ing him up somewhat the Chicago
doctors told him in the cheerful, con-
soling way common to members OF
the profession that he would be lame
for the remainder of his days and
that never again must he venture out
of doors when the mercury has drop
ped below the zero mark.
But the doctors solemn ultimatum
didn't scare Tommy King. Perhaps
he figured that he might as well die
from cold in the land of snow which
he has learned to love as to die from
homesickness in more temperate
climate. Anyway. he has gone back
to Alaska. He knows enough to give
up the work of dog-driving but he
counts on deriving considerable plea
sure from watching the sleds come
and go and from hearing the tales
of the drivers who have been trying
to equal the records which he made
before he foolishly tried to do work
that should have been left entirely
to an inside man"

Pinc.Line of Concrete.

In order to increase its water sup
ply the city of Victoria, British Co
lumbia. recently connected its reser-
voir with a lake q miles away BY
means OF a pipeline made wholly of
concrete. Sections four feet long and
AZ inches in diameter were first cast
virtically and then placed in the de-
sired position on the ground. Ex-
IRENE care was exercised in mixing
the concrete and in the tamping,
which was all done by hand, in or
der to lessen the chances of the ma
terial cracking or splitting. No joints
to Offset its tendency for longitudal
expansion were provided even though
il was we'll known that thousand
feet of concrete will expand about an
inch for every Is degrees that the
temperature rises The freedom oil
the material to expand in two Other
directions was relied upon to obviatC
any danger along this line.

would deny themselves for time OF

Too Late. Finds Key to Fortune.

Frank Frowser when . young man
worked on his fathers farm in the
vicinity OF Erie. Pa. All his life he
had hated farm work and frequently
had rebelled, both secretly and open
ly. His Puritanie parents looked up
on his dislike for the quiet simplicity
OF rural life and his longing for ad-
venture and travel as evidences OF
an evil perversion and as an indica-
ton that he was in serious danger
of becoming an spend-thrift and a
good
One day the elder Frowser gave
him a coin. intending il as a test OF
his frugality and ability to save. He
cautioned the boy TO save IL until he
was 81 years old. Frank meant 20
make good with the coin and demon
strate TO his parents that he could
hang onto money well enough. Luck
evidently was against him. however:
in less than a year he had lost II and
though he searched carefully and
diligently he was unable TO recover
10.
Nothing was said about the loss
until his father. on his deathbed. de-
handed the coin on penalty of ex-
GLIDING Frank from sharing in the
estate. or course he could not pro-
duce the bit OF silver and so the fath-
er ordered him OF the premises and
a new will was prepared In which the
young man was entirely cut on from
any part in the estate.
Frowser then became wanderer
and finally a soldier. After serving
out his enlistment and receiving a
discharge he joined the British colors
and fought against the Beers in
Africa and also saw service in India.
Later he returned with wife. the
daughter OF an English army officer,
and settled at Pensacola. Fla.
Not long ago. while touring in the
north and visiting some of the fami-
liar haunts OF his boyhood. he bought
some gasoline for his automobile and
among the change which was return
ed TO him was a very old half dollar.
From a peculiar shaped *" cut in
TO the face of the coin. he identified
il as the very one which he had lost
and which. il he could have produc-
ed il in time. would have been the
en- sesame TO a fortune.
He proposes to give the fateful bit
of metal to his son who is now three
years old. He says he will instruct
the youngster to hold onto II until
he reaches his majority but that he
will attach no conditions to the boys
of it and will exact no
penalty in case II is lost.

Tommy King, Alaska Dog-Driver.

At the time of the discovery of
gold in the Klondike, Tommy King
went north. He became a driver of
dog teams and in time made himself
a record of $4,000 miles on the great
expanse of snow that covers the land
during large part of the year. At
first thought that dosent seem like
much of record but when one con-
siders that most of the distance was
made when the mercury stood far
down on the minus side of the Their
mometer scale and amid perils I'M
known in lower ATTITUDES. he must
admit that $4,000 miles is a long,
leng way.
King went over about all of the
territory of Alaska and knew its hills
and valleys and trails as one knows
the landmarks and the paths and by
ways of the locality in which he spent
his youth.
In the winter of 1901 the frost
king set his fingers on the Alaska
country with a tighter grip than was
ever known before or since. In spite
of the intense cold, however. Tommy
King, with his dog team, made six
round trips between Fairbanks and
Iditarod, boosting his record some
5000 miles.
There was nothing in the camp at
Iditarod that winter but reindeer and
caribou meat. As Christmas was APP
preaching, Tommy King, with a good
eve TO business, realized that the man
who got there in time with a stock
at all suited to the needs OF the IN
habitants could be sure of small
fortune. Accordingly he bought sew
eraI hundred pounds of chickens, a
quantity of beef and pork and started
out with this and lot OF newspapers
and magazines for the winter-bound
camp. When he left the Tanana, the
river on whose shore Fairbanks is
located, the temperature was 40 de-
grees below zero and was steadily
falling lower.
At length he reached what is re-
garded as the coolest spot on the
Yukon. There the cold was so in
tense and the wind bit at him sc
savagely that he came near freezing

