SIBERIAN TRIBE DRIVEN TO
CANNIBALISM BY STARVATION
Native and Daughter Kill and Eat Former's
Nephew After Seeing Seven of Family Die
Terrible Suffering from Famine.
New York. Dispatches from St. Pe-
tersburg giving accounts of starvation
and cannibalism among tribes Inhab-
iting the frozen arctic plain of the
Chuckchee peninsula at the extremity
of Ahia recalled the fact that virtu-
ally the first accurate knowledge of
this remote and peculiar people was
given to the world within compara-
tively recent data by the American
Museum of Natural History of this
city as a result of the iesup North Pa-
cific expedition named after Morris
K. J en up president of the museum
who financed the expedition.
Information cabled from the Rus-
sian capital Is that the tribes of
Chucknee Yukaghir and adjacent set-
tlemesta forming practically one peo-
ple were left without means of com-
munication or of obtaining food dur-
ing the winter of 1904 I'M 5 on ac-
count of the death through lack of
sustenance of their reindeer.
The situation finally became so des-
perate that the tribes. In council
agreed that each head of a family
should kill his wife and children and
then commit suicide which Spartan
decision was carried out In the dark-
ness of the arctic winter.
It was a Russian fur trader named
Dolganoft who reported the matter to
the authorities In Yakutsk Siberia.
A member of the tribe of Yukagtrs
a dying race was brought to Sredne.
Kolytusk and lodged In jail. Accord-
ing to the Kasha Shlsn he and his
daughter are charged with having eat-
en the man's nephew whom he killed
at the entreaties of bU daughter.
After that the Yukagir though be had
caught a swan continued to eat hu-
man flesh because be had aoqnlrvd a
taste for It The elder of the tribe
said that be discovered the cannibal's
daughter In the act of devouring a
boiled human bead.
The explanation of this atrocious
custom is to be found In the fact that
famine Is chronic in the district of
Kolymsk. Seven members of the
Yuksglr's family having died of starv-
ation before his eyes the man became
a cannibal and killed the nephew in
order to appease his and bis daugh-
ter's hunger.
The authorities of the olsti-ict are
taken severely to task for having sent
a number of half-naked and half-
starved Yukaglra on a shooting and
Ashing expedition for trading pur-
poses on th upper reaches of the
Kolyma YassatchnaJa and Popova
rivers during the season which lasted

"There ia not the slightest doubt
that $500000 is given away in Lon-

chanan secretary of the London Men-
dicity society in bis evidence before
the vagrancy committee the report of
which was published a few days ago.
lie states that once a man begins
to beg he is hopeless and adds ttrat
In IT years during which his socie-

"A successful street beggar can col-
lect $1.25 a day so that allowing him
to rest on Sunday be la capable of

