dow and chimney; and, instead OF
door, there are two low yaulted pas
sages through which it is necessary
to crawl on the hands and knees to
gain admission to the interior. Will
you enter?
The whole interior is begrimed
with smoke. In the centre is lire
on heap of stones, and above the
flames hangs kettle suspended from
the roof by chain. On one side are
number of seats composed of soft rein
deer skins and white WOODEN covers.
On the other side is box-bed, the
family sleeping-place. The beds are
made of birch-leaves covered with
sealskins, the pillows are sheepskins,
and the "quilts" are memberships.
What is that queerlooking thing,
like small coffin, hanging from the
wall? 1t is the baby's cradle; and in
it, wrapped in warm furs, sleeps the
little one, as soundly as any fond
mother might desire. And there is
the Lapp mother,-a little, doll
shaped woman, only about three
feet and seven or eight inches tall.
How queerly she is dressed Over
warm wooden undergarment she wears
leather trousers and long leather
tunic or gown from which the hair
has been partially rubbed. On her
feet are leather boots, which turn up
at the toes and are lined with hay;
and on her head is scarlet, pear
shaped cloth cap. The children
little Ola, Margareta, and Katinka
are dressed much like their mother;
and you cannot tell the boys and
girls apart.
By and by the father stout, sturdy,
ruddy faced Lars-comes in from
caring for his flock of reindeer or
from hunting excursion; and the
supper is got ready and placed upon
the table. There is reindeer's milk
thickened with oatmeal; bears flesh,
broiled or boiled; reindeer meat; rye
bread; milk curds; and reindeer
cheese. Cold water is the only bev-
erage tasted. During the meal the
dogs, of which there are quite mum
Der in every Lapp household, are
fed with milk and water from the
same vessel the Laps are using.
Anon the night comes ON, and
lamp is lighted. The master and
mistress of the CANINE take their
seats near the fire, opposite from the
door,-the place of honor. The child.
rem cluster upon the other side, and
lie at full length beside the hearth.
The mother sews, perhaps a dress of
deerskin for little Nito or new cap
for herself. The father smokes lazily
for while, and then half falls
asleep.
"Oh, Arabic (papa)," cries Katinka,
coaxingly, "tell us the story of Giant
Redhead"
And tired, patient Lars, who knows
all the old legends by heart. clears
his throat, while the dogs slumber
before the cheerful blaze, and good
mother Adnic industriously plies her
needle, and the children listen with
silent awe, he relates the story of the
red-headed giant, which is quite as
famous in the literature Of the Lapps
as Cinderella and her slipper is in
English.
A long time ago there lived a little
boy who was sent by his mother one
day to bring pail of water from the

The Cathedral bazaar has been IN
progress all week. So large was the
quantity Of merchandise which came in
in response to the solicitations Of the
ladies' Of the committees, that much still
remains to be disposed of, and it has
been decided to continue Che fair to-
night, when it will close with an auc-
ton sale. There will also be several
contests to be decided, one of which will
be the awarding of foot ball to the boy
who has disposed of the largest number
of copies of the Pumpkin Seed" Col.
J. c. Decker's bright and newsy paper
of the bazaar, during the week. The
ladies of the supper table will give an
oyster supper. and all the attractions
will be continued. Last night there
was another large crowd, and the re-
CENTS aggregated a handsome sum.
Half-hour concerts were given in the
Irish and All Nations villages The
talking photograph continues to be
big drawing card.
In the basement of the Church Of the
Immaculate Conception, the fair and
festival attracted a big crowd, and to-
night promises TO be d record breaker.
A fishing pond is a new and novel 1ea-
ture, in charge Of a committee of young
ladies. The supper tables appeal with
no uncertain force to the appetites and
purses Of patrons, and the fancy arti-
cles provide many suitable Christmas
presents.
The bazaar in the basement Of st.
Johns Church, in BenwoOd, was at
tended by an immense throng on
Thanksgiving, and last night the crowd
was EQUALLY large.

allowed the Sibleyites to run the
bases until their necks were long
with thirst We made more er-
rors than the. '.gold bugs claim
for Coins Financial School, and
ran bases like a gang Of ll-bearers
or rheumatic procession headed
for the morgue. Couldn't any of
our boys hit a brick wagon with q
pick-ax. If base-hits had been
growing on our necks we couldn't
have reached them with feather
duster. We whistled to Roy Cas-
well, the tally man, for help, but
we couldn't have lifted puff ball.
The game was whiskered and frost
bitten. The "Invincibles" had
their fins sewed up until they
couldn't hold crazy-quilt unless
it was tied around their necks,
and it is our candid opinion that
we can't scrape fog from the moon,
to say nothing about playing ball.

Somebody, we don't know who,
as they forgot to leave their card,
invaded the sacred precincts of the
Observers temple Saturday night

clothes and our shoes, but helped
themselves to package of -laun-
dry. We have since invested in q
pair of "bib-overalls" and hope. to
be able to 60 with the running
team again next season. We are
not mourning over our loss, but it
would be great pleasure to US
if we could interview the culprits,
and ascertain for a certainty
whether or not they were aware of
the fact that we are printer.

This is a wasteful world The
amount of labor lost on a country
newspaper would suffice if other
wise directed. to feed half the
paupers on the globe. Looking
over the country papers each week
what columns Of matter are there
we found the week before. It has
all been rewritten and reset; some
names have been changed, it is
true, and dates; but substan
TALLY it is the same. We have
thought it would be good idea
to write some locals, particularly
personals, and keep them standing,
and then insert names and dates to
suit the occasion

Yes, the Observer was down to
Sibley Friday and played ball!
There is no use to deny it as Matt
Fish was along and he has told
every man he shaved since, all
about the game. From the time
our boys arrived in the city until
they departed they were guests of
the Sibley boys and never were
they more royalty entertained.
They were very kind to US indeed.
One of their hard hitters went up
town during the fifth inning that
our pitcher might "fan him out. !"
One Of their boys laid down
at first base twice that we might
put him out. The unkindest cut
of all, however, we received from
Roy Caswell, who kept the score.
After the game was over we asked
him how the score stood, and he
told us to run away as he was aw-
fully busy.

the company is about to put in at that
