c. c. Farr who was with the Hudson Bay
Company fifteen years and who has been
around the head waters of the Ottawa for "A
much longer period is a mine Of interesting
information on All matters pertaining To game
or wild life. He saw mo looking at bark
topce and said that the Indian name for ii was
asohahgan, and that the specimen came from
Lake .AnimauipiSSng
IF had TO got one OF them for he show" he
said and went to an Indian named Peeshahbo
and told him TO give me his Peeshahbo said;
How the blaZcs am going u live for tho rest
Of the wnter| | said: on, man. ycll make
new one But can't peel any bark says he.
Never YOU mind says |: I've got to have it,
and with that took it, and here il is"
Mr. Farr explained that the bark tcpees are
used by tho Indians on their winter hunting
trips They are made in summer from the bark
OF large brcbes, sewed together in sections
measuring about 3 feet by II feet The pole
framework Of the tepee is erected and the bark
bent around before it has dried 50 that it Will
take the proper shape. The free ends of the
bark sections are protected and kept from split
ting by light strips Of wood ono on either side,
which are attached by sewing. Seven Of these
by 10 bark sections arc used in the construc-
tion Of the asohahgan When the Indian moves
his camp the sections arc made into tight rolls
for convenience IN carrying. In erecting the
tcpec the bottom section is put in place first
and two Of the rolls are commonly required TO
reach around. Afterward the other sections are
wound around the cOnc-shapcd framework up
to within a short distance Of the peak The top
is left open for the escape of smoke. The upper
sections lap over the lower shngle fashion, and
all the seams run diagonally with reference to
a vertical line, in such way as to shed water
perfectly.
The sewing is done with wattup. Wattup is
made from the roots of spruce trees. pulled out
by the women and boiled till sOftened. The
brown bark covering is rubbed off, and the roots
split into suitable sizes for sewing. Wattup will
keep for years, and is tougher than moosewood
When wanted for use all that is necessary is
to throw it into water and it becomes pliable
and easily worked.

A. LOUBE1'S Graceful ACT.

HOW HE PAID NEW YEARS CtfI,s WITH Ills
OPPONENT ~ TIE MATORALTY.
A pleasing story has been recalled recently
about a remarkable incident in the early politi-
cal life Of NJ Emile Loubct the new President
of the French Republic. 1t was in 1871. when
a rclctonary Ministry had come into power for
a few months, thanks TO the Indifference OF
the President. Marshal MacMahon. or course
the Secretary Of the Interior, following the
usual traditions in France. where even the May
ors Of cities. towns and villages have to be con-
frned in their offices. and sometimes appointed
by the central Government, fastened TO displace
NJ Loubet who had been chosen Mayor by the
citizens of Monttimar, who were by large
majority strong partisans Of the republic.
The Minister appointed i'm his place his
political adversary, NJ. Messie, "Catonnier"
or president, Of the Lawyers Association,
and a pronounced partisan Of the ultra
Conservative and clerical Government Of
MacMahon, but at the same time an enlightened
spirit and a loyal adversary in the field Of politics
The first motion proposed by the newly installed
Mayor to his Municipal Council was a vote Of
thanks to NJ Loubat for the eminent services
rendered by the latte. to the city, and OF unre-
served praise for his wise administration. The
motion was voted unanimously by the Council.
This at that time of general rancOr between
political parties was proceeding entirely to the
honor Of the two adversaries. Messrs. Messe
and Loubet, but WI followed a lew months
later still mOre C.ie nal. especially when
French habits I'm politics are taken into consid-
Grafton. The reactonary Cabinet had been
overthrow by the popular verdict at the legis-
latiye elections Of October 1917. but the Mayors
had not yet been changed, and NJ. Messe
still at the head Of the Mont6mar admnstra-
tion, waiting TO be replaced formally by his
predecessor, NJ Loubet. lie was therefore still
in Office when he called one morning upon NJ.
Loubet and said: Tomorrow s the 1st of
January. The Mayor has to pay the usual
obligatory visits, and this duty belongs to me-
since | am still in place. But you Mayor in
reality, since you the popular favorite. /
am greatly embarrassed"
NJ Loubet laughed. Il guess your thoughts"
said he. you want to intimate that it is / who
should perform the task"
WELL" said NJ. MessiG, laughing also Il
should not see any Inconvenience In it. for /
find myself I'm a queer situation"
Say" retorted NJ Loubet, moved by the en-
barrassment of his successor, there might be q
way to arrange everything. How should YOU
like it If We both paid these visits together?"
The proposition was enthusiastically accepted.
and there was great stupefaction on the part of
