The otters, pulling in concert, plunged again in- to the lake, which at once disappear- ed under a black cloud Straightway a terrible storm arose through which the voice of Tamanous screamed tauntingly. Blackness eclos- ed around him The din was hore rible. Terrified, he threw back into the bowl behind him five strings of hiaqua to propitiate Tamanous, and there followed a momentary lull, during which he started homeward. But immediately the storm burst again with roarings like ten thou- sand bears Nothing could be done but to throw back more "hiaqua. Following each sacrifice came another luil, followed In turn by more terrible outbreaks. And so, string by string, he parted with all his gains. Then he sank to the ground insensible. When he awoke he lay under an arbutus tree in a meadow of camas, He was shockingly stiff and every movement pained him. But he man- aged to gather and sinoke some dry arbutus léaves and eat a few camas bulbs. He was astonished to find his hair very long and matted, and him- self bent and feeble, "Tamanous, he muttered Nevertheless, he was calm and happy. Strangely he did not regret. his lost strings of hiaqua, Fear was gone and his heart was fill- ed with love, Slowly and Painfully he made his way home, Everything was strange- ly altered. Ancient trees grew where shrubs had grown four days before, Cedars under whose shade he used to sleep lay rotting on the ground. Where his lodge had stood now he Saw a new and handsome lodge, and esd dia out of it came a very old, decrepit squaw, who, nevertheless, through her wrinkles, had a look that seemed strangely familar to him. Her shoulders were hung thick with hizqua strings. She bent over a pot of boiling salmon and crooned: cessful! "My old man has gone, gone, gone, My old man to Tacouma has gone. To hunt the elk he went long ago.

War's Aftermath as Found In the Newspapers. . When an Englishman wishes 'focus public attenti upon pet schemes; when he w to start a ew religion or propagate an old one: when he wants money or a new collie ip, he adver Ss in the columns of his favorite newspaper. There is a wealth of human interest in those ad- vertising columns of the great British dailies None of the usual British reticence is there. The lady of qual- ty and the charwoman, 'the jobless ind the wealthy, all unite in the ef- fort to gain the public eve and ear. House-hunting also, Is done hrough the advertising columns. There is more than a dash of the 'anadian verbal comments on May 1, visible in some of the efforts to atiract attention The following is a typical example: Un-British cruelty --- No medium- size houses to let, outskirts London, for invalid, disabled, or war-strained gentie-born. Did all considerate landlords die on Aug. 4, 1914? will noble survivors (if any) kindly re- ply, with particulars. "Invalid," Box F, 141, the Times. The propaganda "ad" is also coms mon Religious subjects occur fre- quently, and the opponents of vivi- section also lose no opportunity to keep their hobby before the public, An example of the religious appeal follows: "What shall it profit a nation it it win a great war and lose its own soul? Send 1%d for a copy of a leaflet bearing this title to A. E. Mc- Adam, 45 Leepark, S.¥. 3." Every housemaid airs aspirations to ladyship. In her search nt she is never a "wo- F"" wishes to undertake 2 "post" as "Cook general' and she volunteers the rather surprising in- formation that she is thoroughly "do- mesticated." For this work she "re- quires' wages of £35 to £40 or, ap- proximately, $144 to $180 for the year, Householders in the best parts of London, on the other hand, reveal to the world the innermost secrets of their mendge. One may readily ascertain how many maids and men- Servants are maintained, the number of appetites that must be satisfied, the frequency of guests and similar matters. The English servant is also cautious to a degree, for many pros. pective employers take pains to fore- warn applicants that there are "no knives or boots," and often that there are no coal fires, that parlor and scullery maids are kept and that charwomen are « mployed twice week- ly, ete. References. afe very much more important than in America Prac- | ically no position is open except to those who cah furnish "characters." It is the same whether the place de- mands a man with a salary of many hundreds or a shopgirl with a guinea a week. Until the expiration of the war the demand for "Lady Shorthand- Typists" was heavy and a system of yearly or half-yearly bonuses was an- stituted. The requirements would be extraordinary in this country, and particularly at the low wages of $13.50 in the following offer: 'Merchant's Office -- Shorthand | typist (lady) required in merchant's office. Permanent position. French, | Spanish essential. Salary £3 week; | bonus half-yearly. Hours 9.30 to 6, Wire, stating