HUNTING THE WALRUs.
Daring of the Eskmos and Their Work
With the Harpoon.


With the Harpoon.
With the harpoon as weapon the
hunters left the solid ice to spring
lightly from one small piece to an
other until a pan large enough to hold
them was reached far out in the open
lake. The pieces over which the pas
sage was made were often so small
that they would have sunk under
mans weight had he fatered or hesi-
tated upon them for a moment. II
seemed to me that the Eskimos were
absolutely reckless in this passage
account of the manner in which they
should return. Certainly only fear
less man with a clear eye and nerves
Of iron could accomplish 1t.
A large, safe pan once attained well
In the midst of the blowing walrus, a
stand was taken near its edge, where,
with harpoon poised, the hunter wait
ed until walrus came within striking
distance. Then like lightning the
weapon was sunk deep into the AMI
mails body, and quick as fash har-
poon shaft provided with a heavy
point of iron was driven firmly into
the ice and several turns of line taken
around 1t and held taut by the Eskimo.
This strong line held the walrus in
spite of its struggles to free itself, and
not an inch was surrendered to 1t by
the Eskimo. AS the walrus gradually
tired the line was tightened little by
little until finally the great animal
was well alongside the pan, when it
was quickly dispatched with lance

The Polonzelo Arrow.

"An arrow studded with the most
costly Of stones, tipped at both ends
with pure virgin gold and headed with
the feathers of the rarest birds" Such
is the description given Of the ''Polon-
zelo arrow" which in 1884 was pre-
sented to Sir John Dalcourt by Span
lsh gentleman. This wonderful arrow
was made in 1904 by an ancestor Of
the Spaniard's, and every stone and
jewel with which 1t was set was said
to represent a human life cut short
through it's instrumentality. The stones
indicated the number Of men to whom
it had carried death, while the curious
ly fashioned gold and silver jewels
represented the women who had fallen
under its poisoned point.

That's how l know how long I've

five years. I've waited upstairs, I've
waited downstairs, I've waited at

have been somewhat backward in put

not be, as every lady is welcome at
the park at any time and especially
SO on Tuesdays and Fridays, at which
time they are admitted free of charge.
In addition to this, the president has
received assurances from the heads
of several of the factories in the city

BOY BROWNS IN SIGHT
OF FOUR COMPANIONS,
Fatality Attends Attempt of Musca-
tine Lads to Swim from Bar
to Island.

Harold Young, aged IA years, met
death Sunday in the Mississippi near
Muscatine after a heroic struggle for
life against the current He, in com
pany with about 10 other young men,
had been spending the morning swim
ming about two miles above the city
near Hog island. Five of the party, the
Young boy included, made an attempt
TO swim from a sandbar about $50
yards from the Iowa shore, to Hog is
land. Four of the party succeeded in
making the trip, but Harold did not.
He was half way to the island when he
became frightened, and, fearing he
would not be able to reach shore, turn
ed and started back toward the sand
bar. He had almost reached the bar,
coming within about 80 feet of it, when
he weakened and cried for help. Ac-
cording to the boys present, it was due
more to fright than to any other thing
that he did not reach the sandbar, as
he was a good swimmer. When he
gave up in his attempt to reach the
shore, the current, which is exception
ally swift at that point, swept him back
out into the stream. He rose and sank
about Is times before he finally went
down for the last time.
His brother Merle was standing on
the sandbar when the lad began to
sink and started out to rescue him. He
