BULLETIN
JUNE ON THE GREAT LAKES.
Restful, delightful, interesting, and instructive, there is
notriplikethatonthe Great Lakes, those inland seas which
form the border line between the United States and Canada.
And June is one of the most charming months in the year in
which to take the trip.
Forcomfortthefinepassenger steamships of the Anchor
Line have no superiors. As well appointed as the palatial
ocean grevhounds which plow the Atlantic, their schedule
allows sufficient time at all stopping places to enable the
traveler to see something of the great lake cities and to view
in daylight the most distinctive sights of the lakes, and the
scenerv which frames them.
The trip through the Detroit River, and through Lake
St. Clair, with its great ship canal in the middle of the lake,
thence through Lalte Huron, the locking of th steamer
through the great locks at the Soo, and the passage of the
Portage Entry, lake and canal, across the upper end ol
Michigan are novel and interesting features.
The voyage from Buffalo to Duluth covers over eleven
hundred miles in the five days' journey. Leaving Buffalo,
the steamships Juniata and Tionesta, make stops at Erie,
Cleveland, Detroit, Mackinac Island, the Soo, Marquette,
Houghton and Hancock, and Duluth.
The 1908 season opens on June 16, when the Steamer
Tionesta will make her first sailing from Buffalo.
The Anchor Line is the Great Lake Annex of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, and the service measures up to the high .
standard set by the "Standard Railroad of America."
An illustrated folder, giving sailing dates of steamers,
rates of fare, and other information is in course of prepara
tion, and may be obtained when ready from any Pennsyl
vania Railroad Ticket Agent, who is also prepared to book
passengers who may desire to take this trip through the
Great Lakes and back.
A GREATGOLD SCARE
When the Yellow Metal Was
First Found In Australia.
AFRAID OF THE CONVICTS.
The English Government Tried to nd

then composed the I111 lance of the pop

It was retired Hint n eeiierul iipi'lslnu

Nevertheless the first (told round In
Australia was by convicts. In 1811,
near Butlnirst, New South Wales. The
discoverers gathered together a quan
tity quite sufficient to lead them to be
lieve that they hnd round n gold mine,
but when they reported what they con

ommend them for pardon or easing

If they ventured again to say a word
about the matter or to spend any more
time picking up gold. The next find
was made on the Hsu river In IH2;J,
not fur from the spot where the con
victs had come across It nine years lie
fore. This news, being reported to the
authorities, was also ordered mis
pressed. Within the course of the next
two years llnds were so frequent that
the Loudon government began to take
great Interest lu the affair. Hut the
fact that another region of the yellow
metal might bo at the disposal of such

