SUPERVISION DOES NOT
 LIKE THE MISSIONARIES

New York, October 20.-Vilhja jalmar Stefansson, who discovered the blonde Eskimos in the Coronadon gulf region, hopes to find way to keep all kinds of civilization, including religion, away from them. He fears their speedy ex- tinction if civilization gets to them, and he will go to Ottawa to ask the Canadian government to issue a proc lamation of perpetual quarantine of the whole district.
 q want to shut out the missionary as we'll as the trader" said Stcfansson, who is himself a graduate of the Har- yard Divinity school. "The blonde Eskimos don't need the trader and have a religion of their own, which answers their purposes very well. The most deadly disease that ever struck the Eskimos was the measles. Fifty per cent. of them die of this disease. The missionaries and their supply ships are as likely to carry measles as are the fur traders"

PRETTY SOON

Pretty soon the north winds will blow, bringing with them sleet and snow, and such goods; pretty soon the winter gale will go whooping through the vale and we'll hear it moan and vail in the woods. Pretty soon the spring will come, singing gaily humpty-tum, lumty-loo; spring with all her wealth of charms, sheafs of flowers in her arms, spreading o'er the towns and farms skies of blue. Pretty soon the summer days will come sizzling down the ways, till man fries; and he'll sally forth once more, as he's sallied oft before, to demand the scalps and gore of the flies. Pretty soon the flying years will have led us, by tho ears, to the end of the long and hilly road, where we's borne our little load, then we'll reap what we've sowed, o my friend. Pretty soon this little life, with it's foolish
 ness and strife will be done; have you made fair renown? Do you figure on a crown at the final going down of the sun? Pretty soon we'll be asleep and the willow boughs will weep overhead; let us there- fore put up grass while the days of sunshine pass, for we can't do much, alas. when we're dead. Walt Mason.
