Then they killed six more and ate
them. A little later the herder went
to look after his deer and found seven
<•; them gone.
He saw the hunters and ran after
the man who had killed two boys. He
tried to fight him but the herder was
very weak compared to the man.
So he got away and ran towards
his home crying “my wife, my wife
a man is trying to kill me. “A big fat
woman came running and she tried
to whip him but she had no strength.
So the man kept on running and cry
ing, ‘My daughter, my daughter, a
man is after me “All at once a young
lady came run ling towaids them.
The giant fell in love with her and

DEWEY’S LINIMENT
I had tramped about 30 miles up
and down mountains and over miles
of nigger-heads pulling into Dewey’s
cabin about as supple as a wooden
clothespin.
In the midst of turning flap-jacks
Dewey pulled out a bottle of liniment
says he, “Here’s a blooming good
medicine that will cure all kinds of
aches and pains except . window
panes.” Says he,turning the last
tumtoa flap-jack,“I’ve figured it
out that this is the dope for ye.’’
About the time I l>egan rubbing
it on my leg Dewey began telling a
bear story. Says he, “The baste kept
me up a tree for two days. ’ ’
Of course I got excited.
In the morning I had an awful
time getting thru the spruce to the
tundra where I saw an Arctic hare
as big as a small mule. I started after
him in good earnest, but in spite of
my self I began walking in a circle.
I tried to quit but round and round )
went. I shot my gun and yelled to
Dewey to come and get me.
Says he, “What’s the matter me
boy?’’Says I, leant walk straight.
One leg is bum. Says he, “ye
blooming dutchman I figure it ou?
that ye put both doses on one leg
When ye circle by this place. I’ll be
here with the bottle of liniment.

Of words of blame, or proof of thus or so
Let something good be said.— J.W.Riley.
