we'll loaded. They had about sixty
dogs, and had secured several car
casses of walrus, and cached them on
the ice as food for the dogs.
One morning, says the captain,
who tells the story, my Indian boy,
Nepenack, came running up the
plank, shouting at the top of his
voice that there was a bear near the
ship.
I am not much of a hunter, but 1
object to being run over by game; so
1 always keep a rife and belt of car
tridges within reach. 1 grabbed
them and started to look for the beari
AS I drew near the meat cache 2
saw big polar bear, with his head
down in the barrel, helping himself
vigorously. The whole pack of sixty
dogs were leaping, barking and
bowling about him. The bear paid
no attention to them, and they alb
seemed afraid to take hold of him.
1 walked up to within hundred
yards and took a shot at old Ursus
arcticus.
When the ball hit him he leaped
into the air, and as he came down on
the ice the entire pack of dogs ''lit
into him.
The bear let out in all directions
with his great paws, and at every
blow some poor dog was sent Shrek
ing and spinning across the ice.
AS soon as the bear had thinned
out the pack sufficiently to escape;
he struck out across the ice-fioe for a
bit of open water half a mile away
At that stage of the game there
were but three dogs in the whole
pack that wanted bear. The others
had had more than they cared for.
But In a few seconds the race was
reversed, and the dogs were coming
for the ship as if they had been shot
out of gun, and the bear was after
them. This was my chance, and
fred again, and my shot finished him.
BY this time the whole crew had
come out to see the fun. We put a
line around the bears neck and
dragged him on board, where we
skinned him.
While the fight was going on, I
would have sworn the bear would
weigh ton, but when we got him on
deck he seemed to have grown much
smaller. Still, he was a good-sized
animal,

WISDOM OF ELEVEN.

The latest definition of the woman
suffragist is furnished by a strong
minded girl of eleven, who attends a
certain fashionable private school. At
a Sunday luncheon recently this child
announced to her parents that she
was going to hear debate on woman
suffrage.
-,tThe class just above the one I'm
in is holding it," she said Importantly.
''The debaters are reading up a lot
for it, and they said I must be sure
to come"

her, "you don't know anything about
woman suffrage. You don't even
know the meaning of the term"

The End.
Man Making.

The earliest maps of which we
have any knowledge were made in
Egypt. They were wooden tablets,
on which were traced land and sea,
roads, rivers, highways, ETC., Marinus,
of Tyre, $50 A. D., was the first to at
tempt map on scientific principles
The maps in use by the Greeks and
Romans were fairly accurate, so far
as they went, but those in use during
the Middle Ages were alarmingly in
accurate. 1t is only within recent
years, say, since the middle of the
last century, that it was possible to
make complete and reliable map of
the world; ano even yet the best map
is subject to slight change ges.-New

Costs of Office,

On the day after his election the
chief magistrate of certain town
in the Midlands, who enjoys the
reputation of being rather near" in
money matters, was asked for a sub
scription to the local football club.
Il really can't do it," he replied.
"Just look at the outlay I've already
been put to through accepting office!"
And he produced small ledger, in
scribed on the cover, ''Mayoralty Ex-
penses." On the top line of the first
inside page was the entry, Dress

Opening the Harbor.

Each spring the steamer Corwin,
formerly revenue cutter, built
strongly of oak, with an iron sheathed
bow and iron stern for bucking ice,
breaks the winter blockade at Nome
and places that Alaskan city in touch
with the rest of the world. This year
she sails from Seattle on May 10 for
her first trip of the season. After
pounding her way through the ice she
anchors seven or eight miles off shore,
sleds go out to her with brass band
and many prominent citizens, who
board the vessel and search out all
the fresh fruit and vegetables they
can find.-Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

The Hat and Royalty.

The hat plays a considerable part
in civilization as sign and symbol,
quite apart from it's purpose as a
shelter against the weather. In the
Mother of Parliaments the etiquette
regarding it is so elaborate that new
members frequently find themselves
involved in difficulties. There are
two peers who to this day possess the
right of remaining covered in the
presence of royalty, if they care to
exercise it. And the King always
puts on his Field-Marshal's hat be-
fore he reads the speech to the as,
senbled Lords and Commons.--Loni

PROFANITY.

