His kisses curled or something.

the ordered bottle on the table and the
unordered kiss, or two it might have
been, on her cheek She told her hus-
band, Arnold, and he was none too
good-natured about it, either.

that Messerman never kissed them,

relevant and brought in verdict Of
500 for the voluntarily kissed one.
She had asked $500.

nary memento of the early expectations,
however, is the wooden leg, which was
cited by the explorer as one of the
best evidences of the accuracy of Els
kimo traditions, because 1t shows an
exact preservation of information
which came to the tribe originally at
Adelaide peninsula nearly a century
ago.
"The leg was most ingeniously
made" he said. at consisted Of more
than 20 pieces Of wood. There is no
timber from which solid piece could
be obtained in that part Of the world,
and the Eskimo had to rely on drift
wood. Each small piece was pierced.
Strips of seal rawhide were put
through the holes and they were all
dashed together. piece of wood
which projected forward, as substi-
tute for the ball of the foot, was tied
on the bottom. There was not nail
in the whole thing. The leg was off
below the knee. 1t was dashed on
above the knee, about as we would do
it.
II asked the Eskimo how he had
learned to do this. He said his father
had told him. The father told how he
had learned by word of mouth from the
elder of the tribe of the time when
white men visited this part of the
world. One of the Eskimos then had
lost a leg, and white man who be-
longed to the party had showed him
how to construct one of wood and how
to harness it on to the stump. The
exact manner of doing this, all the
tricks of leg-making, had been retained
in memory.
"When l returned to civilization
looked up the account of the Ross ex-
petition and there this incident. which
occurred in 1928, is described in de-
tail. The names of the Englishmen
and of the Eskimo was precisely that
given to me by the father of the one
legged man."
Captain Bernard said that If ice
conditions were normal this summer,
the party organized by Stefansson
which raised the British flag on Wran-
CELL island, might be rescued. He said
that experienced Arctic men could
easily live the year round on the
island, having polar bear as the chief
article of diet, and that there was no
reason to be pessimistic about the fate
of the party.

Experience on Gibraltar

Gibraltar.-David Lloyd George and
his family, with Lord Birkenhead and
other notables, witnessed display
of fighting bulls at the Algeciras
ranch of the GallardO brothers.
The entertainment was not an ac-

sensational ending. A, herd of young
bulls bred for the ring was turned
loose on broad plain. The animals
were .baited with capes by men mount
ed and afoot, and while the action was
at it's height, one bull escaped. He
charged the spectators and general
stampede followed. Every one sue
ceeded in reaching the line of auto
mobiles bordering the field, and the
bull was made captive.
Mr.. Lloyd George was later photo
