such rom&rk&blo proiortlon8 and
shnpo that thus far it has baffled all
attempts at classifying it, and baa

that tholr heads raeched into tho tree

Found by Gold Hunters.
After lying for. unnumbered cen

hunters, looked upon ns tho remains
of n burled god by tho Indians, fought
ovor and carrlod for hundreds of

The largwt of thoso remains, which

across and five foot high, and though
It la nulto dry It weighs 1000 pounds.
This hugo bono has lod authorities
to bollevo that tho animal could havo

It was la the heart of winter and
Buck was thawing ground for wank

A sliort Uhiw after he cam back to
Dr. IaUNan and uxoUedly told him
that he had struck a huge bone. The

known as the pevllc bone, was hauled
out by means of ropes. This was fol
lowed by tho rest of tho remains,
nearly all of tho smaller pieces of
which woro carried away. For a fow
days tho find created a tremendous
sensation and tho rumor quickly
spread among tho Indians that the
remains of one of their gods had been
found.
It was thon Impressed upon Buck
by Dr. Pattorson that tho skeleton
might bo of priceless valuo. More
nnd moro Duck becamo possessed of
tho Idea that ho had mado a raro dls
covory, and soon ho abandoned his
claim. Somowhero ho had hlddon tho
bonos, and as tho wooks dragged on
ho began planning for tholr removal
l tuo United States. Dut Buck feared
10 approacn uio dominion govorn-
ment for a pormlt to tako the skeloton
out of Its territory. It would tako
time, and if tho bonos woro of great
valuo to sclonco they might rofuse the
permit nltogothor. So. ho hit upon a
dating scheme.
It was In tho middle of the Arctic
winter. Virtually there was no day.
But this was all tho hotter for Buck's
designs. Ho oullstod In his sorvlco a
number of daring natlvo guldos and
a number of dog teams.
Ono night Buck disappeared. With
him wont tho skeloton. Buck was
travollng swiftly up tho Yukon, toward
Skngway.
Whothor Buoks guldos betrayed
him, or whothor tho Indians wore,
keeping closo watch of what Uioy ro-
gardod as a snored rolic, is not
known, but hardly had ho started on
hli long, portions journoy boforo Uio
rod men woro In hot pursuit.
Just what happened to Buck on that
Uirilllng raco will never be known.
Varying roports camo back to Daw
son. In th 1 3 Buok had been killed; In
othors guldos nnd prospectors told
how tlioy had camo across Indians
who had beon shot to death.
Held, Enemies at Bay.
At least thrso times it U said that
Buck hold his onomloe at bay with his
rlllo. Thoro was not rost for hlmsolt
or his dogs on this raro to Skagway.
At that plaeo ho boxod his relics, and
it his summer ncocmpanled them to
San Francisco, and thonco to his
home in Arknnsas.
Thoro Buck mot nn old frlond from
Michigan, William McCrory, and also
wroto to Da Pattorson, telling him a

HOW MUCH DOES

on tho contrary, It may bo as tho

heartstrings," his chorlshcd vino and

him desolate Ono can mcosuro feel

Thoro havo boon men, not a fow,
who, crave lovo, havo counted all clso
worthless without it, nnd finding Uio
ono precious drop lacking in Uio cup
of llfo hnvo cast tho goblot from them
and gono shrloklng out Into Uio dark
unknown, cursing fato nnd defying tho
futuro, in mad dospnlr at Its absenco.
Fortunatoly for tho raco, men and
womon alike, such lovers aro tho ox

tholr duty to tho worll nnd their
maker as well, porhaps bettor than
thoy might havo dono if tho venture
upon which they risked all their hopos

According to tho gospol no man
hath tho right to llvo sololy unto him

quaint old wrltor, "that thoii shouldst
expect happiness? Learn instead to
do tho work which God glvoth thee,
not bewailing Its hardnoss, and so
shalt thou find blcsscdnoss, which Is
bettor." Thoro bo somo who must

The kitteu, la a moment of Exces

lowed a hat pin. The animal was only
four mouths oM. and of the usual else
for such au ago. The hat pin was
seven inches hmg, with a stoae head.
Mr. Yore noticed the kitten plnyiag
with the oraameut. which came from
his daughters hat. Seou afterward
the nta was missing. Search was fu
tile, and the kitten, whtoh continued
to be as aporUve aa ever, gave no
symptom ef distress, uaUl a few days
ago, when It became III and subject to
fits. This started & controversy In
grief, Is sincere, nlbolt self-contained.
Ho waits a decent period before ho

people who theso days of careless
housomalds can afford to set tholr

rellshos and digests! plain food, is
by far moro conduclvo to health than
Uio cultivated palato of tho gourmot,
which can bo satisfied only with the
dainties of Lucullus and which taxes
tho skill of a cordon bleu.
As already said Uio woman In the
case has much to do with tho amount
of devotion upon tho part of tho man
Every electric light upon tho boule
vards on summer nights preaches a
sermon of Its own, with Uio hundreds
of moths and flics which, dazzled by
Its brilliancy, dash themselves against
It and dlo for tho sake of ono. brief
Instant of agonizing joy. On tho
othor hand, tho homely candle, though
It bo of wax, servos only to attract
a fow stray Insects, content to buzz
around It nt a safo distance from the
flame and to light tho bloodthirsty
mosquito to his proy. Thoro are
somo chemicals which will set flro to
Ice and thoro aro womon whom tho
vorlost clod In tho shape of man will
adore, and, if need bo, dlo for. And,
by tho Irony of fate, theso fow womon
are In most cases apparently destitute
of heart and car not at all for the
lives thoy wreck and tho misery thoy
occasion. Thoro aro also women with
hearts warm enough to lovo all hu
manity, the sort whom naturo croated
for wives and mothers, who novor
mnko any, man's pulso throb a beat
fastor, and whoso heart history is
summed up In tho-brlot ceuplet:
"Four words coraprlco It: I wns
never loved, Tho palm of grlof, thou
wilt allow, Is mine."
Moreover, whon a woman has won
the lovo of n man, however dovotod he
may appear, it is usually necessary
for hor to tako somo pains to hold
fast to his lovo If sho wishes to keep
It. Thoro aro oxcoptlons, but most
mon's lovo is a flro which caBlly dlos
for lack of fuol. Shakospcaro assorts
that
"Mon woro deceivers ovor,
Ono foot on sea and ono on shoro,
to ono thing constant novor."
Indeed, It sooms somotlmos as
though tho lovo of man woro llko a toy

It Is off In a Jiffy, whllo, for yet
another point of rosemblanco, thoro
aro lovos which must not bo kept In
a too warm atmosphoro lest thoy

In this stronuous ora no man of
affairs can afford to mako lovo the

his llfo. He rjuit hold It as a thing
apart, somothlns for himself alone,
and alUiough ho may covet tho earth
only Uiat ho may give it to some wo
man, ho must forgot tho woman for
tho tlmo, whllo he struggles with

"Ho took tho tiny baby down and
laid It beside tho swan. Tho bird

baby, which it kopt alive and warm
