Singer Hard to Follow.

At Yorkshire inn there is a plan.
list who can render an accompaniment
to any song that any singer wishes
to sing. He cannot read a note of
music. yet. in the local phrase, he "can
play owt." Recently. however, he met
with an unexpected check. A new vol
unteer hummed over the air, but the
pianist failed to get the key. Lets
try it again." he said; and they tried
it again. Still it was of no use. A
third trial brought no better results.
Then the pianist turned on the singer
in anger and said: "Sitha, Awe
tried tina on t white 'uns, Awe tried
tina on t black 'uns an Awe tried
tina on t black an white 'uns mixed.
It's no use; this singing between t.
cracks"

For that dinner in prospect, with a

For living in a day of predigested

That I'm a woman in an age when

Thanksgiving dwells in the heart,
not In the stomach.

The territory of Alaska is of vast
extent and possesses a varied climate,
broad rivers, innumerable lakes, deep
forests, and chains of lofty mountains
in short, many Of the chief attrib.
utes OF natural game resort. Its
barren northern shores, frequented by
the numbering walrus and the formid-
able polar bear. are washed by ice
laden currents, while its southern ex.
tensions support luxuriant forests in
habited by the graceful Sitka deer.
Between these extremes are great
interior forests, the home of the lordly
moose. broad open tundras and roll,
ing plateaus, traversed by herds of
unsuspicious caribou, and snow-clad
mountain ranges. the stronghold OF
sharp-eyed sheep and dull-witted
goats.
Among Alaska's game animals are
some of the largest and finest in the
world, as the giant moose and the
huge brown bears. The game of the
entire territory includes moose, carl.

The
Lament of
the Foolish
Hen

Such wealth Of corn as We
NaN have now
~KE never saw; there comes
@%r , Aunt -, Jane ne, 49,. ,,,.., .,
grain.
"A few months back l was so thin,
But now 1 have a double chin
And feel as though i was tight laced
When / put on my corset waist.
Aunt Jane comes out at early morn
With her blue apron full of corn,
And with a friendly, clucking sound
She throws 1t on the frosty ground.
The crops are gathered in; the days
Are soft with Indian summer haze.
And Jack, the chOre boy, feeds the stock
While chips fly at the chopping block.
The city may nave it's delights.
But these delightful days and nights
Upon the farm are full for me
Or the serenest ecstasy.
Since back there in September they
Have added to our fare each day
Until, to fullness thus inspired.
There's nothing left to be desired.
A word about Aunt Jane. that serves
To pay the tribute she deserves:
oiuSC huSt OIOhe lily SHcil W sec
The world she has been good to me.
When foOlishly in youth l strayed
In the wet grass, she often stayed
Long after dark to bring me in
And dry my wet, gOOse-pimpled skin.
1 always had a rOOsting place
Secure from danger by the grace
or her. and many days and nights
She treated me for parasites.
aP of QttrTpd
The thought I am no common bird.
And some day l will take, 1 know,
A ribbon at poultry show.
When I go strutting DER the yard
Aunt Jane peers through her glasses hard
And l can see and not half try
The admiration in her eye.
And Jack, the chOrebOy, when he slips
From barn to pump. will smack his lips
To see me wax SO fat-he knows
How Aunt Jane loves me, I suppose.
Old Gobbler there, so lank and lean,
Is full of jealous musings mean.
He barely eats and is SO thin
His bones are sticking through his skin.

dOmeSticatiOn, being Jed like cattle in
winter or confined to inclOsed or re-
stricted ranges. The same experience
probably would have come to the
bison. but its fate was decided more
peremptorily. Very different, however,
are conditions in Alaska, and, SO far
as can be seen at present, ample
room for wild game will be available
for years to come.
Even if bison. elk, and antelope had
remained abundant in the United
States. still the game of Alaska would
be of special interest because it in.
cludeS many fine animals quite differ.
ent from these in kind and in habits.
The wholesome interest in nature
study and outdoor life recently awak-
ened in the United States is likely to
be permanent, and future generations,
whether hunters, naturalists, animal
photographers, or simply lovers of ma
ture. will set a high value upon the
possession of an undespoiled territory
furnishing primitive haunts for wild
game
To the permanent inhabitants of
Alaska the value of game is obvious.
Indeed. although much game was
killed during the early rushes of gold
seekers. Alaskans generally have not
been slow to appreciate the necessity
of game protection and the sentiment
in favor of it is growing rapidly.
PrOSpectOrs and travellers in the
wilderness must depend largely on
game for food. and their necessities
have been fully recognized in the
game law. Considerable game also
has been killed for consumption in
small settlements where no regular
supply of other fresh meat is avail
able. However this be regarded, it is
evident that restrictions must be
placed upon the killing of gamo for
sale in large towns where the demanl
is sufficient to endanger the very ex-
istence of the species.

He tried to whisper something once
TO me, the scrawny, half-starved Ounce,
But 1 passed on with figure trim,
do not care to talk with him.
Aunt Jane one morning cOoped US in
The yard, the stout ones and the thin,
We are so tame, and she has made
Us love her so we're not afraid.
And then she caught us. one by one,
And petted us, and ere twas done,
She felt my body, my plump side,
Till I could scarce contain my pride.
Old Gobbler sat neglected quite,
So thin he was a sorry sight,
And she passed him by nor did stop
TO stroke his side or feel his crop.
Again he sought to speak, with me,
Again / scOrned him haughtily,
And he brushed something from his eye.
A tear, I think, as 1 passed by.
Last night 1 had a horrid dream.
1 thought 1 heard Old Gobbler scream:
Don't eat! Don't eat" until the words
Walked me and all the other birds.
Old Gobbler sat there like a sphinx
And watched me as hungry lynx;
1t must have been a dream, and then
closed my eyes in sleep again.
IT'S morning now. here comes Aunt Jane
Her apron full of corn again;
But what grim person that with her
So like an executiOner?
He bears a glittering AK and bright,
In truth, a most revolving sight,
But passes by-Ah, me, the fright
Near took away my appetite.
Now Stops Aunt Jane to bid me beg
For corn. She grabs me by the leg!
:'Ho, Jack" she cries. Come, hurry!
run!
I've got the very latest One"'
He comes across the yard and takes
Me to the chopping block and shakes
His cleaning ax-Old GObbler near.
Goes 'kyouck"' and wipes another tear.
How cold and treacherous is fate!
see 1t all. but it's too late.
Old GObbler's whisper was to warn
Me Of the fate of too much corn.
He loved me! Hear his mournful
''kyouck"'
close my eyes upon the block.
Forgive me, GObbler! Stayed thin
1 had escaped this guillotine.
