Fat Beauties.

Throughout the empire Of Morocco
and in Tunis there are villages where
the elder members Of the adult popu-
latlon follow professionally the pursuit
Of fattening young ladies for the mat
rimonial market OF Barbary.
The Moors, like the Turks and most
other Orientals, give a decided prefer
ence to "moon-faced" wives over lean
ones, and are more solicitouS as to the
number of pounds which their brides
weigh than about the stock Of accom-
plishments they possess.
A girl is put under the process OF
fattenlng when she Is about twelve
years Of age. Her hands are tied be-
hind her and she is seated on d carpet
during so many hours every day, while
her papa" stands over her with a
stick, and her mother, at times, pops
into her mouth a ball Of stiff maize
p~orridge, kneaded up with grease and
just large enough to be swallowed
without the patient choking.
If the unfortunate girl declines TO be
stuffed she Is compelled by torture,
and gulps down the boluses, lest She
should be beaten.

~NON-PARTISAN MEETING

The non partisan meeting at the G..
A. r. Hall on Monday drew a fair sized
crowd for that small hall. Those who
were present seemed to be in sympa-
thy with the speaker and in a receptive
frame of mind for the talk that he
gave. There a nothing revolution
airy, s%editious, or unpatriotic about
what was said. In fact it Is largely
along the same line of thought as
characterized the talks that were given
by Alliance, Populist and semi-Social-
list orators of the years gone by. The
DRY and hypothesis form the most of
the argument and the questions raised
are the ones that come in one form or
another to every college student of
sociology and economics.

WHERE WILD FOWL BREED
Yukon River and the Lakes Of That
Hyperborean Region Favored
Spot Of Many Birds.

Until the acquisition OF Alaska by
the United States 1t was a wonder
where certain wild TOW went when
they migrated from temperate climeS
on the approach Of summer as well as
snOwbirds and other small species Of
the feathered tribe. 1t was after
ward found. observes Il writer in the
Kansas City Journal, that their hab-
ltat in summer was the waters Of
Alaska-the Yukon river and the lakes
Of that ~hyperborean region.
People wonder where the wild fowl
come from. They see the Sandhpl
crane the wild goose heron and other
fowl every spring and fall pursue
their unwearied way, but like the wind,
they do not know whence they come
Or whittier they go.
Up on Golovine bay, on the north
side of Norton sound, is the breeding
place Of these fowls. All the birds
IN creation, seemingly, go to that
try to breed. Geese, ducks, swans
and thousands upon thousands of sand
hill cranes are swarming there all the
time. They lay their eggs in the blue
stem grass in the lowlands.
Myriads of robins and swallows are
there, as we'll as millions of magnifi-
cent grouse, wearing red combs and
feather moccasins. This grouse turns
as white as snow in winter.
You can kill dozens of teal ducks
or grouse as fat as butter balls in a
few moments. The wild fowl and
bears live on salmon berries and
h~uckleberrieS, with which the hills are
literally covered.

mitory. On Tuesday she again ad-
dressed the College girls and organized
a committee. Yesterday she visited
Elkton in company with Mr.. and Mrs.
|. f. Lees and last evening departed
for Huron.
During her talks Miss Pidgeon spoke
of the great harm the suffrage cause
had suffered through the picket work
done in Washington and pledged for
the future work the putting down Of
such methods in all work of the Ma.
tional Organization. In speaking Of
woman's place in war work she said
in part as follows:
with so many of our boys going TO
the front, women are needed more
than ever before in the government
The countries with which we are al
lied are recognizing this, and are TAX
ing long steps in the enfranchisement
of their women. We give our soldier
boys physical support through the Red
Cross and Food Conservation work.
we must give them the moral support
of standing at home for the Democracy
they fight for. In government, as else
where, women will not be found slack
ers."

NIGHT SHADOWS IN RUSSIA
Penetrating Light Makes Sleep lmpos-
sible Unless the Traveller Carries
a Blue Curtain.

The particular journey herein re-
corded fell on a white night in June
one of those eerie white nights against
which the Russian or Siberian trav-
eler carries a canny blue curtain,
Olive Gilbreath writes in the Yale Re-
view.
Without these blue guards sleep Is
out of the question and the senses, pur-
sued by the penetrating light, are
as ragged as the beggars staring
out of the stations. Verst after verst,
hour after hour, the plain unwlnds end
lessly, m~onotonOusly, like wool from
q sGein. A pale inCandescence hangs
over the earth, %fringing objects ghost
lily. Trees blur in the half-light and
grow phenomenally large; izbas and
windmills scrape the sky. A tremor
of primitive terror runs through ones
limbs. One calls to the hills for de-
liverance-but there is not even a rise
in the ground! With midnight springs
I'D a delusive promise of respite from
the light; a shadow creeps reassur-
ingly over the earth, but 1t Is dusk
and not darkness. There Is no re-
prieve. At II the sun dips below the
horizon; at 80 1t balances again like
q replenished bag, splitting its orange
and amethyst flood over the earth. The
restless cycle has begun again, and
still the plain unwinds endlessly, mo-
notonously-brightly now. At seven
one reaches N~izninovgorod. If 1t Is
June, the sun has been up five hours.
