Alaskan Dogs Are Cosmopolitan.
From the Wide World Magazine.

Dogs in Alaska are OF all breeds ana
sizes, the most common being the mala-
mute, or native dog. The word 'mala-
mute is an Indian word. meaning Es-
kimo. and IL 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 charac-
teristics OF the wolf. both in appearance
and in manners Owing to hts wolfiike
fur. the malamute can easily stand the
extreme Alaskan cold. He is born
fighter, an inveterate thief and some
what Of a coward, for he will seldom
fight singly against lone adversary. The
malamute, while we'll able to withstand
the cold, does not seem to have the same
order of intelligence as IL displayed by
the outside dog, and the best dog for
Alaska would seem to be mixture OF
the two strains.
Another native breed IN the north Is
the huskie, but this breed IL rarer than
common usage of the word would imply.
The real huskies are bred in the neigh
borhood of the Mackenzie river. and are
more common in the territory under the
jurisdiction of the Hudson Bay Company
than in Alaska.

state constabulary mounted and dis
ciplined like the Pennsylvania constab-
ulary proves Its value every time riotous
demonstrations occur In the mining dis
tricts. These men constitute a perma-
nent force. they are drawn from no par
ticular locality in the commonwealth, like
q militia company they have an esprit de
corps OF their own. and they are supreme
ly worth while because they are trained
for police and not military dutiea Or
binary militia companies are generally
out OF their element IN doing strike duty
the constabulAry are right in their ele-
ment. A state police OF this sort inspires
not only wholesome fear. but wholesome
respect. They are patient. but they are
effective when they act. Pennsylvania
will have less bloodshed during the pres

ten years ago. before the coustabulary
