Writer Describes Home Surroundings
and interior Of Arctic Residence
First View Mas TO q Large
Extent oisheartenina.

New York.-My first view Of the in
terror of Uck-Gluck's arctic residence
would have been a disheartening one
to a tenderfoot To ME, after nine
hours OF freezing. nothing had ever
seemed quite so welcome and cheer
ing as the followed out stone in which
a liberal quantity of seal oil and moss
was burning, writes James Oliver Cur
wood in Leslie's. (The moss was used
as a wick. and so answered the pur.
pose of both lamp and stove.) Three
children were crowded together at the
end OF the igloo staring silently. Uck'
Gluck's kooner. or woman, stood with
an infant in her arms, grinning broad
ly and cheerfully at us. The room
was about eighteen feet in diameter.
and was a veritable shambles. Uck-
Gluck possessed a reputation as being
a great hunter, and he had been espe-
cially successful of late. Masses OF
flesh lay strewn all about the floor,
There seemed apparently TO be no ef-
fort or desire to keep 1t in one or two
piles. 1t lay everywhere. There was
the whole carcass OF walrus, cut up
and strewn about, and almost directly
at the head OF the raised platform" of
ice which formed a bed for the whole
family there was a great pile OF en-
trails, preserved for dog meat. The
walls of the igloo were spattered with
blood, and weapons of the chase lay
everywhere. These included spears
and harpoons, long knives and rife
that fired powder and ball. A large
quantity of meat, killed earlier in the
season, had arrived at the age and
stage where 1t possessed a very bad
odor This was not for the dogs. Uck
Gluok and his family would have fed
them the fresh meat before they would
have sacrificed this particular pile
which was just reaching that mellow
and ripe condition which strongly ap
pealed to their palate.
/ Bernard and Outta came into the
igloo a few moments later, and so de
lighted were Uck-Gluck and his wife
to learn that both OF the kablunaks. OF
white men. were to eat and sleep un

When you start out to Inquire
Whether Brown called you a liar,
You may in your indignation
Think you're doing something bravely
To preserve your reputation.
But give heed a moment gravely

Your defender to perdition
You are not a hero. friend
You are merely hunting trouble.
When you start out. gentle lady.
To discover paughty. shady
Things your husband has been doing,
Or of which he is suspected.
You may think you are pursuing
Sins that ought to be detected.
But the truth you seek may hurt you
And in setting forth to get
Sweet revenge for outraged virtue
You may find to your regret
That you've merely hunted trouble.
Those who search for sorrow ind It;
Every door has hid behind 1t
Trouble in some shape or guise;
1t may be imaginary,

What a world OF useless sorrow

If by prayer or through petition
'Twere arranged so that Suspicion
Should have neither ears nor eyes.

To Bed with Drum and Shot.

From the following story it would
seem that the cadets at West Point
are not the only persons who some
times find taps and the sunrise gun
annoying.
The. wife of one of the officers there
had colored maid who was giving
satisfaction and was apparently well
pleased with her position. Mrs
Brown. was therefore amazed when
Sallie came to her and told her she
could not work there any longer.
will you tell me why you are leav
ing, Sallie?" her mistress asked.
Mis- Lizzie" she answered, "Ah

All likes de chillen. But All can't
stay nowhar whar All has to be
drummed to bed at night and shot out

WoRKMEN OBSERVE THE RULE
regulations Of Foremen, However, DO
Not Prevent Them Getting Their
Accustomed Beverage.

In the lower section of Manhattan a
new office building is in the course of
erection. Hundreds Of men, ironwork-
ers, carpenters, plasterers, etc, are
employed. The majority of these
workmen drink beer. Recently the
foremen of the different gangs com
bined and agreed to issue the follow
ing order:
Beer will be allowed only once a
day, and that is at noon time. and one
man is to go for it"
Now, persons who happen to be in
the vicinity of the building around
11;45 o'clock see a very curious sight.
1t is this: A man energies from the
nearly finished building with about
four beer cans on one arm and large
butter tub embraced in the other. He
starts in the direction of Church
street. In about fifteen minutes he can
be seen on his return trip with the
four cans overlooking on one arm and
the butter tub still firmly embraced
and filled to the top.

 IN THE NORTH
(Continued from y5s,erdayD

CCoutinued from yes,erday)
 The Alaska editor as rule is not the proverbial poor man, and bis subscriptions are never paid with potatoes, pumpkins end other garden truck, as is sometimes thc experience of the country editor in the states" On the contrary in the early days, I have often seen subscriptions paid in gold dust, and the Alaska editor has q chance to "be in on the ground f.cOr" in every new strike, and secure good holdings along with the best of the experienced "sourdough miners, be- cause they trust him, and are not averse to letting him in on good thing when new pay dirt is struck.
 There is something about the spirit Of the North that inspires the artist, the poet, and the writer of fiction. It is this inspiration back of those wonderful glacial paintings by Theodore Richardson, and the Alaska mountain views of Rather inc Delaney Abrams.
 It was this spirit that prompted Sam c. Durham to write his "Gold Smith of Nome" and "TRe Men Who Blaze the Trail, and one of his poem, Alaska to Uncle Sam," is a Yeritable heart-cry for justice at the hands of a formerly neglcctful gov ernment. This spirit breathes in in every page Of the writings of Robert Service, the "Kipiing of the North" whose Songs Of a Sour Dough- Ballads of a ChechakO' and Spell of the Yukon" are known and quoted in every mining camp. Russell Bates crude little vOlume
 "The Man on the Dump" appeals directly to those who dig for gold, and is one of the recent pubIica- tions. It was this spirit that mspir- cd Jack London to write his "Cau Of the Wild" the mos wonderful dog story ever written, "White Fang" and many others, and also Rex Beach in the Spoilers, " "The Barrier" and "The Silver Horde" Tn Kinda Shon's Wife" by Mrs. E. S. Willard, there is a mysticism, "a blending of the legendary with the real, that holds the reader spell bound throughout the little vol ume. I too have felt this inspiration, and the longing to return to the quiet and the peace, the "Great White Silence" of our Arctic Win ter. On one occasion when I was down in "the states" and naviga- tiOn was closed, and I knew that I could not leave for the North until ] the following summer, 4 experience cd a Veritable attack of homcsick-
