HIS DEBT TO ESKIMO WOMEN
Life Of Famous Churchman Of the
Yukon Saved by the "Muck-
locks" They Had Made.

That Hudson Stuck, noted archdea-
con of the Yukon, who died recently.
should for Is years have escaped the
death from freezing and hardshlps
which he risked a hundred times a
year, may have been due TO a special
protection Of Providence. but in one
case at least, he owed his life to the
strong teeth Of Eskimo women, accord
ing to a Seattle dispatch.
He told this story himself the last
time he was in the States. II hap
pened just when the first thaws were
setting In one spring. An Indian run
ner brought him an urgent call for
help from the missions on the Kuyu
kuk, far north of the Yukon. call
that could not wait until the rivers
were open and the days of dangerous
travel past.
SO the archdeacOn started from
Fairbanks on foot, with one Indian
and a dog train. They followed the
Tanana to the Yukon. reaching the
great river at shutdown. and striking
out across the ice on a sharp diagonal
which heightened the crossing to five
miles. 1t had been biting cold under
the lee of the shore. and on the I'M
sheltered river DR.. Sucks thermome-
ter registered so degrees below zero
Four miles of ice were behind them
when trouble began First there was
a vast grooming of the river and thin
cracks zigzagged away from them in
all directions.
Experience told them that the strong
currents below the northern bank
were at work again after their win
ter's rest. As they turned back to-
ward the stronger footing behind
them, the ice broke sharply at their
feet, and before they could throw
thighs in the chilly water.
Fortunately one section of the ice
crust within reach held firm and they
were on their feet again in an instant.
knowing that their only hope against
death by freezing in that terrific cold
was fOur-mile race to shore and a
brushwOod fire.
1--WE could never have won that
race concluded the archdeacon, "if
dry feet and the circulation pumped
to them by the tremendous effort of
our running hadn't helped us. Other
wise we should have frozen to death
on the first mile. Our lives were saved
by our leather mucklocks, the high
native boots whose seams have been
chewed to a watertight pulp between
the teeth of the Eskimo women"

Farm Women's LONG Hours.

The Kansas Industrialist remarks
that an extensive survey made by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture shows SO per cent of the farm
women do the family washing and
more than half of them are still using
the dashboard. Sixty-one per cent of
the farm women carry water an aver
age of forty feet. Ninety-two per cent
do the family sewing and mendIng,
and large majority do the family
baking.
The farm woman's work day aver
ages eleven and one-half hours, the
survey shows. The department is CO.
operating with state colleges of agri-
culture In an effort to bring about bet
ter conditions for women on the farm,
especially more home conveniences. AS
a result of this work a thousand farm
kitchens were remodeled last year.

Catch Salmon at Sea.

Fishing for salmon is prohibited at
the present time In nearly all the
rivers Of Alaska and altogether in the
southeastern part of the territory.
Meanwhile the fishery goes on; but
II is a marine fishery. The salmon
are caught on their feeding grounds
out at sea with purse seines, gill nets,
floating traps and fish lines.
Trolling for salmon is great sport
and is particularly fine off the straits
Of San Juan de Fuca.
Unfortunately, very many of the
salmon captured at sea are not vet
full grown. That they should be TAX,
en- before they are mature means few
er to run up the rivers to spawn In
coming years. 1t helps to make the
outlook for the future of the fisher,
bad one.

CHURCH A REFUGE
PeWS of London Edifice Made In
to Sleeping Places.
All Who Faced Night In the Streets
Made Welcome at Old ST. Mar
tins the Fields.

