Had No Fear of Man.

OF an expedition into, the interior
Of Alaska Mr.. Hamburg writes: 1--WE
took enough meat to last us several
days and proceeded down the river
meeting the same day several musk
oxen. One remained close to us while
we were pitching the tent in the eve
ming. AS he did not appear disposed
to move off I took my camera and ap-
preached within about thirty yards,
when I snapshotted him. He re-
NAMED feeding on the willows, so I
went still nearer. He showed no
signs of fear but I did, for I carried
no arms. I assembled a small knoll
below which he was feeding and thus
got within a few yards of him and
~snapshotted him again. then wished
for another shot in a different posi-,
ton, SO I threw a piece of rack at
him, which only produced an angry
shake Of the head. I threw several
other missiles. but he only stood
angirly shaking his head, paving the
ground and making his low guttura

you wouldn't ask me to take it'-that

How did you find out about it?'

have never been laid up with all the
diseases in the dictionary. How did
you learn what the different remedies

average patient that tasting drugs is

REBUFF WAS CUTTING ONE.
Fitting. Retort of "Mad Poet" to an
Ungentieman1y Remark.

Ungent1eman1y Remark.
Many stories are told of Mcdonald
Clarke, known fifty years ago in New
York as the mad poet" which show
that he had a vein Of great shrewd-
ness such as is often possessed by
people who are counted insane.
One day he was seated at a table
in a New York hotel quietly eating his
simple dinner when two young men
took their seats at the same table.
Mcdonald Clarke was a we'll known
figure, and the young men at once
recognized him though he did not
know them.
They were not gentlemen in the
best Ems of the word, and it oc-
CURED to them that they might have
some sport with the poor poet. Con-
sequently one of them said in An un-
necessarily clear tone:
Il have seen almost everything and
everybody in New York except Nc
Donald Clarke. I have a great admira
ton for his poems, and l would give
a great deal to see the man,"
When he passed the mad poet lean
ed forward and said with evident
qualification:
"Sir, I am Mcdonald Clarke, whom
you say you wish to see."
The young man stared at him will

then drawing a quarter from hi

saying, That's for the sight"
Clarke looked at the coin for IN In

Elements with Russia. He declined to
express an opinion save on a single
point, and that was the Island OF
Saghalin, from which Japan was
roughly pushed out by treaty in 1875.
He claimed that Japanese sentiment
and historic justice required that the
island be returned to Japan. It's coasts
are the finest fishing grounds in the
northern seas. Japanese fishermen
are already starting for that locality,
now that Russia's damaged fleets
show no intention of aggressive fight

Whatever may be thought of the
Muscovite's claim to a right-of-way

the island chain off the coast of this
eastern continent is properly Japan's,

she should have it. Just now, how
