LEARNING WHITE MANS WAYS
Eskimos Said to Be Making Crafty.
Ing Progress as a Result of Mis-
sionaries' Teachings.

On Herschef island, where the sun
shines continuously for eight weeks in
summer, the Eskimos had a sun dance,
not always clothed in the garments of
propriety, writer in an exchange says.
They had an idea that when the sun
came back its movements were direct
ed by an invisible power, but they had
no tangible conception of God. They
had no belief in a future life, either
of reward or punishment. Today they
are religious. truthful, kind to their
children and to the aged. They are
ambitious to learn; they are practical,
extremely industrious, sanitary in
their habits, well clothed and well
housed. Insanity IS unknown, but tu-
berculosis is common.
They whale In summer and trap in
winter. They are clever in trading,
good workers on land, water and ice,
and take excellent care of their house.
hold effects. Tools, If broken, are
neatly repaired. When on Herschel
island or at Fort Mcpherson, they eat
the white mans food with great rel
ish. In summer they eat their fish and
blubber raw and in winter frozen. They
like food cooked, but it is a matter #
indifference to them. They will b.
ter for the white mans food, eat a
hearty meal of it. and then go out and
eat blubber and raw fish as dessert.
The contents of deer's stomach they
consider a great delicacy.

A dozen British prisoners of war
who had escaped from Germany met
at a dinner recently given in London
to celebrate their escape. At this din
ner it was decided to form a club,
membership of which was to be con-

BANK PAYS OUT
EFFICIENCY OF SOUTH DAKOTA
GUARANTY LAW.

Pierre, May 9.-The efficiency and
wisdom of a bank guaranty law and
its value to a state have been shown
In this state through the proceedings
of the banking department in rela-
ton to a failed bank, whose affairs
have now been closed up, wherein
the depositors have been entirely re-
imbursed, and in addition the depos.
itoTs' guaranty fund has been restor-
cd, all the liabilities of the bank
have been paid, and the assets now
in the hands of the banking depart
ment will be Immediately turned over
to the stockholders.
On September 80, 1916, Peter B.
Dirks, of Oacoma, died. and or that
date the affairs of the Citizens State
bank. of Oacoma, were taken over by
the state banking department and
the bank closed. Arrangements
were Immediately instituted for pay
ing off the depositors out of the de-
p~ositors' guaranty fund, accumulat-
ed under the provisions of the South
Dakota bank guaranty law, and on
October 9, 1916. the department paid
off the claims of the depositors as
rapidly as presented. On September
Is, 1917, there was paid back into
the depositors' guaranty fund a divi-
dend Of so per cent, and on May 1,
1918, a final dividend of 40 per cent
was paid, so that now all depositors
have been paid in full, and the guar
anty fund has been reimbursed for
the expenditure thus made.
