keeper, here. While fishing from q
boat, with companion from Winton,
at Cobb's pond short time ago they
fell into the water aud were obliged to
swim to the shore. In order to dry thoir
clothes they hung them in a
hush In a secluded spot on the banks OF
the pond. The clothes dried sooner
than wss anticipated and were burned
by the fire while the fishermen We're
not looking. This rendered them un-
fit to appear in society so they were
obliged to wait until night when they
went within hailing distance of a farm
house and made known their embaras-
sing condition. The farmer who was
ne kind-heartsd as he was fat gave
each Of them some Of his old clothes
which were much to large for them
and In these they came home. One Of
the fishers lost his watch which was
ruined by the fire.

A family living in North Carolina

their ideas OF hospitality to be obliged
every day TO entertain q tedious wo-
man of SO. The favorite book or the
necessary piece of work had to be put
aside in order TO shout bits OF CONVEX
sation Ia her ear.
At last the father in desperation
planned to 60 into sudden tit OF tenn
per in the presence OF the obnoxious
caller In the hope Of convincing her
that they were not pleasant people to
visit.
Accordingly, one evening, when he
returned from business and found the
old lady present, rs usual, he began to
talk loudly and in nm irritated voice.
Then growing more excited he
stamped about the room, knocking

going out and banging the door after
him.
The old lady knitted away quietly
through the confusion and when the
man was gone sue turned to the family

ence between the Dog Chukchs. the in-
babitants of the shore, and the Rein
deer Chukehs Of the interior. The lat
ter were better clothed and in better
circumstances. Both showed q kind
ness to their auimals unusual Ia semi
savage peoples. The Coast Chukchs
always carried dog shoes, neatly made
Of bags of soft leather. with straps at

by the sharp snow.
The nerd OF Reindeer Chukch came
down from the pasture every morning
to meet their master. The leading
stag came irst. and babe him good
morning by gently rubbing his nose
against his masters hands. All the
other deer were then allowed TO do the
same. the master taking each by the
horn and carefully examining its con-
dition. The inspection over. the
whole herd wheeled and returned to
the pasture. 1t would be difficult to
name another beast OF burden so tame
and so efficient as the reindeer.
A good reindeer will travel 100 miles

the dog by one-half in distance and
two-thirds in drawing power.
