George ]. Gould, who has for several weeks
been on a tour of inspection of the Gould system

Courtesy Among the s,rehe.

The Swedes are quiet, taciturn peo-
pie. There is no jostling even among
the lowest classes. When a train leaves
a platform or a steamboat pier, the
lockers on lift their hats to the depart
ing passengers and bow to them, a COM
pliment which is returned by the pas
sengers. You are expected to lift your
hat to the shabbiest person you meet in
the street, and to enter a shop office or
bank with the hat on is considered a
bad breach of good manners. In retir-
ing from a restaurant you are expected
to bow to the occupants. Bowling and
hat lifting are so common that the peO-
pie seem to move around more slowly
than elsewhere in order to observe the
courtesy.

The first caribou we killed was a
fawn. We picked him out because we
wanted meat, and, being young, we
thought he ought to be tender. In fact,
however, his meat was almost useless

stag, driving the fawn away from the
mother, will strike him with his horns
and chase him half Il mile AS soon
as the stag gives up the chase and
turns back to the doe the fawn will re
turn; then the stag will chase him
again. This is kept up for eight or ten
days, with the result that from worry,

meat of the fawn becomes for a time
