BOOKER EATS WITH KING.
Moves Up a Notch From a Dinner
With Theodore Roosevelt.

Booker T. Washington, it seems,
told it to the King of Denmark"
the other day. Since the DR.. Cook
episode the Danish King has been
rather backward about whom he in
vited to break bread with him. But
he made an exception in the case of
the negro educator from Tuskegee.
SO on Monday DR.. Washington was
guest at dinner at the royal palace
just out of Copenhagen. Both the
King and the Queen were present at
the dinner, and the colored educator
from Alabama had the seat of honor
at the Kings right hand. Except for
the rule that American citizens must
not receive foreign decorations it is
stated the King of Denmark would
have conferred on Dr. Washington
the Royal Order of Dannsborg. That
is even a little in advance of eating
a lunch at the white house.

that have extended over a century
show that the seals never vary in
their habits. They invariably select
the same spot for giving birth to
their young.
The seals vary considerably in
size, the largest, when full grown,
reaching a length of eight or nine
feet. The extremes of weight are
between so and 300 pounds. The
female hair seal is slightly smaller
than the male. The young seals
grow with marvellous rapidity. When
born they weigh only about five
pounds, but by three or four weeks
later they have increased to 40 or
so pounds. Beneath their skin is a
beautiful coat of white fat from
three to four inches thick.
When they are five or six weeks
old they are in the very best condi-
ton for commercial use. The young
are caught on the ice. especially
while their parents are away, and
are dispatched by blow on the nose
from the gaff. To one who sees it for
the first time or to one who is not
by nature a seal hunter the killing
of these helpless animals seems like
inhuman slaughter. The baby seals
are perfectly tame, and have great
soft brown eyes and trustful faces.
But the seal hunter knows no mercy
All he cares for is that when the
months hunting is over his ship
may go back laden with the greatest
number of skins. The grown seals
are more wary, and are generally
shot on the ice or in the water Not
infrequently they will make a des-
perate fight to protect their young
Surpassed All Records.
AS soon as the hunter has fin
ished the slaughter of a herd of
seals, or even while it is going on,
the animals are skinned. The pelts,
each with it's layer of fat inside, are
laced to ether with a rope and
dragged over the ice to the ship
Sometimes the seals are found in
large numbers long way from the
steamer and then the men, instead
of attempting to carry them thith-
er, pile them up on the ice and place
the ships flag over them. This is
known as 'parning."
Frequently these sealing steamers
make fortune for their owners or
those who charter them. The steam
ship Florizel surpassed all records
in the sealing history of Newfound-
land this year. She left st. John s
on March 10th and struck the main
patch early and on April LIST was
back in St. Johns with a cargo of
49,0G9 seals, valued at $90,8OO.
No matter how staunch a ship may
be, how thick her plates or how mas
sive she is bulkheaded sooner or
later she ventured once too often in
to the Arctic ice Caught between
the grinding foes, whose pressure is
absolutely irres' stible, it it the work
Of but a few minutes to leave her
crushed and useless thing of steel
and wood and her crew castaways
upon the shifting plains of ice and
snow. Sometimes the perverse Jaws
of the icepack grind together Just
long enough to wreck the ship and
then swing open again to let her
sink to the bottom of the Arctic
