we have mingled with the people

them as far as possible. In many Of

food they did, and sometimes it was
boiled seaweeds and sometimes the in

delicacy is a substitute for bread.

the majority of Indian women are. The

they help one another, and there is
none of the do-nOthing-Indian

settlements they still have the prim-
tive schools. They are conducted in
this way: The children are called to-
gether and first one and then another
old person will give them oral instruc-
ton. They tell them of the wars, the
chiefs and instruct them about the

also taught to cook and to prepare

AN INDIAN MAIDS LOVE.
How New Yorker Met and Mar
ried Chieftain's Daughter.
The Child OF the Union, Miss Hamblet, OF
Seattle, Wash, Tells the Romantic
story-Reads Like a Chapter
from Cooper.

There is a romance wrapped up in
the life of Miss Alice Hamblet, Of
Seattle, Wash, which would have de-
lighted the heart of Fenimore Cooper.
So, of course, it has TO do with Indians,
picturesque Indians.
Miss Hamblet is the granddaughter
of Ne-as-ha-lo-les, the late chief of the
Kitt-so-la-sha, the dominant tribe of
British Columbian Indians She is also
the daughter of New Yorker and so
a descendant of one of the old Knicker-
booker families. This is how Miss
Hamblet came by her ancestry as she
told the story to an Examiner historian
In San Francisco the other day. e
my mother was the only child and
at the death of her father she became
chief of the tribe. She never cared to
assume the Htle-she only cares to help
her people. Being the only daughter
OF a&powerful chief he thought she
should have some education, so he sent
her to the home of his friends Bishop
Cridge, in Victoria. She was only If
teen years old. One day she went fish,
ing by herself. She wore her blanket
pinned over her shoulders and looked
very picturesque, my father says. he
happened to be walking by tho
side of the stream when he
spied her. She caught fish so
cleverly that he became interested, and
after watching the process for awhile
fell desperately in love with her. You
know the Indians have theory that
people know the instant they encounter
their fates. 1t was so with mother.
The first glance told her he was the
hero of her life. Three months after
ward they came to this city with their
friends and were married. The mar
rage displeased her father, who had
engaged her to a young chief in the
northeast. After their marriage they
visited the old Indian home, but my
grandfather never allowed his son-in-
law to sit at the family table. He's a
nice man. he said, but he has never
distinguished himself in battle-he
cannot eat with chiefs

MAKING CATS USEFUL.

In Germany They Are Employed In
stringing Electric Wires.
Let it not be said hereafter that the
domestic cat is nuisance and only fit
to keep mice away and old maids from
getting lonesome in their declining
years. Let the irate sufferer from in
somnia restrain his anger in the future
and bear with the katzenmusik of his
back yard, for if his bootjack hits one
of the feline songsters he is respon-
sible for the death of a creature which
might prove of incalculable usefulness
in the modern state of subterranean
things. At last qualities have been
discovered in the. cat which render it
of service to modern industry. In the
large cities of Germany, where all tel
.egraph, telephone and electric wires
must be laid underground, the wirc-
stringers have found the cat to be an
indispensable adjunct to their business.

and color, which can be bought at
present at ridiculously low figure so
so long as the market Is overstocked.
AJlunierground wires, of course, are
stretched in long, narrow iron tubes
with open spaces at long intervals into
which the inspectors can descend and
investigate the lines at any time.
After the pipes are laid it takes but
two well-trained cats to string a line
through the length and breadth of the
city. The wire is attached to a collar
or string around the neck of the cat.
AS soon as the cat is pushed into the
narrow tube it finds it impossible to
turn its body around and is compelled
to either lie still or crawl out at the
other end. 1t has previously been
trained in smaller tubes and finally it
has learned to crawl through the long
est pipes. Sometimes, however, there
is trouble. Cats are notional and they
will fear danger and remain in some
spot of the conduit. Then all sorts of
means are used to scare it forward.
Pistols are shot off and long sticks are
poked in the pipe, but usually even
novice at the business will give no such
trouble and thousands of miles of wire
have already been laid and repaired
in this manner by these little an
imals In England badger dogs are
used for this purpose. These are more
willing and smarter, but they are not
able to crawl like the cat through the
narrowest pipes.

A CnrIous Electrical Clock.

At Leeds, England, there is an cleo
trio clock which has been continually
ticking off the time since 1910. 1t is a
queer-loolIing Theological instrument,
without either springs or weights, and
only having three wheels. 1t was
made by James Smith, an optician and
a relative of the present owner, Mr..
Edward Smith, jeweler. Mr. Smith
says that the motive power of this
queer clock is natural electricity"
neither cell nor battery being used.
1t is kept going by brass cylinder,
containing ~ miles of fine coiled cop
per wire, the whole being attached to
the lower end of the pendulum, which
moves back and forth over a plag-
netized steel bar This is probably
the only clock in the world which is
driven by the pendulum, instead of
vice versa.

GOV. GEORGE W. PECK.
Nominated for Third Term by the Dem
ocrats of Wisconsin.


Gov. George w. Peck, who has been
nominated for the governorship of
Wisconsin for the third time, was born
in Henderson, jefferson county, \. Y,
September %, 1910. His family re-
moved to Wisconsin in 1s43. He at
tended the common schools until fif-
teen years old; then he learned the
printers trade, and in 1861 he became
a newspaper proprietor, but later en-
tered the army and served until the
close of the war. In 1897 he was elected
city treasurer of Ripon, Wis, and in
1872 was appointed chief of police at
La Crosse. In 1874 and 1875 he was
chief clerk of the Wisconsin assembly.
After having three years of Journalistic
experience in New York, he returned
to Milwaukee, where he started the
humorous paper known as Peck's Sun.
In April, $780, he was elected mayor by
the democrats of Milwaukee, but re-
signed in December of the same year,
having been elected governor Of Wis

Not many of Che BARRIERS understand the
hot towel shave. To be done properly,
not one towel alone, nor two, should be
applied, butt at least half a dozen, COM
plotely covering the face with the steam
ing cloth, each towel being replaced as it
becomes cool with another fresh from the
hot water faucet. A dreamy languor creeps
over the senses.
On the hottest day In summer, as well
as the coolest in winter, one goes forth
feeling much better for his steaming. The
philosophy of this new adaptation Is this:
The hot towel draws the blood away from
the brain 20 the face, making in summer
the skin much warmer than the air, which,
when the towel Is withdrawn, strikes the
skin cool and refreshing
In winter the blood offers the same re-
sis;ancc 10 the cold as IL it were heated by
exercise, and the unpleasant chapping Of
the skin which sometimes follows the old
fashioned shave is obviated. The steam
also removes the oil which eXudcs from
the skin and leaves the complexion clear
and fresh. therefore person feels better,
thinks better, talks better and works bet
ter after the towel skave.-Philadelph
