IN PIONEER DAYS

As he had worked the animal until she
was skin and bone, we thought that
was too much; but, as the editor didn't
have enough wealth with him to get
his proprty out of pawn, it appeared
that the trip might be failure. How
ever, he had copy of the 80 session
laws along, and, as the mare hadn't
been properly advertised, her owner
read the pawnbroker paragraph as
to that. This caused him to come down
SIS. Then the agriculturalist IN. B.
We once read that the difference be-
tween an agriculturalist and farmer
was that the former made his money
in town and spent it on farm and the
other made it on farm and spent it
in town. looked wise and made a
speech on legal points that would have
made Armstrong, Lynn or Uncle John
Parker smile. At the conclusion of
the eloquent outburst the farmer re-
marked "Nicht rsteh-dontkeeradam
-nicht geld, NIGHT horse" The book
was brought out again and a para
graph read from the law relating to
boiler inspection. That brought the
bill down another IS. In answer to
an inquiry the farmer said he was a
Baptist: and, when he learned that
the agriculturalist was also Baptist,
he threw off ten more. The bill now
came within the limits of the agri-
culturalist's wallet, outside of grub
money: SIS was paid, and the process
sion turned its nose toward the set
ting sun.

Eskimo Carving.

All of the Eskimo carving today is
done with steel tools, but there is
work in existence that dates back to
the stone age. The older Eskimos say
that their ancestors used tools of
flint, and 1t is known that they have
been carving ivory for many genera
tons. Some Of the very poorest of
them and those that live in the most
out-of-the-way places are noted for
their work of this kind. They seem
to do it for pastime, and make many
toys and dolls for their children. They
have q way Of s~oftening the bone,
