IT LOOKS EASY.

~ N New Years day we gladly turn
Our back upon the wabbly past
And say its records ought to
burn
Next year will differ from tho
last.
We'n get q grand new spotless page
And figure what were nice to write
No drinks. no drunks. no breaks OF rage:
Sweetness we'll cultivate and light.
Economy and self control:
No more Havana smokes for us,
No more the lockwood balls to roll,
No swear words-not a single cuss.
Cut out we will the glad free lunch.
Well boost sobriety and truth.
With all the water wagon bunch
We'n ride a. in our gentle youth.
From where we stand It looks a cinch
To walk the straight and narrow way.
We will not retrograde an inch.
It's easy-yes. on New Years day.

The Eskimo legends on the other hand stand verv
close TO those kept alive among civilized people Of
corrse there are differences There must neees-
sary be dissnilarities between the uncivlized and
the civilized and IN spite OF all their high ingenuity
the Eskimo were and are savages Entertainments
they understood and believed IN, but eastles and
princes not appear in their tales because they
knew neither castles nor princes The magic ring
and the winged harp also not be told OF by their
story makers for they had neither rings nor harps
Much of the outward form is therefore strange and
barbaric
But when we look beyond the she'll the kernel and
the spirit are quickly revealed something familiar
and kindred. Is it then merely incident, Co
incidence, that the Eskimo stand apart from all the
Indian tribes of the continent and nearer to ourselves
in what may well be called their literatures 1t
seems hardly likely Much more probable that some
thing of the methods of thought and expression
prevailed among the ancient pa1aeolithic cave dwell
ers OF Europe, and that from this common source
both by long residence OF our ancestors on
the same soil and in the same surroundings the
Eskimo perhaps by direct descent or transmission.
derived their similar narratives.
Viewing the Eskimo legends from this aspect. they
become OF interest not only for what they recall Of
our own folk traditions but on account of their an
tiquity. Any or each of the specimens that follow
may have an age OF thousands OF years-inay be
older, in fact than many of the prehistoric bones
and stone tools .that geoogists and archaeoogists
have dug from their resting places Of long past
time
THE GIANT
Many tales, told for amusement, but at least half
believed IN by the Eskimo are narrated about Inuk-
pan an enormous giant, who is said to have been so
large that whole family of people could stand on
one Of his toes For instance once he lost the rerest
tip end Of his boot lace Some time later an Eskimo
hunter came along and discovered the piece of
leather, which he dragged home, joyful at his find

-HAT strange dwarflke people of the frozen
north, the Eskimo, have been thought BY some
J to be the last descendants of the cavemen who
.roamed in western Europe toward the end Of
the ice age, and who as the glacial sheet retreaed
century after century, farther from the eq,ator
followed II gradually until their present Locations IN
Greenland and Alaska nearer the pole than any other
nation, was reached. How the ancestors of the Es-
kimo If this view is correct traversed the Atlantic
ocean from the European side to the American con-
tnent-whether drifting ice foes or by now
submerged land bridge from Scotland or Norway via
Iceland to Greenland-remans a mystery But there
IS much known concerning both peoples the ancient
and the existing that bears the theory SO strongly
as to have led eminent scholars to accept it.
Both nations though 10000 years separate the past
from the present, lived in an arctic climate at the
edge of continental ice sheets Both hunted the rein
deer or its kin, the caribou Both carved tools
and ornaments from ivory and bone with the greatest
ingenuity. The modern Eskimo harpoon is paral-
leed by the prehistoric implement of the same type
of which barbed heads have been preserved
IN the caves of France But above ALL remarkab bic
art development links the two people together The
famous etchings of mammoth reindeer and horse
from the Magdalean deposits and layers of western
-rrope find their closest parallel among all living
savage tribes in the carvings and engravings which,
the untutored Eskimo makes with such surprising
skill The smilarities ares indeed striking, and to
many convincing.
One other link can be added: The traditions and
legends. The tales told by the Eskimo particularly
those of Greenland resemble in their incidents their
character and their tenor the folk tales of European
peoples far more closely than do the numerous
legends of any of the tribes of American Indians In
the Indian traditions there IS always something
bizarre, something that appeals as grotesque One
feels Immediately that the people who invented or
repeated these stories must have had ways OF think
ing very different from our own.

YALE SEVEN WINS ON ICE
Shows Weak offence, but Beats
Springfield Training School.
IRv Telegranh TO The Tribune.


New Haven Jan. 31.-Yale defeated the
Springfield Training School at hockey here
to-day by a score of to l. The Blue out
played the visitors, keeping the puck IN
springhelds territory most Of the time
Only one goal was scored in the second
half by Yale. In this period the visitors
put up a stubborn defence.
The work Of Carhart and Briggs at goal
for Yale and Springfield, respectively. was
especially good. The Springfield man made
several very clever stops in the second
half, and II was wholly due to his efforts
that the Yale score was kept down.
Both teams were weak IN offensive play
The Yale forwards relied too much oniIdi-
vidual efforts TO be effective, but the de-
fence Of Gore, Howe and Carhart was very
strong. For Springfield, Bowers stood cut
above his teammates, scoring their only
goal and tying the score nine minutes after
the opening Of play. He proved speedy
skater and clever dodger.
All Of the goals were scored from scrln-
mage. Toward the end Of the game the
play became unnecessarily rough, and PEN
alties were frequent The all around play
ing of Chauncey for Yale, and the shoot
ing of Cox were particularly good.
