ESKIMO HOSPITALITY
An Explorer Tells How He Was En-
tertained.

An Explorer Tells How He Was En-
tertained. @,-
In Harper's magazine. Stefansson'
the explorer, tells of the remarkable
hospitality with which he and his
party were received by one OF the
strange tribes of Eskimos whom they
encountered. sE |'zE EEs#t 2
when we had entered the house the
boiled pieces of seal-meat had already
been taken out of the pot and lay,
steaming on q sideboard. On being
assured that my tastes in food were
not likely to differ from theirs. my
hostess picked out for me the lower
Joint of a seals fore-leg, squeezed 1t
firmly between her hands to make sure
nothing should later drip from 1t, and
handed it to me, along with her own
copper-bladed knife, the next most de-
sirable piece was similarly squeezed
and handed to her husband. and 9TH
ers in turn to the rest Of the family.
When this had been done, one extra
piece was set aside in case l should
want a second helping, and the rest OF
the boiled meat was divided into four
portions, with the explanation to me
that there were four families in the
village who had no fresh seal-meat
The little adopted daughter Of the
house, a girl Of seven or eight, had as
her task to take a small wooden
platter and carry the four pieces OF
boiled meat to the four families who
iad none of their own to cook. I
thought to myself that the pieces sent
out were a good deal smaller than the
Individual portions we were eating, and
that the recipients would not get quite
a square meal; but learned later that
night from my two companions that
four similar presents had been sent
out from each of the houses where
they were eating, and know now that
every house in the village in which any
cooking was done had likewise sent four
portions, so that the aggregate must
have been a good deal more than the
recipients could eat at one time. Dur
ing our meal presents of food were
also brought us from other houses;
each housewife apparently knew ex-
actly what the others had put in their
pots, and whoever had anything to Of
fer that was a little bit different would
send some of that to the others, so that
every minute or two small girl mes
senger appeared in our door with a
platter of something to contribute to
our meal. .""

Hot Shirt and Cold Beans.-Mr.
Fussy Dresser made 1t point OF pride
that he never had less than hundred
shirts in his wardrobe, says the New
York Sun, and every one Of them with
his monogram embroidered on the
sleeve. Mrs Dresser would no more have
dared to disarrange those drawers tuli
az shirts than Bluebeards hundredth
wife would have dared to unlock the
secret door.
Mrs. Dresser was being driven up
from the station in the dogcart one al
ternoon when upon rounding turn In
the hedge she saw that her home was
afire. From a window in the second
story came a rain Of shirts. and the
figure of her husband violently propell-
ing them over the sill was almost he
role.
Mrs. Dresser lost her patience al
most as quickly as she found her
senses.
"Fusy!" she screamed, stop throw
ing those foolish shirts out Of the win
dow and come down and help the man
get out the piano and the silverware!"
when 1t was all over and the fire
quickly quenched had left only bad
smell and some charred kitchen fur
nishings a neighbor's maid came over
to Mrs. Dresser carrying dish OF colo
lima beans.
"Why, what in the world" began
Mrs. Dresser. ~ 81
.sPlease mum, you carried this dish
over and left It on top OF the mississ
new piano during the fire." said the
maid, humbly.

The Smell Of Imagination-At a
certain northern Chatauqua gathering
last summer a lecturer, at the opening
Of his address, came to the from OF the
platform and took a small vial from
his pocket. ..s.. .. ...
"My friends" he said. before I be-
gin my address, wish to test the ven-
tilation of this auditorium. I am go
ing to pour out this oil Of peppermint.
When the odor reaches you raise your
hands, so that I may see how rapidly
II travels"
He emptied the vial, and almost in
stantly several hands on the front
benches went up; then farther back
the hands began to go up by the doz-
ems, until at last the people in the last
seats caught the odor, and raised their
hands.
The lecturer thanked his auditors,
and went on with his address. When ne
had almost finished, and was speaking
of the effect of the imagination on our
senses, he paused, and said with a
smile that 1t was only clear water ne
had poured out Of his vial.
The audience had been caught so
neatly that even those who had held
up their hands joined In the laugh. But
one illiterate fellow. whose hand had
gone up more promptly and emphati-
cally than any other, did not quite un-
derstand.
what they laughin' att" he asked,
audibly, of the man sitting beside him.

not smell peppermint at all; 1t was
only imagination"

was something that smelled mighty
strong."-Youth's Companion.

Always Up-to-Date

1t is a fact that there have been
marvellous changes in the stipulations
and guaranteed privileges in the poll
cies Of all Life Insurance Policies or
Contracts during the last thirty years.
Policy holders taking out insurance
today are guaranteed privileges and
options undreamed of so recently as
ten years ago. and no company has
equaled the Mutual Benefit along
this line. It's policies today are the
most liberal that are offered by any
company, and in addition to this fact,
1t allows every new feature to every
policy it has in force. For instance,
q policy issued in 1916, and 1t has
that kind, is just as much up-to date
as one issued in 1913. If you want
the best contract that money can buy
in the best company, and one that
will always be up-to-date, you can
only be sure of getting 1t by applying

bic, "and tell you it looked pretty mas
ty for one of them. The bigger one
seized huge stick and brandished It,

tween them"
The family had listened with rapt
attention, and as the head paused in

Found 'Em.-A ruling elder of a
country parish in Scotland was well
known as a shrewd and ready -witted
man. He got many a visit from per-
sons who liked to banter, or to hear a
good joke.
Three young students gave him a
call in order to have little amuse-
ment at the elders expense. On ap-
preaching him one of them saluted
him thus: We'll, Father Abraham,
how are you today?"
You are wrong" said the second
student, this is old Father Isaac"
Tut" said the third, you are both
mistaken; this is old Father Jacob"
The elder looked at the young men,
and in his own way replied: II am
neither old Father Abraham, nor old
Father Isaac, nor old Father Jacob;
but am Saul, the son of Kish, seeking
his fathers asses, and 10! I've found
three of them.-National Monthly.

sprinting to reach the man who had
precipitated double disaster.
The Whirling machine had only
grazed a fair young lady because a
chance pedestrian hastily pulled her
back from death. The corner of
parcel she carried, however, was
struck by a projection of the auto
and dashed to the sidewalk.
The driver of the auto leaped to
the ground quickly. He ran over to
the young girl, who leaned against
a tree half fainting.

actuated him to assume penalty for
a person he had never seen before.
He had whipped the coat from the
owner of the auto and donned it in
a flash. The machine sped away, its
owner shouting out some inaudible
reassuring promise drowned by the
noise of the exhaust.
The young girl recovered from her
half dazed condition. She tottered
over to where the parcel had been
dashed to the ground. 1t clinked and
clattered. She opened it, gazed at
