Two Peel River Indians who had never seen a horse came to the Stewart with the intention of stay-

The Stewart River country was a hunt-er's pairldlse. It had all kinds of game. An old country Scotch hunter, Jim Christie, had a hunt- ing cabin and trap line on the Stew- art. One day he metla grizzly bear coming toward him. Christie aimed and fired his rifle at about one hundred yards distance. The bear kept coming, Christie pumped sev- eral shots at him and he still kept oomlng. He was alone with the bear. It was around 40 degrees be- low zero. By the grace of God two

It was a whim of King Charles V Of France which resulted in an error on the face of clocks. When Henry de Wick placed one of the first time "pieces in the king's pai- ace the latter remarked:

"It appears to work all right, but you halve made a. mistake in the figures on the dial."

"A king is never wrong." replied the monarch. "Four should be four ones. Correct theerror."

So to satisfy the whim of a king the clock maker did as he was ordered. That's why we see IIII instead of IV on seine clocks with Roman numerals.

for a wild animal to travel about 100 yards after being shot through the heart. I have known it to hap- pen in a caribou hunt. A caribou will cover more ground than a bear in the same time. Christie's good Samaritans were men of resource and quick action. They wrapped him in blankets and furs, bundled him onto a large dog sled, and with a team of dogs started at once for the Dawson City Hospital (over 50 miles). It was 55 degrees below zero when they arrived at the hospital after travelling all night on the lonesome river trail. Christie re- mained in a state of coma for more than R. week, but his outdoor exist- ence had given him robust health and tenacity of life. He recovered his usual good health and strength and remained in Dawson for the rest of the winter.

After the opening of navigation he bought a special excursion tic- ket, to the Glasgow Exhibition in Scotland, expecting to make his home in Scotland for the rest of his life on earth. Lo and behold! When the fail came he was back at his old hunting cabin again on the Stewart. Like many of the old timers, he couldn't stand the van- ity and frlvolity of the denizens-of the outside world. He pined for the

Few worries, plenty.of leisure time, and a happy existence. makes life one continuous round of pleas- ure for Chief Malgu Vaa, leader of a tribe in the jungle near the Gold Coast of Africa.

The chief's real name. however, is W. L. Shirer, and believe it or not he was born in the United States-not is. drop of African . -- blood flows through his veins.

A one time missionary and writ- er, the white American chief isone of the key men in King Ya Naa's tribe of 175,000 souls.

Shirer went into the Jungle country in 1930 as a missionary and was very successful in his work, spreading the Christian faith among the natives and teaching them up-to-date farming methods.

For this service the African king offered the stranger the position of tribal chief. That was two years
