Doctor Kane, in his very inter-

drifted on an ice foe and finally
reached the mainland.
Doctor Kane found Macgregor ID

posed to start a Utopian colony anu

~ r o F. E s SOR STEFA NSSON
reports the discovery of a
tribe of Esquimos in MacKen-
zies Land who have red hair
These people have no history that
they can recount.
There are about two thousand of
them. They have a degree of intel
ligence which the regular Esquimos
do not possess, They have red hair,
blue eyes and a tendency to argue
about religion. Some of them are
artistically freckled
Many of their names begin with
Mac, and they have a way of adj
dressing each other with something
that sounds like "Hoot Mont"
Oats grow farther north than
wheat. Whether these Esquimos are
fed on oats or not Professor Ste
fansson does not say.
But the world will not rest easy
on Professor Stefansson's report
until we find whether haggis and
oatmeal have played their parts in
the hirsute color scheme of this
tribe of Esquimos. who not only
have red hair. but are red headed.
Evidently Professor Stefansson
has never heard of Macpherson
Macgregor. who was lost off the
New Bedford whaling ship, Mary
Ann, in Baftins bay.

WHEN we find that the price
wv of roast turkey has risen in
the best hotels until for a
half portion you pay seventy cents,
it seems certain that few people can
have turkey away from home.
Did you ever see such a half por-
ton?
A lot Of dressing, three or four
little pieces of dark meat. each
about the size of walnut, and two
slices of white meat, cut amazingly
thin. And all for seventy cents.
The poor can not afford to eat
turkey at this price.
And yet it makes us wonder
whether the rich have grabbed it
all, or whether a great multiplicity
Of causes are at work to put up
prices.
In few years the population has
increased twenty millions.
Maybe fewer turkeys are raised
than formerly.
Perhaps it costs more to raise
them, now that the young men are
leaving the farms and coming to the
cities.
And yet some politicians tell you,
glibly and without blushing, that if
you vote right they will fix the tar
if and prices will be down again.
Who pays the tariff on hotel
turkey?
You.
Can a politician alter that?
Not unless he calls personally on
the hotel man and points out the
injustice to the purchaser of tur-
key at seventy cents per half por-
ton.
And, speaking Of restaurant food,
have before me the prices charged
In 1904, eight years ago. Compare
these with the prices charged in
the same restaurant in 1912.

OF course, it is cheerful to note
that the price of cucumbers has
gone down. but it is impossible TO
economic through them very much
because there is a limit to cucum-
bers as a steady diet
Now, these restaurant prices
merely reflect the prices in the
market. Many a family has had,
gradually, to stop buying the bet
ter cuts of meat because wages
are insufficient.
Even the secondary cuts have
gone up in price until they are as

But back of all these high price,
there is a solemn fact.
We are a wasteful nation.
Every man is as good as anv

grape fruit for breakfast.
And there is another solemn fact
Very few of Us have even an eIe.

While the waiter was in the kitchen

of fare and discovered that he had
signed away 70 cents vithou,

1t made him mad. When Hs
waiter came back with the white
meat and the dressing. the man be-
gan to argue with him about the
ridiculous price. But, Of course.
the waiter could not deliver tEt
goods for less than the c. 0. D.
price.
Then the man called the hotel
steward and argued with him. He.
too, was powerless to reduce the
cost of living, on that occasion, be-
cause he had received his orders
from upstairs"
The upstairs man had not yer

And he. the turkey raiser, would

Which is. of course. unfair to the
president
Meanwhile, the half portion on

LIVING IN A WORLD OF IDEAS

T n what kind of a world do you
L live? BY what ideas is it peo-
pied?
We say of this person, How
charming she is" and of that.
What disagreeable man" We
mean, In what a hopeful. happy
world Of ideas she lives" or by
what morose, selfish thoughts is he
companioned."
Surrounding this earth is atmos-
phere, about five miles in extent
In that atmosphere we can live and
breathe and work perform the hui
man functions of loving and mat
ing, of hoping and developing and
worshiping. But should an amhi-
tious aeronaut pass beyond the at
mospheric limit he would reach a
stratum of rarehed air. in which he
would soon die. This atmosphere is
the worlds envelope, unacceptable.
Indispensable. Every person has his
atmosphere, indispensable and in
escapable. 1t is the world of ideas
in which he has his existence.
Radiating Cheerfulness.
one person attracts US, another
repels. Unless we have the habit
of analysis We are puzzled by the
fact that two persons Of apparently
equal gifts and amiabiity should
so differently affect us. We know
that we would like to know one of
them much better and we would be
glad if we never had to see the
other Yet there is no real mys-
terry about it. The thought world
in which one lives pleases us. The
thought atmosphere of the other
displeases.
Magnetism and personality are
terms for which philosophers have
gone seeking TO profound depths
and at dizzy heights, yet whatever
the terms they have given to their
more OF less valuable discoveries
they bring us back to the starting

View Rosy Side of Life.

What is the color of the world
you live in? Is it black with gloom.
or gray with passive acceptance of
things as they are, but which YOU

That color depends upon you.
What is the climate of the world
you live in? Is it damp with Gull
tivated despair? There are persons
whose atmosphere is as moist and
chill as frogs slipper or is it
full of the moving airs Of hope and
courage and good will? Persons
who live in such worlds are tones
