le amok' acquaintance with
• ,::r1 a t eler,er on tt,a.st or without horses began in Fairbanks the first
season I owned him, when he was
a little more than two years old.
I was staying at tthe hospital wait-
ing for the winter. One of the min-
ing magnates had imported a sad-
dle horse, and as the mild days of
that charming autumn still deferred
the snow, he used to ride out past
the hospital every day for a canter:
The dog had learned to lift the
latch of the gate with his nose, and
when I put a wedge above the latch
for greater security, he learned
also to circumvent that precaution.
And whenever the horse and his
rider passed, N;tnook would open
the gate and lead the whole pack in
a noisy pursuit that changed the
canter to a run, and brought us
natural but mortifying remon-
strance. -
The rider had just passed and the
dogs had pursued as usual, and I
had rushed out and recalled them
with difficulty. Nanook I had by
the collar . I dragged him into the
yard, shut the gate; put in the
wedge, picked up a stick, and 'gave
him a • few sharp blows with it.
Then flinging him off, I said, "Now,
you stay in here I'll give you a
sound thrashing if you ,do . that
again !" The moment I loosed his
collar the dog went deliberately to
the gate, stood on his hind legs
while he pulled out the wedge with
his teeth, lifted the latch with his
nose, and swung open the gate.
Then, standing in the opening, he
turned round and said to me,
"Bowwowwow !" It was so pointed
that a passer-by, who had paused
to watch the proceedings, said to
me, "Well, you know now what he
thinks of you. That's the' dog-
gondest dog I ever saw !"

CLOSEST SHAVE ON RECORD
SYDNEY W1dIt:HT'S NARROW
-ESCAPE FRO IL D 11ATIT.
Las( its Balanec, reit Ten. Stories
and Evened With .i Few
SeratelleS,
There is a young Man in Sydney,
Australia; to -day --Sydney Wright,
a builder's laborer—who recently
experienced one of the inost re-
markable escapes from death ever
chronicled. He was fixing a -scaf-
fold on the tenth story of a very
lofty building in Bridge street,
Sydney, when he lost his balance
and went hurtling dawn tott'ard the
roadway far below. Everybody ex-
pected to see him dashed to atoms,
but by marvellous good fortune,'
:af-
ter falling 50 feet, he dropped into a
cluster of telephone wires, caught
hold of them, scrambled along to a
pole and slid down to the pave-
ment, says the Wide World Maga-
zine.
After the narrow escape he ac-
tually went back to his work, but
presently "eame over dizzy," and
accompanied by a p'ciliceman, 'walk-
ed to the -Sydney hospital... Here it
was found that, apart from a few
cuts and bruises' on legs, aims and
lined, arid a' general feeling of
shakiness., he was quite uninjured
and in no need of m'eclioal treat-
ment, In a very few days, in fact,
Wright was fit for work again.
This astonishing affair was fully
reported by the Sydney Evening
News, which interviewed Wright
at his hoane' in Great Buckingham
Street, Redfern, and other well-
known journals. Wright's own
story of his remarkable experience
is as follows:
"It was my fiest day on the job.
I'd been out of work for a month
—drifting round Sydney for jour
weeks looking for a billet—and on
the very day I got a start this busi-
ness happened

"I went to work first thing in the
morning. It was a lofty new build-
ing in Bridge Street. being erected
for Messrs. Birt & Co. I tackled
the job with a will, for it was quite
a change after being idle for so
long. In the afternoon I was put
on erecting scaffolds. I was up ten
stories—about 225 feet above the
footpath—+and before I got busy 'I
had to look down into the street.
I noticed the telephone 'wires that
later saved my life, and it occurred
to me, just in a casual sort of way,
that theymight come in handy if a
man happened to fall. I little
thought that before very long I
should be,daehed down headfirst to-
ward those same wires.
"Well, I was up on the scaffold,
with my back turned toward the
street and' had started to nail a
board onto an upright, when I rea-
lized that the post wasn't firm
enough. I took it, between rey
knees and was about to hammer at
it, when all- of a sudden the top of
the post .shifted outward and I lost
my balance. •
"I couldn't do anything to save
myself ; I just had to go over. For-
tunately, however, I kept my head.
I dropped my hammier and grabbed
at the post as a forlorn hope, but
it came with me, and the next in-
stant I felt myself going. -I was
on the outside edge of the scaffold,
and as I slipped back into space I
thought again of those telephone
wires far below.
"They offered a, bare chance of
life. I knew' that' if I dropped
straight down I should be "smashed
in pieces. But those wires might
break my fall.
Turned a Somersault.
"All this passed through my
mind in the very act of falling, and
as I toppled backward from the
scaffold I pushed off from the edge
with my toes in the hope of reach-
ing them. At -the same time I
twisted myself around so that. I
could see where 1 was going, and
hurled the post that I had been
clutching into the street. These
violent movements caused me to.
turn acomplete somersault in the
air, but I wags now looking where I
was going, and that contented me.
I wouldn't have liked to have drop-
ped down with my face toward. the
sky. I had a, sort of idea I could
pick out where to ail. You may
not believe it, but I had my wits
practically everything that was go-
ing on around me. I could see the
workmen on the building. I no-
ticed the people walking in the
streets and I " could hear them
about me all the time and knew
shouting out. '
"What did the fall feel like/ It'
was wonderful—glorious! I really
couldn't describe it ; it was such a
strange mixture of sensations. But,
.oddly enough, I wasn't afraid -=•not
in 'the, bast. Though I knew I was
travelling fast, the drop seemed to
take a ti`einendous time. Of course
it lasted• only a few seconds, hut it
seemed like an hour. •

