HIS WANTS EASILY SUPPLIED
Eskimos Have No Hankering After
Things Which Other Peoples Look
Upon as Necessaries
Without tea, coffee, sugar or to
bacco, nnd with but few vegetables, the
Eskimo of Greenland finds life pleas
ant and thinks his homeland one of
the most desirable in tho world. The
few who have visited Denmark think
the Danes are to bo pitied, says Roger
Pocock, In tho Wide World Magazine.
The Eskimo's needs are few, nnd these
his arctic home supply In abundance.
In filling these the Greenland seal Is
the most Important factor. Its Inter
nal organs are almost Identical with
those of a sheep, and its meat is a fat,
streaky mutton. The skin makes hairy
breeches for men, women and chil
dren, and with the linlr removed and
properly oiled, makes soft-soled, wa
terproof footgear. From It also Is
mnde the hunter's shirt, the summer
tent, the womun's boat, the hunter's
canoe and the harness for tho dog
team.
Winter clothes are made from the
fur of the fox, dog nnd bear. Drift
wood, always plentiful on these rocky
shores, furnishes roof beams, tent
poles, canoo frames, harpoons for seal
ing, and lance shafts for hunting wal
rus, bear and reindeer. Lamps nre
made from hollowed rocks and knives
from sharp stones. Other things nre
considered luxuries.

RUBBERS.

(Copyright. 1920, Western f4cwpaper Union.)
Irrationally Jealous, piqued, angry nt
pretty Innocent Doris Blake, mnd nt
himself nnd feeling resentful toward
the world nt large, Cyril Vnnco lifted
his lmt resentfully us ho passed tho
home of Miss Ophelia Blinn.
It was also the home of that lady's
udoptcd niece, Doris, nnd there the
cankering anxiety rested. She and
Vance had been something more than
menus lur over n yenr, uc nuu ueuu .
pretty exclusively In her company, and
he had llrod up very forcibly when a (
close friend remarked to him :
"I see that Rutgers fellow has
broken luto tho good graces of tho j
Makes." I
'That Rutgers follow" was a dash
ing young man who had come to tho
town a week previous.' He was look-.
lng for a fnctory site, he gave It out, l
and had plenty of money, good clothes.
"All Hash and glitter," was the way
Vance set him down, and the next day
when Rutgers dashed by In nn auto
mobile In company with Miss Ophelia
and her pretty niece, there could bo
but ono construction to the present
ment. 1
Doris was, of course, the attraction,
for Miss Blake was a confirmed eld
mnid. Vtinco paid no attention to a
casual suggestion he overheard that us ,
Miss Blake owned considerable prop-'
erty about town the alleged factory
representative might bo negotiating
with her for building site. ;
And now, as Vancu observed tho
lady in question seated on the porch
with Rutgers and her niece, he paid no
attention to a pleading, Inviting ex
presslon upon the face of Doris. j
"I'll drop her If she Is encouraging
that braggart fop !" soliloquized Vance
hotly, but at dusk tho ensuing eve
ning strolled past the Bluko home, se
cretly hoping thn't Doris would ap
pear. Victor, his faithful dog, ran up
on the porch as If reminding the
young man of his many past visits,
but Vnnco kept on. Beside tho door
was a pair of rubbers, man's size, and
within the lighted room Vance caught
sight of his fancied rival.
He whistled to tho dog and strode
on, never noticing that the animal car
ried something between fils teeth until
J hey came under a lamp post.
"Here, what have you got?" chal
lenged .Vance, and as Victor laid a
rubbetrnt his feet Vance picked It up.
At once he comprehended that It was
one of those he hud noticed on the
Blake porch. As he turned it over he
observed casually a deep brownish
stain where tho Instep curved. He
wus debating If he should repass the
house and restore the rubber to its
companion when he was conscious that
a keen-eyed man wus at his side Inter
estedly regarding the filched rubber.
"Yours?" ho Insinuated.
"No," retorted Vance curtly. "My
dog took It from u porch down the
street."
"Where which porch?" pursued
the stranger.
"Second house back, Why do you
ask?" demanded Vance suspiciously.
The man mumbled something about
being nn Inquisitive sort of n fellow
and as Vnnco turned nround nnd re
traced his steps Hung the rubber over
the fence of the Bluko homo. The
stranger watched Vnnco closely and
then disappeared In the darkness.
Later, through a cautious detour, ho
reached the Blake, home, glided up to
the porch nnd carried nwuy both rub
bers and chuckled In a pleased though
sinister way.
The town had been greatly stirred
up two days previous by the announce
ment that the great tannery at the
edge of tho town had been visited tho
night previous, Its olllce broken Into
nnd n small fortune In cash and Lib
arty bonds secured from Its safe. Of
ficers from the county sent hud been
sent for nnu Vance, thinking Inter of
the Inquisitive stranger, wondered If
he was not some detective attempting
to ferret out the perpetrators of the
burglary.
It was the next morning that Vnnco
came face to face with Doris turning
n corner. Ho flushed with some em
barrassment and she paled as chough
under a strain of some fervid emotion.
"You have not been to the house
lately, Cyril," she spo!:e In n subdued
half reproachful tono.
"You seem to hnvo plenty of com
puny," retorted Vnnco nnd then was
nshnmed of himself, for the quick tears
came Into those gentle eyes.
"Yen menu this Bryce Rutgers," said
Doris. "It Is of him I have wished to
speuk to you all nlong. Oh, Cyril, ho
bus mnde nn Impression on Aunt
Ophelln nnd I am nearly dlstrncted. I
know he Is nfter the property nnd thnt
he Is not the kind of a mnn who means
what he says. Can you not do some
thing to save poor sentimental Auut
Ophelia?"
