HE SLID SOME.

A Schofield man tried a new stunt
on Grand Ave. last evening-skating
on the bridge of his nose. This morn
ing he said it reminded him of the
old poem 81 Stood on the Bridge at
Midnight" The man came to town
yesterday to get his horses shod
While the horses were getting pairs
of nice new shoes, the man went to
interview the fellow with the white
apron, so the police say, and he tar
ried quite while. When he started
for home he had a mishap on the
avenue. The wagon slid to one side
and the attraction of gravity being
very strong just at that particular
time, the driver fell out on his nose
and south side of his vest and then
stepped on his upper lip. When he
arose halo of profanity encircled
his head, leading him into mixup
with the minions of the law. He
slept in the basement of the city hall
over night.

HUNTING THE WALRUS.
The Eskimo Taxes Advantage of the
Animals Curiosity.

Animals Curiosity.
In his frail skinboat it Is a difficult
and dangerous task for the Eskimo to
go out to sea forty to sixty miles and
intercept the walrus as he passes on
his migration into the Arctic.
One carcass will fill his boat, for it
weighs from 1000 to 5000 pounds.
He hunts the walrus when they are
lying asleep on the ice foes in herds
from ten to several hundred. Death
must be instantaneous. else with a few
rolls or the peculiar numbering, hump
ing movement (seen of the seal when
ashore), he makes the few feet to the
sufficient blubber and air to float. He
has much natural curiosity, and If not
scared by shots will come up close to
your boat or the ice foe on which you
are sitting squirting. snorting and roll
ing his eyes; with his cleaning tusks
and bristed snout he has an uncanny,
goblin. monster-like appearance. A
herd of fifty or sixty of them will come
up en- maSse. raise high out of the
water to stare at you, then snort,
squirt and disappear again. only to
come up on the same spot and repeat
the maneuver indefinitely. Taking
advantage of this the Eskimos hide be-
hind ice hummocks and throw a har-
poon into one, then snub the tough
rawhide line around an ice cake. He
must perforce come up to blow, and he
is then killed with the rifle. The thick
skin and the mass of blubber and meat
beneath render him almost invulner-
able.-Pacific Monthly

OLD SETTLER DIES.

Mrs. Julius Hardell died yesterday
afternoon at the hour of 100 at her
home 405 Chicago Ave. She had been
i'll about a week, and death resulted
from the bursting of blood vessel in
her head. She was sixty-eight years
of age at the time of her death and
is survived by seven children. One
son resided with his mother; the rest
are married and scattered. Her hus-
band died in June, 1909.
Mrs. Hardeli vas a pioneer in this
county and her fathers family was
one of the first settlers in the town of
Berlin. She lived in that town nearly
all her life, until about eight years
ago, when the old homestead was
turned over to one of the sons, Les,
and she with her husband and son,
Carl, moved into the city. The fun
eral services will be conducted Thurs
day morning at $50 from the resi-
dence and interment will re made in
the town of Berlin.

AS TO WOMEN.

Editor Pilot
Some fellow laboring under a load
of turkey, stuffing and cranberry
sauce, said in Fridays issue of a
Chicago newspaper that women have
increased two and one-half inches in
height in the past twenty-five years,
while men have grown that much
shorter. This goes to show that you
can't keep a woman down. If this
same proportion of difference between
men and women keeps up, we think
we see the finish of the male sex, and
our eyesight amt any the best either.
Figure it yourself on this basis:
In a few centuries women will be
giantesses and men will be shrimps.
Fancy a man three feet in height
trying to make love to sixteen-year-
old girl fourteen feet tall. Why, she
could put him in her shopping bag,
without mussing up her powder
chamois, hairpins and chewing gum

A corporation dance will be given
Friday night in the club house as
usual. The boys feel that if good
crowd does not turn out this time,
that there is not enough interest to
continue these dan ,es. So all those
who would like to have these dances
given every few weeks all season had
better show up Friday night.
The first meeting of the new de-
batting club was postponed last
Wednesday night and will be held
this Wednesday evening at 1870. All
the members are urged to attend, as
this is very important meeting and
among other things the first election

THANKSGIVING DAY.

Thanksgiving day, 1910, will pass in
to history as one of the most pleasant,
both as TO weather conditions and in
the general good time enjoyed by
everybody, known in our city Cor
some time. In the morning tGe in
dications were that it would be 9. day
full of rain and sleet, but conditions
changed and before the noon hour the
sun was shining and the balance OF
the day was more like September
weather than the last of November.
There was only a few drawbacks to
make the day complete-there was no
foot ball games; the ice was too thin
for skating and only enough snow to
cover the ground. Nevertheless there
was thanksgiving spirit manifested
throughout the city that showed it
was Thanksgiving day in deed as well
as ia fact.
The post office and all stores and
Offices were closed and the employees
given an opportunity to enjoy the day
of rest and recreation.
Many dinners were furnished TO the
poor by the churches and other socie-
ties. The committee in charge of the
charitable fund, donated by generous
citizens, was enabled to abundantly
provide for 260 people and besides the
usual substantial things, there were
candy, apples and other delicacies
placed in each basket which helped
to make a dinner worthy of the
day. These baskets were distributed
in a very systematic way by Frank
Schneider, the poor commissioner of
the city. Besides, there were many
families not actually destitute who
were supplied, the names being handed
in by men who donated to the fund.
In the hospital, insane asylum and
county home the day was an unusual
one for all inmates.
There were services held in nearly
all the churches and there were union
services conducted in the Baptist
church at which Rev. T. B. T. Fisher
preached the sermon.