time I' was dropping I reckoned I

hit the wires—I think with .my
head and :shoulders—and some of
them snapped under • my weight.
My head went right though them,
but my legs.c•aught, tangled, and in
a twinkling I got a hold with my
hands.
"Even then, however, 1 wasn't
out of the we/oda. 1 was frightened
of causing'a 'short circuit or some-
thing of the kind—I don't know
much about electricity—and 1
moved very carefully. The fellows
down below, wildly excited, yelled
to me to• stop where I was, but the
wires weren't comfortable enough,
and I thought I might fall into the
road. So. I scrambled along to the
post and slid down to the footpath,
"You should have seen • the fuss
they made of me! One of the boys
told me that 'the deviil always took
care of his own.' Maybe he was
right, but I wasn't worrying about
that just them. I felt all right, but
just a bit shaky.
"There was a huge crowd round
me in no. time, for hundreds of peo-
ple, it seems, had seen me fall, and
they came running from all direc-
tions. They were amazed to see
me alive and able to walk.
"I wasn't a bit sore, and after a
few minutes I went back to the
building. I climbed up to the scaf-
fold again and was going to start
my job, nee more when they made
me come in ; they said
I'd Done Enough for One Day. ,
Shortly, after that I came over
very dizzy. My limbs felt sore and
I had a sensation of sickness, so a
policeman went with me to the hos-
pital:
"They found some cuts and
bruises, but nothing calling for.
treatment, and they told me to go
home and rust.
"Curiously enough, niy accident
was practically foretold. On :the
Sunday night I was playing about
with a pack of cards at 'home, and
a friend of mine killed time by
telling ,my fortune. Being dark, I
was represented by the jack of
spades and ,almost every time the
cards were shuffled the jack showed
up with the ace of spades upside
down oil one side and the nine of
spades on th:e:other. That, said my
friend, was a sure sign of sickness
os death—ancl "the prophecy caane
very near proving true. I suppose
a pack of cards can't deal with
such things as telephone wires! 1
thought of the prophecy just be-
fore I fell." . ,
People with a superstitious turn
of mind will be interested to know
that Wright was bornwith a caul
over his face, and so, according to
an ancient belief very popular
among sailors, is immune from
death by accident. He has, twice
been nearly. drowned, but the fall
here described is .likely to remain
his closest shave.

ERIN'S VALIANT POLICEMENr„
Ireland. Is Proud of the Royal
Constabulary. •
In an article livhich appeared to
London Answers, September 20th,
1913,• it- Was foretold that, in the
event of war, the men of the Royal
Irish Constabulary could provide a
contingent for a•ctive service, This
statement has been. mere than real-
ized,
A short tine ago the inspector -
general, Colonel Sir Neville Cham-
berlain, issued a circular asking for
two• hundred volunteers for the
Irish Guards. In a few days two
thousand applieatiuns were receiv-
ed. As only young unmarried con-
stables were eligible, this meant
that practically every suitable man
yogic t•eered.
Without doubt, the Royal Irish
Constabularly is composed of the
very pick of the youth of Ireland.
It is a military force, first formed
in 1830 under the name of the Irish
Constabulary. In 1867 Queen Vic-
toria, conferred upon it the coveted
prefix "Royal," to show 'her ap-
preciation of the effective matiner
in which the Fenian rising was
quelled. ,
Before being appointed to sta-
tions recruits are given six months'
rigorous military training. They
are armed with rifles and sword
bayonets, and every constable must
secure a certificate of proficiency
in musketry.
In country districts the sergeant
keeps his men up to scratch by
daily drill in the barrack -yard,
There must be no laxity, for the
monthly or quarterly "furl -dress
parade" inspections of' the district
and county inspectors are always
searching in 'character. Occasional
Ivlorris-tube. practice keeps their
aim true.
The officers, as well •as the rank
and file of the force, have also a
wonderful spirit of sterling patriot-
ism. Numbers of them have been
granted commissions as captains in
Irish regiments.•
Then, again, ex -sergeants and
ex -head -constables, who were en-
joeeing their well-earned pensions,
enlisted in Kitchener's army as in-
structors. -
Ireland is proud of her soldier -
sons. but it •still prouder -of her
martial .policemen:.

Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills gently
unlock the secretions, clear away all
waste and effete matter from the system,
and give tone and vitality to ,the whole
intestinal tract.
They do this by :.ctiitg directly on the
liver, and making the bile pass through
the bowels instead of allowing it to get,
into the blood., and thus causing consti� °
potion, jaundice, catarrh of the stomach^
and similar troubles.
