Chicago Paper Tells WhOpper
 About SkagW ay

A recent issue of the Little Chronicle, an educational paper published at Chi cAgo, contains the following news item from one,of the daily papers of that city, which is produced under the heading, "Cold Weather Too Warm for Skag' way Dogs"
 Jacques Cartier drove his sledge and team of Eskimo dogs up and down Michigan avenue few days ago, The crowd that gathered on the sidewalk to watch the strange turnout stamped their feet to keep them warm.
 "sYou people seem col l, said Jac- ques, stopping in front of large group You ought to go up to Skagway, where I came from, if you want an excuse to stamp your feet. Why just look at those dogs he continued, pointing to the animals, who lay panting in the snow, they're so warm they can hardly draw the sledge. They were trained to stand British Columbian and Alaskan weather and this weather is too warm for them. They don't like automobiles either. Just watch that leader shy when the next one goes past.
 The educational paper adds to the story, ia parenthises, for the use of stu dents, the following:
 Find Sksgway on your map. To whom does it belong? What are some of the products of this part Of British Columbia and Alasks?n
 It is to be hoped that none of the stu dents referred the questions to one Jacques Carter, dog musher, who claims to be from Skagway.

What has been brought out most sig