st. Martins-ln-the-F Fields -- always
a place of midnight shelter for people
stranded In London streets-was ha-
ven to some of the mothers who had
come from distant towns to attend the
ceremonies in memory of the unknown
soldier dead, and TO soldiers who 9th
erwise must have tramped the streets,
says writer in the Manchester Guard
ian.
Long before midnight they began to
come. In the light of the pickering
candles on the white altar and the
few lights shining on the white ceiling
of the gallery one saw two or three
well-dressed women sitting in the pews
on one side and two or three men on
the other, and wondered whether 1t
were worth while Keeping the church
open and two policewomen in attend
ance for so few wanderers. But the
sound of heavy breathing, so loud in
the silence did not come from them,
nor was the lad in khaki who lay
asleep In the bottom of pew, his head
resting on a hassock. responsible.
Tiptoeing down the long aisle to the
end, where a man knelt in prayer be-
fore the wreath of palms entwined
with crimson ribbon, which was to go
to the cenotaph, one found that there
were sleeperS on the seats of nearly
every pew. Occasionally they wax
ened and peered sleeply over the back
of the pews as newcomer entered.
Then they sank To rest again. while
the stranger, after few hesitant min
utes sitting bolt upright as If at a serv-
ice, disappeared from sight and soon
was fast asleep.
The pOlicewomen kept unobtrusive
watch. Where they saw man sleep
ing on the floor they woke him, remind
ing him that he must lie on the seat.
The man In shirtsleeves was told to
put on his coat; the man who for
second time had diSregarded the order
to put on his boots and who had rolled
under the seat had to leave the church.
The discipline of the shelter is slight,
but II must be 0beyed
After midnight young woman from
Lancashire came In. carrying heavy
child. She said that all day she had
sought In vain for lodgings. No one
would take her in because of the baby,
and at last kindly policeman had
sent her here. AS she sat there hold
ing the child her shoulders moved I'M
easily. One saw that she had come to
the end of her endurance, and a po-
Ncewoman, folding a thick coat, made
up bed on the pew for the preternat-
urally well-behaved child. Then the
mother went to sleep secure of shelter
till five in the morning, when the wait
ing rooms at Charing Cross would be
open to her. The older women, the
mothers of soldiers, glanced around
from time to time. but were evidently
determined not to yield to their ia,
tigue. They would sit the night
through. The rules are simple. Peo-
pie are allowed to make use of the
church for one night. In case of emer-
gency a second visit may be allowed,
but no more.

Save the Children!
Perhaps we cannot save all the

can save the little children who hold

This has been our signal contribu-

ENDS TELEPHONE COURTsHIP

Paris, Dec. ga decision given
in a Civil Court here today has put
damper On the breathing of sweet
nothings over the telephone in the
early morning hours.
1t was the habit of a certain young
woman, either from devotion Or sus-
picion, to telephone her sweetheart
two or three times every morning b.
TWEEN the hours Of / and 8. AS the
mans telephone was on the house
system, each call awakened the con-
cierge and made it necessary for her
to get up and attend the switch
board.
After several months the concierge
wearied of the nightly interruption
of her slumber and complained to
the landlord, who had the "owr' tel
ephone removed.
Taking the case into court, the
tenant insisted that as he had rent
ed the apartment with a telephone
he had the right to use it when he
pleased The landlord thereupon
asked the Judge what he was to do
if all his tenants followed the young
mans example. The Judge threw
the case out, ordering the man to
pay costs.

Is by results that government or

1t is futile to discuss details when
the fault is fundamental. Under
universal and equal suffrage the
temptation IS to produce legislation
agreeable to that class which can
muster the largest numerical
strength. The function of Congress
is to inspire rather than to reflect the
thought of it's constituents. How

"THREE WISE FOOLS"

The writer of this criticism ha d
the advantage before witnessing the
performance of 1.-The Three Wise
Fools of reading the opinion of sew
eral dramatic critics on this partic-
ular play. 1t is interesting always
to know just what the other fellow
thinks of a play, especially when
that fellow is trained observer.
These others spoke we'll of the play
and extravagantly of one actor, John
w. Ransome, who handled the role
Of Theodore Finley. 1 thoroughly
agree with them that Mr.. Ransome
was splendid actor in an appeal
ing part. His impersonation of
Teddy was superb and deserves un-
reserved approval. However, I beg
leave to differ with the other critics
in some particulars. For instance
the finest bit of acting to my way of
thinking in the entire show was that
done by Miss Hazel Sexton, in the
part of Miss Fairchild, in the graft
tude scene at the birthday dinner.
This young woman, with the atmos-
phere not we'll prepared suddenly
rose to a lofty height Of acting and
in a moment brought tears to eyes
moment before twinkling with
laughter. She handled all her lines
and scenes with wonderful ability
but in the scene referred to and in
one other, the moment of her accus-
al. she attained real greatness.
Burke Clark as DR.. Richard Gaunt
and Harry Forsman as Judge Trum-
bull were rather subordinated to
Theodore Finley. the other Wise
Fool. by the playwright, but they
acted with fine ability and with
naturalness that greatly commends
itself. Robert l.. Keith as Gordon
Schuler, the nephew of Finley and
the sweetheart of Miss Fairchild was
one of the most appealing Characters
in the east. The playwright eyi-
IDENTIFY acting upon the theory that
youth and melodrama go together
touched up his part with a bit too
much romantic intensiveness. But
Keith went through this very we'll in
deed
The play asa whole was thorough
ly entertaining and we hope that
Paul Phillips will be able to hook
other plays Of equal merit for the
season
