I'VE have some pupils who have in

six inches. while the majority have
over four inches.
Some OF these pupils can far ex-

theory OF the system IS borne out IN

along the Idea that In order to pro-

class who handed IN their certificates
of vaccination was a beautiful girl,
plump and healthy, already on record
as having a five inch chest expansion.
She had a statement In her hand signed
by her family physician. in which the
medico declared the girls health

Women with regular features. peaches

sculptor, says 80. At least he says that
every human being is beautiful, one as
much so as the other Nature is never
under any circumstances ugly.

narrates an incident that occurred at
Valdez. The place was overcrowded
with prospectors and miners. food was
scarce, and there was a good deal OF
sickness. Many had come over the
glacier, and other had lost their lives
in the attempt.
A dog-team galloped up. and stopped
in front of the only pretense of a hotel
at Valdez. The night was dark. as
the Northern winter nights always are
when the moon is not shining The
dogs Immediately lay down, almost ex-
hausted from their long trip, and the
two men were soon surrounded by in
curing friends. One of the two said:
What do you think, fellows?. Just
this side Of SawmiH camp we passed
woman who was pulling a sled on
which was her sick husband. We re-
monstrated against the undertaking Of
crossing the glacier, but she replied
that they might as we'll die up there
as anywhere else, as II meant certain
death to stop. Our dogs could only
pull our outfit. and there wasn't grub
enough for all, so we were compelled
10 leave them. They viii be at the
last timber tonight and If somebody
doesn't so to their rescue. they will be

A man stepped out from the crowd
and said:
"rll go for one. Now who else has

mine?v

another.
It was o'clock in the morning be-
fore they had made their selection OF
dogs and were ready to start on that
hazardous trip.
"There goes the best dog team in
Alaska and driven by the two best men

turned a corner and were gone.
The trail was easily followed, and
soon the nine miles of level bench were
passed. The speed slackened only
when they were ascending the sum-

morning.
