recently H. Macaulay was attarscu by
a inrge wolverine, and severely bitten
and scratched. The animal had killed
a rabbit and was sitting over his
prey when Macaulay stepped around
a rock directly onto him. Before he
could shoot the wolverine leaped for
him, and for a time It looked as if the
I man would get the worst of It, but ho
| beat the animal off with his gun and
shot it. Macaulay had scratches ten
Inches long and half an Inch deep on

Waller Shields, of the department
of education, returned to Nome re
cently from a trip to Cape Prince of
Wales. He reports a prosperous year,
and fox and lynx are very plentiful.
Most of the fox caught are of the
white variety. The natives, he says,
explain the shortage of ptarmigan by
saying that they got buried in the
snow lost winter and were unable to
scratch their way to the surface be
cause of the drifts packing hard from
the winds.

ALSACE 11DES
VEILS
___
(By Henry Wood, United Press)
WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES,
| Thann, Alsace, Feb. 25. — (lly Mall) —
I Just a In >u t the happiest girls In the
world today are the girls of Alsace,
who years ago, following their first
communion, secretly hid away their
while communion veils to lie worn
again In welcoming the French troops
back to Alsace—should that happy
event come.
Today these girls in that portion of
Alsace which has been reoccupied by
the French are supremely happy, be
cause they are girls whose dreams
have come true.
Some of the younger ones had only
a few years in which to dream and to
wait, but amongst the long lines of
white robed and white veiled girls
and women, who welcomed the French
troops on their arrival at Thann in
August, 1914, there were some who
had cherished their communion veils
for over forty years.
And now that this happy dream h is
come true, the white communion veils
are again being laid away for another
happy dream that promises not to
be so long in coming. This is the
j marriage between Alsatian girls and
the French soldiers who have re
deemed their province for France, and
already in the town of Thann alone
four of these marriages have taken
place, when white veils, worn at the
first communion, then to welcome the
French soldiers back to Alsace, were
finally worn for the third and last
time at the marriage ceremony which
symbolized anew the union of France
and Alsace.
The brides in these happy events
had the additional pleasure of having
the civil marriage, ceremony per
formed by a gallant French captain,
who, having lost his right arm in the
fighting to redeem Thann, now serves
as the French military mayor, whilst
the religious ceremony was performed
bv French priests who came in the
wake of the French army.
