One of the incidents of the early
days in Great Bend that caused a
great deal of merriment among the
white residents was the time the In.
dams bought all the parasols and UNI
brellas that were for sale in the town.
This happened along 10 the '70s and
was on rainy day The Injuns were
on their way south and came through
the town of Great Bend. They saw
a number of men and women on the
streets with umbrellas and, being
plentifully supplied with money and
a desire to own one of the handy con-
trivances, they got busy. The funny
part of It was that they made no dis
tinctlon between toy parasols, silk
ones and the serviceable linen ones.
1t was not long until the entire visi-
BILE supply of all the stores had been
purchased Then the fun began,
Some of the toy parasols were made
of cloth that was highly colored and
as soon as the water hit them the
coloring matter began to mix with
the water and drip down upon the In.
dians' clothes. They minded this not
in the least and were seen going
southwark whooping and seemingly
in the very best of spirits.-Great
Bend Tribune.

STRANGE DOGS OF ALASKA
Most Common Breed is the Malamuts
or Native Dog--Ars Wonderful
Workers.

Dogs In Alaska are OF all breed and
size, the most common being the mala-
mute, or native dog. says writer In
the Wide World Magazine. The word
-'mRlamute' is an Indian word mean
ing Eskimo, and Is applied to both
dogs and natives. The malamute is Of
the wolf straln-in fact, the best OF
the breed are half wolf. They evince
all the characteristics Of the wolf, both
In appearance and In manners. Ow-
ing to his woIf-like fur, the mslamute
can easily stand the extreme Alaskan
cold. He Is a born fighter an invet-
crate thief, and somewhat OF a coward,
Tor he will seldom fight singly against
. lone adversary. The malahute, while
well able to withstand the cold. does
not seem to have the same order Of In
telligence as ls displayed by the out
side dog, and the best dog for Alaska
would seep 70 be mixture Of the
two strains. 49,
Another native breed III
10 the huskie, but this breed Is iarer
than common usage Of the word would
imply. The real huskies are bred in
the neighborhood OF the Mackenzie
river, and are more common in the ter
ritory under the Jurisdiction Of the
Hudson Bay company than Ia Alaska.
Small dogs, such as fox terrlers, are
a rarity in Alaska for in that country
a dog is valuable in exact proportion
to the amount he can pull A sleigh
dog will weigh anything from 80 to
150 pounds, the average being about
rs pounds 1t is surprising TO the un-
Initiated how big a load a dog can pull,
though I must admit have never seen
or heard Of a dog in Alaska pulling
1000 pounds. under the conditions de-
scribed in q welI-lmown noyelists
book; nor hnye ever seen OF heard
Of dogfght as pictured SO yiyidly
in the story in which he graphically
describes a fight where two dogs are
battling for supremacy in the team,
and the remainder Of the dogs sit on
their launches and form a ring around
the contestants, who, under these
conditions. suppose, would fight it
out under Marquis of Queenshury
rules. l question whether such a
fight ever occurred in natural history
If there are two Alaskan dogs fight
ing, and 40 non-interested dogs in the
neighborhood, the fight will soon in
volve itself into one dog underneath
and al dogs on top The idea Of an
Alaskan dog calmly sitting on his
launches and coolly viewing the fight
is too funny for anything; the joke
can only be appreciated by those who
have seen bunch OF palamutes in a
fight.

Maine Woods Tragedy.

Because some small boys drank
Whit Toothakers and Han Winnings
sap, replacing the contents of the sap
buckets with water, Messrs. Toothaker
and Vining both express the opinion
that this has been mighty unsatis-
factory syrup season. With visions Of
gallons Of golden syrup the men
tapped their naples and waited pa
tiently for run of sap. It came as
they supposed, and when they gath
cred the well-filled buckets their eyes
glistened In anticipation Of the treat
in store. Then came the boiling pro-
cess. High rose the flames about the
pans and kettles, but still higher rose
the indignation OF Messrs. Toothaker
and Vining because the sap" refused
TO turn into syrup The liquid in the
pans gave forth a vast amount of
steam. but that was all there was
doing. Finally both men gave up in
disgust what seemed to be hopeless
task. The next day WhitN said to
Han. did you get any syrup out of
the sap you boiled down yesterday Z"
mo-" replied Han. this has been a
mighty poor sap sear. Maine Woods.

NEW WORKERS CREDUL0Us
Show Amazing Ignorance Of Country
Outside Of Tight Little Man
haitian Isle.

This true story was told by west
ern merchant at one Of the recent
dinners given by commercial or
ganizatf6n here. says the New York
correspondent of the Cincinnati
Times Star. The merchant pro-
tested against the puerile ignorance
of all the rest of the country which
is displayed by the average New
York man.

gest houses in town the old story, Z
said he, "of the youngster who re-
turned to New York after an absence.

"And where were your" asked his
friend.
I'm Syracuse, said he. And do
you know, that merchant smiled a
kind of doubtful, polite smile-the
sort of a smile which is a tribute to
ones business rating, and not to
ones humor. He didn't see the point
at all. But / thought that he was an
exception until / walked down town
with a friend of mine, who is at the
head Of a big commercial organiza-
tion in the southwest. He specializes
in Navajo blankets, and usually gets
$35 to $50 for extra good ones from
the jobbers here in the east. He
called on the jobbers, to look over
tAelr stock Of blankets, and finding
that the man in charge did not know
him, he priced the STOCK.
"a good blanket, said the man in
charge, IS worth from $3.50 up

knew what he sold those same blan-
kets to the same firm for And he
asked the reason And that fog

You see, said he, collecting blan-
kets is a very dangerous business.

Interesting splre.


Since the sudden fall of the great
Campanile at Venice a few years ago
scientific experiments have been made
to afford assurance of the stability OF
other famous architectural piles in
Italy
Among these is the unique cathe-
dral Of Milan, built all of marble, with
scores of slender pinnacles, and a
lofty main spire terminating in great
marble statue of the Virgin. The ex-
periments on this spire, while demon
strating its complete stability, show
interesting effects of the wind and
solar rays. AS with other lofty tow
ers. the point of the spire describes
daily an elliptical curve, the size and
precise form of which vary with at
mospherie conditions. But the great
est displacement seldom amounts to
more than a single minute of arc, in
this case less than third of an inch.
A tempest Of uncommon violence in
1905 displaced the top of the spire
eight millimeters.-H Harper's Weekly.

CHILDREN NEED EXTRA CARE
IN hot WEATHER

Ones IL Bowels Are
Neglected.

The mother cannot do better for her
children than to train them, from in
fancy, to regularity Of the bowels.
Chronic constipation in later life can
be avoided If the child learns early
the need for a daily evacuation Of the
poisonous stomach waste.
There will, Of course, be times when
the little one will become constipated
and bilious. In hot weather, especial
~, immediate attention is necessary,
BIS much serious illness results from
inactive bowels. Salts, cathartics,
purgatives, and similar drastic irri-
tants are harsh and violent and only
bring temporary relief while disturb
ing the whole system. A gentle, pleas
ant bowel stimulent like DIR. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin is far preferable.
Syrup Pepsin contains NJ narcotic
drug, being composed Of simple laxa-
tive herbs combined with pepsin, and
acts gently, in a natural manner, on
stomach, bowels and liver. BY thor
oughly cleansing the bowels and re-
moving the foreign matter that irri-
tates and infiames the tissue, it will
quickly check the summer diarrhoea
that is so weakening in its effect.
Druggists sell DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup
Pepsin for fifty cents and one dollar
a bottle, the larger size being intended
for family use. A free trial bottle,
postpaid, can be obtained by writing
