ESKIMO DOGS ARE REACHER0US vizi! iw ifiwi ft , rfz pff11"" fSbt Mrtr yf Ttpical Dog Team TEN little mounds of snow were huddled close to a hut on the western coast ot Hudson's bay when the sun rose over the sur A rounding wilderness. Far out from the shore the bay was frozen solid and over the ice and the land the gale whirled the feathery - snow in great clouds. If there had been a spirit thermometer at the hut it would have recorded a temperature of at least forty degrees below sero.e With the first appearance of the sun, two swarthy men, wrapped to their eyes in fur, emerged from the but on snow shoes' and drew from out the lean-to a long, low sledge on which was lashed a great load of skins. They were trappers about to start for the trading post some forty miles up the coast From the front of the sledge they call it komatlk extended for about eight feet a stout sealskin strand known In those regions as a bridle. Clearly it was meant that draft ani mals of some sort should be attached thereto.' But where were they? The trappers knew. ; Looking at the ten lit tle mounds of snow, one of them called sharply, "Ho. ho, ho, ho, ho!" After Night In Snow. The effect was curious. The ten lit tle mounds moved, and then were transformed Into as many dogs, which uncurled themselves, arose and shook the snow from their shaggy coats. An other sharp call and they came bound ing to the komatlk. Kicking and cuff ing them, the trappers got them into the harness. To the loop at the free end of the bridle they buttoned the sealskin traces, one of which extended over each dog's back, there to divide into two loops, which, after his front legs were thrust through them. Joined over his breast. Now there was a great hullabaloo, the dogs leaping excitedly about, tugging at their traces and bowling with all their might as the trappers took seats In the komatlk. The man in front had a whip of wal rus hide fully twenty-five feet long. Out It flew with a resonant crack. "Whit I Whit!" shouted the driver. With a final chorus of howls the dogs bent forward, straining hard to get their heavy load under way, and then with a mad rush they were off, the varying lengths of their traces permit ting them to travel together like a pack of wolves. Gradually their pace slackened un til It became a gentle trot. ' But on and on all day they went, following the coast line across frozen bays and the little necks of land that lay be tween them, their driver keeping them at their duty wtth hlB cry ot "Whit! Whit!" and an occasional crack ot tbe whip. Sometimes the trappers ran beside the komatlk on their enowshoes to get their blood in circulation, and once in awhile they would have to help tbe dogs haul the komatlk up a steep slope. Darkness was falling as they approached the end of their, 40 mlle Journey. The dogs were tired and lagged more and more. The driver, chilled through and hungry, became savage In his use of the whip. But suddenly on their own accord, the dogs broke into a run, and again filled the air with their howls. The white washed buildings of the post had come In sight. Faster and faster flew the dogs and, swinging the komatlk dizzily around a point of land they gave a series of leaps and bounds, to draw up at the post with a great Sourish that would have done credit to a fashion able coaching party. Pigs In a Monoplane. "When pigs begin to fly," will no longer convey quito such a notion of impossibility, for at Hendon, England, the other evening a pair of them en Joyed a crowded live minutes ot more or leas glorious life In a Blorlot mono plane, under the pilotage of Gustavo Haxoel. Mrs. Hart Davis was one of hundreds at the , aerodrome to see famous skymen perform for tbe bene fit ot Marcel Desoutter, the young Frenchman, . who recently broke bis leg In pursuit ot the science ot avia tion. She had a couple ot small black pet pigs with her, and carrying one under each arm, she Induced Hamel, who baa had dogs and cats as hia aerial companions before, to give them a thrilling sensation. They squeaked a tittle, were photographed a great deal, and, amidst laughter from the group surrounding tho yel low Uleriot, oft they started, and five minutes later down they came quite safely. A hard worker ot extraordinary en durance and indispensable withal,, in the desolate regions of the north, .where snow and ice reign throughout most of the year, the Eskimo or "husky" dog yet receives a bad name from the men for whom he slaves with no other reward than one slender meal a day and a bullet In the head when his five winters of service have worn him out. Extreme ferocity, cannibal ism, treachery and cowardice are the charges brought against him. That they are not without their basis Is proved by an incident bordering on a tragedy that occurred at post of the Hudson bay copany. 