"A incident happened. With his
widowed mother and twin brother,
Nipsu, he lived in one of half.dozen
cabins forming small settlement
on the Koyukuk. The village was
near the mouth of stream which
had its source in the Lockwood Hills,
north of the arctic circle.
1t was severe winter. Besides
the cold. the natives had also to con-
tend with famine. Salmon, on which
they relied principally for food, had
been less abundant the preceding
summer than usual, and when the
season closed it had been foreseen
that the stock of dried fish would be
exhausted long before spring.
The utmost exertion on the part
of the hunters had failed to make up
for the deffciency;. smoose and Carl
bou had apparently migrated, and
the black bears, too, had disappear
ed By the end Of January the little
community was face to face with
actual starvation.
Akowma's mother had a brother
dwelling farther up the Koyukuk. In
the hope that he might be able to
spare a little food for them, his
starving relatives resolved to apply
to him for help.
Accordingly, early. in February,
Nipsu set out for his uncle's cabin,
while Akowma stayed at home to
hunt grouse, ptarmigan and other
small creatures, on which the natives
were now forced to subsist.
Although the river lis SO crooked
that three days were required to
make the journey by canoe, single
long days march overland would
suffice; but the trail was practicable
only in cold weather, when innumer-
able ponds and swamps were frozen
over.
Ordinarily Nipsu would have trav-
elled with sledge and dogs, but the
last of their faithful draft-animals
had been long. since sacrificed, land he
was compelled to trust to his snow
shoes. This was no hardship, how
ever, to the youth, who, like all
native lads, was an expert snow-shoc
runner.
In case game of some kind should
be encountered, he took with him q
musket that had belonged to his
father, together with few rounds
of ammunition. A rawhide pack

the provisions, if his mission proved
successful, completed his equipment

x. us INNOVATION.

A new rule has been adopted at the
Kansas State university that is a credit
to the institution. Students who enter
the school are to have the advice and
counsel of a professor concerning the
course of study to be taken up and the
line of education best suited to the pro-
fession which the student expects to
adopt.
There are a few students who enter
college with a clear idea of the profess
sion or avocation they expect to follow
and a word of advice from a trained
and mature man may often direct the
young man into the paths which lead
to success when if left to himself ne
would be failure. Not every one is
fitted to be a lawyer, a doctor or even
a newspaper man but the young stu
dent. full of the confidence and strength
of youth, does not always know this.
He imagines that ne can override any
obstacle and mount to the pinnacle of
success no matter which path he chooses.
And here is where the advisory board
will make itself felt The trained teach
ers may be able to convince the student
that lifes problems are not so easily
solved and when they have done that
they may be able to give him the key

HOLD THE TURKS HANDy

1t seems strange in this age of
enlightened civilization that the world
should stand mute in the face of the
atrocities that are daily being COM
mitted by the Turks Every day adds
new pages to the history of these fear
full crimes. Thousands of men. women
and children are being wantonly butch
cred by the Turkish soldiers apparently
for no other reason except that their
religion is not the religion of the gov
eminent Here is a paragraph from
Wednesdays reports:
The details received here of the
atrocities daily committed by Turkish
soldiers pass the bounds of magma
ton. The general opinion is that
Adrianople will soon be entirely depop-
ulated of the Christian element"
This appears to be the elimination Of
the atrocities that have been going on
in Turkey before the eyes of the world
for years. In 1896 William f. Gladstone
took the first steps toward foreign in
tervention because of the unparalleled
massacres in Armenia but the sultan
with the most abject protestations of
friendship expressed his regret and
proceeded to make such reparation, as
was in his power, for the murder of the
foreign subjects. Then the matter was
dropped. But the massacres did not
stop. The dndiscriminate killing of
Christians was revived at intervals by
the soldiers and undoubtedly with gov
eminent sanction until now the climax
of murder and rapine has apparently
been reached.
Gladstone is dead and nothing is now
heard of foreign intervention The
world can scarcely boast of it's civiliza-
ton so long as the swords of the Turk
ish soldiers are red with the blood of
harmless. inoffensive men and women
whose only crime is that they will not
adopt the Mosiem faith.

was then calculated that it was short
period comet that should reappear in
1896, which it did nearly at the predict

the comet of 1889 might possibly be
identical with LexelPs short period
comet, which had been lost to view
through the disturbing power of the
planet Jupiter in 1879. But on the re-
turn of Brooks comet in 1896 careful in
