When Clifford Pinchot and Miles
Poindexter were up in Alaska last
summer, they had guide who was a
hearty eater. He ate all the time
he was cooking, continued to eat
while Pinchot and Poindexter were
at their meal, and would still be eat
ing long after the others had ceased
picking their teeth.
The guide was particularly fond OF
grouse, which are moderately plentiful
in some parts Of Alaska. Pinchot and
Poindexter would eat grouse apiece.
but the guide would consume four or
five, with apparent relish. Senator
Poindexter felt that the thing to do
was to shoot more grouse and give
the guide his I'LL. They didn't get
a shot at any grouse right away, but
Poindexter kept In practice by bring
ing down couple of sea gulls. A
sea gull is about as delicate a morsel
as q turkey buzzard. or haspy.
Later In the day Pinchot saw some
feathers scattered about the camp.
What happened to those gulls?" he
inquired.

SnulrrAiss Team Work.

The members OF an outing expedi
ton In New England while tenting in
a grove near a glen witnessed an in
cident that seemed to show a friendly
understanding among squirrels.
The members had just finished
their dinner, but were still lat table
when a squirrel with glistening, eager
eyes came creeping down tree thai
stood near. He crep nearer and near
er, and finally leaped upon the i'm
provised table.
Seeing that the woman who was
presiding at table extended him &
silent invitation to help himself tC
what he might like, the little fellow
made bold to creep up to loaf Of
bread from which only a slice or two
had been cut. He seized II and drag
ged II to the side of the table anc
somehow managed to scramble down
the side with 1t to the ground. He
then fixed his teeth in the crust anC
dragged 1t away and down the steer
sides of the glen.
But when he reached the bottom
and confronted the steep rise on the
other side 1t was too much for him
Then he gave a sort of call, which
seemed to be understood, for soor
squirrels were seen coming from sew
eral directions. They crowded around
him, and after little conference al
took hold. and with tug and strain
they managed to bring the loaf tc
the top of the hill and disappeared
with 1t In the woods beyond.

Itself, Is a remarkable piece of work
and seldom is one found so close to
a town. No one ever visits this place
without wondering how 1t is that
these animals have succeeded In ac-
complishing that which no human
being has ever yet done. How they
can take a stick of sound wood, sink
1t to the bottom of stream or pond,
and make 1t stay there with no appar-
ent anchorage, Is one of the strange
things which man has never been able
to fathom. Many explanations of this
have been advanced but none of them
can be said to be the correct one.

TAKE YOUR WlFE'S ADVICE
Where Man Merely creeps by Logic,
Woman Leaps by intuition at
Single Bound.

Some one has said:
when a man has toiled step by
step up a flight of stairs he Will be
sure to find q woman at the top, but
she may not be able to tell how she
got there"
A man comes up to a conclusion by
the slow steps of delicate logic. In
stlnctively the woman reaches 1t by
single bound.
Therefore. should you contemplate
some important step without having
consulted your wife-don't!
Her intuitive insight may be worth
more than your deliberate reasoning.
Especially is the normal average wo-
man quick to see the right or wrong
involved In proposition. She jumps
over subtle distinctions and evasiye
phrasing and lands on the firm foot
ing OF eternal righteousness.
Ethically every woman is a seer
And especially clear are the eyes OF
a wife in any matter involving the
welfare or the good name OF her fam.
lily.
Make your wife close confidant In
all things, and the sequel will prove
her wisdom.
There was Victoria Colonna.
She is a strong character In the his
tory of her times Her husband was
q friend OF the great Charles " At
one time her husband was offered the
crown of Naples II he would join the
league against Charles. The man was
strongly tempted. He referred the
matter to his wife She babe him
spurn the proposal.
Not every wife would thus refuse to
be queen. But
Most wives would!
Because the alliance contemplated
the base betrayal OF a friend, and the
heart of true woman instinctively Is
turned against such baseness.
Seek your wife's advice. She is your
best friend, your most competent and
wisest counselor.
The writer speaks from long exper.
fence Almost Invariably he has made
a mistake when he failed to confer
with his wife or has proceeded con-
trary to her advice.
A wife will help to clear away diff.
culties and suggest ways and means
that might not occur to the husband.
