"REMINISCENCES OF AR OLD INHALER

Sir John Franklin's expedition-,hOse that were young when they left home. The interval was about 22 years, up to the time of Dr. Halls fourth year in that region, or the time of which l am writing. Sir John Franklin had q chosen body of l32 men, and the number included young men just outside their teens. Adding P years, and these men would still be in the prime of lie. Thus reasoned the masters. officers and men, as they argued these Quections. The Iwillik tribe claimed to have found pots and dishes and places where white men had camped. A bunting party, they said had followed this trail for several days but found no white men. These people take no stock of time and just how long before this had occurred we could not learn, only that it was a 'long time ago. The natives also told a story of two white men who had lived in the country surrounding Winter island. This section Sir Edward Parry explored and, I think, he spent two winters in those waters. l do not re- member the route he took, but l think il was through the straits that bear the names of his ships, Heca and Fury. The native that told us this story said this white man was great hunter and he lived and hunted with young na- tive many moons. and when the white man was about to go away the young Indian assumed his name, the white man taking the name of the native. The young native aspired to become d mighty hunter. like the white man. So the white man went southward accom- panied for long way by his native friend, who afterwards returned to his own people.
 Dr. Hall found this native a year later, and came to the conclusion that the white man and great hunter was Capt. Crozier, second in command of the Franklin expedition. The white mans journey southward was traced by Dr. Hall to the Kenipetos tribe not far

the schedule. They used to delight in telling the story of old Ben Holiday, he of the overland route ro California and pony-eXpress fame. The old man (the proprietor was always known as the old mann was one day liding over the route, and the driver was not mak- ing the time he should. The old man became impatient and could plainly see that the driver was puttering along to save his stock, thinking, perhaps, that would please the old man better than to be thrashing away at them. Finally he spoke to the driver and asked him what he meant by not making the time. His answer was that he thought he was doing the best he could for the stock. "Dann the stock. says Holli- day. ''See here, young fellow, what did you have to furnish when you came on this route?' Some hat nonplus~ed, the ahashed driver replied: "Why, only had to furnish whip" Well, damn yOu,' the old man responded anyrily, 'use it; furnish the stock: all you've got to do is to keep yourself sup piled with whips. The combination makes time"
 I once heard Sanderson. of the great stage firm of Barlow & Sanderson, which commenced staging from the Missouri river to santa Fe in the early sixties. say ''that hosS was never foaled that was too good for me to put on my stage line.' Aud he carried it out to the letter. too. remember be used to have a team that started out of Kansas City for that run, of four blood bay stallions that was the handsomest team ever saw strung out.

riots of his day, he was ready for any emergency: if he didn't want to fight the hold-ups he knew how to avoid it, and "jolly" them along as they were committing their depredations; he knew just what time he could make if the Indians got after him, to reach the next station, or the desired help; he was ready for any occasion: to perform the last rites of the dead, best man at a wedding. execute any commission fer his fair friends, tend the baby or make a good fight at the drop of hat.
 The dexterity and proficiency with which these fellows would handle their ''stock,' as they always termed their horses, was a perfect revelation to the tender-foot. The way they would swing six horses and a Concord coach around the hills in the mountain roads, where detlection from the exact line would have meant death and destruc- tion to everybody and everything in their load, was really q work of art, that would make the dilletante coach- man of the present day green with envy. Whatever their route, whether through the mountain detiles, the level plains; whether through the snow, rain and blizzards, or famed by the gentle zephyrs or muscular winds of the prairies; whatever the condition of the roads they were on the alert. patiently exacting from every "critler" in the team his full measure of the burdens to be borne in getting through on time
 While they had an affection that was oittmes pathetic, in a way, for their stock, yet their great ambition was to be on time; everything else might fail; the comfort of the passengers might be conspicuous only by its absolute ab- sence, the one thing they would do, as against every protest, excepting alone the elements, would be to get there on

Hall wanted five men to acc0mpany him to King Williams Land. and men who had served in the Union army would be given preference, and youths and boys need not apply. The party was to be armed with Springfield rifles, shot guns and Colt revolvers.

