THE AGILE ESKIMO.
Habit Enables Him to Scale Ice Clad |
Heiqhts With Ease.

'In all my experience / had never
encountered rougher, more difficult
country in which to hunt than in
Ellesmere land" writes Harry Whit
ney In Outing. "Ordina rily | should
have believed these mountain sides,
with walls of smooth rock sheathed
with crust of hard ice and snow,
quite unscalable.
"In places they were almost perpen-
dicular. Rarely did they offer crew
ice to serve as foot or hand hold, and
jutting points and firm set powders
were too widely scattered to be Of
much help.
"In this his native land the Eskimo
has q decided advantage over the
white hunter. His lifetime of expert
ence has taught him to scale these
ice clad heights with nimbleness and
ease that are astounding. He is quite
fearless, and even the mountain sheep
is not his superior as a climber.
"As If by magic and with little APP
parent effort the two Eskimos flew UP
the slippery walls, far outstrlpping
me. How they did it 1 shall never
know. Now and again l was forced
to cut steps in the ice or l should in
evitably have lost my footing and
been hurled downward several hun
dred feet to the rocks beneath.
81 was astonished even at my own
progress, and when l paused to glance
behind me I felt momentary panic.
But there was no turning back, and
one look robbed me of any desire to
try it.
'"The Eskimo has no conception OF
distance He is endowed with certain
artistic instincts which enable him tc
draw fairly good map Of coast
line with which he is thoroughly ia
miliar but he cannot tell you how far
1t is from one point to another. Often
when Eskimos told me a place we were
bound for was very close at hand it
developed that we were far from 1t.
This they are never sure of and can
not indicate.
"The Eskimos have white man
'stung to death from every point of
view. They not only can go to sleep
promptly, but sleep soundly and well
as they travel when circumstances
permit. They get sustenance, too, by
eating hard frozen walrus and seal
meat or blubber. This l could never
do for 1t is so strong in flavor that it
Invariably nauseated me, though did
succeed very we'll with raw hare or

pounds of meal for every man, wo-
man and child in this country, count
ing the population at 90,000,00O. And
Is pounds of meal will make 20 loaves
of bread, capable of furnishing suffi-
Gent bread to last the average person

The past winter has been so wet
and cold that farmers have been una
BILE to gather their corn but have left
the ears on the stalk in the fields.
The seed which will be planted by the
farmers this spring will be taken from
this corn.
Six weeks ago the Nebraska State
agricultural college secured samples
from every county in the state and by
experimentation discovered that one
out of every six ears was completely
ruined as seed and would neither
grow nor sprout. This information
was published in bulletin, and the
commercial bodies of the state, fear
ing the farmers would not pay the
proper attention to the warning, have
banded themselves together to impress
upon them the necessity Of closely
inspecting their seed corn, the penalty
of failure to do so being loss OF
one-sixth of the crop of the state
amounting to 27,000,000.
The plan evolved by the commercial
bodies and railroads to attract the at
tenticn OF the farmer to the danger, is
unique Storekeepers in practically
every hamlet in the state have beer
asked to cooperate, and with the aid
of the railroads, the state college lee
turers, storekeepers, and every news
paper in the state, 1t is hoped to gel
the facts from every farmer who
plants corn.

jackson, Miss, March About
two thirds Of the members of the Mis-
sissippi legislature left this morning
at $50 o'clock on a special train for
Meridian, where several hours were
spent this afternoon inspecting the
Matte Hersee Hospital, an institution
partly supported by state appropria-
ton.
Some of the legislators took advant-
age of the opportunity to go home for
the weekend to look after personal
business, but majority of both houses
was aboard the special, and the junket-
ing trip will not be brought to an end
until Sunday night.
From Meridian the party will go
to Starkville to inspect the A. & M.
College. and from Starkville to Co
lumbus to inspect the Industrial Insti-
tute G College. The final point to be
visited will be the University of Mis-
sissippi at oxford.
When the Wood resolution was first
presented in the lower house Wednes-
day morning many members regard
ed it only as a proposal to go on a
pleasure junket and opposed its adop-
ton. after a lively debate, however
it was adopted and sent Immediately
over to the senate The members OF
the latter body also failed to see any
necessity for the trip. and, by a
very decisive vote, refused to concur,
and this apparently knocked the plan
IN the head.
Yesterday morning the friends OF
the three big educational institutions
, commenced missionary work among
he members and pointed out to them
the necessity of legislative inspec-
ton OF the three colleges before TAX
ing final action on the pending appro'
priation bills. While these measures
have been pending since the early
, part of the session, neither has passed
9th houses, and they are now on the
calendars in an unfinished shape.

about seven miles east of this city,
on the A. & V. road, was received at

The remarkable success that has at
tended l.. T. Cooper during the past
year has not been confined to any one
locality, but is so widespread that
the young man is now well-known
figure in most of the leading cities of
the country.
Mr. Cooper believes that the stom-
ach is the foundation for most ill
health, and claims that his prepare
ton, by regulating the stomach. is a
true specific for most diseases. The
following extract from the Tribune of
Minneapolis gives an idea of the sur
prising number of people who are ac-
cepting Cooper's theory. The article
was one of many that appeared during
Cooper's stay in Minneapolis, and is
as follows:
1.-The sale of Cooper's preparation
is now phenomenal in this city, and
an estimate made today seems to in
dictate beyond all doubt that 1t will
equal the large figures reported from
Pittsburg during the thirty days Mr..
Cooper spent in that city.
During the past twenty-four days
Mr.. Cooper has been in Minneapolis,
the sale of his preparation has aver
aged about two thousand bottles a
day. When the amount of medicine
disposed of throughout the state is
added to this, the amount will be
doubled. Therefore, the young man
has sold in twenty-four days eighty
eight thousand bottles of his medicine
in the state of Minneapolis alone

REMARKABLE RECORD MADE
BY COOPER in MINNEAPOLIS

which is a truly remarkable record.
During the past week so many hun
dreds of Minneapolis people have
been calling to thank Cooper for the
good he has accomplished with his
medicine, that it is safe to say that
his visit will long be remembered by
the sick of the city,"
In this connection statement from
o. G. Stark, of -Owatonna, Mimi, will
be of interest to some. He says:
Several years ago l was taken i'll
with stomach trouble, suffering the
most terrible pain. Doctors helped
me temporarily, but the attacks re-
turned in little while with in creas-
ed severity 1 got so bad that had
to quit work.
"On the advince of friend began
taking Cooper's New Discovery, and
treatment of this remarkable medi-
cine restored me to my former good
health. l now eat well, sleep well,
and feel well, and have lost no time
on account of illness since taking the
Cooper medicine.
Several months have gone by since
stopped using the New Discovery,
and there has been no return of my
former trouble. Anyone who has
stomach trouble will make no mistake
in giving Cooper's New Discovery

it,"
