'An Eskimo arrow of walrus ivory found imbedded deep in the breast of a Canadian gray goose is on ex hibition in a gun store at Spokane. The goose was shot a few days ago by John Cochran near Liberty lake. As he picked up the big honker , weighing fourteen pounds , he was surprised to see a little piece of ivory sticking out from its breast for two inches. .With difficulty he pulled it out , for the flc'sh had grown around the object. Then he saw that it was an arrow eight inches long and about as thick as a lead pencil. The carv ings on the stem where it was tied to the arrow stick are still visible. Xo arrow of the sort was ever seen heretofore. The bird cvident- h * carried it thousands upon thou sands of miles from the far north , where it was shot by some Eskimo. Spokane Spokesman-Review. A Runaway Locomotive. About ten years ago I called upon Chauncey M. Depew at his home , 21 West Fifty-fourth street , writes Tip in the Xcw York Press. He was at dinner , and in that friendly way of his sent word that he would be up in two minutes ; I must make myself at home , etc. As it was a professional call and I was seeking an interview I bided my time. On the mantelpiece in the reception room was a diminu tive locomotive , which I . investi gated. It appeared to be a model o one of the oSTew York Central fli ers , but I had no idea that the thing had motion. We ot down on tho floor together , and suddenly it start ed oil at a mile a minute ( more or less ) , tearing along the hall with me after it. The blamed little thing ran straight into the dining room and was caught under the table by Mr. Depcw himself. Will Shorten His Signature. Stress of business and the dearth of time will lead to a change in President Roosevelt's signature. He has always been accustomed to write j | cut his lirst name in full , but he j ! finds that it will save him about 50 per cent of time and trouble to make ( it simply T. Roosevelt. Where a man ( has to sign his name about 1,000 times a day , it makes a big differ ence. There is a man in the office of the auditor for the postoffice de partment who , it is said , owes his appointment largely to the fact that his signature contains but five let ters. He is Second Deputy Auditor IT. Chew. He docs little but sign his name , and he does that for about eight hours a day steadily. ADDITIONAL LOCAL ( Jr. W.
