time, find some word of commentator
for the men who triumphed and those
who rejoice that the murderers
have been caught, and not always speak
of them in terms of contempt. This glori-
fication of men of the Sontag and Evans
stripe has tendency to encourage other
men to attempt to initiate them.

Hunting for a Lost Pocket.

Have YOU ever watched a woman in
the street car put her hand behind her
and run it all over the back Of her
skirt in vain effort 10 find the OPEN
inc to her pocket that she may get her
purse? All the while the conductor
stands before her with one hand out
stretched for the fare. while the other
holds the cord ready TO ring out its re-
ceipt.
How unconcerned She tries to look
while the fruitlesS search goes on. and
how she strives to appear calm and
unembarrassed, while her face turns
red and the perspiration starts out of
every pore-if it happens to be warm
weather.
Then in sheer desperation she stands
UP and finds the lruant pocket, and
presently the purse is produced and
the fare paid. Every eye is gazing
upon her. not with impuieHce. oh no!
bu. simply because the passengers
have nothing else to do. and the least
thing concerning one passenger inter-
ests the others.
! wonder why sensible women-or
at least they seem sensible in other
things than dress-Calmlv submit to
being made the victims Of a fashion?
Why have they not sufficient inde-
pendence to say, Il don't care if the
fashion does demand that | hide my
pocket in the folds of nv skirt or else

risk of its being snatchcd from me. 1

ARE THERE lIASTODONS IN
ALASKA?

The Stickeen Indians positively as
sert that within the last five years
they have frequently seen animals,
which, from the descriptions given.
must be mastodons. Last spring while
out hunting, one Of those Indians
came across a series Of large tracks.
each the size Of the bottom Of a salt
barrel, sunk deep in the moss. He
followed the curious trail for some
miles, finally coming out IN full view
Of his game. As class these Indians
are the brayest of hunters, but the
proportions of this new species Of
game filed the hunter with terror,
and he took to swift and immediate
flight He described the creature as
being as large as post-trader's store,
with great, shining, yeIlOWish white
tusks, and mouth large enough to
swallow aman at single gulp. He
further says the animal was undoubt-
eddy Of the same species as those
whose bones and tusks lie all over
that section Of the country.
The fact that other hunters have
told OF seeing these monsters brows
ing on the herbs up along the river
gives a certain probability 10 the story
over on Forty Mile creek, bones Of
mastodons are quite plentiful. One
ivory tusk nine feet long projects
from one Of the sand-dunes on that
creek, and that single teeth have been
found that were so large that they
would be good load for one man to
carry. | believe the mule-footed hog
still exists; also that live mastodons
play tag with the aurora every night
on Fort Mile creek in Alaska.

James Ferguson, who so essentially

frank and simple record Of the difficult
ties he had to encounter. As boy he
was not strong enough for vigorous
labor and was sent TO a ueighb0r to

was not his only occupation. 1t was
at this time that his attention was
