Beautiful `Scenery and Interesting Inhabitants Offsets Rough Life. For those who are strong and do not mind coarse food, roughnecks and rough treatment, when counterbalanc- ed by beautiful sce d ` t t eery an Sn eres - ing men a voyage upon the river Yukon is an experience not to be re- gretted. He who has not seen the Yukon, the Klondyke which empties; into. ft, and those who live neartheir banks has not: seen Alaska. The Yukon flows 2000 miles or more, outmeandering the Meander river in its coils and twists, near one point passing the same hill five times -through a wilderness almost pathless, which the greater part of the way has remained un- changed since the discovery of America. . The primeval forest on its banks has in most places no inhabitants except moose, caribou, bear, lynx, and other wild animals. Some of these can be. seen from the boat upon the shores or swimming in the water. Here and there are a few Indian cabins, or the lodge of a wood -chopper who supplies the steamers with fuel, and a few min- ing camps, now almost empty, and owing their present limited existence principally to the fur trade. One of these, the town of Circle,, was so named because it was erroneously thought to be upon the Arctic circle; which parallel, as has been since dis- covered, cuts the river at a point near the Mission and trading post of Fort Yukon, many miles farther north, and Is indicated bya white globe painted upon a sign -board on the shore. Circle was once the largest tent -city in the eeevorld, but its white inhabitants are now hardly a score. It is said that in its well populated cemetery are ,the graves of only two per;sons who have died natural deaths; the others buried there have been shot or committed suicide.' AN OPPORTUNITY LOST. Story Which Illustrates' Some Curious Russian Ideas. ' Russian peasants have the kind of credulity that arises from a vivid imagination. If you tell one of the, daily life in Paris or in London -of the tubes, the underground railways,: the telephones -he will tell you plainly that you are jesting with him but if you should assert that silver and gold were scattered about the streets, he would believe youimplicitly, for he has heard many stories of` the wealth of the French and the. English. Fairy . tales and miracles are his native', mental fare; facts concern him very e, The average, peasant holds very curious ideas on religion and the will of the Almighty, a characteristic that the author of Petrograd, Past and Pre- sent illustrates by means of an amus- ing story. A droshky driver once drove ,a gentleman to .a certain bank. His fare, who had money and valuable papers with him, pushed them under the cushions for safety:, while he did his business; but on returning he found to his dismay that the roan had driven off, taking with him the port- folio, which contained among other things notes to the value of several thousand. rubles; The owner was, of couree, in a state of great perturbation, and informed the police, who forthwith summoned every day a number of the'thousand drivers . in Petrograd to report them- selves. At last they found the miss- ing one . `and charged him with the theft; but the poor fellow was. astounded, and stoutly denied having taken either the money or the papers. . The police searched the cab, and there, suren h e oh missing g was the in ssmg portfolio with its contents intact. The owner was overjoyed and gave the man a handsome reward. But the droshky driver was dumfounded and could not understand the reason for his patron's generosity,_ When, at last, he, learned that the little leather book had contained a small fortune, his sorrow and disappoint- ment isc p. point- ment knew no bounds: He could not get over his astonishment, and finally Banged himself in disgust at the thought that God had sent him all that money and he had not, taken it: Nol fib^ ROD 1415 LAZY 13:.165 PVT IN Da 'MRI UN ^1=48 Wel" 3Ri "rg 16 H .' 114t<RE V.,ENR`11, Matte UP !6 P0 Vov.