made of the celebrated case last win-

INDIAN EARTHQUAKE THEORV
'Red Hen Believe Center of Earth Is
Filled with Compressed
Hot Lava.
Maj. Cicero Newell tells why thert
are sugh things as earthquakes tidal
waves and volcanoes. The majoi
learned these things from Dakota In-
dians says tb4 Seattle Times.
"When I lived among the Dakotas"
said he "I found men who like Budd-
ha gave seven years of their lives
to prayer and fasting that they might
become more pure in the sight of God
or the Great Spirit as they called that
being. After ihey have proved them-
selves before their people by perform-
ing so-called miracles such as holding
their hands and trms in boiling water
and not being buined shot with poi-
soned arrows and not harmed bit-
ten by rattlesnakes and not poisoned
and many other tests that I have wit-
nessed they are accepted as holy or
wise men. The Indians believe that
they can get the word direct from God
or the Great Spirit the same as the
wise men and seers of old used to do.
I have asked these intelligences to teil
me about the cause of the earthquakes
and tidal waves and they explain it
like this:
"They say volcanoes are the safety
"alves of the eaith. That the rim
of the earth Is gradually cooling. As
It cools It contxactj making the press-
ure on the hot lava In the interior
greater. At last rcmethlng must give
way this rim muct crack open or the
volcanoes must burst forth and emit
this compressed lava.
"Sometimes It 1 relieved In one
way sometimes in another. Should
the earth crack In mldocean where the
crust is usually thinner then the wa-
ters of the ocean fill in and there is
a great explosion as the water strikes
this great bed of hot lava large masses
of the rlra are thrown up and Islands
appear. Sometimes they stay on the
surface of the ocean sometimes they
fall back and are again covered with
water but the upheaval so lifts the
water that a great wave Is started for
the shore that carries death and de-
struction in its way.
"Many of the old safety valves In the
earth are now closing up; only a few
remain. The crust Is becoming so
thick that the cooling process Is
more slow."
Liked Prison.
Sir Alfred Reynolds who has done
a great deal for British unfortunates
aays that when a young girl goes to
prison for the first time It Is for her
a very dreadful thing. He tells of a
case which came under his notice as a
visiting Justice. A young girl when
she found herself In the prison was
utterly overcome with shame and be-
came hysterical. The matron con-
trived to soothe her. When her time
came to b released the girl said to
the matron "I've been so happy that
I shan't mind coming back again."
Johnny Becomes
a Hero
By H. BARRETT SMITH
Bat O'Conuor rushed back and lorth
to and from the freight elevator of
the department store.
Moriarity Bat's driver was In the
freight clerk's office. Bat having no
help for the r.:oment was handling the
lighter furniture; but wanting to get
the truck 1-iaded he seized a ncavy
packing case and lifted tt to the truck j
"Look out there!" cried a voice. j
Bat saw a small shoulder bracing the
box. His eyes twinkled as he looked
down at a ragged little youngster with
big brown eyes.
"Hello pal who are you?"
"I'm your helper."
"Is that so? and what may your
name be?"
"Yer kin call me Johnny."
"So" said Bat placing his box
"you've been taken on for to-day?"
. "I guess that's about the size of it"
and Johnny began to Jig and beat his
sides with hU arms to keep warm.
"What's jour number son?"
"Thirteen Oh youse needn't be
afraid 'tain't no hoodoo."
"Isn't it tow?" said Moriarity com-
ing up and be winked at Bat "Start
In then an l let's see bow smart you
are."
The men went to work with a will.
So did Johnny. Bat said 13 was "full
of stunts." Moriarity remarked that
some one was like "a live wire."
"Bat" called Harris the freight
clerk coming to the door "you go up
to the office and you'll hear what's
what."
Johnny's eyes followed Bat Present-
ly he saw Bat leave the office and rush
toward Moriarity.
"Pop" Bat's voice was shaky "we re
goln' to part They've shoved me up.
Made me a driver for good. They
were goln' to do It anyway the first
of the year but they've given It to me
for a Christmas present"
' "Look at that now." A dead calm
had struck Moriarity turbulent voice.
"Who's goln' to be your helper?"
"Why" Bat looked around John-
ny's eye ci.ight him "the kid of
course! Comfi on John!"
"Ha ba! Good luck to ye!" cried
Moriarity.
When Bit took up the reins he
turned to Johnny.
"This is to be a short trip" he said
"but goodn-iss knows where they'll
send us on the next It's goln' to be
tough too It doesn't look as II this
snow will let up for a week; but
Jerry Is a new horse an' I got a
fine helper an'" Bat fell Into his
drawl "I nuess we're all right hey
kid?"
There was a thoughtful pause on
But's part tbrn he said:
"John I'm goln' to give you some
advice the same Moriarity gave me
the first day I started out with him.
This wall-it here" Bat opened his coai
and displayed a wallet In his Inside
pocket "thai c where we keep the
money and we got to look out for it-
understand?" Johnny nodded. Uncer-
tainty was fading from his coun-
tenance and the light of hope was
dawning In bis eyes. "Always stvxd
by your driver don't let any one track
you off on fiat point" Bat held up a
warning finger "and never play crap
with your C. O. D. money see? liey
what's wie nutter?"
" The change that came over Johnuy's
face was pitiable.
"Nope" laid Johnny with a shake
of his head. "Y'soe me old man gam-
bled." Bat looked startled but be said
blankly:
"Is that so?" There was a pause
then Bat rpoke softly: "Yer ;nother
Is dead?"
"Yep dead."
"An' Where's yer old man now?"
"I don't know" and Johnny shook
his head slowly.
"Deserted ye?" asked Bat
"Nope dead" said Johnny serious-
ly. It wag a terrible night In tho city
street. The wind blew a furious gale.
The snow had ceased falling but this
was the whitest Christmas eve In the
memory of old New Yorkers.
"Bat yours Is the first wagon that's
showed up in two hours" said Har-
ris. "I don't know what we'll do with
the undelivered stuff! Maybe it U
only your luck but you've made more
trips than tny three wagons to-day."
Hot coffee was served Bat and
Johnny as Hxrrls continued:
"We don't know how you've done It
Bat but'
"Well l".l tell you" Interrupted 3at
"you can Ju.it thank that kid there!"
Johnny started . from a dream.
Johnny's eyes were dumb. He was
standing with his frozen fingers cluped
around the coflee cup. Johnny feit that
if be sat down he would not be able
to rise again. He became conscious
now that his teeth were chatterng
and he raised the cup to bis lips.
Johnny would have dropped where he
stood but his imagination sustained
him. Before he was startled out oi
his dream he saw the last load de-
livered the greatest record ever known
f set down to Bat's credit No laurel-
cro vned victor ever made a triumphal
entry to equal Johnny's mental clo
ture of Bat's brilliant finish at the
close of that most memorable day.
"Here's the last load" said Har-
ris. "It's a long one and a gxd one.
Think you can do It?"
Bat looked at Johnny.
"What d'yo say pair'
Johnny tcck a long swallow of cof-
fe. then answered steadily:
Til go yer!"
"Come on then."
The fierce wind swept across tns
Hudson and whirled the snow into great
drifts that stretched in a range of white
hills in front of the dwellings on River-
side Drive.
Here deliveries tested the endur-
ance of mm ana beast but the day's
tug was not reached unt" wnen far-
ther north Pat tried to torce Jerry up
the steep of Manhattanville.
They were on their way down town
again when Pat said:

