DOG TEAM PUTS
TRAVELING MEN
IN JACK POT
Who is responsible when a man
borrows a dog team, Lakes a frienu
out tor an airing, returns and ties the
dogs up to chinaware; the dogs break
ihs chinaware—now who pays the
damage, the bonowee, the owner or
the ridee?
Last Friday when a bunch of trav
eling men arrived on the Alaska, (lus
Ciillis, one of the aforesaid traveling
men, purchased a dog team to make1
the trip to the interior.
Yesterday, E. VV. Smith, trading
man representing the lilaek Manufac
turing company, borrowed the dog
team from Gilis to take L. Jl. Gug
gisberg, representative of the Walk
Over snoes out for an airing.
The airing was given all right, all j
right.
The return trip was made in safety j
and Smith took the dogs down into;
the basement of the Overland and tied!
them up to—a bunch of Delco bat
teries. •
This morning there were battencs
and dogs all over the basement.
The damage was estimated, at the
lowest to be $210. 00.
Somebody had to pay that damage.
Who?
Smith said it was Gillis who was
liable. Gillis kicked—he didn’t tie the
dogs up to the batteries. Guggisberg
was the third member. He only took
the ride.
Matters were becoming hinderburg
ish.
It was getting near train time and
the bunch were to hit the trail for
Anchorage, but there was a damage
to be paid for.
Guggisberg finally said something
about it was rather an expensive ride
but he would pay $25 then laised his
ante to $35. It was up to Gillis and
Smith. Smith hedged and Gillis
passed. At last the train whistled to
oast off and the bunch was still at the
Overland.
Gillis said ho would split the differ
ence with Smith, just to show' that he
was a real Optimo sport and the $210
was at last paid.
The bunch then hiked for the de
pot and caught the train that had
been held for them.

Too Sudden.
“What are you wearing dark glasses
for?” said one clerk to another In a
city office. “You have never had
trouble with your eyes before, have
you?”
“Never. But the caretaker came
round when I wasn’t looking, and
washed the window by tny desk. The
sudden glare was too much for me.”—

Plate for Worn-Down Heels.
At a time when economy seems to he
permeating our national life, the in
vention of u simple metal piece for
building up worn-down heels seems
most appropriate, the Scientific Arnerl- j
can says. Leon Weinstein of St. Louis j
has brought out a trend plate which
hus an upturned marginal flange taper
ing on opposite sides of the middle
line and disappearing near its edges.
The plate Is perforated and has up
standing embossments about the re- j
sj>ectlve perforations, the cm boss- j
ments being of such a height as to cor- l
respond to tlie shape of the heel to
which the tread Is to la* attached. ;
Thus It becomes possible to build up ;
the worn-down heel with one of these
new tread plates In a few moments'
time and nt an insignificant cost; and
the wearing qualities of tin* new heel
are far greater than those of leather.
