H WHIG THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG. ~ HUMOR PLAY WORK . ONE REEL YARNS THE HOUSE IN THE HOLLow The Hilary house lay in a little hol- low. In the summer it was a pretty place, in the cup of the rolling hills, but in the winter all the winds that blew seemed to 'howl around it, and when the snow flurries came they filled the hollow like whipped cream in a mixing bowl. One late January day the red sun was sinking when a traveler drove up to the house. Hig mud-stained, be- draggled clothes showed that he ridden fast and far, Mr. Hilary, proprietor of Hilary House, put the traveler's tired horse in the barn, while Mrs, Hilary burried to fix a het Supper, "It's a bad time to be out," sald Mrs. Hilary, addressing the newcom- or. as she broughtdin a steaming dish.

Up in the ice country in the early spring many varieties of fish come to the shore from the deep water where they have wintered. At. this time the Eskimo boys cut holes in the ice and spend many shours sitting beside them with their hooks and lines." "What kind of poles do they use?' "It's a short pole to which is at- tached a line made of whalebone or perhaps the quills of a large water fowl. This makes a strong, flexible ] |line. Near the bottom of the line is a stones anchor and below this are the hooks. The hooks are set in ivory shanks. The shining shanks serve as lures. The line is kept In motion all the time, and the fish are attracted by the moving ivory, They come closer to examine the flashing, shining thing, and then they are caught on the big hooks. "And then," concluded Mrs. Stan- ford, "the Eskimo family has fresn fish for dinner." ------ TO-DAY'S-PUZZLE Each letter of a well-known saying has been numbered.
