Carries in Her Breast a Piece of Pol.
ished Ivory.
Not long since a wild goose was
killed in one of the lakes of northern
California. The hunter was out hunt
ing and came suddenly on three very
large wild geese that instantly took
wing. One was shot and killed. When
the hunter picked up the big honker
which weighed nearly twenty pounds,
he was surprised to see a piece of
ivory sticking out from the breast of
. the bird just below one of it's wings.
With some difficulty he succeeded in
pulling out this polished stick of
ivory. The flesh had grown tightly
around the piece and the wound that
had once been inflicted was entirely
healed. On pulling out the object the
hunter discovered that it was an ar
row point about eight inches long.
very sharp at one end, and about the
size of an ordinary pencil. There were
some queer. peculiar, delicate cary
ings on the stem, where it had been
attached to the wooden arrow. These
quaint cravings were quite visible.
On careful inspection they were
pronounced to be of Eskimo origin
The bird had been shot away up
toward the arctic regions, but had not
been fatally wounded. With the piece
of polished walrus tooth in its breast,
the honker had winged it's way for
thousands of miles. The Eskimo
hunter had failed to get his goose, but
it fell the victim to the white hunter
The wooden shaft had doubtless been
broken off in the long fight.

In making the frame of a gate with

join. BY filling pipe with sand there
is less danger of kinking the pipe
when bending 1t. If stay braces are
used a band of iron clamp with rivets

Nora promptly responds with six

is that Nora has been known to work
