ALASKA AS A WILD ANIMAL
RESORT
When you get interested in Al
aska, it is amazing the number and
variety of subjects that that won
derful territory unfolds for you.
Uncle Sam is going to build a
railroad up there right awav. Does
that railroad mean that the fate
o• tts buffalo on our western plains
w'll overtake the great herds of
cariKou, moose and .doer in Alas
ka?
Alaska is one vast game resori,
perhaps the greatest in the world j
today. Moose, caribou, deer, moun
tain, sheep, mountain goat, walrus,
and uolar, grizzly, black and glacier
bears besides a vast variety of water
fowl, shore birds and upland game
birds inhabit this territory of varied
climate, broad rivers, innumerable
lakes, deey forests and chains of
lofty mountains. But already the
caribou have been restricted to 1<^»
than half of the territory over
which they formerly ranged, and
Tailed States government officials
anticipate that there will be enor
mous destruction of game to furn
ish food for the gangs who will be
at work on the government rail
road.
The Alaskan moose is the largest
existing lajid mammal iu America,
an • the largest member of the deer
to tio. Moose are found all
through the timbered parts of Al
aska, except iu the southeast coast
region.
Caribou inhabit the treeless parts
of Alaska, including the bare moun
taiu ridgts of the interior and the
open rolling tundras of the coast
(grass plains underlaid with ice
winter and summer).
.uountain sheep and mountain
S<»t3 are abundant, and while only
one v-'riety of deer, the so-called
"Sitka deer' is found, and this only
iu the "panhandle"' country in
Southeastern Alaska, they are very
abundant there.
As to bears, Alaska is without
rival in number and variety, there
being no fewer than 13 kinds, of
four general types, the brown, the
grizzlies, the black and the polar
bears. The brown bears are most
numerous and most imj)ortant. They
ere of huge size—much larger than
the grizzlies and others, except the
polar bears.
Congress has enacted fairly good
game laws for Alaska, but in a
countr* of such vast extent enforce
ment of the lap- is difficult. The
law is liberal to natives, miners
and explorers, who are permitted to J

Masked Musicians.
The Shakuhachi I'layers of Japnn
arc a privileged class of Itinerant iuu
slclons. Their instrument, a Uiml of
reed oboe. enjoys what Is perhaps a
unique distinction. It having been
adopted as a unit of measurement, a
sixth of n sen. or about two feet. A
peculiar headdress, something like an
immense peach basket hat, serves as
i a cool variety of mask, permitting the
wearer to see without being seen—a de

slrous of publicity. It also serves as a
further distinctive feature of this class
of musician to those who do not read

in frout of each player.—Wide World.

"Yes." was the reply, "by his practice

bookkeeping that would disgrace a pea
nut stand. Here's a statement from
tbe Hamsuekett Mills, and It shows a
debit balance of $1,100 what we owe
them. Miss Cohen's figures Is $1,142."
"That's In our favor already," Abe
replied. "The nauisuckett people
must be wrong, Mawruss."
"No, they ain't, Abe," Morris said
"It's Miss Cohen's mistake."
"Mistake!" Abe exclaimed. "When
it's in our favor, Mawruss, it ain't no
mistake!"
"It's a mistake anyhow, no matter In
whose favor it is," said Morris. "Miss
Cohen's footing was wrong. She gets
carelesser every day."
"I'm surprised to hear you that yon
should talk that way, Mawruss," Abe
| rejoined. "Miss Cohen's been with us
i for Ave years, and we ain't lost noth
ing by her, neither. You know as well
as I do, Mawruss. her uncle, Mas
Cohen, is a good customer of oura.
Only last week he bought of us a big
bill of goods, MnwruBS."
"Just the same, Abe," Morris went
on. "if wo get a bright young man In
there Instead of Miss Cohan It would
be a big Improvement We ought to
get some one In there what can man
age a double entry and can run a card

Abe puffed vigorously at his cigar.

As if to clinch the matter before his
partner could retract this somewhat
grudging consent, Morris Perlmutter
stalked out of the sample room and
made resolutely for the glass Inclosed

and he wants you should duplicate

Morris stopped short This was some
thing be bad not foreseen, and all bis
well formulated plans for the Bring of
Miss Cohen were shattered at onc-e.
"OhH he said lamely. "Thank you.
Miss Coben. Ill make a memorandum
of It"
He went orer to tbe commercial
agency book and scanned three or four
pages with an unseeing eye Then be
repaired to the sample room, where
Abe sat finishing his cigar.
"Well. Mowruss," satil Abe, his face
wreathed In a malicious grin, "you
made a Quick Job of it"
Morris scowled.

Abe puffed slowly before replying.

He presented so brllllnnt a picture
that Miss Cohen was drawn from her

Immediately conceived a brillant Idea.
"Ike," he said when Abe had com

had left them alone together, "a young

Ike was noncommittal
"Sure, Mawruss," he replied. "Every

"I'm glad you look at it so sensl
