Toe Ancient Writers.
The ox' ellenee of the undent writ
ers does not consist in u trick that
::h l.o learned. but in a perfect adai>
• ti of moans to ends. The secret
.f tin' style of the great Greek and
i:,.-i.au authors is that It Is the per
ti. 11 nf good sense. In the tirst
tliey never use a word without
a moaning, or a word which adds
nothing lo the meaning; they knew
what ilicy wanted to say, and their
i' lin'o purpose was to say it with the
J t degree of exactness and com
'•no<i, and bring It home to the
ml with the greatest possible clonr
• and vividness . . . The ancients
wi re concise because of the extreme
- tliey look with their epithets:
aln.o ; all moderns are prolix becuuse
v •!o not. The great ancients Could
. xpros a thought so perfectly In a
fi-w words or sentences, that they did
lo t need to add any more.—John

Describes Trip
London to Paris
."From Paris to London requires !
tho same length of time as the jour- j
ney from Skagway to Juneau and '
yet in that time our passports and ,
baggage were examined three times '
once at Calais, onco at Dover and
again at Loudon. As Dover is 011
the Uritish side" of the Cnannel we
could not understand the examina
tion at London and concluded the
the London officials must he afraid
their Dover, brethren were holding J
out on them.
"I am afraid we saw Louddn at
its very worst. The weather was
dark and dismal, foggy and cold. It
was our intention to put up at the
Hotel Cecil but unfortunately we I
could Hot get rooms there and on
their reccommendation went to the
Charing Cross. It seems we were in !
the neighborhood pf fifty years late
in order to enjoy the- Charing Cross.
The lieat is furnished by an open
fireplace and as time has warped J
and shrunk the Charing Cross until
there irf a crack uuder the door of
the room we occupied of such de
mention that my mother felt forced
to stop it up with some of our wear
ing apparel so that we might keep
comfortably warm, we came to the |
conclusion that Londou hotels left
much to be desired. And when I
paid our bill, there was an item of a
few shillings, or pounds, or some
thing or another for fuel. My mind j
instantly reverted o Skagwaty, with
Suffecool's truck backing up and un-j
loading coal, and not remembering!
any such occurance in London I ask-j
ed the clerk what ho meant by fuel! j
'Why, lady, dial's for the coals in j
your apartment.' I paid without do-1
mur, for 1 had already had a glimpse j
of London Tower.
Returned to
the North Again
Frank Kelly, veteran actor, who in j
the gold stampede days of '9S was I
known in Dawson and Koyukul: as 1
"Ragtime" Kelly has returned to the
northland.
Friends of the comedian say years
ago he named the town of Coldfoot, 1
located far above the Arctic circle. |
There had been a rush of prospectors j
to the camp, then the 'farthest noith* j
mining district, and a name for the!
place was wanted. Kelly, one of the .
prospectors suggested "cold foot" l»c- j
cause many who went to the spot |
got "cold feet" as he expressed it. j
and turned back.
Later Kelly prospected in the Koy-|
ukuk district, lie recorded and staked :
a claim on what lie tolit was Em- j
ma creek, where it was thought gol.1
could be found. Soon Kelly found j
that his claim wau not on "Knuna |
Creek but on a £ulch far from the j
stream. To this day 'lie culch is j
known as "Kelly'l Mistake."—Sew
