Ml Peanut Lasted All Day With Yukon Veteran pennies and lie put them away In a cigar box, pleased as a kid. "I've seen men drop with sunstroke on the Yukon at 90 degrees In summer, and seen them freeze a hand soon's they'd take a mitten off at 78 degrees below In winter. But in all ny years in that land of cie and snow I never saw a snow shsovel." George Edward Lewis, who learned to write his name when he was 23 years old, with the black silt sand of the Arctic ocean shore for a blackboard, a piece of ivory for a pencil, and a Swedish adventurer for instructor, swletered obligingly in bis fur parka at the Wisconsin Hotel and talked about the land where he's spent most of his life. All his treasures Mr. Lewis trotted out for inspection.

He had his picture taken in the caribou parka; then he displayed his bobloo fur handkerchief, "used for seven years, and the sourdough spoon made of horn. "I've broken ice with it, eaten pemikan from it, fed tiie dog with it, scooped gold with it and dipped medicine from it. "Once when I'd been in the arctic for three years, eating blubber and pemikan and greasy, oily stuff, I frund a peanut on my way back to the States. I tell ybu, I chewed it the whole day and I wouldn't have traded you Carnegie's millions for it. Tasted so good." When Mr.

Lewis was nine years old he began his explorer's career in the approved fashion by running away from his home in northern Michigan. When he came back 13 years later he was close to six feel, and his folks didn't know him; he had to send out a livery stable man to break news he was still alive. "That first trip I went up on the James Dollar, an old windjammer, dfwn in the hold with the rest of the mountain niggers' that's why they call anyone who's worked in the lumber camps. Smallpox broke out, and I took care of them as well ao I could. I never got it.

I was ntver afraid o' it Forty-six years ago that was. I'm 64 now, but I'm going back. Oh. I couldn't stay away." Trapping and trading for a hile and then in 1897 the gold rush "They called Nome the toughest town in t.ie world then, and I guess tl ey weren't far wrong. Closed up nine months of the year 1.100 miles oxerland to get out.

"The old Alaska of the gold rush days is gone, but you may find trace-, oi it in the interior," he says. "Until the railroad came to Fairbanks, n.oney as no good: gold dust was everything. "It was in the Kantiihna country that I met the millionaire I told yiu about. John Lake bis name a.s, aud he'd come from Boston, but lie been up there so long he'd for-vi tten what the States were like. He looked at those pennies like a child looks at the moon." Mr.

Lewis' though he's chivalrous bj nature, can't hand the Eskimo maidens much when It comes to looks. Of course it doesn't pay to be lussv, and it not the poor girls" Uuntl that they don't know What oap means, but all the same. His knowledge of A la.sk a has been sed by several motion picture co4-pi nies, Mr. Lewis said. He'd "shoot the outside stuff" for them saving outAlde stuff" for then, saving the stars the trip up north.