1 Boy's Narrow Escape. ' ' : The four-year-old eon ot the agent, well wrapped In fur, left the post house one day to play about the door. With him was his faithful companion and protector, a big mastiff that the agent had brought from England. The hus kies that composed the post team ol sledge haulers at first had attempted to welcome the mastiff to their midst in the very literal sense ot chewing him up; but, by dint of giving two or three of the pack a good mauling, the mastiff had established it, once and for all, that he was not their meat. So now, while the little boy romped in the enow the huskies skulked about at a safe distance. From out of the win dow the child's mother glanced occa sionally to see that all was well Suddenly there was a commotion that sent the mother to the door in a frenzy of fear. ' One piercing scream had come from the child, to be suc ceeded by a riot of yelps, snarls and howls. The sight that greeted the mother was appalling. Her boy was down; with the pack of huskies tum bling over one another to get to him, while the big mastiff gallantly fought to save his young charge from their dripping fangs. The child, It was later learned, had fallen on a patch of Ice and the huskies, ever on the alert for an advantage to attack, had set upon him In an Instant. Tbe big mastiff sprang immediately to the reBcue. Their lust for human flesh had over come the huBkles' fear of the mastiff; but while he could not save his charge from being shockingly bitten, his heroic onslaught upon the pack of maddened brutes prevented them from tearing the boy to pieces on the spot and thus enabled the mother to reach her child before it was too late. , The next day the frosty air about the post rang repeatedly to the reports of a rifle, and when the usual silence that broods over the wilderness had been restored, 12 husky dogs lay dead in the snow. It was an act not so much ot revenge as ot protection; once a husky gets a taBte of human blood, no person thereafter Is safe In bis vi cinity. . Such Is the treachery of the dogs that visitors are always warned not to attempt to pet them. Even it the dog you are stroking does not take advan tage ot the occasion to help himself to a mouthful of your flesh, the others are likely to Imagine that a banquet is In progress and make haste to partici pate. A driver that slips and falls among the dogs while arranging their harness is lucky if the tangs of all of them are not burled in him in the twinkling of an eye. Social Courtesy.

' UTVTUTVTVTvTvTWVtWtUTUtVTWVtUtvT OtOOtOtOHOt New Indian Animal Stories Why the Mole Burrows mu By JOHN M. OSKISON . Children, Color Up This Picture. (Copyright, 1914, by the MoClure News paper Syndicate.) long time ago the mole was a big animal who lived on top of the ground and walked and talked with all the other animals; and the story of how he came to change his Bhape and go to live underground Is what the old men used to tell to the little children as they walked across the young corn fields late on the sunny afternoons and saw where the mole had been at work throwing the earth up In ridges which tbe little boys liked to trample upon. "Well," the old men would say, "it was a long time ago, and the story Is about your great-great-great-greatgrandfather and your great-great-great-great-grandmother when they were fine young people. When he was a fine young fighting man, strong enough to run from this settlement to the one across the mountains in one day and sit up all night in the council when he got there. "And she was such a young woman as the old men used to like to see down at the spring, laughing and working at the deerskin. She was laughing all the time, under her black hair and out of her big brown eyes. "And even 'when your great-great-great-great-grandfather came to see her and sang his song she only laughed and ran away to her mother. No, she would not be married to any young man so she sold, "Long time, this strong and brave young man tried to win the hand of your great - great great - great - grand mother, but she would not listen to him, and he made himself Bick think ing about her. And it was then that the mole passed by his camp and felt sorry for him. So the mole said: ' 'I know why you are sick and why you are weeping, and I will help you. I can make it so that the young woman will like you and come to you of her own free will. Just wait here for me.' And then the mole went away. Late that night, when your great- great - great - great - grandmother ; was sound asleep, the mole burrowed his way under the ground and came up inside the house where Bhe was asleep. And when he saw that she was Bleep- SOMETHING. NOVEL