No TURNING OUT.-It was meeting
In a pioneer town to discuss the bring
ing in Of a railroad, and after the
colonel had spoken for an hour on the
benefits to be derived he asked for
others to get up and state their opin-
ions.
In answer. Joe Tompkins arose and
wanted to know how it would be If he
was walking along the track some day
and met a train-would he have to
get off the track or would the train
back up?
The colonel replied that railroad
trains always had the right of way,
and Joe continued:
Then I'm agin yer railroads, and
we've had 'nutf CAB. The only burned
thing l ever turned out fur was an
avalanche that slid hull mountain
seven miles down into the valley, and
I've allus been dawg-gone sorry I did
that"
The colonel tried to dodge the issue
but the meeting broke up in disorder
and the railroad was never built

DOGS IN ALASKA.
The Native Monsrels the Indispensable
Burden Bearers.

The native dog is known as the
"huskie" or "malamoot" and is a mon
grel-one- half timber wolf. He has
characteristics which especially fit him
for his work. He is heavy set, with
thick coat Of long hair, impervious
to cold and with just enough wolf in
his nature to make him restless, eager
to go, and with a sufficient mixture Of
dog to temper fierceness and a
treachery which might and sometimes
does become dangerous. All this Is un-
derstood-in fact, carefully studied and
watched by the Alaskan-and those
qualities which manifest themselves
in fidelity and gentleness are encour-
aged by kind treatment, while the
wolfish side of their nature is quickly
and effectually subdued by numerous
whippings. These animals have not
yet learned TO express themselves by
barking, and the only noise they can
make is a dismal howl. 1t Is a rare
occurrence for them to bite human
being, but they will fight among them
selves on the slightest provocation,
and 1t is not an uncommon sight for
half a dozen "huskies" to hold pitch
ed battle on the main street Of Fair
banks. A bucket of cold water will
generally put them to flight, but in the
majority of cases the miners pay no
attention to the melee and allow the
dogs to fight 1t out.
The wolf nature manifests itself In
their thieving propensities, and all
food must be cached" out Of their
reach. A hungry "huskie" will open
box of canned beef with ease by
biting through the tin. He will lie
before the door Of tent or cabin, pre-
tending to be asleep. when in reality
he is waiting for a chance to ransack
the kitchen. One day ] saw a miners
dinner wrecked by his own dog, a
splendid, big, wolfish fellow, who over
turned a pot of beans and in the most
unconcerned manner walked off with
the hot bacon in his mouth. No mat
ter what depredations they may COM
NIT, severe punishment, so as to Grip
pie or kill them, is out Of the question,
on account of their great value in the
transportation of supplies. 1t is an in
ferior dog that is not worth $40, and
many of them. say their masters. ARE

PROOF PosITIvE-Among the hills
Of Sligo there is a small lake renown-

depth, and the Liverpool Daily Post
tells the following story concerning It,:
A well-known professor. who was In
that part Of Ireland last summer,
started one day for q mountain, ac-
companied by native guide. AS they
climbed, Pat asked him II he would like
to see the lake, "for it's no bottom at

cousin couldn't stand it for him to
doubt his word, sorr. and so he said:
I'll prove the truth Of me words he
said, and off with his clothes and into
the water he jumped"
The professors face wore an anus

again, at all. at ALL"
But" said the professor. Il don't
