In that old country, Siberia, the Koraks
build their log huts with large round hole
in the middle of the roof, perhaps twenty
feet above the floor; and this is chimney,
door, window, all in one. A long log with
holes cut in it is set up like ladder through
the hole, and up and down these stairs travel
all the family-men, women and children
with the smoke from the fire of wood and
peat, or moss, which is built upon a little
circle of fiat stones in the middle of the hut.
The korak babies don't get out for an air
ing very often, even in summer, but as soon
as they can toddle about the hut the peep of
blue sky and sunshine they get through that
wonderful hole makes them try TO climb the
pole that they may see all that is to he
seen from the top. These funny looking lit
tie fur-clad Koraks are pretty good climbers
by the time they are or years old.
Outside the hut is another ladder pole
which isn't much needed in winter however
for then the snow piles up and hardens with
the singing cold, until, if Santa Claus were
only there with his reindeer team he could
ride up the roof and straight down chimney
easy enough.
The Korak's poor dogs, who live outside,
have nice time then, for they climb to the
top of the chimney just to sniff the savory
smells that come up from the meat that is
cooking so temptingly under their noses.
Sometimes, in their scrambling and quarrel
ing for the best place, one of them will drop
down the chimney, and most lucky dog he
may think himself if he doesn't drop into the
great soup kettle on the tire.-Detroit Free

has pro luced Il profound and universal con-
viction of bikes guilt Justice Butts, in
summing up, described the respond
ent's statements as clear, distinct,
and substantial, and said they
compelled him to conclude that the
adultery charged was actually committed.
If the woman had been put on the witness
box and had given the same testimony, there
would have been evidence against Dixie
Dilkes position was further damaged by
bis refraining from giving testimony, The

in life from which no man is free
was taken As a frank admission that
Dixie was unable TO give an explanation.
The trial has caused a painful impression
throughout the country in REGARD to the
state OF society morals.
The concensus of opinion is that the filthy
revelations made in the trial and the failure
to attempt either to deny or disprove the
hlrges against him have practically ruined
