HIS DEBT TO ESKIMO WOMEN
Life Of Famous churchman Of the
Yukon Saved by the "Muck.
locks" They Had MadeI

That Hudson Stuck, noted archdea-
con of the Yukon, who died recently.
should for Is years have escaped the
death from freezing and bardships
which he risked a hundred times
year, may have been due to special
protection of Providence, but in one
case at least, he owed his life to the
strong teeth of Eskimo women, accord
ing to Seattle dispatch.
He told this story himself the last
time he was In the States. 1t hap
pened just when the first thaws were
setting in one spring. An Indian rum
ner brought him an urgent call for
help from the missions on the Kuyu-
kuk, far north of the Yukon, a 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
vast groaning 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
ters rest. AS they turned back to-
ward the stronger footing behind
them, the ice broke sharply at their
feet, and before they could throw
themselves fiat they were wet to the
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 a four-mile race to shore and a
brushwood fire.
eve 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 watertight pulp between
the teeth of the Eskimo women"

occurred at her home in Unity Sunday.
Jan. 2, after an illness covering period
of five months. the result of a paralytic
shock. Although it had long been ex-

older residents of the town and one who
was always deeply interested in all its
lect, great reader and student and kept
her interest in all Iublic affairs even
after she was stricken. She was be-
lever in the Unive1sslist faith, and al

BLACK BEAR PUT UP FIGHT

AS residents of Maine know, the black
bear is usually shy, inoffensive animal,
but farmer who lives in Brownville ran
across one not long ago that proved to be
very lively exception to the rule. The
bear attacked him in the woods about a
mile from his house so fercely and so
persistently that it defeated his every
effort to escape until he managed to pick
up two heavy clubs. By feinting with
one and hitting with the other, he fought
it off until he worked his way to an open
field.-Youth's Companion.

INAUGURATION DAY

That is characteristic appeal of
Presldent-elect Harding to the insugu-
ration committees at Washington to
abandon all plans for an elaborate cele-
bration in connection with his Inaugural
ton. What he desires is simply to take
the oath of office, deliver brief address,
and then enter at once upon his new
duties. Pomp and ceremony, parades
and demonstrations are not to his taste,
and, as he said in his telegram to the in
auguratiOn committee, his position would
be a very unhappy one if the outlay for
an elaborate inaugural created the i'm
preston of extravaganza.
No one will question Mr.. Harding's
sincerity. The conditions are unique.
Back of US, as a nation, lies period of
reckless spending. No one demurred,
for instance, when Congress appropriat
ed one hundred million dollars to finance
President Wilson's visit to France Be-
fore us lies period of necessary prudence
and economy, when appropriations for
all departments must be cut, the govern
mental force greatly reduced and frugal
ity be made the order of the day.
The ceremonies and festivities con
nected with the inauguration of Presi
dent have made Joyous occasion for the
residents of Washington. 1t will be a
keen disappointment to them to miss them
this year. But at a time of nationwide
compulsory saving, Just as we have
reached the peak of unemployment, and
conditions are beginning to improve, it is
we'll to have an example of thrift set to
the nation-an example so conspicuous
that it cannot be overlooked. The ma
ton and the individual citizen need to
concentrate attention at this time, not
upon the things which they would like to
have or to do, and which would be natu
raj in normal times, but upon the things
which they can do without. A costly
Inauguration celebration is one of those
things.-Boston Herald.

American Federation Of Labor during
its history to consider unusual con-
ditions.
Concerning the intention to give
attention to attacks on trade union

These attacks include attempts to
establish the anti-union shop. wage
reductions. anti-strike LAWS compul,
sorry arbitration, labor lnjunetions and
81 publicity that would mould the pub
