r,oned with tho Mule Team.

An amusing incident befell young lady
from near Spring Grove, who came out of
the city from shopping excursion and
boarded the Spring Grove car at Knowl-
toms corner. When she got on, the con-
ductor-driver was not visible, and it being
rather cool she closed the door. The mules
attached to the car, hearing the door close,
which is usual preliminary to tho drivers
Get up here" started off with jerk that
unloosened the brake and soon settled down
into steady jog trot.
The young lady did not notice the alb
sence of the driver until the car arrived at
Dane avenue, her stopping place. She be-
gan to investigate and found to her horror
and dismay that there was no one in charge
of the car and realized that she was the
victim of an elopement, gaunt team OF
mules being parties to the suit. She gath.
cred her packages hastily together and
scrambled off as best she could, leaving the
mules to pursue the even tenor of their way.

UNCLE SANS REINDEER FARM.

Prevent the Eskfmos From Starving.


Prevent the Dsltfmos From Starving.
That the great father in Washington
cares for his people even when they are
the humble Eskimo of Alaska is shown by
the recent importation Of great herd of
reindeer designed to keep them from starv-
ing. Years ago the vast herds of wild rein
deer that roamed the marsby moss covered
tundra of Alaska were exterminated by
injudicious slaughter, and as the walrus,
whale and seal are also rapidly disappear
ing, owing to the inroads Of the rapacious
hunters of the United States and Great
Britain, 1t seemed only matter of a short
time before the natives of Alaska would
be face to face with starvation.
In this emergency DR.. Sheldon jackson
of the National Bureau of Education in
Washington suggested that the govern
ment transport from Siberia tho domesti-
Gated reindeer that are to tho Siberians
what herds of cattle are to the Texan.
His plan met with favor, and DR.. jackson
bought and transported to Alaska herd
Of over 700 reindeer, which, it is expected,
will increase until it will furnish food,
clothing and transportation for the IL, 900
Eskimo who inhabit Alaska and its ada
cent islands.
In one year the herd increased over 200.
1t was at first placed in charge of a colony
Of Laplanders who were imported from ST.
IBERIA, but as they wero homosick and I'M

Do Babies. Eyes Crow

How big is "a young baby's eyer" We
have heard it stated that "a young baby's
eye" is as big as grown persons eye; that
the eye does not grow as the body grows;
that it is the same size when the baby is
born as it is after the baby has grown up to
be a man or woman; that it is born full
size and is then as big as it ever gets to be,
This statement has been submitted to a
number of experts On babies, who generally
agree that "a young baby's eye" grows as
the body grows, though not in the same
ratio.
But is it trueP Authorities are some
times in error. Expert witnesses frequent
ly tangle themselves up in all kinds of con
Trajectory statements of facts. Expert
physicians do not reach the same conclu
sions from identically the same basis Of
reasoning. Expert cotton buyers often
times buy when the slumps in the markets
prove that they should have sold. 1t may
be that the baby experts whom we have
questioned upon the subject of baby eye:
have spoken without due consideration

For Sewing ON n Button.

One day Paul tells his servant to sew
another button on his trousers. An hour
after she brings in the trousers, and with
an undecided, anxious air, rs If fearing
the effect Of her demand, says, "It is o
SOU"
Paul draws out SOU in silence and
gives it to her. Jeanette retires on tip
toe as far as the door, thinks better of it,
returns, takes up tho trousers and shows
the button.
"Ah, that is fine buttonl "a pause. }
l did not find that in my box. (Another
and longer pause.) bought that at the
grocer's. 1t cost sour
She draws herself up anxiously. The
proprietor of the trousers, still without
speaking, gives second sou.
1t is clear that she has struck upon O
mine of sous. Jeanette goes out and o
moment after reopens the door. She
has resolved on her course, and in O
shrill, piercing voice, with admirable
volubility, proceeds:
81 had no thread. I had to buy some
thread. fused good deal of thread
good thread too. The button won't
come off. / sewed it on fast. The
thread cost SOU"
Paul pushes across the table the third
sou.
Two hours later Jeanette, who has
been bordering on tho matter, reap
pears. She prepares breakfast with the
greatest possible care, lowers her voice,
walks noiselessly and is charming in
her little attentions. Then she says,
putting forth all sorts of obsequious
graces:
II ought not to lose anything; you
would not want me to lose anything.
The cloth was harsh. I broke the point
of my needle. did not know it awhile
ago. I have just noticed it. It cost O
SOU"
And that fourth sou was happily the
last.-"A Tour Through the Pyrenees."

superintendent of tho reindeer station.
Kjelmann Is S2 years of age and has had
considerable experience raising reindeer in
Norway.
The plan of tho United States is to lease
small herds of 90 reindeer to tho most sub
stantial citizens of the Eskimo villages
with the understanding that in five years
100 must be returned to tho government.
All the increase above 100 will be the
property of the Eskimo. At the end of five
years the Eskimo should be able to return
100 deer and still have 80 or 40 of his own.
The natives consider the proposition fail
one, and they will without doubt care fol-
the herds more faithfully than they would
If the deer were Civ N them by tho govern.
ment.
When he began carrying out his plan,
DR.. Jackson was told by George Kennan
and others that on account of certain SUI
perstitions the Siberian natives would on
no account sell the government reindeer,
and that even if they did the deer would
not eat food that had been handled and
would die in two days on board a steamer
Happily both predictions proved untrue.

winning Lacl q !. Iie's Love.


1t would certainly appear that very
strange things are enacted in Paris, judg
ing from some of the remarkable occur
rences which take place there. Recently
the commissary Of police in one Of the dis
tricts was interrupted during his dinner by
a young man who in q state of great ex-
element rushed into the Office and ex-
claimed: my wife declares she will leave
me. / would rather diep' He then shouted
out his name and address and plunging q
knife into the region of his heart fell to
the ground bathed in blood.
The wife was sent for and threw herself
on the young mans body, kissing him on
both cheeks and swearing she would neve,
leave him. Whereupon the husband rose
to his feet, wiped the blood off his knife
and said to his wife, That's all right; Their
we will go home" 1t turned out that the
sham suicide had a bladder of blood con
cealed beneath his clothes and had enacted
this comedy in order to regain his wife'i
affection. Boston Traveller.

can do nothing to relieve. There is pain
