WOULD CHECK SLAUGHTER
OF DEER IN ALASKA

TACOMA, Dec 16.-George Simmons, a
San Francisco fur dealerswho visits Alas
ka every season, is heading a movement
having for its object the protection of the
deer of Alaska from butchery by hunters,
who take only the skins, leaving the car
casses to decay. Simmons declares that
if this continues deer will become very
scarce throughout the more settled por-
ions of Alaska He wants Congress to
pass a law prohibiting the expectation of
deeTskins from the Territory. At some
seasons deer hides sell for only 30 cents
each, but even at that price the Indians
Slaughter the animals in great numbers
While Simmons was at Wrangel recently
two Indians came in with 400 skins of
deer which they had killed in less than a
month.
Simmons has interested Congressman
Kahn of California and Congressman Sui
zer of New York in the proposed law and
on his recent trip obtained a letter from
Governor Brady, indorsing his plan. This
letter will be forwarded to Congressman
Kahn. With this start, it is believed
there will be little difficulty in getting
the desired measure through Congress.
Without such a law prospectors will nor
long be able to depend upon deer meat as
one Of their means of sustenance.

sweethearts and what the sweethearts
were writing to the boys.
Sarah was acquainted with the contents
of every letter that passed through the
Potrero postoffice and was intelligently in

from San Francisco to investigate the
case, had no difficulty in tracing the
trouble to the girl.

The house in which Joan Of Arc was
born is still faithfully preserved in
pious veneration at Domremy, where 1t
is looked upon almost in the light Of

lection as they 20 by.
The story goes that rich and eccen-
trio Englishman tried hard to buy the
place in 1887. 1t was at that time the
property of a farmer named Girardin.
The Englishmen offered to let him
name his own price. but the old man
held firm. mo. no, no." he cried. ~

much less to a foreigner and especially
an Englishman. People here would call
me a traitor and a coward were to
part with the house from which Joan
of Arc set out to serve France"
The Englshman convinced himself
that further bargaining was useless
and went his way.
Soon after an officer from the king 8
household arrived in the village and
asked to speak with Girardin. Before
the whole village, assembled in the
street, he said: "Girardin, the king has
learned that you have refused to sell
your house to an Englishman. He de-
sires to reward you. but not in coin.
He knows that you no more want the
money Of the French than Of the Eng.

Pins,


Queen Catherine obtained pins from
France. and, in 1913. an act was pass.
ed: "That no person shall put to sale
any pinnes but only such as shall b"
double headed and have the heads sold
cred fast to the shank Of the pinnes,
we'll smoothed, the shank we'll shapen,
the points we'll round filed, cauted and
sharpened."
At this time most pins were made Of
brass, but many were also made OF
iron, with brass surface. France sent
a large number of pins to England
until about the year 1925.
In this year one John Tilsby started
pinmaking in Worcestershire. So Sue
cessful was his venture that he soon
had 1900 persons working. These pins
made at Stroud were held In high re-
pute.
In 1886 pinmakers combined and
founded a corporation. The industry
was carried on at Bristol and Birming-
ham, the latter becoming the chief
center. In 1875 prizes were offered for
the first native made pins and needles
in Carolina. and during the war In 1872
pins fetched enormous prices.
Pins vary from 81 inches in length
to the small gilt entomologists' pin;

The Boy Who Learned the w

The Boy who Learned the Way.
He was very young-about 13-this
boy who spent most of his time in the
studios watching the artists draw and
paint and wishing he could do the
same
"What kind Of pencils do you user"
he said one day, and they gave him
one Of the kind. That night he tried to
make a figure he had seen one Of the
artists draw, it seemed SO easy. But
he could not do the same kind of work.
perhaps haven't the right kind of
paper" he reasoned. II will get a
piece tomorrow" Even the right kind
of paper did not help him any.
81 need a studio and an easel" was
his next conclusion. 81 have the de-
sire; surely all I need now are the
necessary surroundings"
A few years Of impatient waiting
passed before he secured the "neces-
sary surroundings" and when he had
them all and still found 1t impossible
to draw the truth dawned upon him.
81 know what is wrong" he cried,
throwing down his pencil. II know
nothing Of the principles Of art
must learn them first"
He was still young when his name as
a great painter was known on two con-
tinents. He had learned the "princi-
pie" A bit of brown paper and a
burned match would then enable him
to draw as easily as all the art essen
tials.-Ann Partlan in Success.
