MENE THE ESKIMO.
The Boy From the North Who Refused
to Be Educated.
(Waterbury American.)
The story of Mono. the Eskimo boy.
brought by Peary to this country in
1896. who has disappeared, leaving a
note behind to say that he is walking
home. is a more or less familiar story
of current news, but has aspects which
are being widely commented on.
Meue tried to accustom himself to
our ways and acquire an American
education. The intention of those who
befriended him was to semi him back
to his people to teach them the bene-
fits of civilization and the Christian re-
llgion. The effort was too much for
Mene, whose pathetic note says:
“Never mind where I am; i am just
working north. I am homestlck and dis-
gusted, and when Commander Peary
told me he had 10 room for me on
his ship I lost ho 13

This was true of many of the Chin-

established at Hartford. When they
went back, as they testified. they led
