This is practically what he was offered by the railway company before the action was raised, and he has now to bear the burden of the cosis which is very considerable. The arbitrators’ fees alone work out to about $1,260 at the vate of $25 per day for each ar- bitrator for each day in session. Besides this there are the costs for bringing witnesses from ail parts of the country. This runs to fully another $1,000 or $1,200. And then there are the fees of counsel to be paid. These, it may safely be assumed, will not scale much below the expenses of wit- nesges, and may perhaps be con- siderably more. —News.

SWEENEY—ADVENTURER Bill Sweeney had led a checkered career, but his record waa of the hest; when a helping hand was required by man ‘twas Sweeney who stood the test, Sweeny was one of the- Telegraph crew, a lineman at the Fourth; his hair he tore, by hig beard he swore no long- er he'd stay in the North. Sweeney had learned the telegraph code; the language of Morse he knew: but the frosty nights and the northern lights had made him very blue, The lonely life on the Telegraph trail was not of the best, he’d decide. And com- ing in late, from s ‘mush delate’’ he'd ruminate with pride— ‘“T'm Sweeney, descendant of Scot- land’s king who reigned in the year of Three; my blood is blue the whole way through—who has not heard of me? I came to the north from the Firth of Forth; the pastis at my bark, I’ve worked on trails; I’ve carried mails and none can say I’ve slacked. [’ye run eanoss with Siwash crewa through canyons, bara and shoals; I’ve dug all night, by a “bug’s’’ dim light, on alone atill-hunt for gold. Once was I a scout for abunch, and outon the trail for many aday, A battle we fought, and the enemy taught our laws they must obey—Oh, this northern life is full of strife; but the thing that makes me quail, when thoughts are rife, ia this lonely life on the Yukon Telegraph Trail.’’ Sweeney could stand the strain no more; each thought was voiced aloud, ‘“‘When alone man starts talking it’s time to be walking; Idon't want to go ‘out’ ina shroud.’ So the very next day he would start away for the South, and the lights of town and he threw a curse at the universe and the maun- tain’s rugged frown. He hit the trail, with o ragged sail wrapped ‘round his toboggen's load. He cracked his whip at the lead dog, Zip, and was off on the lonely road. He would camp at night by the north star's light; start on at the break of day, till he came at last to the placa where he'd pass the rest of the winter away. In ‘the lighted H}town, with luxury ‘round; H lot life on the its aporta and .its weekly mail, you'll hear Sweeney sing, with a voice that rings, Telegraph Tra, Gragett of the Third, and Norway aiso taking a 88 | ‘Take notice that non-perishable goods.
