ARTHUR'S BABY WALRUS c I Artliur's father was government ichool teacher for the Eskimo people ( who lived at Cape Prince of Wales, ' Alaska, lie was the only white boy in a village of 350 people. You might - think that he would bo very lonely, but 1 he was not. He found many interesting playmates among "the Eskimo children. 1 His favorites were Kituk and Omuock. ' These boys were cousins. Their fath- • era were hunters. The three playmates often talked of the time when they 1 would be men. And my! the walrus, whales and polar beapi they killed in J these day dreams of theirs! y They had built a small wa|on. To ( this wugon they hitohed four small dogs. Often they went spinning away up the beach to bring home a load of ( driftwood or to gather the clams washed in by a storm. One day as they were i driving along they heard a strange noise from over the sand piles that ^ lined the shore back from the beach. It was the strangest sound Arthur had ever heard. "Ouk, O-u-k, Ouk," it went. Arthur was frightened. He wanted to run away. He had forgotten all about , his plans to be a hunter. But Kituk aaid, "Wait; let's Bee." He ran to a tall ^ sand pile. When he reached the top he looked over. What he saw made him clap hi* hands and shout: "Ah-ne-ca! uba! uba! kullrmuck!" which all meant "Oh, my! look! look! hurry up!" The other two boys loat no time in , getting to the top. What they saw frightened Arthur more than ever. There , were some small ponds over there. In ( • one of them was the ugliest thing Ar- ( thur had evert seen. It was bigger than ; , • great big dog. Yes, bigger than a , half dosen dogs. It seemed to him that j the great pair of white teeth it had , were a foot long. All the time it was opening its mouth and saying, "Ouk, O-u-k. Ouk" as fast as it could. Arthur was going to run awav for , sure this time, but Kituk said: "Don't be afraid; it's only a baby I "A baby" Ar^ur exclaimed. "Yes, he's calling for his, mother.*" Arthur looked behind him as if afraid bis mother might come. "I don't think his mother will come," I said Kituk. "He's been lost in a storm and w aslied ashore. The herd has gone north and left him. Probably he flopped himself over into that pond." "lift's get him into our wagon anil I take him home with us," suggested Om- ' nock. j I Having gotten over his fright, Arthur j helped the boys load the baby. You ' ' would have thought he was a great ! baby if you had helped load him. lie ; was so heavy and so slippery they could j hardly get him on board at all. On the way home Arthur told the native boys about the Zoo lie had seen ! in his borne city once. They talki-d j about it for a long time and at la*t de- ! cided that when they were men they , ; would go all over the world and capture ! i wild animals. Then fli»y would have I , a Zoo of their own. j They built their pet a pen near the , schoolhouse. There wa= a little salt-j( water pond in the side of it. ' , Next day Arthur went up the beach a with the boys again. This time they , were toHmtifclams. They must have t clams to feed the habv. A walrus has t long tusks. He uses these for digging , clams. That's how he makes his living. I j They were nearly to the place where | , they found the new pet when they met ( an old Eskimo man. He was very old. , His garments were ragged. He seem- , ed extremely poor. He was saving: "An-neca! Uleeeuektuck cow -cow peInck !" "What is he saying?" Arthur asked. "He say* he has no food.">Kituk ex- j plained. The old man talked some more. As lie spoke the little Eskimo boys seemed ! troubled. "He says he found a young walrus on ; tie- beach aiid nut it over there in a j " little pond." Kituk said, slowly, after the old man had finished. "He left it t there while he went for "his neighbor's < dogteaiu. Now it is gone. He needed ( it for food. There is no food in hi* I house. It is a stormy time and he can- < not go hunting." ' i Now Eskimo boys are the most honest i boy* in the world. Arthur was. also a ' good boy. Even if the old man had not I been poor they wtmld not have kept what rightfully belonged to him. but tfrey wanted to keep the baby walrus. They did not want it to be killed for food. "And I have fifty cents." aaid Kituk. "and Ornnoek has thirty-five. That will buy him a aaek of flour and some baking powder." "Ask him if he will take that." aaid Arthur. The old man was very much pleased at the offer. He accepted it at onpe, and the bo vs. onre more happy, went on about their dam hunting. I! kept the boys busy getting clams and retching fish for their pet that sum-n-er H" *te as much as three pigs would. He grew so fast that his firat pen was hardly large enough for him to Hop about in The only time he said "Ouk. O-u-k. Ouk" was when be aaw |

1 of the boys coming with Cah or clams. One day a man came off the steamer , Corwin- Her went right to see the baby i walrus. < "I guess we won't sell him," said i Arthur. "He's part of our zoo. Well < have more by and by." The man laughed. "Well, I must say | he is a good start. But what will you j do with him in winter?" I The boys had not thought of that. There would be no fish or clams when , winter came. • i .'Til tell you what 111 do, boya. I'll , give you an even hundred for him." i The boys opened their eyes. | "You see, boys," he went on, "I want : for our zoo in Cincinnati. Sonic , time you can come and see him there." ( The bargain was soon closed and the , ran away to have their money di- , vided. | j "Well, see here," said Arthur's father ; ; "there are three boys and twenty five- ; dollar bills. How am I going to divide , that?" The boys stood there puzzled for a i long time. i "Oh, I have it!" Arthur cried at last, ' "We'll give some to the old man." i | "And who is the old man?" his father < asked, puzzled. i The boys then told of the old amn's part in the affair. "Why yeas," said Arthur's father. I : think that would, be a good thing to do. Just make him one of the company. All : share alike." They all agreed on that, and it was a very happy trio of boys who returned ; I from taking the money to the pojr oH ■nan's destitute imrie. I believe the ( I part they gave to him dit thou; more | good than the part they kept. I am sure ' it did. It always docs.— Roy J. Snell. ' Congregationalist.

DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH ~ THE POULTRY MARKET The rise in price of poultry of all kinds which is reported to have taken place in various States can not, in the opinion of experts in the Department of Agriculbe in any way attributed to the outbreak of the foot-and-mouth disease. This disease does not affect poultry at all, and the Federal quarantines of varStates — 14 in all— now lay no emupoa shipment* of poultry. It is true that when a case of footand mouth disease is found upon a farm is absolutely quarantined by the State or local authorities. No produce of any sort can leave it, the owner is not even permitted to drive his horses on the - public highway, and in some cases his ' children are not allowed to go to school until the exposed stock have been done away with and the entire premises thor- I oughly disinfected. Since the disease, t moreover, is readily communicated from fara to farm by cats, dogs, poultry, and I human beings, the local authorities ex- ' crcise their own discretion in determining what restrictions should be placed npon shipments of produce from the area the immediate vicinity of the infected . . farm. These areas are so limited in extent. however, that the amount of poul1 try that may thus be prevented from reaching the market is an inappreciable i percentage of the total supply. Poultry from the uninfected areas' in the vari ious quarantined States can be moved freely without the least danger of spreading the disease or of injuring the health of the consumer.
