POINTS OUT HUSBANDS DUTY
Writer Insists No Man May Stand In
the Light of His Wife's Domes-
tic Ambitions.

"Puzzled husband" writes us that
he is sorely tried by his wife's amoi-
ton to bake the family bread, and
other things. His domestic affection
and spirit of chivalry will not permit
him to tell his wife the truth--tnat
the bread is almost as heavy as paw
ing stone and quite as indigestible. so
he goes to work every morning with
a heavy heart and an even heavier
stomach. and is bedeviled with gripes
and abdominal pains all day, Greene
M. Farley writes in the Seattle Post
Intelligencer.
Not only that, but his wife is a con-
slant reader of domestic science de-
partments and she uses him as an ex-
pertinent station. This last week. he
says, he had biscuits that would do for
slnkers on a fish line and an angel
cake that could not be differentiated
from old putty. The heartrending fea-
ture is that she asks him with
bright smile how he likes 1t all, and he
cannot find 1t in his breast to tell the
truth about It; so he lies frankly and
Fundamentally.
All this is getting on his nerves and
on his stomach and on his conscience.
In the course of a little time he
feels his life insurance is going to be
due.
Should he tell her the truth. or
should he suffer In silence and let her
go ahead and collect the life insur-
ance?
If life is worth anything to him he
might conclude to tell her the truth
and let her go ahead and procure her
divorce. She might find second hus-
band with a cast-iron digestive appa-
ratus and the present husband ought
not to stand in the way of his wife's
career as a domestic scientist.

Msxieans Are Great Walkers.

There is saying in Europe thar
the Spaniards are the champion walk
ers of the world, and certainly their
descendants in America, the Mexicans,
are the champions Of the new world.
Three nights every week there Is

in Monterey and nearly all the Amer
leans In town, including many big.
husky transients on the way to or
from Tampico, sit on the park benches
and watch In wonder while the Next

All the young people In town. 1t ap-
pears, walk around and around and
around that plaza, the boys in one
direction and the girls in the opposite
direction, while their parents and

here was fish, of which he partook
with great relish. To demonstrate
his hardy constitution and resistance
to cold, it is said that he disrobed and
disported himself on the ice of Lake
Menomin for considerable time. A
Wisconsin winter has no terrors for
this hardy son of the North. To ac-
quire like capacity the recipe is
simple. All you have to do is to be a
native of Northern Alaska and live
a lifetime there of SO years.

language does not belle the state

peated. ITO hunt and trap. made

The soiourner has been months
on his way from Seattle. He looks
rugged and somewhat weather-beaten.
His dress suggests nothing of North
Alaska life. He wore rough pair
of shoes, an ordinary suit such as
man might wear in any climate. Be-
meath that was black cotton shirt
and at the neckband was no collar,
but there peeped from below the edge
of cotton undershirt. He scorned
the thought of an overcoat. The con-
versaticn took place at the News Off
ce, and after moving about the place
a short time he complained of being
too warm and departed. Incidentally,
il may be stated that the traveller
did not come to "give an interview
or seek publicity. He was accompan-
led by citizen from another part of
the county who had met Light at his
hotel and had conceived the idea OF
having some circulars printed to be
used by Light in his travels for the
purpose of q certain propaganda.
This plan, however, was so modified
that the circulars were dispensed
with.
"Just take hold of my hands," urg-
ed Light, is speaking of his warmth.
They are unlike ordinary hands. They
were perspiring, but they seemed to
perspire oil. There was certain
greasiness about the palms.
"What do you eat?"
Grease" he said. ssWe drink
grease up there, just as yon eat meat
and potatoes. One meal day is Ell

Speaking of his home conditions he
| said that there was no thought OF
| farming or mining where he came
| from. There were, he said, some

Hiking From
Nome to Chill
J. ID. Linehan, of This City, Has An
Alaskan as Guest ON Auto Trip
From Men0mOnie to Madison

The first of last week J. ID. Linehan
of this city drove Senator George B..
Skogmo's touring car from here to
Madison, so that the Senator might
have the use of his car during the leg
islatiye session. Mr.. Linehan said
that the roads were in good shape,
and that he made the entire trip with
out difficulty. A trip of over $50 miles
by auto on Wisconsin roads during
the first week in January is unusual
in itself, but Mr.. Linehan's experience
I'D an added feature in that for a
greater portion of the journey he had
as his guest an Alaskan who was
hiking" from Nome to Chill.
Just out of Menomonie Dan, who
was alone in the car, overlook pc
destrian and offered him a lift" The
stranger thankfully accepted, and,
much to Dams surprise, it developed
that even the 200-mile Gift" to Madi-
son was but "a short portion of the
hiker's journey. At Madison, upon
invitation of Senator Skogmo, Mr..
Linehan's guest gave a talk before the
Senate.
Before leaving Menomonie the
Alaskan visited the Dunn County
News office, and that paper gives the
following account of his visit:
Son of Far, Far North visits Menom-
onie on Hiking Trip to Chill
From out of the frozen North en-
route to sunny Chill came a stranger
to Menomonie Saturday, huntsman
of the land of eternal snow and ice,
bound for the wilds of the, semi-trop-
les in quest of bigger game.
Frank Light, one of the first AM
orleans to have been born in the cold
regions of the far North, is walking
from Seattle to New Orleans, where
he will embark for South American
port. "You see, / had to take the
change gradually" he said when ask
ed why he did not cruise down the
Pacific coast to his destination from
Nome. "a transition as rapid as that
might have proven too much for my
system"
Light works as he goes, doing odd
Jobs here and there sufficient to pay
his expenses, for he is in no hurry
and his wants are not elaborate. He
was born $50 miles north of Nome
where his parents and a family OF
brothers and sisters still live, accord
ing to his story. 1t is an outpost OF
! civilization, if that term ever applied
| fittingly to any locality on the globe
So far out is it posted that there arr
where this family lives, no stores, nc
community life, no money in clrcuia-
ton, no conveniences, no neighbors
They are alone on the e-fields-alone
with the snow and ice, the midnight
sun and their dogs. Hunting and fish
ing furnish them their livelihood.
This was the only life which the
traveller knew until seventeen years
ago, he says, when an adventurous
spirit, DIR. Davis of Fit. Wayne, Ind,
CAME upon this strange family. The
