A NATURAL BORN LIAR
Thers is probably more truth in
the old eaying that "All Men are
Uais" than the average Individual
im aware of, but for lying that, is
asinine commend u» to the teuder
foer who pay* a •hort vacation vis
it to the north during the summer
season, and then goes home and
tell* "the folks" about nia experi
ence* and hairbreadth «*c«pe» from
the danger* of the untrodden wlhls.
There wu « female of this descrip
tion who passed a lew in
Juneau last summer and who, upon
her return to the land of her na
tivity, oubtlshed la the local paper
a lot of "gusa" about Alaska, in
cluded la wUich was a statement
that therj were neither cows nor
chicken# in the territory because it
bad b«eu found impossible to keep
th«m through thq long and extreme
ly sever* winters., As a matter of
fact, however, there are large herds
of dairy Cows in various sections of
the north that are kept in excel
lent condition the year round with
bo greater discomfort to the ani
mals th°" are experienced by those
w interexi by th* farmers In almost
»ay section of the Dominion of Can
ada or the United States, east of the
Rocky mountains, and as for chick
ens, almost every housewife *n
Skagway has from a few to many
dozens, which all do well, and in
season &r$ prolific layers and good
mothers to their broods of little
ones, which it i» their delight here,
as much as it i« that of their sis
ters elsewhere, to bring fvrtfc.
The heighth of abaurrdl.y is
reached, however, la the following
■tory told to the Albany (Or.)
Democrat by one Clark Burgard, who
claims to be the sou of an ex-coun
cilmaa of Portland. That he could
find anyone to listen to his fantas
tic and unbelievable tale is hard
ly credible but the wonder is great
ly increased when it is taken up
and given publicity to by a newspa
per of presumably good standing:
Listen to thl*:
"Telling of hairbreadth escapes,
the perils faced by men who use
toothbrushes in the wilds aid the
running of steamboats with drunken
crews, Clark Burgard, a son of
John Burgard, ex-councllman of
Portland, vialted in Albany a short
time yesterday while on his way
back to the university at Eugene,
where he is a senior.
"Immediately after leaving college
early in the Summer, Clark, accom
panied by his younger brother, Wil
liam Burgard, left for Alaska
where their father is interested in
several salmon steamahios that
plied along the coast of Alaska.
The first morning in the fo'castie
of the ship Clark Burgard produced
a tooth brush and commenced his
morning ablations. From the en
tire crow there came a -roar of der
ision, and thereafter Burgard -wait
ed until coming ashore before he
cleaned his teeth.
"William Burgard, well known iu
Albany, went as deck hand on a
second boat. At a point a little
above Juneau the captain and mates
went ashore, enjoyed themselves
and became hilariously drunk. Five
hours after the scheduled sailing of
the boat young Burgard went ashore
and dragged the exuberant officers
aboard.
"Though a green hand, the young
man had learned to box the com
pass and that night, with a drunken
crew, he left the port above Juneau
and by 7 o'clock the next morning
had successfully steered the boat
through the darkness into Juneau.
Officers of the company came down,
heard the tale and made him cap
tain of the boat for the remainder
ct the summer."

BEGUN IN* PRINCE Rl'l'ERT
A somewhat peculiar atory which
may have importaut developments
has just come to light.
On the arrival of the train Thurs
day evening, a well groomed, fine
appearing man, was intercepted by
the authorities, the tip having pre
viously been given by some of the
train staff.
It appears the, passenger boaTded
the cars at Edson. On the way
west he conversed with many others,
on the subject of the war. Evident
ly, he was not only highly educat
ed, but possessed rather exact
knowledge touching the situation in
Europe. It is alleged that he
claimed to be a rancher with quite
extensive interests in the Canadian
West.
It came to the knowledge of
others on ths train that the military
authorities in Edmonton were watch
ing for the appearance of a German
who was known to be lu the Peace
River country. As far as can be
learned, he never put in an appear
ance in Edmonton. With this
knowledge, it was decided to keep
the passenger under observation.
It is said that since his arrival
in Prince Rupert there are
grounds for believing he has been
traveling under an assumed
name, although this report lack#
absolute confirmation and It is
merely given for what it may be
worth. It is understood he Is
still in Prince Rupert.—Empire,

EATING IN BERLIN.
A Humorist's View of the Netlvee"
Wonderful Appetite*.
The average Berliner has a double
chin running all the way. around and
four rolls of fat on the back of his
neck, all closely clipped and shaved, so
as to bring out their full beauty and
symmetry, and he has a figure that
makes him look as though an earth
quake had shaken loose everything on
tbe top floor and tt bad all fallen
through Into his dining room.
Your true Berliner eats his regular
dally meals, four In number and all
large ones, and In between times he
now and then gathers a bite. For In
stance, about 10 o'clock in the morning
be knocks off for an hour and has a
few cups of hard boiled coffee and
some sweet, sticky pastry with whip
ped cream on it
Then about 4 o'clock in the afternoon
he browses a bit, just to keep up his
appetite for dinner. This, though. Is
but a snack—say a school of Bismarck
herring and a kraut pie, some more
coffee and more cake and one thing
and another—merely a preliminary to
the real food, which will be coming
along a little later on.
Between acts at the theater he ex
cuses himself and goes out and pre
pares his stomach for supper, which
will follow at 11 o'clock, by drinking
two or three steins of thick Munich
beer and nibbling on such small tidbits
as a few links of German sausage or
the upper half of a row Westphalia
ham.
There are forty-seven distinct and
separate varieties of German sausage,
and three of them are edible, but the
Westphalia ham, in my judgment. Is
greatly overrated. It is pronounced
Westfailure, with the accent on the
last part, where it belongs.
In Germany, however, there Is a
pheasant agreeably smothered In young
cabbage, which Is delicious and In sea
son plentiful. The only drawback to
complete enjoyment of this dish is that
the grasping and avaricious German
restaurant keeper has the confounded
nerve to charge you. in our money, 40
cents for a whole pheasant and half a
peck of cabbage—say enough to fur
nish a full meal for two tolerably hun
gry adults and a child.—Irvin 8. Cobb

His Lucky Coin.
In one of his Hibbert lectures Mas
Muller said to the students: "Many of
you, I suspect, carry a halfpenny with
a hole in It for luck. 1 am not asham
ed to own that I have done so myself
for many years." The case was cited
by him in his lecture as an illustration
of "survivals" from primeval fetich
ism. hut on his own account Max Mul
ler confessed that when sometimes be
had left home without this halfpenny
talisman he felt "very uncomfortable"
until his safe return.
