Pennsylvania's archaeological depart.
ment, who has just returned after a
six months expedition through the
widest regions of the far northwest,
announces the discovery of a new
race living along the Koskokwim
river In Alaska.
DR. Gordon brings back strange
talc or this new race, which had never
before seen a white man. and which
differs from all other tribes of Alas
kan Indians.
DR. Gordon heard rumors of the
race in 1905, and after innumerable
hardships he reached the territory In
which these aborigines live in Adamic
simplicity. They are called by the
Eskimos "Kuskwagamutes," and show
strong traces of Mongollan ancestry.
Crime and vice is utterly unknown
among them and their religion is
natural pantheism.
They know absolutely nothing OF
corruption and degeneracy with which
the whites have infected the Atha-
bascan Indians and Eskimos. DIR.
Gordon lived for several months
among them.
Though they are dying out" DR..
Gordon said, they are strong and
clean physically and intelligent. They
have retained the most ancient char.
acteristics of dress and speech. In
clothing, instead of wearing furs, they
sew skins of birds into robes, using
the breasts of loon and various spe-
cies of ducks which abound In the
river"
or their clothing, utensils, arms,
etc, DR.. Gordon gathered collections
and when they arrive De and other
ethnologists will try to discover
whether the tribe is of Asiatic origin
or whether it migrated from lower
California.
This new tribe is the only one in
Alaska which makes pottery, DR.. Cor.
don says. All the others are basket
weavers. DIR. Gordon believes the
race to be OF ancient Asiatic origin,
gradually driven by Athabascan In
dians and Eskimos to its present quar-
ters, which is a natural fortress. They
represent. perhaps, the most ancient
dwellers of Alaska, who made their
way there from Asia.
They are monogamists, and no such
thing as vice is known among them.
They are permitted by their priests TO
have more than one wife, but neve'
do so. They have no laws at all. bp!

There are only 400 of them left,
said Dr. Gordon. 1T is to be hoped
for their sake that they die out before
the white traders get to them. Then
they can die as cleanly and happily as
they live.

STORY or A Black CAP.
Sentence Of Death Was to Be His
Portion.

Here is an amusing story that Capt.
Christopher Craddock, skipper of the
Swiftsure, vessel now In the British
Channel feet, is fond of telling. A
court.martial was being held on board
the Hibernia at Malta for the trial
of q gunner who had been drinking
not wisely but too well. The evi.
dence had been taken, the finding
decided on. and the coart cleared to
consider the sentence. The court
was reopened and the prisoner ush.
cred in. Hardly had he crossed the
threshold when, to the astonishment
of the members of the court, he threw
himself face downward, uttered wild
shrek, and pleaded piteousl for
mercy. Every one looked at the pres.
ident, and the reason for the prison.
er's strange behavior at once dawned
on their perplexed minds. The pres.
ident's hair on top was conspicuous
by its absence, and in private life he
Invariably wore black skull cap.
Now, the Hibernia was one of the
draughtiest ships In the navy, and
the deliberations had been somewhat
long, so in the prisoners absence the
president had covered his head with
its usual protector, but on the mans
reentry quite forgot to hide 1t by
putting on his cooked hat. The un-
fortunate gunner, whose nerves were
somewhat unstrung az a result of his
recent debauch, jumped to the con
clusion that the wearing of the black
cay by the president signified that
he was to be hanged for his offesnse,
instead OF which his punishment
turned out TO be few days cells

warm and lined with pearly gray
satin, exactly like Mrs Carter's own
beautiful big one, but smaller by half.
A great longing began to grow in
Vida's heart.
But from that day on till the 18th
of December Vida thought of nothing
but a gray muff--how she would look
| carrying II, how 1t would feel and
how every Sunday afternoon she
would let poor Dorothy Haines carry
II for a whole block.
The 25th fell on Sunday that year,
and Saturday morning dawned bright
and clear Vida and her mother
were standing together at the nur-
sery window. as with a jingle OF
merry bells the Carters' sleigh drove
by. Vida sighed contentedy.
Tomorrow" she said. 81 shall be
carrying a gray astrakhan muff."
Her mother laughed merrily. why.
Vida, dear" she said. You asked
Santa Claus for seven other things
you said so only this morning. You
couldn't expect him to remember
them all, and he's as likely to forget
the muff as the French doll, or the
tea set. It's foolish to count on any
one thing when you made so long a

And her busy mother hurried off In
answer to a call from Aunt Jane.
Not count on It! Why. she had
done nothing but count on 1t ever
since Santa Claus had found her note.
says st. Nicholas. Not count on It.
Why, Christmas would be nothing
without it!
At last twilight cane. and the dark
ness fell. And In the corner of the
great hall sofa, facing the clock or
the stairs, Vida, disconsolate little
body, fell asleep.
Her mother wakened her when II
was time to hang up her stocking, and
then, in spite of her warning, and in
spite of her long hours of worry. hope
was born again. and when Vida kissed
her mother good night visions Of
gray astrakhan muffs danced In her
head.

1t seemed to Vida she had but
closed her eyes, and there stood moth
er and Aunt Jane beside her bed, one
with her worsted shoes and the other
with her red eiderdown wrapper to
hurry her over to the nursery, where
her father stood awaiting at the
door.
merry Christmas! Merry Christ
mas! Oh, papa, I said 1t flrst!" she
cried, laughingly. as her father caught
her in his arms.
Vida drew a quiet breath, and gave
little happy exclamation. Then she
flew straight to the flreplace-the
muif should be there.
OF the seven presents six were not
forgotten, and there were others she
had not asked for.
But Vida's lips were quivering, and
great lump swelled In her throat.

A Chid's Dress.
For a good dress for a child, and
this means something for church or
party wear, nothing is more girlish
than a dress of soft cashmere in O
dainty blue tint. The skirt may be
made with double rufIle, the upper
one being the width of the lower one
the two forming the skirt length. The
waist is made full with a rounded
bertha slit about every six inches and
neatly trimmed with an edging OF
plated blue silk ribbon. The
yoke will be dainty If fashioned OF
allover Swiss embroidery; a touch OF
1t should also be seen below the puffed
cashmere sleeves. Hand embroidery
will give neat finish, though the
simple style wi1>be pretty without
