There is nothing that so endears a wo-

STRANGE DOGS OF ALASKA.
Most Common Breed is the MaIamute
or Native Doq.

Most Common Breed is the MaIamute
or Native Dog.
Dogs in Alaska are Of all breds and
sizes. the most common being the mall
amute, or native dog, says a writer in
the Wide World Magazine. The word
''malamute" is an Indian word mean
ing Eskimo, and is applied to both
dogs and natives. The malamute is Of
the wolf strain-in fact, the best Of the
breed are half wolf. They evince all
the characteristics of the wolf, both in
appearance and in manners. Owing to
his wolf-like fur, the malamute can
easily stand the extreme Alaskan cold.
He is a born fighter, an inveterate
thief, and somewhat Of a coward, for
he will seldom fight singly against a
lone adversary. The malamute, while
well able to withstand the cold, does
not seem to have the same order Of in
telligence as Is displayed by the out
side dog, and the best dog for Alaska
would seem to be a mixture of the two
strains.
Another native breed in the north is
the huskie, but this breed is rarer than
common usage of the word would i'm
ply. The real huskies are bred in the
neighborhood Of the Mackenzie river.
and are more common in the territory
under the jurisdiction of the Hudson
Bay company than in Alaska.
Small dogs, such as fox terriers, are
a rarity in Alaska, for in that country
dog is valuable in exact proportion
to the amount he can pull. A sleigh.
dog will weigh anything from thirty
to $50 pounds, the average being about
seventy-five pounds. 1t is surprising
to the initiated how big a load a dog
can pull, though must admit I have
never seen or heard of dog in Alaska
pulling 1000 pounds, under the condi-
tions described in a well-known novel;
lists book; nor have ever seen or heard
of a dog-flght as pictured so vividly in
the story in which he graphically de-
scribes a fight where two dogs are
battling for supremacy in the team, and
the remainder Of the dogs sit on their
launches and form a ring around the
contestants, who, under these condi-
tions, suppose, would fight it out un-
der Marquis Of Queensbury rules.
question whether such a fight ever
occurred in natural history. If there
are two Alaskan dogs fighting, and
forty non-interested dogs in the neigh
borhood. the fight will soon involve it.
self into one dog underneath and forty
one dogs on top. The idea Of an Alas
kan dog calmly sitting on his launches
and cody viewing the fight is too funny
for anything; the joke can only be ap-
preciated by those who have seen a
bunch of malamutes in a fight.

Tornado Insurance

The good town Of Glover, as we'll as
the surrounding country on last Sat-
urday afternoon learned from expert
ence the destructive power Of full
grown tornado. The readers Of The
Enquirer are familiar with details. It
Is to be sincerely hoped that neither
Glover nor any other section will ever
have another similar experience, but
who can tell? Tornado Insurance does
not purport to keep of tornadoes, but
Is only intended to indemnify the in
dividual who carries 1t against loss or
damage in case one does come. The
cost is very low-$1, 900 covering on a
dwelling or furniture, or both, will only
cost $500 for three years, or s1.66 a

at that price? I am prepared to write

Jack Mayne hesitated. After all the
ring was not his, and he explained this
to the other.

the shopkeeper. THE stone Is really

cried. Answer me- I insist upon 1t.

Jack Mayne was In quandary and

the old gentleman suddenly came face

Y ANSAS CITY, Kan.-There is in

whose ambition was born when she
was an unsophisticated country girl
Of 10, who did not know what failure
meant, and who came to the city and
made a fortune in open competition
with shrewd fnanciers and daring
spectators.
Annie j. Scott, a penniless orphan,
was sent to a farm in Lafayette coun-

nursemaid and "help." The success
of a neighbours child melted her to
study and save money, SO that she
might attend the Warrensburg Nor
NAL school. She MIXED cows, sold
butter and saved $50. Then she went
to Warrensburg and worked her way
in three years through the normal
school, graduating in 1894.
Her first ambition was to become a
missionary, but she became ill and
was cared for at the German Hospital
In Kansas City. There she deter
