Science has dissected four Eski-
mos In the city of New York. 1t
has been engaged some time now
in vivisecting a fifth, Meme, aged
%, a mere boy although of man S
age. OF course, they have not taken
Mene's body apart to see how it
works, but they have taken his
mind apart. They have studied him
in every phase of his thought and
habit. Inconsistencies has been very
interesting to these scientists, and
they have studied that, too, while
Meme has suffered.it. In the boys
longing for his dead father the
scientists found an interesting
study; in his yearning for cold and
snow they have been deeply inter-
ested.
This boy most Americans have
regarded as a guest of the nation,
but in fact he has been treated as
a scientific curiosity-as most in
teresting, but unfortunately living,
specimen for sciences dissecting
room. He was brought here with
four other Eskimos in 1896 by
Peary on his return from one of his
trips in search of the pole. Peary
turned him over to friends, and,
being absorbed in his explorations,
forgot the boy.
Meme recently left the home of
the one friend he had in white
mans land, Chester BeecrOft, of
New York. He had often talked
about returning to his native home
in the frozen north, and it was
believed that he started on the
long journey. Shortly before his
disappearance he dictated the fol-
lowing story to w. G. Shepherd,
New York correspondent of this
newspaper. Mr.. Shepherd thinks
that Meme intended it to be his
final word before he allowed the
north to swallow him up.-Editor,

longer. Then the museum people
got Mr.. William Wallace, superin-
tendent of the museum, to adopt
me. He took me home.
1t took me many weeks to feel
that | was myself again. They told
me that my father had been buried
Then Mr.. Wallace got into
trouble about ~me. He thought
the museum people ought to
send me back. Morris K. Jessup
who is now dead, president of the
museum, didn't like Mr.. Wallace's
idea. Some feeling arose between
them. The first thing | knew Mr.
Wallace was let out of his place
in the museum. But he was still
as kind to me as if l were his own
son. He sent me to school and
bought me clothes. Mrs. Wallace
told me all about the Bible and
went to Sunday school.

BY MEME,
The Eskimo Boy.

There were 800 Eskimos in our
village in Greenland when Peary
first came there. We didn't know
that there were any other people in
the world beside us. We lived in
snow houses, and have learned in
school that we lived the furthest
north of any human beings. The
Humboldt glacier was near our vii
lage, and several explorers thought
they were doing well when they got
even as far as where we lived.
Peary's guns attracted us most.
My father used to have flint knives
with which he killed polar bears
and walruses. He took his life in
his hand whenever he went out to
get food. He was the chief of the
village and his name was Keeshoo
Peary's men went out with their
guns and we saw them hide behind
snowdrifts and kill bears without
going near them. My father, who
loved his tribe, saw that guns
would be fine thing for US.
So Peary promised my father to
give him guns If he would come to
America and bring four other Eski-
mos with him. My father agreed
and chose me and two Eskimo girls
and another man from the village.
And so we took ship.
Oh, If We had only known what
terrible things awaited us!
New York was wonderful to see.
But New York seemed to think We
were as wonderful. We were kept
down in the hold OF his ship and
exhibited us for long time. Thou
sands of folks came to see us. We
didn't get any money for it. We
didn't need money.
Pretty soon they moved us to
the National Museum of History.
Lots of people came to see us here.
My father used TO worry because
we didn't see anything more OF
Peary, the man we had known as
at our home.
My father began to worry about
how to get back TO his people.
Then one of the girls was taken
sick one morning. They took her
away. Then the other girl was
taken sick. They took her away
too. Then the man was taken sick
They took him away. Only my
father aud ] were left. He kept
4 thinking that Peary would come to
him and In our room at night he
used to talk only of that and OF
getting back home with his guns.
Then, all of sudden. my father
began coughing. He grew weaker
and weaker. A doctor came to look
ri him one day and the next day
4 they came and took him away to n
hospital. and he died.
Pretty soon began to see that