At that moment tho mysterious mnn
of tho evening previous camo into
sight. He looked Invitingly nt Vance
nnd then beckoned to htm,
"Those rubbers belonged to that
Rutgers fellow," ho snld. "1 owe n
successful enso to you. The mlnuto I
snw the red marks of the hemlock pit
at tho tannery I know tho fellow whs
the mnn I was after. I nabbed him
and most of tho plunder. I have sent
him to tho county seat In, handcuffs."
Aunt Ophelia took tlte dissipation
of her fond single-life romance rnftier '
hard, but only for n time. Then she '
settled down to making the reunited
lovers happy.
APOLOGIES TO BR'ER RABBIT
Field Mouse, Not Bunny, Is Anathema
tized Glrdlcr of Trees, Accordlnfl
to Eastern Expert.
An ofllclnl of the state fish nntrgnmo
comnilsslon Informs us thnt wo nre un
just to the rnhblt In ascribing to him
nil the girdling of fruit trees which' has
been going on in these parts lately. Our
Informant says, observes a writer In
tho Ohio State Journal, thnt the field
mouse is responsible for more than CO
per cent of this damage nnd we hasten
to tender our sincere apologies to tho
rnhblt, whose feelings we would not
hurt for tho world, and ure quick to
glvo the guilty field mouse his Just
share of censure.
Field mice, it seems Imvc the Inde
fenslblo habit of burrowing among the
roots of small fruit trees In the fall,
hollowing out n wnrm place, us field
mice estimate warmth, nnd spending
tho winter there. When they get hun
gry and nothing else Is available, they
shin up n little way nnd cat the ark
of the tree cunningly making tooth
marks almost exnetly like rabbits' und
thus throwing editors .and other ex
perts off tho scent. Tho rabbits are
not whollj without sin, but n 40 per
cent sinner averages up fairly well
with the rest of us. Moreover, tho
rabbit may easily bo foiled In his
Inpses from gruce by placing a piece of
tar paper about two feet in bolghf, or
a piece of wh o netting around the base
of each young fruit tree. Perhaps this
expedient, like other prohibitory meas
ures, does not build character In the
rabbit, but It does in the orchurdist.
Nothing, we understand, can be done
nbout the Held mice unless one stays
at the foot of the tree nnd -catches
them. They are lost In sin.
Time's Chancs In Dlsbee.
Blsbee, Ariz., where Is now heard
tho honk of the modern automobile,
the tick of wrist watches and the wall
of silk hose of all- colors extending
over the tops of $10 shoes, was entire
ly different 10; yenrs ago. reminisce a
writer in the Review of Blsbee. Then
the hard-working miner had to fstrug
gle for hours to get a. seat at u poker
table or a "look In" at a faro game.
Main street wus once one of the live
liest thoroughfares In the western
hemisphere, saloons, gilded nnd other
wise, having been the honored business
enterprises which lined both sides of
the street. If nnybody had predicted
that a street railway would at some
future time run through tho center of
Main street, or that it would sorao
day become as dry nnd arid us tho
Sahara and Gobi deserts, ho would Im
modlntoly have been taken before a
lunncy cominlsslon.,
Furze.
Cnn you conceive any covering fit
ter for tho hills of the sun Itself than
this mngnluconU furze, as It appears
In Euglnnd, robing tho heaths nnd
commons nil over tho country? It
Is n golden undulation, n foreground,
and from some points of view n mid
dle distance, fit to make tho richest
painter despair, a veritable field of
cloth of gold. Morning, vhen tho
dawn Is of n fineness to match, must
look beauty for benuty on It. Sun
set Is glory. The gold goes mnrch
Ing nwny In the distance toward tho
dnrk trees; like the rich evening of a
poetic life. No wonder Llnnneurt,
when ho came to England and first
beheld this shrub In bloom, fell on
his knees nnd thanked God. Leigh
Hunt.
Immigrants' Literary Test.
Immigrants subject to the literary
test ut Ellis Island now have to rend
thirty or forty words, from tho
Psalms, In any bmsunge they prefer.
Immigration Inspectors aro equipped
with cards In nil languages, with
verses from tho Psalms printed-on
them. All types of script aro repre
sentedGerman, Arabic, Hebrew,
Japanese, Russian nnd so on, except;
Chinese, for that nntlonnllty Is not
permitted to ImmlKrnte. Lest nny
alien learn purrotllko tho verse of tho
Psnlm that n friend In this country
hud to read, the Inspectors have nt
least forty different verses In each
language, one verse to n card.
GERMS ON POSTAGE STAMPS
Physicians Have Found Microbes of
Disease on Almost Every Speci
men They Examined.
Drs. J. Diner and G. Ilorstman
bought postage stamps at 50 different
places und tested them for the ml
crobos of disease. They report t
the Medical Times thnt every stamp
was infected, and it appenred to make
no difference whether they were from
a drawer or cash register or exposed
on a desk.
Among the germs they found were
such deadly ones as colon bacilli,
staphylococci, streptococci, pneumo
coccl and diphtherln bacilli. The edi
tor of American Medicine comments
that If postage stamps were ns give
a source of Infection ns these facts
might seem to Indicate, a very large
part of the population would bo suffer
ing from Infection, ns almost every
body Is In the hublt of licking stumps.
The fact Is that an examination of the
mouths, noses and throats of almost
all of us will reavcal the presence of
some or all of these germs at any
time.
However, licking postage stumps Is
a dirty habit and ono that Is quite
easy to acquire.
