An Arctic story.

In the spring OF the year 1910,
whaling vessel sailed from the port Of
London upon a voyage 10 the Polar
Seas. Nothing material IL said to have
occurred until their arrival in these sol
itary regions, when il became the duty
OF the crew 10 keep perpetual lookout
upon the horizon in search OF fish.
Whilst Thus occupied, IL was fancied
by one OF the seamen that a sail was
discernable as far 10 the noTthward as
the eye could reach. As the course Of
the whaler was toward the supposed
vessel a mast became gradually disting-
uishable amid the mountain Of ice,
which appeared in that quarter 10
bound the sea. 10 was now summer,
aud the afternoon unusually calm.
whilst the whaler gradually nearod the
object in view. the supposition being
that il was q vessel engaged in operat-
ing upon the blubber in the bay which
would open 10 view upon approaching
nearer 10 the ice.
Upon arriving. however, at the spot,
ID became clear that the vessel was a
wreck embedded in the ice, and could
only be approached with boat. This
having been lowered, the captain aud
several Of the seamen landed upon the
ice and proceeded to the vessel, which
proved to be a brig. The sails we're
furled. very little appeared upoa the
deck. and all the arrangements were
those Of vessel laid mp for a long pc.
rod Of time. Descending TO the cabin
the first object that was seen was q
large Newfoundland dog coiled upou a
mat, aud apparently asleep. Upon
touching the auimal IL was found D. be
dead, and the body frozen 10 the hard
ness OF n stone. Entering the cabin,
was next seen n young lady seated at a
table; her eyes were open, and gazing

A Strange Adventure.

Gen. Shields relates a story OF his
frontier life in Minnesota that has ney-
or been published.
Il had purchased a large tract OF
land in that State" said the veteran.
Upon il was village OF Sioux Ind ans
Of over 100 lodges. One night We saw
an unusual light Illuminating the whole
woods around, and heard the most un-
earthly yells and shouts from the wom-
en- and children. / took a hslf-breed
boy who spoke the language we'll and
proceeded TO ascertain the cause OF the
uproar. On arriving at the camp l wit
messed a most appalling scene. In the
center OF little prairie, about 100 war
riors were stretched upon the ground
by huge fire, smoking with their rifles
at their sides. The squaws with their
hair flying, and crying and yelling like
demons, were circling, whirling. aud
dancing around the FIRE. Each was
armed with pointed stake, which they
kept blazing red by inserting it from
time TO time in the fire. Those they
shook in n most demonical manner at

tree at a short distance from them.

preparation at glance. The Indians

Indians. l told them our soldiers

village. sieze their ponies aud drive
them and their families into the forest.
IL was all in vain. They hardly deign-
ed TO notice my appeal. Finally l
pulled out two gold pieces Of $40 each,
and offered them for the prisoners.
They cried out much whisky, and vot-
ed to receive the money in exchange
for the prisoners. | cut the bands that
tied them to the tree.
The squaws, seeing that they were to
be deprived of the luxury OF torturing
their enemies, turned upon me with
their burning stakes. They looked like
wild animals. only laughed at them.
The Indians smiled and ordered the
women away. The Chippewas stood
by apparently the most unconcerned
spectators. took them home with me
aud placed ample food before them.
Though they had not eaten for two
days, such was their self control that
they ate as sparingly as il they had
eaten an ample dinner. II was partly
from pride and partly from prudence.
The next morning when they took leave
OF me, il was without a sign OF graft
tude for the preservation OF their lives.
I considered them the most thankless
pair Of rascals that ever lived.
Some two weeks later / undertook,
in company with some friends, jour

part OF the State. appealed 10 Hole

braves came to my camp. They were

when they flung themselves upon me
in transport of JOY and delight. They
caught my hands aud intimated that
they were willing 10 places their heads

pride that had prevented them from

The Henoph0ne.

An intelligent farmer, living in Des
Moines county, has invented q heno-
phone, modelled on the principle Of the
telephone by which one old reliable
hen, occupying a central Office in the
henery, sits on all the nests about the
establishment, leaving the other fowls
free to lay eggs, scrath and cackle. As
fast as n new nest contains the full
complement OF eggs, it is connected
with the central Office by q copper wire,
and the business is settled. The only
tronble with the machine is that il sits
50 hard that il matches out the porce-
lain nesteggs along with the others, SO
one chick in every nest is born with
glass eyes, and the farmer has to buy
and train a dog TO lead it around. This
makes it expensive. - Burlington
