The Tame Reindeer.

When we reached camp, little Wanak, q
boy of 9 or 10, was playing with his rein
deer. There is an old reindeer, capital
animal in team, who is 4 perfect slave
TO the child. He will follow him about
like dog, and Wanak spends most of his
day bullying this old deer. First of all he
swaggers out with his fathers walk.
Then with his little di-zha Qasso) he
makes many shots at the old deer, who
does not protest, until at last he manages
TO get it by the horns. Then he harnesses
and unharnesses it for hour after hour.
The boy is not strong enough TO lift the
dcer's legs, and that is Il very important
part of reindeer management, but this
matters little, for the old deer understands
the game, and at q touch from Wanak lifts
its legs itself. How many times this per-
Torrance is gone through in the course Of
a morning it would be hard to say, yet the
good old deer never loses patience. A.

AN UNIQUE SCHEME.
A Novel Enterprise Furnished by New England
Telephone Company Last Week.

During the progress OF the knights
Templar parade at Boston, Tuesday, an
unique scheme was put into execution by
the New England Telephone Company
The Boston Herald speaks of the mat
ter as follows:
"Next to Col. Fry, Gen. Lawrence S
principal aide was the branch line put
In for the occasion by the New England
Telegraph and Telephone Company. lie
was busy all the time, but never SO busy
as not to prove itself a prompt, faithful
and reliable orderly.
1T was the first time that the telephone
was ever called into play in Boston as the
means of directing the movements of q
big parade, and it proved an unqualified
success. 4 hundred mounted aides could
not have done the work of this single line
of wire ana the corps of men provided for
the occasion
Eight stations were established. No.
I was at the corner of Berkeley street and
Commonwealth avenue; No. 2, at the
Brunswick No. 3 at Columbus square
No. at Blackstone square; No. at the
Columbia Theatre; No. at the Boston
Theatre; No. at the reviewing stand,
Adams square; and No. at S. S. Pierce IS
corner.
AT each station, which, by the way.
was located about halfway up some big
telegraph pole, was placed an expert
operator. Nearby, on terra firma, was
one of the staff of the grand marshal. Ii
Gen. Lawrence wanted to give an order,
he stated it to Col. Fry, who, in return,
delivered it to the nearest operator. In
second it was received at each station. AS
each commandery passed given point It's
passage was announced by the nearest
opcrator. In this way Gen. Lawrence not
only directed the movements of the i'm
mense body of men under his command,
but kept himself thoroughly Informed OF
their whereabouts.
This experiment will probaly call the
telephone into requisition on large
narades in the future
The service was presented to the Knights
bv the telephone company, which not only
sGrupg tho necessary wire, but detailed 20
of its best men to see that everything went
off without hitch. The fact that there
was no hitch is largely due to the personal
oversight Of Supt George Albree, Asst.

Construction J. A. Mccoy"

A Strange Numbness.

From Journal and Tribune, Lawrence,

1t was newspaper article that caused
Mrs. r. L. Whipple, who was stopping at
1856 Pennsylvania, St, Lawrence, Kan,
to try a medicine for which were claimed
valuable qualities for diseases and all
ments that seemed to fit her case. She
was then living in Michigan and it was
some time before she got around to taking
the medicine, but in December, 1893, she
began and has since that time become "a
veil woman. Mrs. Whipple never tires
telling about the remedy that helped her
so much and when called on by the re-
porter was glad TO give the desired in
formation about her case.
She said that in December, 1898, she
first commenced to use DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People At times she
would be so dizzy headed and so very ner-
vous tha5 she could hardly get around.
She had spells of numbness, pin stuck
into her body producing 10 feeling what

in justice 10 the proprietors DOES she glad
ly d. this on every occasion, but that
those similarly afflicted may learn where
to 10 k for "a remedy for every nervous
di.ease. She recommends the Pink Pills
highly and rhinks that they also cured
her 0f nervousness.
Mrs, Whipple is getting we'll along i'll
years, aud for a time WAS almost helpless
When she began taking Pink Pills hes
youth seemed TO return and she was
strong and hearty again. She lives at
