Gravedigger Lost His Job.

when l was a boy" said the vet
eran, as he pulled on his strong cigar
after dinner, 81 remember there was
country place-because a temporary
gravedigger, who had been hired to do
the work when the regular hand was
Ill, buried a man with his feet to the
west. Ours was religious, as we'll as
a superstitious, town. Among the older
people there was a well-grounded be-
lief that a person must be inferred with
his feet to the east, so that when Ga
briefs trumpet should sound for the
final awakening the dead should be
able to face the angel on arising. This
new gravedigger couldn't have known
the tradition, or he would not have
flown in the face of superstition and
buried his victim with his feet to the
west. The thing made such a scandal
that they actually disinterred the body
and turned the coffin around so that
the dead man should rest in the right
position. OF course, the new gravedig-
ger lost his job. | don't know that
have thought of the incident for a long
time, until | had to go to Woodlawn
cemetery a short time ago to attend
the burial Of a friend Then, for the
first time, 1t dawned on me that there
had been change in the superstition,
and that it had probably been wholly
lost to sight, as have so many of the old
ones. l noticed that the direction in
which bodies are buried now seems to
be settled by the direction of the path
in front Of the plat you own; that Is,
that interments are made with the feet
pointing toward the path, no matter in
what compass direction they may
point. New York Times.

The mother otter nurses her babe in
her arms. and they sleep on their backs
in the water. When frightened or sus-
picious they keep only their noses and
eyes out of the water.
when the hunters start out each is
armed with n rifle, and each man uses
marked bullets, that may be identified
after they are fired. When the nose of
an otter is sighted the man finding it
gives a signal to the nearest boatman,
and in few moments the little feet is
surrounding the creature. When the
great circle Is complete as may be the
nose of the animal may be a thousand
yards from the nearest marksman. A
shot is fired at the black spot on the
water and 1t disappears. The animal
is capable Of diving 1900 feet under
water, and it may not come up for
many minutes, but If the circle is well
formed it Is not likely to break the line.
''The instant the nose appears again
another shot or two is sent after it,
and the boats close In on the circle.
Time and again 1t comes up, only to be
frightened down again, each time for a
shorter period. AS 1t weakens and
grows short of breath the otter raises
more and more of it's head out of the
water, until finally it is good target
for the hunters AS soon as 1t Is in
range the Indians begin to take careful
aim. Finally lucky shot kills the
creature, and the whole party lands.
THE otter is skinned at once and the
shots that may have struck it are fol-
lowed until the bullet is found. The
rules Of the hunt are that SO from the
skin shall go to the man who sighted 1t;
50 each shall go to the other nine men
in the party, while the one whose
marked bullet evidently killed the ami
NAL gets all the rest. There is seldom
any disagreement in these parties,
either.
Sometimes an otter killed on land
may have several bullet holes In his
skin, but these holes are no damage to
the fur, as the furrier closes them east
ly from the back. Ordinarily, now,
when one hide has been secured the
whole party goes back to the trading

LABOR NOTES.

The long strike of the electrical
workers in Texas is drawing to close,
one of the two concerns fighting the
union having granted all the strikers
demands. The other is expected to
yield soon. The struggle has been on
for six months and stretched over hun
dreds of miles of territory.
Dayton Central Trades Council and
a number of the local unions refused to
appeal to the United States senate to
pass the eight-hour bill. On the con-
trary, resolutions were adopted
couched in strong language, declaring
in substance that hereafter they would
vote for what they wanted instead Oh
begging for it.
The Building Trades Council of Ia
coma, composed of carpenters, plumb
ers, painters, bricklayers and electrical
workers, has declared it to be an in
fringement of the rights of sister
union to permit sub-contracting OF
Singing or any other part of the car
penter trade.

post. The Indians are much shrewder
traders now than they were once. They
have need to be. They may take the
hide to every dealer in the post and still
be dissatisfied. In such a case they
pick upon some squaw TO take the pelt
to another post-maybe even to Daw-
son. They would not trust a man to
do it, for he would be almost certain to
get drunk. The squaws are almost
universally honest and dependable,
and the hunters count on every penny
of returns save the necessary expense
incurred. Sometimes the Indians make
money by this; sometimes they don't.

who had killed it, and she was quite

Is full of deer.
Once the moose and caribou were in
great herds, but they have thinned
greatly. After Sept. the mountain
sheep gather in bands and even yet as
many as 300 may be found In a flock.
The moose and caribou, however, are
seldom more than twenty-five in a
herd and they are exceedingly shy and
difficult to kill.
THE territory needs good, pract-
cal game law that could be enforced.
That enforcement would be difficult,
however. Among the thousands of adj
venturers In the territory there are
many who kill game wantonly. The
Indians, too, have no regard for the
preservation of species.
THE fish supply of the country is

Of course, have to be let GO as they

ply will be cut into heavily in a few
years. All other kinds of shell-fsh
save oysters abound in these Alaskan
waters. 1t is only matter of time
when Alaska will be supplying the
United States with fish. Just how long
it supplies will depend upon how the
sources of supply are treated by the
fishermen. There are no reptiles Of
any kind in Alaska, not even turtles,
lizards, or frogs. There are a few
toads, however"
