OLD NOMEITE BACK
 FROM SIBERIA. NEARLY
 MURDERED ON BOAT

] Ed Gross, former Nome tinsmith, who went to Siberia five years ago when It was made known that prospectors would not be molested, is back in Nome. but none know i better than himself that he came pretty near going to place where his residence would have been eter- nal Two long axe cuts just above the temple on his head are the reminders of how near he was to being murdered
 The substance of the story fol- lows:
 Gross had been trying to get away from Siberia for quite a while. t being. he said. quite i'm possible for white man to get along with the Soviets any longer. The trouble in getting away for the past two years was because the Cutter Bear had discontinued making relief trips outside of Am erican waters and the Soviets did not figure that terrorisms would come to notice.
 To get around this high handed method of the authorities. Gross had couple of Russian friends spread the propaganda that the Bear was to stop there this year. This worked fine. and when Gross boarded the little schooner Twin" to meet the Bear the officials dared not stop him.
 After the arrival in the Teller roadstead, Gross found out that one of the two men he had on board with him was a lawbreaker and SO he would not land him on American soil. For that reason he was going to land him on the Big Diomede Island, on the Russ ian side of the boundary But the Caucasian. whose name was Mosivak. did not like this program and started trouble.
 When imprisoned in the hold Mosivak got hold of some tools and started to cut into the bulk heads in an attempt to sink the ship. He was finally secured and bound to his bunk Waiting for his chance when Gross was asleep. Mosivak, getting free from his ropes. took an axe and in an at tempt to kill Gross. cut two slices out of his scalp. John Aaronoff, the third man on the vessel then broke into the play, taking after Mosivak with rifle and shooting through partition twice, hitting him in the shoulder and preventing him from getting an automatic pistol which he knew was Tn a trunk.
 A coroner's jury was called at Teller and looking over the boat made decision in about five min utes. exonerating Aaronoff, by a verdict of shooting in self defense. The body was buried at Teller without ceremony.
 The Twin proceeded to Nome where four days later Cross re- ceived medical attention by Dr. Welch. His wounds were too old to allow stitches to be taken so they will have to heal without this scientific aid.
 Gross declared "It is sure good to be back in Gods country again" and no doubt he means every word of it.

CalUaries of Paris
Are Rapidly Passing

Slowly the calvaries Of Paris are
vanishing The old walls on which
penltence and alteration erected them
have crumbled, have been swept away,
and the new walls know no calvaries
Here and there, however, writes "F
q. H." In the continental edition Of
the London Mail, the great and sor-
rowful symbol of the Christian faith
may still be seen.
In remote corners, just out of the
swift current of the city's life 1t stands
unheeded by the busy crowds. Only
the birds sometimes futter round it,
and In the manner of some medieval
legend, we might believe the feathered
things cared for something that hu-
mainly had almost forgotten. OF such
calvarles one may be found at the cor
ner of the Rue dAubervilliers and the
Rue de rEvangile.
1t has its place not In one of the
loveliest parts of the great city, and
we might be disposed to question the
work itself from the standpoint of
mere art. But there 1t stands, and
a creeper droops half caresslngly
around the head of 1t. 1t breaks sud
denly the level contour Of an ugly
wall. And sometimes 1t may seem
that nothing was ever broken in a
manner more wonderful than this poor
wall is broken by the dOlOrOus cal
vary.

Cookery and Slang
IN Od1 Relationship

Why the business of the cook should
be used as vehicle of scorn and re-
venge is a mystery OF our mysterious
language.
We boast that we "have settled his
hash" when we have "squashed" a
man and when counsel very severely
cross-examines a witness, or a mis-
tress gives a servant what is common
ly called "a piece of her mind" we
say that both got "a Jolly good roast
ing" If anyone has been thoroughly
bamboozled or made fool Of we say
he has been done brown"
Why do we say that certain circum-
stances or happenings have put a nah
Into pretty stew" or that certain
young man has "got himself into boil
Ing water" which almost certainly re-
fers to the dropping of some living
animal, like the lobster, into the potf
And why do we refer to some one who
has shown a lack of intelligence as
only half bakedf"
The phrase 1--WE cooked his goose"
has an ancient. origin. When Eric,
king of Sweden, reached certain
town with very few soldiers, the
enemy hung out a goose for him to
shoot. Finding, however, that 1t was
no matter for jest, the townsfOlk sent
heralds to learn what ne wanted. His
reply was: ITO cook your goose for
you."-LOndon Tit-Bits.

Blind Persons Read
Character by Voice

The similarity of voices Is not con
fusing Ito the blind) as a rule. Many
are similar, to be sure, but / have
never encountered absolute doubles,
and in general voices are as sharply
differentiated as faces-in fact, often
far more.
The only difficulty l have expert
enced, strangely enough, is caused by
one persons having several voices. All
Of us have; we change tone and quail
fly more or less unconsclously accord
ing to our mood and condition. But In
some the change is dlsmayingly
marked. One woman, for example,
has as many as five voices, each quite
distinct.
The physical condition is also re-
vealed by the voice In a striking de-
gree, both as to change and normal
characteristics. Fat people, for ex-
ample, have voice quality which is
all but invariably detachable.
Character, too, is easily read. In
fact it seems that character Is re-
vealed in the voice even more fully
and accurately than in the face, no
doubt because the subject, failing to
recognize this, makes less of an at
tempt to mask the yOice.-Charles Nc

Ancient College Custom

A person who fails to pass an ex-
animation is said to have been
"plucked." This meaning of the word
has curious origin. In olden days
when degrees were conferred in OK
ford two proctors marched solemnly
down the hall and back. Tradesmen
with grievances-namely, unpaid bills
would sit on the benches and pluck
the proctor's gown as he passed. If
the bill was big enough and the trades
man proved his case, the undergradu-
ate was refused his degree. Hence
the term 'plucked," which, now that
Its origin is forgotten, is used for fail
ing in examinations of any kind. The
proctors still march up and down the
hall, but of course their gowns are no
longed plucked.