deliveries and reached the coiner
where aa be thought he should meet

Johnny stood for awhile in the
whistling hltist- Bat's wagon u in
sight on the avenue a short b'.jck
aw.y. Johnny started toward it
Then bells clenged shouts rent the aii
a yell a crash and a trolley car bit
the wagon and glided serenely on.
The wagon was not hurt but Bat
shot out over Jerry's head and lay
quiet in the snow.
When Johnny reached Bat he saw
that his eyes were closed and that the
snow was dyed red where Bat's ntad
lay. They were alone these two. Nc
one In sight not even a sound save
the moaning of the wind and 'he
stamping of the horse broke the still-
ness of the night. Johnny looked up
then Bat's lips mumbled something
Mechanically Johnny opened Bala

inulde bis own jacket
"I got t' do it" said Johnny.
Two men came along and soon after
them a policeman. Then Johnny gol
into the wagon.
"I got f do It!" be said again nd
he said It In a way that gave him
strength to start Jerry.

yet got back. Bat was at home with
bis head bound up and Moriarity wno
lived In the same house trying to
comfort him. Bat said that the ac-
cident was his own fault be had
no business on the Icy track and was
too dead tired to get off In time.
When Bat came to the kid wallet hnd
wagon were gone and the policeman
told him the wagon had turned down
Eighth avenue. Harris now dis-
patched one of the men In that direc-
tion to look for Johnny.
It wa four o'clock when Johnny
turned Into Sixth avenue at Fifty-
ninth street Jerry hobbled along. Only
at every elevated station he would
swerve to the side street the stable
was on a station street and Joh.iny
with strength born of desperation
would hold the horse In.
Down the avenue they went An
occasional car clanged to them a
"Merry Christmas." Overhead the
electric trains whizzed by but Johuny
with the reins clasped in his stiffened
fingers stared at the great white way
stretched out before him.
Harris was walking up and down In
the cleik's office In the stable.
"It's no use Harris" said the clerk.
"A kid like 13 never could do it"
Harris did not answer. A blast of
wind shook the office windows. It
shrieked and died away. Then from
the quiet street came the sound of a
horse picking his way over the frozea
pavement The night watchman sig-
naled the approach of a wagon. The
men in the office rushed and threw
open the door. Jerry staggered up the
Incline and a dozen arms reached out
for 13.
Johnny's Imagination had plctu:ed a
triumph for Bat but in the wildest
flight of his fancy he never dreamed of
anything like this for himself. Willing
hands and warm hearts worked over
him. Infusing new life. He was bathed
and rubbed and anointed wrapped In
fur and rushed in Harris' arms 'round
the corner and up two flights of stairs.
"There! What do you think ol
him?" Harris set Johnny on tne sofa
beside Bat and threw back the fur
robe.
Bat's arm drew Johnny to him
Johnny looked 'rovad confused.
It was Moriarity that called out:
"What's the matter with 13?"
"He's all right!"
Johnny looked aa if he had done
something to be ashamed of. And ha
hid his face In Bat's shoulder as ha re-
torted shyly:
"G'wan rouse!"

