v late Seattle paper tells the story of
Dockstader's claims this way: J
"Although known to very few peo
ple the fact is that credit for the pref

craze, is due it directly to Lew Dock
itsder. who in his travels among the
Northern ludians, on one of his many
shooting trips in Can* la, was struck
with 'he pecu.i rity of the emblem. >
He brought numerous ludian souvenirs !

Dominated by a Woman, j
f Original. 1
Women often dominate men whosa
wills are strou^er than t Loirs. They
have different ways of accomplishing
this, but they are all of the same genus
?an advantage of sex.
We of the police are constantly sub
jected to this domination of women.
We therefore often appear to err in
Judgment or In ordinary caution, while
we err iu neither, being simply mas
tered by the woman and forced to do
her bidding. 1 was once sent with a
single assistant to go and make an
arrest. The offender was :i woman who
lived iu luxury and ivliiieiueut. Of
course we weut in plain clothes. Leav

Then In a twinkling ho: uniier cluing

j } How He Put Her
j \ Under an Obligation. j>
[Original.]
Didn't 1 itfver tell y' how I got
Sniry? No? Well, I tuk a heap o' pride
iu It Rt first, but after awhile some
how It didn't seem that I was as cute
:is I thought 1 was. and as the years
I :ive gone by sometimes I think I tuk
(i lot o' unnecessary trouble.
Sniry was popular with everybody.
The women llketl her better 'u the
men. and that's saylu' a good deal for
a gal. She had a way o' humorin' peo
ple. never ruunln' up agin' their preju
dices and all that sort o' thing. She
never looked sour. l)u the contrary,
her face wore a perpetual smile. They
| -aid she was cute.
There was youug men that was tine
lookln' who was ambitious to gtt Salry,
but somehow she didn't seem to fancy
none on 'em, aud so I arg.ved that If
they wasn't line enough for her what
was the use of a redheaded, freckled
feller like me puttln" In a claim. We
was all about alike so far as worldly
Koods was concerned, none of us havln'
mi." thing to speak of. In fact, we
was all at an age when we was lookln'
out for good looks. That belu' the case.
I tiadu't no show at all, for 1 was the
homeliest young man In the town.
But I got Salry, all the same, and
I'm a-goln' to tell you how I did It. 1
wasn't nobody's fool, you see. If I was
homely. The way I did It was by put
tin' her under an obligation. One day
I said to her. "Miss Baker "? her name
was Baker before 1 married her? "Miss
Baker, why don't y' git married?"
"Mr. Tucker," she said, "there hain't
no one for me to marry."
"What's the matter with these fel
lers that's goln' with you?" I asked.
"Oh, none o' these young men ud
marry me." she said. "We've growed
up together. I'eople that grow up to
get her don't do much marryln'. They're"
too used to each other. The men all go
off and marry girls from somewhere
else. None of 'em here ud look at me."
Now. I knowed better than that.
There was two on 'em dylu' for her.
Hut I wasn't no 9lch fool as to tell her
It I did. where'd I come In? So I
didn't say nothlo' but that 1 thought
ihc'd ought to git married; that she'd
be happier married, aud It would be
better for her to have some one to
leuu ou when her father passed out
Then she said maybe 1 could And her
a husband. This staggered me a little,
?onslderlu" 1 wauted her myself, but I '
said I'd try. Theu she told me she'd '
like me to attend to the matter at onct.
seein' she was glttln' ou. and If I sue
ceeded she'd consider me the dearest
friend she ever had In her life.
I saw the advantage o" puttln' her
under an obligation. But what good
would it do nte to put her under that
kind of an obligation? It would be like
i trr-ln" to lift myself up In a basket
! Nevertheless I did It, and I've always
considered It a case of real onseltlsh
ness. I found a widower about forty
ive years old who wauted some one to
take care of his seven motherless chll
dreu. 1 told him about Salry-how
sheM like to get married and what a
good stepmother she'd make After
awhile 1 succeeded In awakenln' an
Interest In his breast, and It ended In
my taking blm to see Salry. She was
as |K>Iltc to him as a basket o' chips,
seeuiiu' to take to him from the start.
She oast a grateful glance at me, and
I knowed she appreciated what I'd
done for her.
I couldn't quite feel that I was act
in' honest by her, for, as 1 was savin'.
I knowed at least two fellers far bet
tor matches than the widower that
wauted her, and I'd orter gone to one
on 'em and told blm o' the chance.
But somehow 1 couldn't. I've never
been able to tell JUt why 1 put up the
widower Instead. I leave It to them
fellers In colleges who study psyebol
o.:y aud that sort o' thing.
Well, the widower called regular
once a month on Salry. He was
j watchiu' her to see If she'd make a
good wife for himself aud a good
I mother to his children. Them widow
[ ers, huvin' hud a lot o' experience,
know jist what's required. From oh
solvation aud what people said he
soon learned that Salry was oue of a
thousand and Just the one he wanted.
1 One evening I went to see Salry to
!:nd out how she was glttlu' aloug with
j the widower. She told me she had a
; letter from him that day propositi'
marriage. He said owln' to his family
it must be a sort o' business affair
1 Salry was the gratefulest girl you
I ever saw In your life. She tuk hold o'
my bony baud with freckles spottlu"
the back? hers was small and white
aud soft -aud looked up Into my eyes
with slch an expression as I never see
there before, and she said, said she:
"This Is the beautlfulest thing you've !
done for me I ever heard of. l'ou've
put me under an everlastln" obligation.
Here was I with no one to marry me,
md you come along and Jtst lifted me
out o' the slough o' despond. I'm so
grateful that I want to do 9ometbln'
real ulce to show you how grateful I
am. Now, 1 want you to tell me some
thiu' you want me to do most of any
thing. Speak right out and don't be
afraid, no matter how onrea9onable It
seems."
| "There's nothin' you can do for me,
I said kirnl o' melancholy like.
"Nothin' I can do for you? Isn't
there somethln' you want me to do for
you i"
"Yes, there's somethln' I'd like you
to do for me a heap, but that's out o'
the question."
"Tell me what It Is," she scld, still
tioldta' on to my hand and glvln' It a
soft squeeze.
"Well. I'd ruther have you marry me
than the widower."
Sbe Jlst sprung Into my arms. After
all. I'm rather proud o' the way I man
aged it. F. A. M1TCHEI.
