visited the asylum, and I asked the
guide ii he knew anything about KEEL
ly, the noted Grand Rapids confidence
man, who had been sent there a few
years before.
Indeed / do" he replied. 'He
makes us all kinds of trouble in play
ing his old game with other patients
in his ward. One day while taking
some visitors through l noticed, over
in one corner of the room, three men
entirely nude, and another man stand
ing over them gesticulating and talk
ing at a furious rate.
Approaching them, inquired what
it all meant. Kelly laughed bolster
ously and, pointing at big pile Of
clothing in the corner, 4 have just
won million dollars from these men,
he said. See, it's piled up over there
in the corner. Yes, sir, straight mil
lion dollars He had persuaded these
poor souls to bet their clothing, one
piece after another, until they hadn't
garment left"
asked the guide to take me through
Kelly's ward, and upon meeting Kelly
I said:
GLOW do you do, Mr.. Kelly? Per-
haps you do not remember me- My
name is Johnston. / used to be in the
auction business. l met you and some
friends at Howard City at different
times"
ooh, yes" said he, his face lighting
up for the instant. Eyes, yes, I re-
member you. You used to sell out Of
a carriage right in front of the hotel"
I thought to myself: ''Well, now
he isn't so crazy, after all"
Like flash, however, his counte-
nance changed and with a scowl he
stared into vacancy and said:
"Let me see, there was something
else about that; what was it now?
o. didn't you travel in the auction
business with Christopher Columbus ?"

A most interesting article in the Out
ing, under the title 1.-THE Pennies of
the North" gives glimpse OF the hab-
it's and superstitions, the virtues and
vices of the mysterious people under
discussion. We are told that there
probably exists nowhere a dirtier race.
We learn that these inhabitants of a
country which rivals the Sahara in
barrennesS, are keen-witted in driv-
ing a bargain, are of almost uneXam-
pied frugality. Forced to make the
most of their scanty resources they are
miserly in their economy, and the
herds that some possess show their
truly remarkable wealth, considering
the poverty of nature that surrounds
them" The true Lapp looks after his
old better than his young. He may be
thief, liar, vagabond, as his neighbors
call him, but you can mark this down
to his credit: "After the aged come the
reindeer, then the women and chill
dren."
AS we said above, the Lapp depends
for clothing and food on his herd; not
harness. Those intended for beast of
burden are worked whilst still fawns,
are petted and practically become mem
bers of the family. Before full-grown
they grow accustomed to halter and
leather saddle. The reindeer's gait is
a stumbling, queer one, but he can car
ry a good load along over the ice at
the rate of from eight to ten miles an
hour. He guides easily, but is hard to
start if he things it time to rest. The
winter is the season for the Lapp, the
ice-bound rivers are then passable, the
RENDERS able to find it's moss under
the buried snow. He can dig through
banks six feet and more deep; patient
~. untiringly he forages, the one anf-
NAL for the Lapland barrens.
Reindeer moss, found pretty nearly
all over the world, grows most album
dainty in arctic and sub-artic regions.
In pine and spruce forests it very often
fiourishes; and if the forests are burned
over, it springs up very luxuriantly. 1t
is sometimes used by man for food,
the taste is pleasant, though slightly
aCrid.
The word reindeer is derived from
the Lapp RENO (pasturage) and the
Anglo Saxon deer wild beast, or ami
maD. "The reindeer has long been do
mesticated among the LapIanGers and
the tribes along the coast of Siberia,
and used for drawing sledges and as a
riding and burden animal. 1t has re-
markable endurance, strength and
speed in drawing sledges, and without
this animal much of Lapland and ST.
IBERIA could not be inhabited.
The reindeer are having hard strug-
gle for existence; the nomadic Lapps
ass weakening under their struggle in
1.-The poverty of a region unfit for hui
man habitation." Reindeer and field
Lapp are passing.

allied? One ethnologist believes them
to be a branch of the Firms, another
that they are descendants of Mongo-
liam tribes driven northward and mi
grating west along the Arctic shores.
They are not by any means a pure
race; the language is related to that
of the Films, many of their family
names are Swedish. They are short of
stature, their faces triangular, cheek
bones high, noses fat, their black eyes
small, the hair chestnut or black.
There are coast Lapps and reindeer
Laps; the latter dwell in the interior,
the former make their living largely
by fishing and hunting. The Norwe-
gian coast Lapps keep many reindeer;
the fishing Laps, that own no rein
deer, are a more settled folk, those
with herds perforce moving from place
to place to obtain pasturage. The deer
feed on an underground of lichens and
moss, and when this has been nibbled
close it is not disable again for years.
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1905-10-26

Lapp families do not dwell in towns,
each owner of herd must have wide
area about him for his animals. The
reindeer provide him with clothing and
food, the food consisting of milk, flesh
and blood.
A nomadic Lapp with but % reindeer
is poverty-stricken, one with 100 is II
moderate circumstances, the possession
of 1000 means wealth.
In suDlmer the Lapps are robed in
dark blue homespun' cloth, decorated
with gay colors. In winter the follow
ing is a typical costume: A long tunic
of reindeer belted with leathern CIR
die, from which hangs the inevitable
long knife; reindeer leggings showing
beneath the tunic, and soft dried grass
wound close about the leg and stuffed
into the fur-lined shoe, this peculiar
stocking-substitute bound tight by
means of long, narrow bands, on the
head a cloth cap turned up all around
with facing of fur. The women dress
much like the men, look very much
like them. The Lapp huts are made OF
q conical framework covered with can
vas, wooden cloth or deerskin, with a
hole at the top through which the
smoke may escape.
Concerning the character Of the
Lapps, one authority tells us they are
honest and loyal; their prejudiced
neighbors call them vagabond, thief
and nar The Bible has been translated
into their language, they adopt the
religious form obtaining in the locality