Since the Holy Name Society of
the Roman Catholic church gave the
two notable parades in Pittsburg and
Washington as a protest against pro-
family the press of the nation has been
discussing the senselessness and utter
stupidity of profanity with a direct
ness which cannot fail to bring results.
Probably the most thoughtful state
ment ever made concerning blasphe-
nous language is this utterance made
by Prof Thomas r. Lounsbury:
Profanity is a brain test; the habit
is. in consequence, subject to the gem
eral laws governing intensiveness. To
very great extent the practice of
swearing is specially characteristic of
a rude and imperfect civilization. With
the advance Of culture profanity de-
clines. II declines not so much be-
cause men become peculiarly sensitive
to it's yiciousness, but they do to its
ineffectiveness-the growth of refine
ment both in the individual and in the
community, Much must always be al
lowed in the case of particular persons
for the influence of early training and
association. Exceptions are, therefore,
too numerous to lay down any positive
rule; still, il is safe to say in general
that mans intellectual development
is largely determined by the extent of
his indulgence in profanity.

down.

FosS' SEcTIoNALISM.

Eugene Foss of massachusetts,, who
was for years a republican till he
recently switched to the democracy
wants about everything on the free
list but what is manufactured in New
England. He would place the North
Dakota farmers in most embarrass-
ing position--if his methods went
through. Senator McCumber worked
for. years to retain high duty on
North Dakota grain. Foss would wipe
this out.
In an editorial on the attitude of the
Massachusetts man, The Washington
Post says:
Eugene Fass comedies nothing to
the sure-footed democrats who are
making an effort to arrest that wild
desire to destroy protection Of Ameri-
can industries which always seizes
upon the party after. victory. But

rect legislation. Being sfrewd New

SITUATION IN MEXICO.

The country of Mexico, always a
puzzle to outsiders. is still more of a
puzzle in the present series OF out
breaks.
The immediate cause Of the disturb
ances is still more obscure or course,
it is generally known that while Diaz
is nominally president of the republic
of Mexico he is in reality a military
dictator, and that there has been dis
satisfaction with his rule for many
years. Tales of cruelty and oppres-
sion are constantly coming to the out
side world, only to be vehemently de-
MED.
And il is also generally conceded
that though Diaz is really an emperor
in a republic, he has given Mexico a
stable government so far under which
the country's resources have been de-
veloped and the nation has attained a
recognized place in the financial world.
The revolt began several weeks ago
with hostile outbreaks against Ameri-
cans and American interests in Mexico
City. Following these, riots of more or
less magnitude occurred in many cities.
in which several hundred people so far
have been killed. The latter outbreaks
seem to have been directed against the
DiaZ government.

A KANSAS HINT.

While other states are talking
good roads and devising some means
of having the state, the railways, or
somebody else, build them the farmers
of Iowa and Kansas have actually built
roads by cooperation and without any
outside assistance.
Iowa built model highway across
the entire state in an hour and now
Kansas farmers have adopted the same
tactics. and . short time ago built
twenty miles Of model highway 10 a
single day.
For years the farmers Of Montgom-
cry coun+7, Kansas. had been talking
good roads. They finally got tired OF
talk, and through the officers of the
Montgomery County Good Roads asso-
citation. which was organized only a
month ago, called all the farmers of
the county together and actually built
a model highway from CoffeyvIlle to
Independence in a single day.

the greatest living thinkers. He is
interested in so many branches of hu-
man activity that it is difficult to un-
derstand how, he has found time to be.
come versed in such varied subjects.
Mr.. Bryce came to the United States
many years ago, and in a short time
learned enough about this government
to write the best work ever produced
on the United States government and
it's development
Many years later his government
honored the United states by sending
him here as ambassador and he has
doubtless been more helpful to this
country than any other foreign repre-
sentative ever accredited here. He has
visited the leading educational instftu-
tons of the country from ocean to

for addresses on all sorts of memorable
occasions.
His ripe experience and education
have fitted him admirably for his Of

gets his land, two miles from Dickin-

The contest was based on the fact
that G. Il. Merry had resided in the
city during the five years of the home
stead period, He had cultivated the
land and had some improvements, but
the claim house, at the time the con-
test was instituted, was not suitable
or a winter habitation.
However, after the contest was insti-
tuted, the family moved upon the
claim, abandoning their house in the
city, and with their own hands broke
up nearly the entire quarter.

they lived in Dickinson for the pur-

that they had made all the improve
