A MEETING IN THE ARCTIC.
Capt Amundsen Tells of an Incident in
the Far North.

Captain Amundsen. discoverer of the
Northwest Passage, tells this incident of
camp life near the north magnetic pole,
quoted in the Chicago News: "On
October 20 the first Esquimaux made
their appearance. Expectation on this
point had always run high, and we talked
daily about meeting with them. Sir
John Ross, in his description of his voy-
age, gives the word 'Telma' as the usual
salutation between white man and Esqui-
mau, and we had therefore carefully laid
this word to heart in order at once to
check any warlike desires. should they be
apparent. This first meeting was eX-
ceedingly ridiculous, and is one of our
liveliest "reminiscences. With two COM
panionS. armed to the teeth-namely, An
ton Lund and Helmer Hansen started
off to meet the Esquimaux, walking first
myself, with my two comrades following
me at about three PAGES distance. They
had shOuldered their guns, and had such
a fierce expression on their faces that ii
alone would have been enough TO put n
warlike detachment to flight, to say
nothing of the five unfortunate Esqui-
mauN who were approaching us. The
step and set-up of my detachment were
uneXceptlonable.
Arrived at about one hundred PAGES
not wishing to show less strategic abil-
ity, did likewise. Now, thought, is the
moment to set this matter at rest, and
shouted 'Telma" ut the top of my voice.
Il did not seem to affect them in the
least and, after a short parley among
themselves, they recommended their
march on us. They were five in number,
had formed sore Of fighting line, and now
advanced toward u.s. smiling and hum
ming. Two of them had their boks firmly
secured to then Oacks. and the three
others were apparently unarmed.
I'VE on our side. of course, resumed
our advance. repeatedly shouting. Tel

namely. Manik-tu-mi! We now APP
preached one another quickly, and
finally ended by meeting. 1t was
a remarkable encounter. The Esqui-
maux stroked and putted US both in front
and behind, all shouting 'Manik-tu-mi,
as hard as they could We, true to our
original plan of campaign, copied our ad-
verSaries, and shouted and howled, patted
and clapped to the best of our ability.

CLEvELAND'S TARIFF MESSAGE
The Making of a Famous Document De-
scribed by Woman.

TO the June American Magazine Ida
NJ. Tarbell contributes an interesting ac-
count of Groer Cleveland in the white
house in 1887. That was the year in
which Mr., Cleveland sent to Congress his
famous tariff message, a message con-
tanning no reference to any subject other
than the tariff. OF the making of that
document Miss Tarpell writes:
The writing of the message vas a

was not a literary man. He was a
lawyer, accustomed to presenting what
he had to say in the involved sentences
