NO SLEEPING.BAG FOR THEM
tapianders Preferred the Snow and
the Open Air, and So Had
Comfortable Night.

Sir Henry Lucy tells In the Corn
hill Magazine a good story that ho
had from Nansen, the explorer. 1t
amusingly illustrates the hardy health
OF the Laplanders.
Part Of Nansen's equipment for his
trip across Greenland consisted OF two
sleeping bags made OF undressed
skins. On the first night OF the jour
ney Nansen and his two Norwegian
companions got into one OF the bags,
pulled the mouth tight across their
necks, and SO slept in the snow with
only their heads out.
Before retiring to rest, Nansen saw
the three Laplanders he had engaged
for the expedition cozly tucked into
the other sleeping bag. When he
awoke in the morning. almost numb
with cold. he observed that the bag
in which he had tied up the Lapland-
ers was empty, and that they were no
where in sight. He was afraid they
had deserted him, and scrambling
out of the bag he went in search Of
them. He found the three men fast
asleep behind hillock OF snow that
they had scraped together as pro-
lection against the wind.
"Ah, master" they said, when ask

duct, I'VE couldn't sleep in that thing.

Benjamin Holbrook had never been
married. At the age when other men
take unto themselves wives, he had
been too busy smoothing the path OF
the newly established firm OF B. HoI-
brook G. Co. over the thorny ways
which infant industries must travel.
Matrimony, he had reasoned, must
walt upon success. Success he had
finally achieved, and now it waited
upon matrimony. II questioned, be
would not have been able to say
whether he had eluded matrimony or
matrimony had eluded him, but now,
at the age Of forty, he was forced to
confess to his friends that while it
was still possible in his case, it did
not seem very probable.
Being a bachelor, he had never
been able to fathom the mental
processes which led girl to abandon
a comfortable salary in his Office for
the purpose Of sharing the salary CT
a male worker in the same office, and
in much less degree had he been able
to understand the line Of reasoning
which led the aforesaid male worker
to persuade her to do so.
In employing Office help, the head
Of the firm was able to discern merit
at glance. All his male subordi-
mates had good qualities. The four
women who had reigned in brief sue
cession in the office were all well en-
dowed in this respect-so well en-
dowed, indeed, that four of the male
subordinates had discerned their merit
even better than the boss, with the
result that for the fifth time in three
years that gentleman, with all q
bachelors dislike for change In the
existing order Of things, faced the dis
agreeable prospect Of becoming &C
customed to new stenographer. II
was this fact, coupled with the knowl
edge that there were yet several un
married men in the office, all with
good qualities, that led him to Issue
