Ruby, Leonard Seppala, winner of the annual dog racing classic of that section, the Ruby Derby, returned to town last night after being on the trail for eight days since leaving the inland city. Seppala not only won the race n easy fashion but also knocked eight minutes and thirty one sec onds from the existing record over the fifty eight mile course from Ruby to Long City and re- turn.
 According to the Ruby Record, d copy of winch Mir. SeppaIa brought back, the carrier recoru was 5 :34 :4o, maoe by Joe Jean in April, 1913. Seppala's time was 5:25:l8. he paper states that oeppala had the race all his own way from start to finish and brought his team home fresh and ~llling. Seppala says that the
 acing conditions are very dis similar to those obtaining Tn this lection and the course was diff -uIt owing to being wagon roaa, .ough and much plowed up by .,assing teams ana Tn every way 4ifferent from the hard smooth -.ails of the coast. here are 4lso three long hills on the course with climbs of something like i've or six miles. There were five entries in the race, two of whom were natives. The teams aver
 ged eight dogs, the smallest be- ng composed of. seven dogs, the argest ten, Seppala himself drove eleven. By some singular cir cumstance. Seppala was the only white man in the money, both second and thirty places being taken by the native entries. The Lamont team, which was spoken of so highly in the letter received here from the Ruby Kennel Club his winter, was not in the run hing at all. Seppala says that the cam is good one, however, but he does not think it would have
 much chance with the swift ones Town here. The trip of the fa- nous Nome musher was excellent all the way to Ruby and return, not a storm along entire course Until yesterday when he run into light blow about four miles wide. Seppala speaks in glowing :erms of his reception at Ruby and say that it is fine, lively town and is full of clean sports men. Dog racing, he says, is in great favor and there was all kinds ,f money flying around while ihe contest was on. On his arrival the Kennel Club and a majority of the citizens turned put to elve. him welcome and he was a'eo greeted with great en- thusiasm all along the route.

KEEPER RESCUED BY BEAR
Animal Attacked Mate When the lat
ter Tried to Pounce on Man
Who Was Helpless.

Tim, a big polar bear in the Gen.
trail park menagerie at New York,
saved the life of Tim Coyle, a keep
"er for whom he was named. Coyle
had drained the tank in the outdoor
cage occupied by Tim and Molly,
his mate, to repair a drain pipe. He
was in the bottom of the tank when
Molly sprang down from the rocks
and leaped into the tank to attack
lCOyle.
Since his cubhood days Tim had
been the particular pet of Coyle. He
watched Molly, and when he saw his
mate about to attack the keeper he
sprang from a crag, landed in the
tank and fastened his teeth in Mol
ly's throat. The bears fought in the
tank, giving COyle time to escape
from the cage.
Bill Snyder and his assistant
keepers had to pry the beans apart
with sharp-pointed irons. Molly's
throat was cut and both had wounds
from teeth, but Tim had saved Tin
DCoyle.

The following gains we're made per
head: 7.6, 2.9, a., as, and -0.2

HUNTING FOR COPPER.

German agents are conducting a
diligent and systematic hunt for cop
per throughout Switzerland They
are penetrating the mountains to the
remotest valleys, and persuading the
peasants to part with this precious
metal. Taking advantage Of the
ignorance of these country people,
they tell housewives that their cop
per utensils are burned out, and offer
to give them new pots and kettles
in exchange, which, of course, prove
to be of greatly inferior metal. The
business is enormously profitable,
since the agents pay only four to
eight cents a pound for copper which
they sell to Germany for ten time'

HOLIDAYS NOT ALWAYS JOY
Toledo Blade Cites Experiences o

Much in Point.

How shall you measure the value
Of a vacation? asks the Toledo Blade.
In Sunbury, Pa, there dwells a
citizen who, after ten years of con-
tinuous work, decided to take day
off and go to the Bloomsbury fair, a
few miles away He arose before
daylight and, cropping for a match,
fell downstairs. After nursing his
bruises a few seconds, he started for
the cellar. On the way down he cut
his head on bucket which hung on
nail, and, coming up again, he
stepped on a piece of coal which
threw him down and caused the
spraining of wrist. But, undaunt-
ed, he hurried to his train. AT Che
car steps he fell and wrenched his
right side. Landed in Bloomsbury,
a jitney bus knocked him down.
Still he continued on his way. At
the gates of the fairgrounds he was
thrown against post and acquired
additional decorations. Inside the
grounds a girl ran a ''tickler stick
in his eye and he started for home
almost blinded.
There are holidays and holidays
There are some that bring the sweet
est joys and some that make a new
