the roaring fire and a strange scene it was. Imagine an assemblage of men in a rough,, barn-like struptcre, furnished with board, benches, and Illuminated by, a dozen flickering can dles. Some men are dressed in baggy gar ments of fur, -others in several coarse, heavy overcoat over heavy woolen clothes. AH have caps of half-cured, shag gy, rancid-smelling fur, so that only the face appears. Every mall has a prodig ious growth of whiskers, sometimes a foot long, and hair that reaches below the rim of the caps and lies across the shoulders. "fhere were but a'dozen calendars in all that region and very few men had any idea of dates. : Some, did not even know what month It was. One day, as we sat at McCarthy's, some one suggested that Christmas -Was approaching and we thought of observing the occasion.. A week before Christmas we all agreed npon a celebration, and, crude though It was, we had a day that none of us .will ever forget. . It was more remarkable from the fact that there were in and about the lit tle hamlet of Dawson City over 1,100 men. No one earned less than $16 a day, and the larger part bad each risen from poverty to possessions worth several thou sand dollars in a period of three months. I suppose the combined wealth in actual gold in the. district then, was nearly $1,- 000,000, and a clear prospect of increasing it to twice or tnrice tnat sum in anomer five months. I don't believe that a com munity richer per capita has existed in this world than that.was at Dawson City. Yet we had, a moejtety of civilization and hardly any of the comforts of life of a lot of paupers'," ' ' ' " "Every one was informed on Dee. 24 of the fact that next day would be Christ mas, Seme 300 oi us, went down to Mc Carthy's to celebrate the holiday. ' Dark ness set in at that period at about 1:30 p. m., but we had become accustomed to the 20-hour nights. When It got along to about 11:50 p. m. we got our watches out and' waited; - At exactly 12 the slghal was given. The whistle' at Joe Ladue's saw mill screeched for. a half, hour, and pver 300 shotguns, rifles and pistols were, dis charged, in volleys, singly, in quartets and In trios, for hours. Every one shook hands. Some, danced about the .room, and big, burly miner's bugged one another, while 'Merry Christmas'' was shouted again and again. It was the first time In the whole experience of, the Klondike that, we felt In sympathy with the outside world. "On Christmas morning' we brushed up a bit, and putting onaur best rubber boots went and called on our best. friends in the mining cabins aah'd settlements, and ' re ceived our friends, from the mining cabins scattered up and down the frozen creeks. "At 2 p. m., when the darkness was tat tling down in the valleys, several hundred miners met by agreement at McCarthy's. It was' the only -building In Dawson that could comfortably hold a large assemblage of people. Mac had prepared a program of events for, the day and we had each chipped in an ounce of dust toward de fraying the expenses; The sawdust had been removed from the floor and a score of candles and lamps were arranged about the room. McCarthy himself wore a boil ed shirt in honor of the occasion. On a broad board table along one wall of the room a luncheon bad been arranged for ALMOST TIME TO GO. the Christmas celebrators. For a half hour after arriving at Mac's we were busy stamping snow from our rubber boots and walrus hide shoes, peeling off extra cover ings and in general hand-shakings and more 'Merry Christmasings.' "'Now, boys, fall right in and tickle your gizzards over there,' shouted Mac urbanely to the crowd, "There was room for only fifty to eat at a time, so while one squad was standing up and eating at the table, the rest were sitting about on the benches. We told stories of other Christmas days in other camps, talked about what the people down In the States were doing, wondered what had transpired since we last, heard from there (five months before), wondered who was dead, how election had gone, and what the people would say when we go back with our heaps of gold and stories of how rich we had struck it. "At last the last man in the crowd of Christmas celebrators had been to the long table and bad filled np on baked beans, fried pork and bacon, codfish balls, macaroni and coffee. Then Mac read the program and the entertainment proceeded. A dozen men made speeches a few of them genuinely humorous appropriate to the occasion. 'America' and 'Clod Save the Queen' were sung and resung. The Norwegians and Swedes sang their na tional songs, and the sounds of the first Christmas celebration In the Klondike were carried on the wind down among the icy crags of the lonely, frozen Yukon. It must have been below 50 degrees below zero when we pulled our fur caps on and strapped our heavy garments about us late that arctic night and went trudging home through the snow to our cabins along the creeks."

Mrs. Grumpy In Her Christmas Buy ing; Adopts Grnmpy's Methods. Grumpy always has a financial spasm when the Christmas returns come in, and this year his spell was an unusually bad one.

"Only this. You have always sought to impress upon me that I should adopt your business methods. You declared that you were going to mnke the money fly provid ed the election went your way, and I made all these orders subject to the same condi tion." "Oh, I comprehend.

The Russian Christmas is ten days later than the English one, but is celebrated very much in English fashion. Families all meet upon that dny and country house parties are many. The tree Is a Christ mas yew and is beautifully decorated. The gifts are placed on small tables near the tree. The churches are decorated with greens and so are the houses, but no mis tletoe Is used. Two or three days are public holidays at Christmas time, and the people greet each other with "Happy feast to you." A huge pyramid of rice with raisins In It, which has been blessed at the church, Is served at the Christmas dinner, and the meats are goose, duck and sucking pig. A great delicacy at a Rus sian Christmas dinner Is veal which has been fed entirely upon milk for that spe cial day. The Bachelor's Stocking.

BELIEF IN SANTA CLAUS. It Will Give Blessings Heaped Up to Pay You for Your Faith. fcWCTtspiEJ WOULD ones B EislP?! contained a fath er and mother who did not be lieve in Santa Clous. They were afraid, too, to let their children be- 'MvWl?!'fc d old myth, fear ing that the fan cy would make them credulous, or that It would have the effect of teaching them de celt. Facts which could be proved and verified these excellent people Insisted upon, and when town and country were rejoicing, Christmas bells ringing, Christ mas tapers twinkliug and Christmas car ols thrilling, their home was robbed of half its rightful cheer In their strenuous determination not to be Imposed upon by Santa Clans or any of his train. But to turn to our original thought. Did the parents who would have none ol Hants Clans gain anything by their resolution to be rigidly true to a tangible and material order, or, clinging to the husk, did tbey lose the fruit which was growing within for the healing of the nations' Many things not susceptible of proof by the evi dence of the physical senses are really true in that higher realm where the im agination rules. One of these never-dying, never-failing things Is Santa Clans, and year by year the weeks over which his scepter is extended are weeks of rare beauty and a time when good-will every where shines In men's countenances and is the mainspring of their lives. Children see and feel this wonderful festival of love on the earth, but they cannot enter Into it fully, and so those who were wiser than we, in good old days fragrant in memory, christened the Christmas season, when the yule-log burns, and the holly gleams, and the world is glad, as the spe cial gala-time of Santa Claris. Believe in him all you can and he will give you blessings heaped up and running over to pay you for your faith. Harper's Bazar. A Hi minder.