Cake Guessing Contest I
This is a clever Utile skit to fill In I
a few moments that might lag. Write j
these questions on slips of paper and j
pass pencils allowlug 15 minutes for j
the guessing. For a prize to the per-
son who has the most correct answers j
give a prettily decorated cake.
What kind of cake should a jeweler j
eat? Gold and silver cake. j
What kind for a politician? Elec-
tion cake.
What kind for a man who lives on
bis friends? Sponge cake.
What for a maker of gloves? Lady
fingers.
What for a gardener? Fruit cakev
What kind for a lover? Kisses.
What kind for a pugilist? Pound
cake.
What kind for a geologist? Layer
cake.
What kind of a cake would a persou
have if he ate all of these? Stomach-
aches. A Lily Luncheon.
This affair is most attractive. For
the center piece use a large bunch cf
white lilies with the natural foliage;
shade the candles with white; use
glass holders winding them with
smilax. The place cards are In shape
of lilies with the lettering In gold.
Of course the hostess will wear
white and if there Is any color it
must be yellow. Serve the regulation
luncheon menu but the ice or cream
may be frozen In "illy" forms or
served In a real calla lily. This is a
decided novelty but is a practical one.
White candles should be the only arti-
ficial llgit in the dining room and they
make the proper setting for this un-
usually pretty affair.
Party for Children.
A mother I know has planned such
a unique afternoon party for her two
children aged eight and ten. If the
weather la fair there will be games
out of doors and the hunt for flowers
(artificial ones) will be most realistic.
Each child is to be given a basket
with a bow of ribbon on the handle.
The one who finds the most llos-
soms will be given a box of marsh-
mallows or buttercup candles which
Is not to oe opened until the child
gets home.
After the hunt a wreath of flowers
Is to adorn each child's head and for
the remainder of the time the guests
will be called by the name of the
flower composing the wreath. If any-
one forgets and calls the real name a
forfeit Is to be paid of a flower from
their .wreath. At the end of a half
hour a count Is taken and the one who
has paid the fewest forfeits Is permit-
ted to choose the games to be played
for the space of 15 minutes.
The dining room Is going to be very
pretty with a large gilded basket for
the centerpiece pink ribbons from It
leading to the places for the little
girls and green for V boys. The
basket will contain a flower for each
with a tiny gift tied to It. A simple
menu Is to be served consisting uf
clam bouillon wafers lettuce sand-
wiches Ice cream In tiny baskets with
a flower tied on the handle lady fin-
gers and maccaroons so dear to child-
ish hearts.
To Choose Partners.
The nickname of states provide a
gqod way to select partners. Writs
the names of the states for the girl a
and the nicknames for the men and
then let them find each other. A live-
ly time is likely to ensue. To save
the hostess from wracking her brains
the list follows:
North Carolina "Old North."
New York "Empire State."
South Carolina "Palmetto State."
Rhode Island "Little Rhody."
Ohio "Buckeye."
Connecticut "Nutmeg State."
Delaware "Blue Hen."
New Hampshire "Granite State."
Pennsylvania "Keystone State."
Louisiana "Creole State."
Illinois "Sucker State."
Indiana "Hoosier State."
Massachusetts "Bay State."
Texas "Lone Star State."
Maine "Pine Tree State." .
Virginia "Old Dominion."