age, experience, speeds, | to Pim, 19, Bury Street, E.C. 3." For lesser accomplishments { rate falls to £2 and £2 10s Another aftermath of the war is visible in the many appeals for aid. The personal columns often reveal the tragedies of the Flanders Field or of the lone watches in the North Sea, or of the "spurlos versenkt" pol- icy. There are the minor tragedies of the demobilized and crippled sol- dier who cannot find employment, of { the mien who are no longer fit for their trades, and of many others. There are also the gloomy, despair- ing appeals such as this one: "Lady, with two young children j1eft penniless under most tragic cir. cumstances, implores help. Particu- lars and references. Box G 26, the | Times." Another influence of the war is ap- parent in a great many "ads ™ In wo or three inches of a column it is possible to find mén who wish to £0 to South Angola or Demerara or Néw South Wales, and the establish- ed colonies like India and South Af. rica also furnish much desired fields, These efforts to obtain employment | reflect the industrial status of the mother country at this time, because most of those men who wish to emi- grate are discharged officers with re- cords of capable and efficient service, the class of men that seldom has dit- ficulty in finding employment at home. -- Measuring the Earth, An effort is being made to induce the Commonwealth and its six states | to combine to provide £3,000 for | measuring the earth, that is, for ob- | taining an accurate determination of | Australian longitude by means of { wireless signals sent out from Aden {and Darien (Panama) New South Wales, and Greenwich.

The demands of the men who preserve law and order were admits ted at time to be just, and the only point of difference that the com- mittee failed to settle satisfactorily to the police is the question of union recognition. This possibly may be overcome by a Government commit- tee that will deai with all claims or grievances, on which: the men will have representation The new pay scale, which starts at $17.50 a week for junior men, represents an increase of more than $10, compared with pre-war wages. For this small remuneration the policeman was supposed to be infall- ible, and any slight lapse met with sharp punishment. He was appointed only after he had passed exar tions that would puzzle many a uni- versity graduate. In London the policeman is expected to be a diree- tory and more or less an encyclo pedia of information. His training lasts six month: during which he attends an instruction class nd learns all the beats of the ¢ i At school he is taught, amon er things, to be a sound lawyer of a medical man, a statesman a diplomat, a keen observer cool, impartial witness, a boxer and a strategist, a fluent reader, a guid to London, a peacemaker, at RX linguist, and always to t Smartly, clean and a eredit force On always to apply his knowledge aceur- ately to the needs of moment He must be able to decide offhand for what offences he may make an arrest and those that have to be dealt with only by summons Everything he does is the subject of a written report, even little things like a ride on a public vehicle while on duty have to be reported. If he spends only two cents in carfare, before he can collect this sum he must report the number of the ticket It7he should make a mistake re- gardiag the licence number of an of- fending driver and summons the the a and and a the si the wrong man, he has to pay the cost | of the summons and the éxpenses of the victim of his mistake In spite of the low pay and the amount of responsibility; the London policeman is certainly an advantage to the city Every citizen uses him as a directory. He is "cadi' to the rougher elements, almoner to the poor, but a terror to the cadger and friend to the children and old people. As 3 missionary he has saved hun- dreds of youngsters from getting be fore the children's court and thon- sands of older citizens from their folly, and all for a wage that up to now has been very little above that of an unskilled laborer. Golf of Lowly Origin. If tennis has a roygl lineage, goif, which was later regarded as a rich man's game, had most plebian begin- nings, writes I. R. Hildehand, in the National Geographic Magazine .Con- trary to a widespread belief, it seems not to have originated in Scotland, but in northern Europe. Apparently It was first played on ice, being one of the winter sports adapted to the physical geography of the Low Coun- tries. Even in the north, though, it evolved to a terra firm stage, as in- dicated by a sketch in a book illum. inated at Bruges, which shows three players, wach with a ball and one clnb, playing on turf By the fifteen century golf had at- | tained such vogue in Scotland that reels he must be ready, Nervous Women Nothing is so good for you as Yiwol Why drag around weak, tired and nervous?