until lu 1S25 a dramatic Incident pre

stoutly held to his original title. At
length he wns takeu nut nud reverely
flogged In public as n thief. There Is
now no doubt that the tniin told the
truth. After this, although the public
wns every uow nnd then keyed tip t 1
treat expectations by some repurtM
find, no further veins were discovered
until 1830, when a Russian nubleinun
found a rich deposit In the 111 11 0 moun
tains. The Itrltlsh government again
became fenrfttl of the consequence f
such news upon a colony or convicts
nnd ordered the mailer suppressed.
Yet sufficient people hnd heard of It to
keep the story alive und give credence
to such rumors as arose from time to
time. So matters drifted on. VTIino
and time again btislnueti, shepherds,
convicts and surveyors picked up small
nuggets and brought them to the cen
ters or population, but at that day peo
ple were nothing like so keen on gold
mining as they subsequently became,
nnd the subject or gold In Australia
wns not pursued as one would expect
It to be.
The discovery ot gold In California
changed nil that. Tlioso rich fields,
panning out (heir golden store and till
ing the coffers of lucky Individual:!
and governments ut a rale never
dreamed of, awakened 11 tu!rnl for
prospecting itll the world over. In
every part of lite earth men weut out
with pick and pan, Inplng to cou:.
across tlio precious metal.
When the tiews of California's for
tune reached Australia, many tools
ship to America's shores, and among
these wns Hammond Ilurgreaves, 11:1
Englishman, native of Uosport, who
hnd emigrated to New South Wales In
18.12. lu Australia he engngcd ' In
farming without much profit and was
among the first to rush for Cnllfornln.
Cu reaching the auriferous regl n fie
first thing that struck him was the
similarity of the geological formation
In California nnd Bathurst, Australia,
nud there and then he made up his
mind to Inquire Into the subject should
he ever return to Australia. lie work
ed for something like n couple of years
In California nnd then set salt for New
Smith Wales. Ileturnlng, be of course
carried In his mind the thought that
perhaps there might bo gold In Unth
urst, and when he landed be set to
work to make a thorough search.
Ilefore this, however, he had made
the acquaintance of William ami James
Toms and J. II. O. Lister, who were
anxious to prospect for gold. Ilnr
grcaves taught them how to use pick
and pan, the dish nnd the cradle In
fact, gave them a practical If rough
education Into the mysteries of gold
and gold bearing rocks and gravel
These men struck out, nnd In April.
1851, the three pupils relumed to their
old master, and, lo, In their pockets
they carried gold to the amount of
four ounces! Ilnrgreaves. knowing the
ropes, took this gold and full direc
tions to the proper quarter. The uews
went forth, the rush began, rich finds
were made, nnd Hargrenves was hail
ed as the discoverer of gold In Aus
tralia. In renllty he had won the title,
for It was his knowledge that first ed
ucated the Tonises nnd Uster, nnd It
wns his knowledge again that sent
them In the right direction.

HOW WIFEY ECONOMIZED.
She Was Getting Tired of Cooking
. When He Called Off New 8cheme.
"Jim, dear, may I have n new coat?
I saw tho dearest one downtown to
day." "I have something to tell you, sweet
heart," I said lu n sepulchral tone. "1
have lost a large sum of money lu
Wall street. Vt'e nro very poor now.
I hardly know how to make both ends
meet."
"Oh, yon poor boy!" she cried. "How
1 wish I could help you!"
"You can," I replied, "by economis
ing." "Oil, dear," she sighed, "that Is such
a horrid way! If I could only earn
some money some way It would be so
much nicer. I know what I'll do!" she
exclaimed suddenly. "1 know Just the
loveliest way to help you, and it will
be such fun too."
"How?" 1 asked.
"I will discharge Mary and Agnes
and do all the housework myself."
"Hut I do not want you to do that,"
I objected. "You can help enough by
not buying so many hats nnd dresses
nnd things."
"Now, Jim," she protested In a hurt
tone, "It Is real mean of you to talk
like that Just os If I were extrava
gant. Why, thut old rug of a dress 1
have now I liuve worn for perfect ages,
nud thut hat I have had only two since
Christmas."
"Three," t corrected.
"Oh, yes, counting that little rainy
day hat, but that did not cost anything
at all."
"Itenwlck & Co. seemed to think so,"
I replied dryly. "At least they sent
me a fair shied bill for It. If they
made a mistake"
"Don't bo horrid, Jim," she Interrupt
ed severely. "Anyway, I urn going to
do whnt I said. We can have awfully
nice things to ent too. ' I know lots of
perfectly delicious things to have
things that au ordinary cook would
never think of."
For n week the head of the house
acted as chef of our establishment, and
when the bills came in I realized that
a month of her catering would bank
rupt me in earnest. I decided upon a
ruse.
"1 guess the (lnnnclul crisis has
passed," I said, with a fine bluff at
cheerfulness, when I came home the
next day. "With your help I have
pulled through, and we are on our feet
again. So you will not have to do the
housework any more.'
The head of the house was delighted.
"Oh, isn't that splendid!" she cried.
I agreed that It was.
"I really am getting a little tired of
cooking," she confessed. "Besides,
now I can get Hint new cont." Bo
