the tho Eskimos to mend a hole In his fur garment he was greeted by great laughter for he had called It hole In tho the Igloo All of ot which indicates that the Eskimo has his own sense of humor the

do not dread as one might suppose the long arctic night when the tho sun is not seen for tor months It is then that they ther have their community life the time for such games and pleasures as they know During the summer months the tho tribe is bending all efforts to stocking the larders against tho the time of darkness dankness Yet this eternal round of ot killing tho the feasting almost
