About $50 years ago there was living in Eyoto friend of Terry Brennan's named Hideyoshi. He is buried there now. He was a great general, but was not pretty; in fact he was called aMonkey Pacen A short time before he died he invaded Korea. As he was not able to go himself he sent two of his generals. As be got nearer death he insisted on his generals showing him some proof that they were gaining victories. They had just won a victory and had slain over 25,000 men. They cut oR their noses aud ears, packed them in saki barrels and shipped them back to him. They are all buried in one place called the "Ear Mound" and there is large stone monument on top.

John Kehoe is the possessor of new calf, the only member of the bovine family that ever had the distinction of being native of the Tanana. It ar rived last Friday and is female. The parents of this noted youngster sailed from the United States on the Macki- naw. and the mother gave milk for the officers of that vessel without remuner- ation. The kindness did not meet with reciprocal fayors: on the contrary, sheA with her kindred and friends, was stranded on a sandbar and herself and her fodder held in hook for exorbitant charges for so-called salvage. How Mir. Kehoe met the demands for more money and finally landed the cows is history chrouicled in the public prints of 1909. The sire shared the Vicissi- tudes of the voyage, and all winter has
 been paying back the cost of his pas~ sage by hauling wood. Next summer be will be drawing blow while his happy offspring frisks over the verdant. pastures of her native land. Through out all future time let us hope there will be DO prouder boast among the aristocrats of the COW kind in this coun- try than that their ancestors sailed in the Mackinaw.-Tanana Leader.
