Standing CALAMITY on the raft and
giving pantomimic suggestions to the
Hawaiian canoe paddlers, Judge A. Will

tablished their title to the Carnegie /,
hero fund by rescuing a party of surf /.
ers upset in the cOmbers off the Moana |
Hotel beach on Tuesday last. The incl |
dent illustrates to a nicely the rare
value of presence of mind in an emer- !
gency. Mr.. and Mrs. Rear, of Van |
cOuver, Judge Williams, of the British |
Columbian bench, and Miss Won Walt |
zahn, of Berlin, made up one canoe !
load of suffers; Mr.. and Mrs. J. A. |
Bergin, of Los Angeles and Miss Fran
els and Miss Addie Murphy, of Helena,
Montana, made up a second eanoeful,
and it was these latter who had to be
rescued. Mr.. Bergin, who is the vice
president of the Los Angeles Soap Com
pany, ightened the swamped canoe to :
the amount of 215 pounds by hopping
nut and washing himself ashore, while
he ladies wildly baled. Then it was
hat the rescuers made good. Without
/ moment s hesitation both the judge

Then they urged on the paddlers in

About the mouths Of the streams on
which salmon camps are situated the
Indian dogs and children amuse them
selves catching the fish. Some of the
youngsters are SO small that after they
have succeeded in cornering a fish
the combined efforts Of the party are
often required to dispatch it and carry
1t to camp. I have watched dogs run
ming about In rift swapping at the
salmonian apparently having the time
Of their lives. -
One Of the most amusing sights that
I saw during my stay in Alaska was
two Indian boys being towed about
the harbor at Kadiak by huge hall
but they had just hooked. Utterly un-
able to land the fish, they had fastened
the. line to the stern Of the boat, and
while they pulled with all their might,
each one at an oar, they rallied each
other for not exerting more strength
and shouted loudly for help. Finally
an Indian put out in boat, and the
fish was landed.-Forest and Stream.

The Pria and His Cane.

4
In the number Of the Taller for Oct.
8, t1709, 1t is observed that "a cane is
part of the dress tof a prig'' this, By
the way, shows the erroneous notion
prevalent that Hpriggishness'' Is q
modern word "and always worn upon
ID button, for fear he should be thought
10 have an occasion for It be esteem
I'd really and not genteelly cripple"
In the number Of Nov. 18 a rural
tquire in town is sketched who is the
prototype Of one Of the pavement nui-y
sances: "His arms naturally swung at
an unreasonable distance from his
sides, which, with the advantage Of a
cane that he brandished In great va
riety Of irregular motions, made it un-
safe for any one to walk within sew
eral yards Of him."
And under date Of Dec 5 there is an
amusing sketch of "a lively, fresh col
pred young man" who was among the
applicants to Isaac Bickerstaff's court
Of censorship for license to use "canes,
perspective glasses, snuffboxes, orange
flower waters and the like ornaments
Of life." This young man had his cane
hanging on his fifth button and Was

A Wedding Superstition.

b It has been considered un1ucky to be
married in May ever since the days Of
Ovid, and those people who have spent
their time in looking up roots and
reasons have given what they consider
to be the origin Of the superstition as
follows:
In ancient Rome there was held in
May festival called the Lemuria, or
feast Of the 5Lemures, which was a
ceremony In honor Of the speeches Of
departed souls. It became with the
Romans what we should call "bad
form" to have matrimonial feasts at
the season Of a solemn ritual, being no
doubt thought to be an insult to the
dead to marry at such a time. From
this number Of stories grew Of the
revenge made by the outraged ghosts
upon those who dared to disregard
them, and If anything unfortunate hap
Epened to a couple who had been mar
lried In May it would, Of course, have
been put down to retribution. So the
tradition Of i'll luck arose. and its In
duence has lasted ever since, even to
our time.

How the Cow Helped Australia

How the Cow Helped Australia.
Corn is king in America and the
cow Is queen In Australia" remarked
4. J. Guthrie, agricultural editor of
the Sydney Mail. 1.-The COW has re-
deemed the country, the hundreds of
farmers who lost nearly all they had
by the drouth Of 1902 are now better
on than they ever were, and It is all
due to the COW. Australian butter
ranks well up with the best butter
In the world.
Our butter making Is all done by
the cooperative creamery system. It
has been years since the farmer made
butter on the farm. We have little
use for dual purpose COW in -.as-
tralia. That is, the dairy farmer wants
cow that will give milk ten months
In the year, and ne uses it for no other
purpose, while those who raise cattia
for beef have no thought of milk pro-
duction."

A Long Trip

Sergeant John Walsh of Troop
B, United States cavalry, was a
caller at our office this forenoon.
He is walking on a wager of
$4,000 by the Hearst papers
that a soldier Of the United
States cavalry could not walk
from Bosten to San Francisco
and return in one hundred and
eighty days. ninety days each
way. Mr.. Walsh left Boston on
August IL, 1908 and is now on
his way back to Boston, having
left San Francisco on October
|25th. With him as watcher is
George w. Farris, a newspaper
man, who drives overland in
stead of walking. Mr.. Walch is
in good physical condition, but
only weighs about 100 pounds
now, against 1876 when he be-
gan the long journey. However
his appetite is of the best, and
he feels like a fighting cock
He has to earn his own meals
along the route, which he does
by selling autograph cards
bearing these words: "The man
with the Flag across the
Continent in Ninety Days"
4 Walsh is dressed in the regu-
lation cavalry uniform and his
small handbag is draped with 9
flag, which has to be in sight
all of the time, as one Of ths
conditions. He follows the wa.
gon roads wherever possible.
Walsh has to register at tht
postoffices at the various towns
through which he passes and
has his book nearly filled witt
these signatures. When he ar
rived in Mo Valley he hunted
up Postmaster Album for tn
necessary signature.
Walsh was born in 1856 an,
