Kojaks' Queer Revenge

TN RUSSIAN Siberia lives race
of reindeer breeders called Kor-
i jaks. These men, who are among
the richest and most naughty of
the peoples Of the cold north, have ex-
ceedingly violent tempers, and their
strength and wealth make them head
strong and Indifferent to conse-
quences when they wish to revenge
themselves on enemies.
They have terrible and strange
method of doing this.
In the winter, the Korjaks seal the
small doorway into their huts with ice
and earth and let it freeze solid. Then
the only entrance and exit is the hole
in the roof of the huts, which permits
the escape of smoke.
Now, if band of Korjaks feels itself
injured i'll any way by another band
the avengers creep into a, village at
night and Chamber softly up on the
roofs. There, with snow and hides
they close up the smoke hole and seal
it absolutely. AS a result, if the oe-
cupants have not been awakened by
the noise, they smother in their sleep
If they do wake up and put out the
fire, there is no escape for them, fol
the moment they try to climb Out
through the roofs, the besiegers club
them to death.
One of the richest of the Korjak:
thus killed one of his enemies, slaugh'
tering the entire family, consisting Of
the father, three wives and two chill
dren,
This man afterward made his deco
d subject of his boasts, and was &C
customed to tell the story at length
with all the details. Nobody tried t.
punish him for it, because he was toe
powerful. He owns 5000 reindeer, anc
with this wealth he commands respec
from all the headmen.
These Korjaks live in great comfort
as compared with the other inhabi
tants of their bleak country They
are never in danger of famine, TO
their immense herds cannot be de
stroyed by even the hercest winter
so that, no matter how many thou
sands of reindeer may die there will
always be more than enough for foo
and for breeding.
They have a queer way of hunting
the wild reindeer They chase thes
animals not on land, but with canoe
in the water. The hunters wait unit
the herds begin to swim river in tn
summer and then paddle among then
and kill them with spears.

LDorlds Bravest Mail Carrier

sand strange chances that lead people
in their efforts to earn a living"
While they cover i'll their dark, tomb
like shelters over the lamp-stoves fed
with seal and whale oil, they talk of
far away Copenhagen and Elsinore
Thus you can imagine dimly what
a precious thing letter IS to them.
Weeks and weeks before the carrier
can possibly return over his awful
route, they talk Of the coming letters
and wonder what news will come from
friends and relatives.
So, when David starts away from
ice-surrounded Upernavik in a week
or two, you may be sure that all the
inhabitants will gather to wish him a
good journey and that many prayers
will ascend for him.
For his part he goes off into a lone
illness where there is no hand but his
own to depend on; no voice but his
own to hear; no way to get food ex-
cept by his own efforts; no help from
any one should disaster Overtake him.
If his dogs should die from the cpl
demic disease that sometimes sweeps
through pack of Arctic dogs; or if
his sled, with the provisions, fall
through a crack in the hoe-ice and
sink down into the gray polar sea that
lies five hundred feet deep below the
ice, then David the mail carrier
knows that THAT is before him is to
wander, wander hopelessly on foot,
on and on, Until hunger makes him
too weak to walk any farther then he
will fall to the snow and freeze there
or be torn by bears and foxes.
Part Of his journey is over inland
ice, frozen into hills and hummocks
till it looks like billowy sea. Over
this he can 90 only at the rate of a
few miles day. and at night, when
he makes camp, he is almost too
weary to eat.
Or he may strike slush ice, too thick
for the skin boat and too thin for the
sled. Though nOrther may be blow
ing at the time, he must founder and
wade through it, pushing his sled be-
! fore him. Then, behind rude shelter
and in the fame of a poor oil lamp,
he will dry his clothing sufficiently TO
permit him to proceed.
AS he gets south, the spring will
meet him; but it will be no soft spring
like ours, with breaths Of flowers and
clear, smiling blue skies. David
| spring greeting will be the thunder of
breaking glaciers and the vast noises
Of cracking foes and grinding bergs.
David's spring zephyr will be a storm
that drives across a CHASTITY white sky,
with pale sun glazing from it. Sleet
and hail and icy snow will drive into
his face; the polar seas will rise along
