through some woods, to his own farm, some distance away. In

meantime the plaintitf and two other men had examined the horse

and found a circular wound in* the breast ‘tol inch in diameter nearly over the heart which from its clean nature appeared to be such asa smooth instrument like a marlin spike or horn would make. The wound was also examined by another man who proved it and found it smooth inside as well. «The possibility of the horse havy- ing staked himself was denied by all the ‘witnesses examined on that point, except the defendent McMahon, as they held that a stake would have made a wound ofa rougher and different nature, and more- over one of the witnesses carefully exantined the field and fence and found no trace of any such thing having happened nor any place that would grve such a wound. There was also evidence given of negligence and of the previous vicious nature ot the bull. The defence relied chiefly on the fact that the evidence was purely circumstantial and also that when the bull was examined several hours after at the defendant’s stable, that there was no blood on the horn. Verdict for the plaio- tiff, $60. Arthur Mellish for plaintiff; J. A. Mathieson for defendant.

New fashion plates for the coming sea-

| Metiakahtla the

climate in the Indian town was exactly like that at @Klondyke. “What, and you raise potatoes, cabbage,

fand so on in the upper region?”

“Why, certainly, and the best hay I ever saw. Ihave seen grass as bigh as my head there in June, and cattle driven in from Juneau to Dawson are in better con-

| dition when they arrive than when they

are started from the trail.”

Now, what do you think of that, my readers, thousands of miles away I have followed up this cattle story and find it true, I learned to-day thattwo bands of cattle were driven into the Klondyke last summer, and that three bands have already been driven in this year. I find that a band of 1,000 sheep passed up these waters in a steamer a few days back, but I do not know certainly that they are now being driven into the Klondyke, but they could not well be meant for auy other place.

THAT R@AD NOT SO TERRIBLE, And now as to the road, that fearful and perilous, steep and stupendous mountain of ice that had to be c.imbed with ice staff in one hand and rope in the other. Truly I tind that nota single person has yet perished on the line in all these past four

years that the trail las been in use. Further than that, I find that whole families, women 8nd children, old men

and old women, have gone in by the river ecently, and aobody has been the worse for it.

And now for news, the newest news about the dread mountain pass which, according to all received accounts, was te be undertaken only at the peril of life aud limb. Well, men all along here at ‘the In- dian villages and post offices, where we find man to talk to, tell me that the true news wa3 not one-quarter as bad as pug- lished; that last Winter two mails were brougnt this way by English ail carriers, and three by American wail carriers, making the monthly mail trips over the skyscraping glaciers and impassable pass as regularly tuen in the midwin‘ter as they make it now in the midsummer.

More thanthis, a Mr. Wnite went almost a month ago, to cut atrail below and around the so called death trap, and now it ig comfortable. It 18 three er four miles longer, but it is of ea-y grade and # good safe pack trail four fre: wide.

FIVE MILES OF WAGON ROAD.

The first five miles is already wagon road, so, you see, as I prophesied on leaving Seattle, there was a whole lot of big stories told for the benefit of the far-off poer man who was trying to get to the mines.

The nearer we approach the less form id- abls are all the obstacles before us. The walls of Jericho are already down and we have not once trumpeted.

Why, if this keeps on, in thirty days raore we wi! enter the Kloudyke couatry at Dawson in palace cars.

As for the richness and area ofthe mines remember I am not sent to this country to tell what I hear, bat what see, and can say nothing at all about the gold fields till on the ground. I can only report that the glaring accounts silence as we go forward. Bat bear in mind we see next to none di- rectly from there.

THE YUKON THE ROAD

Look at the map and vou wil] see that the way out is not back this wav meeting us, but on down the Yukon, where you stepon the boat at Dawson, and withou wetting foot on land, and making only one change of steamers, you can step out on the wharf at San Francisco. My next letter will be from the foot foot of the nase, or trail as it now is, where we find the last post office till Dawson, nearly 700 miles further oa.

Then we wil! continue to get letters back ‘rom the other side of the pass or end of ‘he line. Onthen, past lakes, woods, waterfal!s, the howling wilderness, into the heart. of the mines. Ifthe returning post- man is met with, or any other responsible party, we may be be able to send out the atory of our voyage by boat raft through the lakes and down the tumbling head- waters of the Yukon. We are looking for- ward to joy in our burried and headlong journey to the mines.

Thus farI have had delight inevery hou of the 2,000, or nearly 2,000 miles that lie behind we since leaving San Francisco.

And it is no mean compliment to this sublime Alaskan land and sea and sweet air to assure you that I never felt quite so strong and well and light hearted in al] my life.

The Same... Old Sarsaparilla.

a Bj»

f

That’s Ayer’s. The same old sarsaparilla as it was made and sold by Dr. J. C. Ayer 50 years ago. In tue laboratory it is different. There modern appli- ances. lend speed to skill and experience. But the sarsapa- rilla is the same old sarsaparilla that made the record—50O years of cures. Why don’t we better it? Well, we’re much in the condition of the Bishop and the raspberry: ‘‘ Doubtless, ”’ he said, ‘God might have made a better berry. But doubtless, also, He never did.” Why don’t we better the sarsaparilla? We can’t. We are using the same old plant that cured the Indians and the Spaniards. It has not been bettered. And since we make sarsaparilla com- pound out of sarsaparilla plant, we see no way of improvement. Of course, if we were making some secret chemical compound we might.... But we’re not. We’re making the same old sar- saparilla to cure the same old diseases. You can tell it’s the same old sarsaparilla be- cause it works the same old cures. It’s the sovereign blood purifier, and—it’s Ayers.
