HAVE LEGENDS OF FEO0D.


The Norton sound Eskimos have .
legend that in the first days the earth
was flooded except a high mountain
in the middle. The water came up
from the sea and covered all the land
except the top of this mountains; only
a few animals were saved. which es-
capped by going up the mountain side.
few people escaped by going into
the Umiak and subsisting on the fish
they caught until the water subsided.
Finally, as the waters lowered, the
people who were saved went to live
upon the mountains, eventually de-
scending to the coast; the animals
also came down and replenished the
earth with their kind. During the
flood the waves and currents cut the
surface of the land into hollows and
ridges, and then as the water receded
1t ran back into the sea, leaving the
mountains ana valleys as they are to-
day.
Legends similar to this are widely
spread among other Eskimos of the
coast of Behring sea.

THE HORSES FRIEND
Mrs. Conover, Widow Of an Ameri-
can, Works a Reform at Paris.
~ Determined and Persistent Effort
she Puts a Stop to the shameful
Abuse of Horses by
Cabbiee.

Thanks to woman Paris enjoyed
an unusual spectacle the other day.
when several thousand city cab driv-
ers were the guests of the Society for
the Protection of Animals at a public
banquet This function was the di-
rect result of the individual efforts of
Mrs. Anna Conover. Though Danish
by birth, she is the widow of for
mer resident of Washington who was
once secretary of the American lega-
tion in Madrid.
Mrs. Conover was for many years
resident of London. where she be-
came local celebrity as the manager
of the Olympia theater. Retiring
from theatrical life few years ago.
she settled in London, where she was
prominent in many humane and phil
anthropics societies. Coming to Paris
in October last for a brief visit. she
was Mortified at the cruel treatment
of the horses. She talked to every
body and wrote to the newspapers,
urging a citizens movement to abate
the cruelty. She met on all sides the
same reply:
There's no use of doing anything.
It is impossible to correct the evil.
Frenchmen are instinctively cruel to
animals"
Cndiscouraged. Mrs. Conover began
a vigorous campaign. Alone she Wis
tied the prefect Of police and obtained
the issuance of orders to arrest coach
men maltreating their horses. Then
she paraded the principal thorough
fares. alert for every cracking whip.
However crowded the roadway. Mrs.
Concver was undeterred. When she
ordeEed an arrest policemen found
that no trifling was allowed.
Instead of returning to London she
remained here until every policeman
and every cabbie on the boulevards
knew her at the first glance. Her
fame soon spread. until the constant
reiteration by the newspapers of the
work she was doing won the English
speaking colony's cordial support.
Then many DANES of the Faubourg st.
German became; interested and lent
the prestige of their names to the
movement. At this iunct%re some
body discovered there was a society
for the protection of animals already
existing. Shamed' into action. this or
ganization fell into line behind Mrs.
Conover. who finally conceived the
project of Appearing to the hearts of
the 10000 Paris cal bmen through their
stomachs. Wednesdays banquet was
the result. Prizes were distributed to
those cabbies tenderest to their tired
steeds.

DOG REscUEs A HORSE.
Chews Halter in Two and Leads the
Animal from u Burning
Building.

Bruno, St. Bernard dog belonging
to Joseph Baldwin, of Race street,
Bloomfield, n. j., is regarded as a hero
by the citizens of that place. The
other night there was a fire in the
Baldwin stables. The dog gave the
alarm by barking and by scratching
at the door of its masters home.
There were two valuable horses in the
stables. The dog was friendly with
them, and was almost beside himself
with excitement until Baldwin broke
open the stable door. He managed to
release one horse and lead it out into
the yard, and, going back to get it's
mate, he was astonished to see the
dog with the dangling end of halter
rope in its mouth, leading the second
horse out through the flames and
smoke. Investigation showed that the
dog had chewed the rope and released
the horse.

of President McKinley's death, made
the following statement: This is
dreadful news, and the more cruel be-

and comforting expectations which
all our people were encouraged to
entertain that their president would
be saved from death. In the affective
gloom surrounding this third presiden-

men not yet old, we can scarcely keep

amazement that in free America,