Swedish LaplanderS have long had
the right to wander over into Norway
in search of pasturage for their rein
deer herds, and the Norwegian nomads
possessed the right to go over into
Swedish territory. One of the articles
in the recent Norway-Sweden settle
ment dealt with pasture privileges for
the Laplanders of either country,
which matter, deemed of sufficient i'm
portance to demand special considera-
ton, awakened our curiosity about the
nomadic Laplander.
The name Lapp, given to these peo-
pie by the Swedes, means nomad; they
call themselves Sameh, or Samehlats.
The word Lapland refers to no politi-
cal entity, but a region in northwest
Europe of between $4,000 and 10000
square miles. Its southern boundary
is not definitely defined, but it may be
said to extend south in Norway ap-
proximately to latitude 65 degrees, in
Sweden to latitude GA degrees, and in
Russia to latitude sc degrees. 1t in
cludes the whole northern part of Nor
way (some distance inland from the
Atlantic COAST, Sweden and Finland,
and the Kola peninsula of Russia"
All in all, there are but 10000 Lap
landers in the world Though the no.

Sweden and 5000 in Russia.

On meeting these men no one would
ever suspect their calling.
They used no profanity, drank no
liquor, were square in their dealings
with one another, and if one of them
were taken sick the others gave him
every attention. In all matters Of
charity each was always ready with
his share, and no more sociable and
companionable men could be found.
Within two days l had learned every
detail of their methods of operating.
When I inquired why the authorities
did not interfere, was told that they
were too much interested in the graft
themselves.

Turning to the stranger, the steer

me have $50, and we'll bet him.
1t was usually sure thing that the
stranger would be eager to bet.
On picking the wrong card, great
disappointment was. of course depicted
on the countenance of the "steerer,'
who would instantly accuse the Ken
tuckian Of being a swindler, and
threaten him with arrest. He would
start UP town at once, accompanied by
the stranger, also indignant and crest
fallen.
Should the "steerer" know the victim
had bet his last dollar, he would first
say to the "spieler:"

us money enough to get out of town

fluences tending to work radical
changes in the life of the simple wan.
derers; and now we have a modern
Lapp, trying to adopt a permanent
abode and conventional dress.
The Lapp proper knows nothing OF
towns, his wandering life not the kind
that results IN close-crowded dwelling
and public building. Comparatively re-
Gently outsiders have found it profita-
BILE to start commercial enterprises in
Lapland territory and two towns of
some size have been established; there
is the mining town of Gellivare in
Swedish Lapland, with 5000 inhabi-
tants; and in Russian Lapland the ice
free port of AleXandrovsk. The ores
found in Swedish southern Lapland are
considered of superior quality, and
there are large quantities in that re-
gion; the development of the mines
has led to railroad extension in the
frigid territory. Gellivare is Al miles
north of the Arctic circle, and from
this mining center there runs a rail-
way line, 230 miles of which lies north
of the circle. 1t would seem that pres
emily we shall have no Arctic mys-
teries, the railways will have made all
open to him that can pay the fare.
The Lapps are despised of the Swedes
and Norwegians, there is no intermar-
riage with them. The Firms are less
prejudiced and there is some intermar-
rying with the fisher and farmer Lapps

ODD FACTS ABOUT GOLD.

Few people know the real color OF
gold, because it is seldom seen ex-
cept when heavily alleged, which
makes it much redder than when it is
pure.
The purest coins ever made were
the $50 pieces which once were In
common use in California. Their
coinage was abandoned because the
loss by abrasion was SO great and be-
cause their interior could be bored out
and filled with lead. They were oc-
tagonal in shape, and were the most
valuable coins ever minted and cir
culated.
All gold is not alike when refined.
Australian gold is distinctly redder
than that taken in California. More
over, placer gold Is more yellow than
that which is taken from quartz. This
is one of the mysteries of metallurgy.
because the gold in placers comes
from that which is in quartz. The
gold in the Ural mountains is the red
dest in the world.

bill, saying: "Just give me nve dol
lars and keep this
The object of this move was two
fold:
First, in making the change, the
steerer was given an opportunity to
ascertain about how much cash his
prospective victim had. and second
his liberality in dividing his win
nings would. in 4 way. place the
stranger under obligation to him
when it came to the last joint for
the CON-" as they call it.
BY the time the ten dollars had been
divided the ''spieler" would have
ceased coughing and. picking up the
cards, would deity turn down the cor
ner of the marked card and turn W
one corner of a blank one, and while
doing this he would look the stranger
in the eye and direct his conversation
to him Then he would again throw
the cards, and offer again to bet $500
that neither of them could pick the
card with the cross.
Having noticed that the stranger
had $50 or $50, the "steerer" would
say:
