A PERiLOUS TRIP.
Explorer Wallace is Successful in
Crossing Labrador.

A st. Johns, n. f., dispatch says: Let
ters Wednesday from Dillon Wallace.
the Labrador explorer and New York
lawyer, contained the news that he had
successfully crossed Labrador.
Wallace is the first white man who
ever crossed Labrador without either
guides or Indian assistants. With Wal
lace was a companion named Easton,
The letters said both were well and had
plenty Of provisions when they reached
the province of Ungava, Oct. 16.
In 1904 Wallace went with Leonidas
Hubbard's Inflated expedition. Hubbard,
whose purpose was to cross Labrador,
lost his life from starvation, and Wallace
was found by Il rescuing party after he
had fallen exhausted in the snow.
Although the most p~erilous part of
Wallace's trip has been completed. he
still has before him winter travel by snow
shoes before he reaches civilization.

Protect the Bison.

Ten million buffalo in 1865, 1000 in
1905, says Recreation. Twenty years
ago the black, shaggy bison Of the
great west would have sufticed for q
procession, two abreast, reaching from
Point Barrow to the Straits Of Magel.
Ian, while today the surviving rem.
naDt would barely reach around two
city blocks.
But what is past is past; it will be
infinitely more profitable If we take
counsel and decide what we shall 90 TO
protect the buffalo that remain. rather
than spend our days in grieying for
animals slain by a generation that has
nearly passed away. The n hopeful
phase of the situation is the slight in
crease in number of buffalo during the
last decade, for it encourages the be-
lief that, with adequate protection and
skillful handling, the species may
even yet become numerous.
The buffalo breeds freely in car.
tivity, and, when well fed and allowed
ample liberty, seems unaffected by in.
breeding. 1t is, therefore, quite posi-
BILE that were a sufficient number gath
cred together in a suitable range, pro-
tected and left to lead a natural life,
instead of hundreds, in n generation
or two there will 10 thousands.

Convincing Evidence.

Winthrop, Cal, Nov. 20.-(Special.b
A plain and straightforward story
is always the most convincing. And
that is what has impressed us most in
reading the testimonials in regard to
Dodd's Kidney Pills. The experience
told by Davis Lewis of this place bears
the ring and stamp of truth upon it
He says:
II was troubled for six months with
dull. heavy pains in the small Of my
back; sometimes it passed into my
stomach, at other times up between
my shoulders. When it was in my
stomach | was doubled up, and hardly
knew what to do for the pain. / was
advised to take all kinds of remedies,
and did so, but without getting any re-
lief. Then some one told me to try
DOdd's Kidney Pills. I got a box and
began taking them. The first few
doses gave me relief; by the time I
had finished them all the pain was
gone and 1 have been well ever since"

NUDE MEN ROUTED BY FIRE.
Thirty-nine Lives Lost and Thir-
ty-tyO LOdgers Badly Burned.

ty-twO LOdgers Badly Burned.
Thirty-nine men lost their lives and
thirty-two others were burned severely
in a fire which broke ont early Sunday
morning in a municipal lodging house in
Glasgow.
The building was occupied by $50 men.
most of them labOrers, all belonging to
the poorest classes. The flames first
were noticed on the fourth floor about 6
o'clock, and in the panic which followed
many fell downstairs or jumped from
windows. 1t is the custom of these lodg-
ers to sleep nude, and when the firemen
arrived, almost Immediately an eXtraor-
binary scene was created by a procession
of naked men rushing out of the en-
trance. Against their frantic efforts to
escape the fire fighters actually had to
fight for admission.
Reaching the upper floors. the fremen
found that the narrow passages were be-
ing cOngested with men who had drop
ped to the floors overcome with smoke.
The lire, however, was confined to the
fourth floor, and as soon as the iremen
were able to get to work it was speedily
extinguished.
The march of the nude survivors TO
the police station was a fantastic one.
Some had snatched the covers of the
beds and others their trousers, while
many wore nothing. The local authori-
ties had to be called upon to supply the
men with clothing and warm meals.
Owing to their migratory habits and
the absence of permanent homes, many
of the dead never will be identified. The
identification of others is rendered diff
cult by the absence of clothing.
