suing years. II was the intention
Of the association to have held n
meeting and enjoyed banquet in
Pennington on January Sth, but on
account Of the severely cold wealth
er tho meeting and banquet were
postponed to take place last Monday
and Monday night. The members
were again disappointed, for there
were only seven or eight Of the local
members on hand Several had
started on the way, hut were delayed
by their machines not working prop
erly or other causes, so the banquet
was necessarily postponed again. A
business meeting was held, and

president; Dr. B. II. Downing OF
Pennington, vice president; DR.. Il.

worked out the plan that insures its
success. Fifty enterprising business

sold before the Chautauqua opens,
and some society or societies will be
called in and asked to sell these tick
cts and in return they win receive q

amounts, or fiat commission on the
tickets sold.
The exact location has not yet
been decided upon. there being sew

Shootinu the Seal.

Seals are caught in a variety of ways,
but they are very shy creatures and the
greatest caution must be exercised in
approaching them. Even when they
have been struck by harpoon or rifle
bullet the blow must be fatal and death
instantaneous, or the animal will drop
into its hole In the ice and be seen no
more. Indeed, the fact that a seal sci.
dom moves far from its hole adds con-
siderably to the hunters difficulties.
The plan usually adopted by Eskimo
hunters is to build up a kind Of tent
sledge. The sides and front are mask
ed with bearskin, the top with the pelt
of a hare. The native hides within this
novel tent and inch by inch propels
himself W the ice till he Is near his
quarry. The rife with which he Stays
his seal is brought into use through a
loophole in the sledge covering.
