HUNTING IN THE ARCTIC.
Some Might Find 1t Cold, Tame Work,
Saws Harry Whitney.


Speaking of his hunting experiences
in and near the arctic circle, Harry
Whitney, the sportsman to whom DR..
Cook intrusted his instruments and
some of his records, said:
Il may go again in the summer, but
never again in the winter. 1 had
enough of that game this trip. The
long arctic winter is terrible. Why,
for 100 days it is pitch dark. There
is the pale arctic moon, of course, but
the depression of the long night is
something to be remembered, can
tell you.
LAS a game country 1t Is wonder
full. 1t was the best shooting 1 ever
enjoyed. l did most Of my shooting
with a 30-40 repeater. The Eskimos
laughed when they saw the calibre Of
this rifle, thinking it not large enough
for bear or walrus. They use forty
fives. The bigger the better they like
them. They were amazed when they
saw how l could stop the game with
the little bullet Of the 30-40. l took
35 calibre north with me, but / did
not use 1t so much as my other gun.
l gave the 35 to an Eskimo.
During the long night l had great
sport with a little automatic % cal
iber rifle. l shot arctic hares, ducks
and all kinds of small game with it,
and the cold didn't affect the auto
matte cartridges in the least, and it
was some cold at that. I went north
mainly to hunt musk oxen, but also
had good luck with other kinds of
arctic game, the polar bear, the seal,
the walrus, white bear and whale. AS
far as hunting went l was very sue
cessful, but to some soprtsmen shoot
ing this game might seem cold, tame
work. OF these specimens of game
the only kinds that are exciting or dan
gerous to hunt are the bear and the
walrus"

It not possible, at any rate, that this
season Of oblivion possesses a deeper
significance than we with our ponder
Gus human. understanding have yet
reasoned out? II sleep were intended
solely to reinvigorate our nervous sys-
tenn and mental condition it would
seem to follow that the greatest think
ers Of the world, the men and women
who do things as well as plan them,
tality, would require the most sleep,
and little reflection will show this to
be the exception rather than the rule.
Take the case of Napoleon Bonaparte
as an illustration. No one will ques-
ton his prodigious energy and won
derful faculties Of reason and fore
sight, the exercise Of which taxed the

he slept only four or five hours Of the
twenty-four, and at last the strain told
upon him, and we are told that "only
half Of his brain seems to have been
awake at the battle Of Waterloo; and
he made up for his insomnia by sleep
ing inordinately at st. Helena" On
the other hand, the illiterate peasant,
who can make but little use Of his
untaught mind, sleeps longer and Of
tener than the educated man, whose
active brain does not crave any inor-
dinate amount Of sleep. A man who
enjoys the best health Is apt to be the
one who rests easily and refreshingly,
while his ailing brother who covets the
solace Of sleep finds difficulty in yield
ing himself to its magic spell.
Perhaps in our unconscious moments
when our mortal eyes are blinded, and
our mortal ears are deafened, the voice
of God Is heard by our deathless souls,
and speedily they break away from
their earthly fleshing and soar upward
through the darkness into the un-
known heights from whence they came,
there to receive their commands from
Him who made them, there relea sed
from their mortal trappings to enjoy
for brief respite the freedom Of IL
limitable space. Perhaps the soul re-
quires refreshment as we'll as the
body; who can tell? The harmony"
in Immortal souls" cannot be wholly
grasped by our weak human under
standing, and it Is a pleasant and
comforting thought, even II not an alb
solutely correct one, to feel that our
souls so often penetrate for brief pc
riods into the same infinite realms Of
space which one day they will enter
never to depart:

His Line.-A number Of drummers
were sitting in a hotel lobby, when
one Of them began to boast that his
firm had the most number of persons
pushing its line Of goods.
There was little argument, and
then a drummer who had not had
much to say before suddenly rose and
said: 'Tn bet any man in the house
that my firm has the most number OF
persons pushing its line Of goods!"
"Done!" exclaimed the boastful one.
The money was accordingly put up
with a stakeholder, and then the
boasting drummer asked: Now, what

"Baby carriages" murmured the
quiet man, as he took the money and
made for the side door.-Judge's LII

On the next morning Nokomis came
to beg her son to cease his fasting.
fearing his death.
She implored him in vain. He was
steadfast to his vow and his determin-
alton. It was the seventh day Of his
agonizing ordeal without food.
"Come back" he called to her as
she went weeping away. "come back
when the cry of the heron from the
desolate marshes tells us that the day
Is ended"
AS the afternoon sun began to
wane, Mondamin came back. Into
the purple twilight they wreastled
until "sky and forest reeled together"
before Hiawatha's aching and suffer-
ing eyes and throbbing temples.
Suddenly the Indian lad stood alone,
staggering and reeling. He looked
for his antagonist, and there he lay
before him dead, his plumage torn and
tattered.

stood the maize in all its beauty, with
its shining robes about It."
With an exultant cry Hiawatha

Thus corn came to the peoples of
the earth-an answer and a reward
to the prayers and the fasting Of an

cHARLEsToN's MUSIC FESTIVAL
Enthusiastic Interest Growing Through
out the State.


Correspondence Of the Yorkville ENQUIRER.
Charleston, October 1S: It is with
the greatest qualification that the
committee sees every day evidences
Of tie keen interest that is being TAX
en- by tire people outside Of Charles
ton in the coming festival, so that
there is every likelihood that the
earnest and faithful work that has
been done and Is still being done, will
meet with rewards more generous
than could have been expected or
hoped for.
This naturally is having effect Of ex-
citing the zeal and vigor Of the vari
Gus committees so as to make 1t pos
sible for them to outdo their former
efforts, and the great encouragement
given them from every source has
stimulated them into accomplishing
more than even they themselves would
have believed possible of their own
strength and ability.
The Festival chorus is rapidly ap-
preaching degree Of finished and ar
tistic execution Of the numbers that
only the greatest credit on the con-
ductor, Mr.. Brueschweiler, but con-
firms the impression that is being CIV
en- all over the state that the united
and undivided support of the entire
city Of Charleston is being given to
the festival by every individual citi-
zen, each helping in such capacity as
his talent and resources give him the
opportunity.
The more that is learned of the
Russian Symphony Orchestra the
more fortunate the musical committee
feels in having been able to draw this
notable aggregation Of musical talent
so far from New York City, the head
quarters Of the organization which fl
nanceS them-the Russian Symphony
Society.
The reports that come in are the
most favorable as the sources from
which they come are the more critical,
and the highest praise comes from
those whose ability to appreciate and
recognize true musical talent and ar
tistic skill cannot be questioned.
Herr Modest Altschuler, the con-
ductor, is a man whose executive abil-
ity and keen intellect give to his mu-
sical nature the tone and balance that
render it possible for him to produce
the finished and artistic performances
that have excited the praises Of half
the continent, with an orchestra so
large that, however great the musical
development and training Of the in
dividual members, the proper co-or-
dination on the part Of each Of the
fifty members is absolutely necessary
to give productions with a maximum
of effect.
1t is perhaps in this latter capacity
that Modest Altschuler most excels.
AS musician he is magnificent, but
as conductor who plays on musici-
ans as a pianist strikes the keys of a
piano, he is superb, perhaps beyond
comparison in this country, in the
opinion Of many excellent critics.
