RETURNED TO HIS OLD HOME
1t Didn't Like Indian Territory and
Tramped Back to Illinois.

When Mrs Frances Lee and family,
residing eight miles east of Yer
sailleS, left about one ago overland for
Vinita, l. T., they were accompanied
by the faithful old shepherd watch dog
Carlo. The dog has arrived at a ripe
old age and, though unaccustomed to
travelling long distances and averse to
giving up his East Morgan home and
friends, he stood the trip well and
without a murmur. Three days Of life
in Indian territory sufficed, however,
for Carlo. He simply shook the Vini-
ia dust from his feet and footed it back
to Morgan, arriving at his old home
about a week ago. Our informant, ny
Madole who saw Carlo the day Of his
return and read a letter from Vinita
Of his mysterious disappearance after
three days sojourn there, says the dog
was footsore, tagged out and hungry
as a-dog. He was happy, though, at
being home again, and showed his ap-
probation by the canine smile and
wag of tired tail. "sssfA.s

Some Requirements That VIII De Found
Indispensable.

Indispensable.
The universe! article Of diet in that
country, depended upon and indispens-
able, is bread or biscuit. And to make
the bread and biscuit, either in the
camp or upon the trail, yeast cannot be
used-it must be baking powder; and
the powder manufactured by the pro-
cesses of the Royal Baking Powder
Company, miners and prOspectors have
learned, is the only one which will
stand in that peculiar climate of cold
and dampness and raise the bread and
biscuit satisfactorily.
These facts are very important for
every one proposing to go to Alaska
and the Yukon country to know, Tor
should he be persuaded by some out
filter to take one of the cheap brands
Of baking powder, it will cost just as
much to transport it, and then when
he opens it for use, after all his labor
in packing it over the long and difficult
route he will find a solid caked mass
or lot OF spoiled powder, with no
strength and useless. Such a mistake
might lead to the most serious results.
Alaska is no place in which to expert
ment in food. or try to economic with
your stomach. For use in such a
climate, and under the trying and
fatiguing conditions of life and labor
In that country, everything must be
the best and most useful, and above
all it is imperative that all food sup
plies shall have perfect keeping quail

difficult and expensive routes an arti-
Gle that will deteriorate in transit, or
that will be found when required for
use to have lost a great part OF its
value.
There is no better guide to follow in
these matters than the advice OF those
who have gone through similar expert
ence. Mr. McQuesten. who is called
"the father of Alaska" after an expert
ence of years upon the trail. in the
camp. and in the use of every kind OF
! supply, says: I'VE find in Alaska that
| the Importance of proper kind OF
! baking powder cannot be overestl-
/ mated A miner with a can Of bad
/ baking powder is almost helpless IN
Alaska. We have tried all sorts, and
have been obliged TO settle down to use
nothing but the Royal. 1t is stronger
and carries further at first, but above
all things, it is the only powder that
will endure the severe climatic changes
Of the arctic region" ~s4..e
1t is for the same reasons that the
United States government in its relief
expeditions, and Peary, the famous
arctic traveller, have carried the Royal
Baking Powder exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will not
cake nor lose its strength either on
board ship or in damp climates, and is
the most highly concentrated and eff
cient Of leavening agents. Hence 1t is
Indispensable 10 every Alaskan outfit.
It can be had of any of the trading
companies in Alaska. but should the
miner procure his supplies before leav-
ing, he should resist every attempt Of
the outfitter to palm off upon him any
of the other brands of baking pow
der, for they will spoil and prove the
/ cause Of great disappointment and
trouble. s-sD.n

Longevity of Animals.

1t is said that the giant tortoise OF
the Seychelles Islands Is the longest
lived animal in the world. The known
age Of one now living is $50 years. and
this dates from the time the creature
was full grown. How old it was at
the time of its capture no one is able
TO conjecture. A fine specimen has
been presented to the Geological So
.-iety of London. 1t weighs about
