FUNSTON AS STRIKE BREAKER
Used Rifle as Persuader to Induce In
dian Packers to Proceed on
Journey.

In 1898 Frederick Funston set out
for Alaska on commission to collect
botanical specimens. Today the trail
over Chilkoot pass is familiar, but at
that time it was known only to Indian
guides and few daring miners who
had followed its devious ways. Funs-
ton with two companions went up the
pass and over to the Yukon, says the
Youths Companion. One incident OF
the trip he describes in. his; own pic
turesque language as follows:
The Indians carried the loads while
we dragged the empty sleds. The snow
fell incessantly for five days, apd it lay
along our route from to so feet deep.
Day after day we wallowed and strug-
gled on as we worked our way grad
ually upward to the summit of the
range. One cheerful little diversion
occurred on the second day. The low
proved chief packer who seemed to
have charge of the other Indians threw
his load into the snow and announced
that unless their pay was materially
increased he and the other packers
would get themselves back to the VIII
lage, and thus leave us In a pretty
pickle, ..s.ssssk..;ss- l-sssta tsia.sri f..

PETER PUMPKINS WISH

Peter Pumpkin grew in a corn-
field. Late i'm October he lay there
baskilag i'm the rays of the bright
sunshine. The sum had been very
good to Peter ai:d his brothers,
for he had sent his little sunbeaIms
to dress them ins their golden suits
for halloween, and for several days
Peter had gradually been TURNING.
from green to a alright yellow color.
He had but enc wish now since
he had donned his gorgeous suit
of gold; he wished that he might
nave eyes, nose, and a mouth,
like the beautiful moon. Peter
thought the moon the most won-
derful thing in the world.
Peter wished and wisehd to be
like the mocn' to help light the
world, but how could pumpkin
which grew in cornfield become
a shining light to anyone.
One aftersoojif Soon after Peter
had put ON his suit Of gold, a
little boy named John came into the
cosnlfield, trundling a wheel-barrow.
Here is a fire pumpkin for Hal
lowe EN- tonight, he said, and then
Peter felt something sharp press a
gairsss his stem. After that he
was put into the wheel barrow and
carried away.
Il wonder what is going to
happen to me- he Thought. Soon
the wheel-barrrow stopped, and he
was lifted out and carried into
the house.
See what fine pumpkin 1
have brought you, Aunt Dinah, g
sad john, ard Peter felt himself
thImped down ON the kitchen table.
What a beauty. said another voice.
Nov I'll make some pumpkin pies.
Then i will get it ready for
tonight, said John as he carefully
cut off one side.
Now ann going to be useful, g
thought Peter. but he did NOT move,
although HE felt that John was talk
Ing out much of his insides.
Pres ly he felt curious, emp
ty feeling, and them he felt JoMa
cutting little holes in hianl with
his Jackkndfe.
In few minutes he was WON
der1ul jack % lantern. He saw john
AID Aunt Dinah laughing at HIM,
and drew deep breath of hap
piness. lbs wish had come true
When it came might they put a
iightedl cakdle inside him, and
carried him to several places, to
the great joy of the boys, and, at
first. the fear of the little Tots.
How Peter enjoyed it all. He grim
ned at them goodmaturedly and
even the little tots soon learned
that he would not harm them and
gazsd at his SMILING features.
After a while he was hung up
70 the porch. The children and
young people were having games
and making merry in the house,

WITCHES OF HALLOWEEN
There are lots of witches roaming
Everywhere this Halloween;
They're the queerest lot of witches
Human eyes have ever seen.
They are hiding round the corners

There is one we meet quite often,
And his name is I forgot

And another Couldn't help it.
Tries his best to hoodwink us.
Hand in hand are two more witches
Here and there and everywhere

Oh, these naughty, naughty witch

They are sure to catch us map
