POINTED PARAGRAPHS
HOW ESKIMOS HUNT THE SEAL
P ursuers
of Rich-Furred Animals
Sneak Up Close Enough to Shoot
Arrow Into T heir Head?
Today the Eskimo method of h u n t
ing seals Is a primitive culling im
proved to a fine art, w rites a n a tu r a l
ist. W hen a seal is discovered the di
rection of the wind is a t once noted.
Then the hunter, keeping him self to
the leeward of the seal, w alks u p to
within about a q u a r te r of a mile of it.
Beyond this he begins to crouch and
advances only when the seal’s head Is
down.
Now. ns the seal is one of the most
wide-awake of anim als and ha s the
habit of throwing up its head quickly
every few seconds to guard against
danger, it follows th a t the Eskimo has
to be extrem ely alert if he would get
his seal. W hen the seal’s head is down
upon the ice its eyes are shut, and It
is said th a t in these brief intervals it
ta k e s its sleep.
T he hunter, by carefully w atching
the seal's movements, is able w ithout
much difficulty to get w ithin about 200
yards of it. but a t closer q u a rte rs he
19 obliged to employ other tnetics. He
lies down a t full length on the ice.
Then the real sport begins.
W hen the seal's head is down the
hunter, who keeps a keen eye on his
prey, is able to approach still n e a re r
by dragging himself forw ard on his el
bows. This maneuvering continues for
some time, until the distance between
tiiHn and beast has been reduced to a
few yards.
When nenr enough to m ake a sure
shot, the Eskimo takes his bow a n d
arrow from Ms side and sends n sw ift
shaft through the head of Its outw itted
companion.
FLOCK TO HER WITH GIFTS
Woman In Atlanta Used Slippers as a
Bait for Men Friends and Got
Many Presents In Return.
T here was a sharp young lady in A t
lanta. who had 40 or more admirers.
E or each of these she bought slippers,
nil of the same pattern, which she had
an aged seam stress make up, says the
Augusta News. Meanwhile she kept
a pair for herself in the parlor, w here
she could have them on hand w hen
ever one of her lovers called.
Of
course, each young man asked for
whom she was making such p re tty slip
pers. She would reply, w ith a be
witching smile and half a wink : “Oh.
they're for a man friend of mine.”
Then each in fatuated youth w ent ofT

Some bought
clothes.
Some bought Jewelry. One
bought furniture. In return, the girl
bestowed upon each of them a pair of
slippers, worked by the seam stress and
footed by a Dutch shoemaker, a t an
average cost of $2.03 a pair. The
presents from her a dm irers averaged
$45 per man.
The pair the girl worked herself she
presented to a young dry goods clerk
In Augusta, to whom she was secretly
m arried. She a fte rw a rd sold her pres
ents and had enough to s ta rt house-