FOR BOYS Youth's Invention Reduces Hoop-Rolling Stunt to Minimum Amount of . Labor Stick Does It. The preeent-day tendency toward the simplification ot processes makes Itself felt in the playroom as well as elsewhere. The email boy and girl are encouraged to discard old-time meth ods to devise something new. Not so Saves Energy. . long ago the children were satisfied to propel a hoop along the sidewalk by beating it with a stick at regular Intervals. This performance required more or less constant attention and the needless expenditure of a great deal ot energy. This waste of physical strength Is now conserved by the in vention ot a email boy, which enables him to keep the hoop In motion with a small amount ot labor and attention. This Invention consists ot a stick, somewhat longer than that usually made use of tor beating the hoop and is not necessarily aa thick, but near the end there la a smaller stick at right angles with the first The latter la held In contact with the hoop at a point below the hoop and not tar from the ground, and as tbe child walks along after the hoop the latter is pro pelled at a regular speed without much farther thought by the child operator. lug very soundly, he took out her heart and went out the same way he came in. - ) :..: "A- "And then the mole went straight to the house of tbe young man and put the heart of your grsat-great-great-great-grandmother Into his hands. It was so light that the young man could not even feel It In his hands! Then the mole said: " 'You must swallow the heart and then the young woman will be drawn to you.' "So the young man swallowed the heart of the young woman, and when she woke she bad a very strange feel ing. - -. " 'I must go to that young man,' Bhe said, and she no longer wanted to laugh when she thought about him. And then the feeling got so strong that she had to go, and when the young man saw her coming, he knew that she was to be his wife, and tbe mole's way was good. 1 "Now, all the medicine people of the tribe wanted to know what It was that made the ' young woman change her mind. When they found out it was the mole, they were angry with him, and wanted to kill him. You see, the mole had never been a fellow for talk ing, and everybody thought that he waB Just a stupid, soft-hearted fellow of no account "Of course, the mole did not want to be killed by the Jealous medicine people, and so he hid himself under the ground and ever since he has stayed there. And ever since he bas been getting smaller, his nose has been getting sharper and he no longer bas much use for eyes. Maybe because his eyeB are no good, he eats the hearts of the grains of corn we plant in spring. "But the mole earned his few grains of corn, don't you think so?" And the little boys would step off the ridge above tbe mote's burrow and nod their heads. ; Transformation. , t - Why Is a woman deformed when she is mending her stockings? Because her hands are where her feet should be. A Parrot Bank. Three or four years ago a parrot be-' longing to an old woman In Chester, England, made such a nuisance of. herself that some one poisoned, her. The old woman had the dead bird stuffed and placed on a perch in the house. A few weeks ago she died of old age, and everything In her house was -sold at auction. The Btuffed par rot was bought by a boy for a six pence, and when he got it home be found about four thousand dollars In it. The old woman had used the dead bird for a bank. ' There Is a suit against the boy's father to recover the money, but it 1b believed he will be1 allowed to keep It Don't Bt Loft-Handed. It bas Seen estimated that about one boy out oi fifteen is left-handed when he reaches the age of ten. This is his mother's fault In not making him use his right hand more during his ba byhood. In Germany there are schools where the boy is taught to bo right handed. Nearly all tools are made for right-banded men, and the boy who grows up left-handed will be awkward. If one can use both hands alike he has an advantage In some things; but it Beems as It nature intended the right arm to do most ot the work. An Industrious Chap. The song ot the tree toad, which can be heard anywhere In the country on a summer night, consists in calling out: ."Sleep!. Sleep! Sleep!" He repeats this SO times a minute when not disturbed, and has been known to call out 4,000 times without a rest In stead of putting persons to sleep he keeps many awake with his free con certas. While his Industry Is worthy ot praise, his sole object In singing seems to be to hear his own voice. In that he Is like many men and -women. , " In Suspense). A small boy gazed long and earnest ly at a fat man who stood on a corner absent-mindedly chewing the end of a piece ot string.