As oarsman for bay whaling Indians were superior to boys, and our captain engaged large num- Der for hunting deer and manning an extra boat for bay wha ling and ice whaling.
 The following spring three more whalers entered the bay, all coming to anchor near us. Dr. Hall visited these vessels; his two interpreters always accompanied him. l was very anxious to accompany Dr. Hall on his expedi- tion, for it was thought by all that some of the younger men of the ships Erebus and Terror Sir John Franklin's ships) might be living among some of northern tribes. Dr. Hall had now been living for four years on flesh diet, in skin tents in summer and snow huts in winter. We reasoned if the doctor could live liFe an Eskimo, so could we, and so could some of the members of

Crozier had been murdered by this tribe bu, he believed that such had been the case, and he so near to friends and help, after suffering untold privations for years and seeing his companions in mis- fortune succumbing one by one to death by exposure, disease and starvation.
 In 1859 the bark Syrian Queen, Capt
 Chappell, wlntered at Marvilli island
 near the territory of the Kenipetos tribe. Snow huts were built near the ship. and the tribes were friendly, dur ing the winter their hunters furn shing the ship with an abundant supply of reindeer and musk-ox flesh. When spring came Capt. Chappell sent his boats and most of his crew foe whaling a distance of ten miles from the vessel
 While the ship was still firm in the ice. these villainous natives saw their op- portunity for p.under. They conspired to kill the captain and the few ship keepers he had on board, consisting of the steward, carpenter, cooper and a few boys. Nearly all the able-bodied men were absent, and the tribe num- bered 300. But the fates favored Capt. Chappell. A young native gave the captain timely warning. He sent the Indian to notify the absent men of the threatened danger, and then prepared the vessel for resisting the expected attack. The crew reached the vessel in safety, and soon afterwards the na- tives moved in body toward the yes sel, but they scented danger and changed their course. The young In dian, Albert by name, and his relatives were amply rewarded by Capt. Chap pell. Afterwards Albert became Chiei Albert, his followers having affiliated with the Iwillik tribe. inhabiting Mel vile peninsula and the country be- tween Wager river and Repulse bay.

STUTTERENG JOE THE OLD TIME STAGE DRIVER

BY P. j. CCSTON

The bull-whacker, whose vicious voice awakened echoes in the ambient air for the first time it was disturbed by civil ized tones. that started the coyote and the grizzly and aroused them to new sense of danger, another enemy to fight, and whose patient tread has marked every foot of this vast domain, is only a reminiscence. And with all these disappearing factors that have been so potent an aid in the develop ment of our country. there is still another interesting creature, closely al- lied to them, that, save in isolated places now in our own land. is thing of the past, and that is the old stage driver. The stage driver though, was somewhat different from others: his was the express train, as compared with the freight: passenger conductor as against the conductor of freight train.
 He associated, on terms of more or less familiarity, with the best people; was brought in close contact with them, and was rather looked up to as super for sort of person. And it is not straining the truth to say that he. him. self, regarded himself as being about the whole push; he was the king of the road; he the one who could dictate as to who should have the outside seat; how much time the passengers could take for their meals, and, if any kick ing was to be done, he could dictate who should do it, and was generally IT, on all occasions. But, like his compat.

 our experiences many things, the safe anchorage of time, we are prone to dwell upon in our minds with more or less pleasure, or regret, as the case may be. The rapid strides that have been made in this country of ours, as witnessed by all who have turned the half century mark, in the way of travel ing, at least, has probably never been equaled in the history of the human race. With the application of steam to the carriers of freight and passengers, the pf electricity in the same occu- patiOh. and, latterly, to the automobile, have all tended to make transportation not only speedy, but luxurious, and, when in a reflective mood, one often finds himself comparing the system with those that existed even quarter of a century back.
 The sturdy Id pioneer, who, fearless of the wilderness or the bonndless plain, loaded his little family and all his be- longings, into OK, wagons and braved tho unknown perifs of the new regions, are passed from any experiences that one may now encounter.
