Do Bio Jobs First.

The more you ponder difficulties the
harder they seem. So the thing Is TO
get them off the slate as soon as possi-
bic. You get them off by going after

day. Estimate the toll in each prob.
lem. Tackle the hardest one before
you are tired. That may not be ac-
cording to precedent, but it's according
to good generalship. AS soon as you
get that off the list tackle the next
thing In Importance. Keep the work
going and you're bound to win vic
tories over self and the Job you face.
Soon there won't be any real problems

Of attacking things in the best order.

SING TO SETTLE QUARRELS
Esklmos Have Peculiar Manner OF
Adjusting Their Grievances--En.
envy Must Listen.

The EsklmOS, who I've in the ice
bound. barren Northland, have way
Of settling Quarrels which seems very
strange and amusing TO those who live
In land Of policemen and courts Of
justice. There. when Quarrels arise.
the man who has a grievance writes
song in which he tells the wrongs thar
have been done him. When this has
been composed TO his satisfaction, he
invites his enemy TO come and hear
him sing 1t. This the enemy must do,
and he brings with him all his rela-
tiyes and many of his friends. while
the singer also has gathered his friends
and relatives for the occasion, which
is considered something Of a general
entertainment by the people of the vii
lage In which the men live.
Then, while other men Of the village
pound madly on huge drums, the song
Of wrongs Is begun. When 1t Is fin.
ished. if the audience expresses ap-
prevail the singer Is considered to have
won and to have just cause Of com.
plant. But IL dissatisfaction Is ex.
pressed, that Is considered sufficient
punishment. After the song everyone
dances and the party breaks up In
great good humor.
