HIS C ndy Butcher on the Klondike Lim ited Uoe Not Keed to 1H Gol Kno iiioui Prices Given or Every thing He Uaa to BeJ. coal per second that Is to say. a nlc little block two hundred miles long, two hundred miles high and two hun dred miles broad, weighing twelve thousand millions of tons. Easy to Stir Up Trouble. It is always much easier to preach donbt than faith. The bones of three mastodons have beeen discovered In Dcajb Valley, Cali fornia, and their discoverer, a miner, The old query as to whether or not you would like to be the Icemau will be rapidly forgotten as soou as song writers and Imlliidists lttarn about the train boy in Alaska. There Is a train boy lu Aluska. Just one. Or rather there was a few weeks ago, but by this time he may be somewhere In the Med iterranean ou his private yacht blowing rings from his 00-cent cigars, and swearing at his $5,000-a-year sailing master because lie cannot whistle up a breeze. Think of being the only train boy on a railroad that brings miners with thousands of dollars' worth of gold out of the greatest mining camp in the world. There Is only one railroad to Alaska that Is the White Pass and Yukon Kuilroad. Ou that railroad there Is a train called the Klondike Limited. The Klondike Limited! Isn't the sound of that name enough to make a common candy butcher on the run be tween Peoria and Lafayette, Iud., stick his head Into his basket of S!'t"d nuts and strangle himself to death? For there is a train boy ou the Klondike Limited. Ou the Klondike Limited, that brings prospectors and miners and adventurers weighted down with gold en nuggets back to the States civiliza tion, and the girls they left behind them, there Is a candy butcher. And all these prospectors and miners and adventurers ou this Klondike Limited are bubbling over with Joy that the days of their exile are over, aud that eoon they will be back to their boyhood homes again. Think of turning loose a candy butcher In such a crowd as that. To quote another popular song, "It mm' ins like a shame to take the money." The tralnboy on the Klondike Limit ed, like Ills brothers on the Kenosha lo cal, deals In peanuts, candy, books, pa pers, and magazines. Hut more than that, he sells shirts and collars aud bright red neckties, lie also has a full line of plug tobacco and cigars of the finest cabbage selected leaf. The train boy does uot like to sell cigars He only gets 50 cents apiece for them, aud they cost him 75 cents a hundred. He sells the cigars to show he's a good fellow. He didn't originally deal In shirts and haberdashery, but he found that the miners returning to civilization yearn madly for a "blled" shirt. So arter he had sold the shirt oft his back, together with his collar and red necktie for ?10U he decided to carry a stock of shirts and ties. There are stringent restrictions In Alaska in regard to selling whisky, and so the tralnboy doesn't sell it. He gives It. away, aud lets the man tip hliu for bis trouble lu pulling the cork. If the man were to give him a nugget any smaller than the size of the cork the tralnboy would haughtily refuse to let hi in buy any more cigars, and would charge him at least $5 for a two months' old newspaper, which he ordl nnrlly gives away for only ?LW). Then the traluboy sells playing cards, and the passengers are always wanting a game, lie puts up the tuble, too, hands around the matches, and, of course, n large-and substantial "kitty' Is maintained ou one side of the lable for the sole support of the obllglu tralnboy. If anybody was to put a quarter or a silver half dollar Into the "kitty" the Iralnboy wouldn't be angry He uses those things to pay storekeep ers for fresh goods for his next run. A Seattle newspaper ninn Interviewed the tralnboy on the last trip from Atys kn. Quoth the tralnboy: "Am I It Am I? Say, ain't I a naughty boy? i know It's wrong to take the money, but I need It In my business, and, besides, as soon us I get enough I'll buy the railroad and give some other good de serving boy a chance to fasteu ou to a little honest money.

Navigation by small boats Is, of course, entirely interrupted by this obstruction, which is in places sup plemented by vines and clinging plants which arch the streams from bank to bank. Heavy floods occasionally sweep ' away the accumulations of plants, but they are quickly reformed. Several years ago, members of the Geological Survey suggested that in for mer times the Tennessee River, instead of Joining the Ohio, as at present, flow ed into the Gulf of Mexico through the j channels of the .Coosa and Alabama Myers. This conclusion has recently I been corroborated In a singular manner by Charles T. Simpson, of the Smith sonian Institution. The original sug gestion was based on the appearances of the land, but Mr. Simpson's confir mation depends upon the distribution of a particular form of fresh-water mussel which, although it is peculiar to the Tennessee Itiver, is also found In the Coosa and the Alabama. As these creatures cannot traverse the land, the Inference Is that formerly the waters of the Tennessee flowed southward into the streams above named. In the Wrong Class.
