From the Chicago IfiDune
How would you like to have steak
5000 or 100000 years old served up to
YOUR" asks James Oliver Curwood, who.
during q northern trip. came across some
Indians who had discovered the carcass
of a mastodon exposed by the falling OF
q frozen river clifY.
''The fesh,' says Mr.. Curwood. was
of a deep red or mahogany color. and !
dined on a steak an inch and half
thick. My first taste Of the flesh sent
me back. suppose $1,000 years or more.
The flavor OF the meat was old-not un-
pleasant-but simply old and dry. That
it has lost none OF its DEMONSTRATING ele-
ments during those hundreds OF centuries
or cold storage was shown by the fact
that the dogs throye upon It."

Around the City

A young man waited under the awning
of department store while his wife was
inside shopping. You could tell it was his
wife because he held in his arms a white
slipped baby, with a bald head ana
bare arms and legs. The baby cooed and
kicked and the young man looked down
at it and smiled and chirruped. the way
fathers have done since Adam-and the
two made a picture of purest delight.
Well, then, will you tell me why it was
that about every she-shopper who went
in or out of the store felt called on to
pity that kid?
One woman who looked as if she ought
to know better stopped to suggest to the
young man that pin might be sticking
into the little darling. it kicked SO.
1t wasn't pins. 1t was the joy of living
Another woman considered 1t her boun-
den duty to tell the young man that
when a baby chewed its fists like that II
was sign OF hunger. And you nave to
be so careful about an infants food
Now. you know right well that when
baby is hungry it is going TO let the sur
rounding country know 1t.
Other women merely felt called on 10
snicker, as il the young man were doing
something he ought not to do. and they
had caught him at 1t. and two salt-of-the-
earth critics banded comments like this:
well. it's to be hoped he won't break
that poor little things back before It's
mother can get to it. It's the easiest
thing in the world to hurt young baby
like that while its bones are nothin' but
gristle. ] knew a woman once who was
hump backed all her life because her
nurse let her fall
The nurse was doubtless a she-person,
but

anyhow?
II lay If he was my husb'n, he'd be at

no husb'n of mine loafin' round mindin'
the baby when he'd oughter be at work.
Why, if / had one of them Miss Sissy fell
lers that wanted to help out with the
dishes and things. I'd send him kiting.
Maybe he's out of work. He looks
spruce but Lor', you can't go by that.

They didn't seem to be flocking around
that young man just then-except one. of
course There is always an exception to
come in handy If only to prove the rule,
But the exception didn't say anything. She
just listened. Then she put it down and
