KiIIina OFF Savage Sled Dogs.

Malamute dogs, deprived of suffi-
cient food, have become so ferocious
in Nome that the Northern camp has
been compelled to establish a pound
and to take up all dogs whose owners
will not care for them. Unless the
dogs can be tanned they are shot.
Scores of valuable sled dogs have al
ready been killed this winter, and be-
fore spring, it is believed, hundreds
will have to be shot to make Nome
safe for women and children.
A score or more of women and chill
dren have been attacked by half fam
ished Malamutes, and it is almost un.
safe for children to wander about
town unprotected. Even men have
been attacked at times by the dogs,
and only heroic measures adopted by
the town will prevent death or maim-
ing of many people this winter. 1t
was this that led the Nome council to
order the hungry dogs killed. - Port

How One May Meet With Accident

Portable way. Just couple of morn

out of the room. One leg of the pa

veriest chance l caught my great toe

A young artist had brought the late
Mr.. Whistler to view his maiden ef-
fort. The two stood before the canvas
for some moments in silence. Finally
the young man asked timidly, Don't
you think this painting of mine is "a

TOURISTS FIND ICELAND
It Is Described as Fascinating-Sturdy
Iceland Ponies.

II Is Described as Fascinating-sturdy
Iceland Ponies.
Many misconceptions as to Iceland
exist in our country. 1t may surprise
many, says the National Geographic
Magazine, to know that the Icelanders
who have emigrated to America are
said by their relatives to complain
bitterly of the extreme cold of our
winters.
Mr.. Halldor Bjarnarson, a Lutheran
minister on the north coast of Iceland,
writing of the past winter in his dis
trict, says that at no time did he OBJ
serve the temperature to drop below
zero degrees Fahrenheit That was
almost on the Arctic circle.
Two lines of steamships maintain
regular allthe-year sailings between
Denmark, Scotland and Iceland by
way of the Farce islands. The single
passage to Reykjavik, the capital of
tie island, on the southwest coast, re-
Quires from three to four days from
Leith, or five to seven days from Co.
peniagen.

nually carrying more and more tour
lists to an island which is but just be-
coming recognized as one of the most
interesting and fascinating lands in
the world.
Excluding meals, which cost 81 a
day, the round trip fare between eth
er Copenhagen or Leith and Iceland is
about $50.
Barring the possibility of driving on
narrow carriage road for about one
days ride from the capital, and posi-
bly, a less distance from some of the
smaller towns, all travel must be
made on pony back. Much has been
written about the Icelandic pony He
is individual, type by himself, and
the word sturdy" is his best descrip-
tion.

He Had 1913 Chances.

Gov. Stuart Of Pennsylvania said re-
Gently in Harrisburg of a bill that he
opposed:
"This bill, at first glance, is full of
promises and enthusiasm and hope,
but it is naive. 1t is like the young
man of Kensington who proposed for
the hand of the millionaire's daugh-
ter.
"'Well,' said the millionaire, frown-
ing thoughtfully, what are your pros
poets? Is there any chance for pro-
motion in your business?
"'Any chance?' cried the young
man. 'Well,I should say so. Why,
we employ 200 men, and my job is
next to the lowest in the establish
ment'"

CoIorado's New Industry,

There was a time when Colorado
vas regarded as principally a mining
tate, but that time has passed." said
\. E. De Ricqules, general manager of
4! live stock company of Denver.
This winter, for instance. the state
will take care Of 100000 sheep that
we're raised on the grazing lands of
Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Texas and
,ther states. This has become one Of
,ur great industries, the number of
he sheep taken care of being about
he same as last year. The beet
sugar industry is large and the fod-
der from the beets is fed to the sheep,
also hay and corn. Pens are built,
and the young lambs, taken from
their mothers who reared them in 9TH
er states, put in these pens, fattened,
and then in the spring killed for the

ADVERTISING IN BERLIN.
No Billboards-Price Of Space on
Pillars Fixed by City.

No BiIIboards-Price Of Space on
Pillars Fixed by City.
Billboards for advertising purposes
are prohibited in Berlin. Their place
is taken by pillars or columns erected
at street corners.
These columns, which are usually Of
wood and iron, are about IL feet high
and feet in diameter. Built at the
edge of the sidewalk, they form a
conspicuous feature of street life in
that city.
1t is interesting to note, says the
Circle, that the matter displayed on
these columns is more in the nature
of reading notices than of pictures
The privilege of erecting and using
these advertising columns is awarded
by the city to the highest bidder. Ac-
cording to the terms of the lease now
in force, the city receives an annual
rental of about $95,2OO, but cannot
grant a similar privilege to any one
else. The life of the lease is ten
years.
The price which the successful bid
der may charge for space is regulated
by the Berlin authorities All posters
before they are put up must be ap-
proved by the police. Except in special
cases, the advertising space is award
ed according to the order of applica-
ton. The city reserves the right to
demand the posting of it's notices free.
A Gentle Hint.
At home stations the private
soldiers washing is usually done by
the married soldiers wives, who are
expected to sew on missing buttons
and do little repairs, for which small
sum is deducted from the private's
pay.
Private McGinnis had a great deal
of trouble with his laundress. Satur.
day after Saturday had his shirt come
back with the neck button off or else
hanging by single thread. He had
spoken to her on the subject, and she
had promised to see after it, but still
the button was not on properly.
! He got out of patience one Sunday.
when the missing button had made
! him late for parade, and exclaimed,
bad cess to the woman; I'll give her
hint this time, anyhow" He took
the lid off his tin blacking box-about
three inches in diameter-punched two
holes in it with fork, and then tied
it on the neck Of the shirt that was
next to be washed.
! Next Saturday, when his washing
i, came back, the whole room gathered
! round to see If she had taken the hint;
she had-she had made a buttonhole
to fit it!
