FVLL OF FAITH.
Three young men from New
Hampshire, lured to Seattle by the
fahulous stories of the Klondike,
were buncoed ont of $5,000 by Scat
tie sharpers a day or two ago on a
story that a 5-year-old child should
have seen through. The bunco rren
found that the young fellows had
about $3,000 and that they wanted
to go to the Klondike. This fur
uisbed the ground for the sharpers.
One of them represented that he had
just come from the gold fields with
bis partners; that they had a claim,
No. 18, on Bouanza creek, wcrth
3,000,000, but that they would take
the young fellows in as partners for
$5,000. Not that they wanted the
money, but simply because they
"wanted to know the men they took
in were of the responsible kind. The
young fellows telegraphed home for
$2,000 more, and turned over $5,000
Jo the generous Klondikers who were
elhng them an interest in mines
worth $100,000 for each $ 1,000 paid.
The young fellows have tele
graphed home for money tb pay
their fares home, and state that they
Lave seen all they care to of the
wild, woolly and wicked West. It is
just as well that they went broke be
fore they got beyond the confines ot
civilization and out of the reach of
aid from their relatives.
It is not probable that we are to
finger much British gold on account
of the wheat crop. "That is,' we are
not to receive any extra amount
from England. The crops there
have been above the average, but of
course England will have to buy,
and to buy at the increased prices.
The heavy crop shortages have been
in Europe, France, Hungary and
Russia. France will have to buy
heavily instead . of exporting, and
Australia and the Argentine instead
of exporting must import. The
same is true of India. - Hence, no
matter how good crops Englind has,
she must come into the world s mar
kets to purchase what she needs.
From present indications wheat will
command a good price for two or
three years. It will take more than
average crops for two years to re
place the world's shortage, and under
average circumstances it will take
five years to catch up with the short
age and create a surplus that will
again force prices down.
Thomas Lewis of Farmington at
tempted to commit suicide a few
days ago because a girl he was badly
smitten with refused to respond to
his wild waste waste of 'affection.
This is one of the most insane follies
of vouth. Before they arrive at the
age of discretion every beard-sprout-er
imagines that if he does not get
some one especial diviDity, the world
has gone wrong, and, like Pyramiis,
he wants to go slabbing himself. He
does not realize that Daroe Fortune,
who apportions things, is a kindly
old soul, and does much for such
blamed fools as himself. Puppy
love is a necessity, sweet as treacle
and just as sticky but most of us
recover by escaping; otherwise two
souls are generally rendered miser
able, and each wonders how the
divine Klnndicitis ever struck them.
An attempt is beiug made by the
National Bar Association to have a
uniform divorce law passed in all the
states of the union. This should be
done. Under the present laws the
condition of divorced persons who
marry again is a strange one. A
man married in New York, for in
stance, and divorced, may not marry
again for' a given period. He may
go over into Ohio and there marry
legally. The marriage under the
New York laws wouli be void;
under the Ohio laws legal. The
children of the -marriage would in
one fctate be considered legitmate;
in the other not so, and in case of
the death of the parents this might
seriously affect the inheritance,
There is no branch of, the law that
so badly Leeds being made uniform
as the divorce law.
At the bullion rate the silver in a
dollar is now worth less than forty
cents.. The price goes steadily down,
and there really seems to be no limit
at which this downward tendency
must stop. The cost of production,
except under most favorable circum
stances, has already been passed, and
the question - fs as to what will be
done with silvet.coin. It is this very
question that is principally responsi
ble for the swift decline in prices.
Fears are entertained that silver will
become so cheap that it will be aban
doned as a money metal, and if this
were done and the thousands of tons
of silver coin. were, thrown on the
market, tt woald be' practically val
ueless. ; :
Arkansas is having a boom in the
pearl industry. It has been dis
covered that the mussels with which
Atkansas streams abound are loaded
with pearls, and -Arkansas people
have all gone to. wading in ...the
streams hunting for them. Pearls
have been found valued, at $800.
The scriptural comparison i"a8.ting
pearls before swine may, or may not,
have been fulfilled, according to how
Arkansas citizens are sized up.
The Moro Observer promulgated
a great truth when it said in its last
issue, "In a short time the world will
be divided into two great classes
those who are sorry they did not go
to the Klondike and those who are
sorry they did.