"The distance didn't seem to grow
smaller and the cold bit deeper every

them off their feet"
Finally, after long, desperate

one day. The prison officials could
not understand how they could es-
cape for it was impossible. they be-
lieved. for anyone to get out without
being seen by the guards and a care
full search through the prison failed
TO disclose any hiding place inside IL.
Bloodhounds were procured but moth
ing would induce them to leave the
wall of the prison. Instead OF help
ing TO recapture the men. this queer
behavior of the dogs only served to
deepen the mystery of the case.
About a week later workmen en-
gagged on the construction OF a new
wall discovered under temporary
board floor of one of the guard tow
ers a hole sufficiently large to afford
hiding place for two men. Then
everything was cleared up. the es-
cape OF the men. apparently under
the eyes OF the guards. and the queer
behavior OF the blood-hounds.
II didn't take much sleuthing to
understand that the prisoners had
dug the hole in the earth. stocked 1t
with provisions and water and then
carefully replaced the boards OF the
floor. When favorable opportuni-
ty presented itself they retired to
their cache, put the boards in place
and lay there during the next day,
or until the search for them had been
given up. Then they made their get

The Government Is Declared 20 Be
Incompetent - Submarine War
Growing More Dangerous.

The Government Is Declared 90 Be
Incompetent Submarine War
Growing More Dangerous.
London Dispatch.
Strong denunciation of the govern
ment and its naval policy were made
here today in addresses delivered at
meeting 10 support a stronger cam
paign against German submarines.
The meeting. which was attended BY
the shipping and mercantile COM
munity of London. adopted resolu-
tions calling for a more effective
blockade and for more efficient meas
ures 10 deal with the submarine
question.
Admiral Baron Beresford and
Thomas Bowles were the principal
speakers. and each declared that the
country faced a serious situation.
Baron Beresford said the nation was
lin a position OF unparalleled
gravity" and that the crisis Of the
war is now"
Mr.. Bowles asserted that unless
the submarine menace Is dealt with.
We shall be blockaded as well as Ger
many and privation and famine
prices will ensue." He added that
liz any overture for an honorable
peace should come with sufficient
guarantees. il would be the duty Of
the government TO examine them.
but he said that he could "see no
glimmer OF an overture for peace"
Il have arrived at the conclusion. I"
the speaker continued. that this gov
eminent is no more able to make
peace than il is TO make war" Mr..
Bowles demanded the dissolution of
the government and his speech was
punctuated with shouts of turn them
out" and similar phrases. Baron
Beresford thought that since the Ger
man submarines had transferred
their activities from shallow water.
ito the blue sea-" the menace re-
quires new strategy and new tactics
TO deal with it," He added that so
far no definite systematic methods
have been taken for suppressing the
menace and advocated continual
aerial attacks on the German base
at Zeebrugge and the arming of mer-
anu
1T is a most unsatisfactory state
of affairs. Thousands of tons Of
food which were waiting to come to
England have been diverted TO Ger

Lord Roberts Opinion.
The war must be fought TO a mill
tary conclusion on the west and east
fronts. with the blockade playing on
ly secondary part" said Lord Rob
ert Cecil. Minister of War Trade. in
discussing today with the Associated
Press the latest developments in the
world conflict.
The condition of Rumania," said
Lord Robert, causes us grave regret.
But. there is no reason to suppose
the operations there will affect the
result of the war. which must be
fought out on the main fronts. The
conditions under which We will ac-
cept peace overtures remain the same
as outlined several months ago."
Asked concerning the origin of the
allegation in the Morning Post edi-
torial that Germany had offered the
entente powers generous peace terms
in return for a free hand in Central
and South America. Lord Robert
Cecil said;
"Of course, il is well known that
Germany had very definite ambitions
in Central and South America even
before the war but | am unaware of
any peace having been offered us on
the terms mentioned by the Morning
Post. We have no knowledge that
such overtures ever had been made
here"
