IN THE ALASKA-YUKON GAMELANDS 



Remember that the axle-grease that lubricates 

 your bearings and liberates the crinkles from 

 your brain isn't taken directly into your nozzle 

 by gulps, but in the form of sunny and airy

 the whole of the outdoors in its welcoming call 

 to you to "come in." 



Forget that your limbs were only made to 

 stretch a tailor's tape on or to throw under a desk 

 in working hours. Take a new grip on yourself 

 and learn that a gun or a rod, when used prop-

 Bill Hohenzollern ever let loose in his palmiest 

 day. If you will follow the above advice you 

 will, by the glow of your cheek, the spark of 

 your eye, the spring of your step and the wit of 

 your mind, show to those waiting heirs and as-

 to them. 



In conclusion, I hope my readers will get more 

 generally into the habit of writing up their hunt-

 to building a house only many times easier, for 

 the reason that you have everything at hand in 

 your study instead of having to gather the sev-
