Book Description
Excerpt from The Return of Blue Pete Instead, he picked up the envelope and examined it on all sides. Mahon began to grow impatient. Twice the Inspector turned the letter over. Mahon fretted. He could see on its face the Division headquarters stamp Lethbridge but why all this ceremony and pother about an official note that came almost every day? He recalled suddenly that his wife would be holding lunch for him with fresh fish he had seen unloaded little more than an hour ago from the through train from Vancouver. He could almost smell it sizzling on the natural gas cooker. Hm-m! The envelope was not yet broken. I imagine this will interest you, Mahon. Suddenly the Inspector dived into a drawer and, taking from it an official looking envelope, passed it back to the Sergeant. The latter accepted it with fading interest. The Assistant Commissioner at Regina was unfolding to Inspector Barkers immediate superior, the Superintendent at Lethbridge, an unexciting tale of crime. Crime was their daily diet, and this was located far beyond their district. Somewhere away up north, hundreds of miles beyond the jurisdiction of the Medicine Hat unit of the Mounted Police, events of concern to the Police were happening along the line of the transcontinental railway now under construction.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Blue Calf: And Other Tales of Peter The man who is always trying to get the best of a bargain by underhanded means or to outwit somebody else is not honest. He wants to take advantage of other people's thoughts and toil; he wants things that do not belong to him things that he has not earned. Hewants to fool people and make himself out wiser and shrewder than they are. The man who thinks he is so cunning that nobody can get the best of him is a fool, and I sometimes think that being a fool is worse than being dishonest. He generally gets punished for his folly for the reason that every bunco steerer and gold-brick man who hears of him lies awake nights cooking up schemes to beat him. The slick grafter takes no professional pride in robbing a real easy mark, but he does feel justly proud when he gets under the skin of one of these smart individuals who think they are too cute to be taken in.

Book Description
George Catlin discusses how closing one's mouth during sleep and day to day will foster improvement in mental and physical condition. This edition contains all of the original illustrations the author made. Walking among and studying various Native American tribes in the 19th century, the author noticed that many of the elders possessed a serene and well-preserved appearance. The young members of the tribe seemed especially healthy, with an innate resistance to certain illnesses and congenital conditions. Seeing the tribe's members sleeping, he noted that they all did so with closed mouths. Catlin pondered whether this habit contributed to the physical vigor of the people, and investigated further. After venturing back to the towns of the Midwest, he attests to witnessing how terrible many people who had practiced mouth breathing throughout life appeared, and became deeply opposed to its practice. This book details how children and young people can be encouraged against mouth breathing, and notes how different the facial countenance appears between mouth breathing people and nose breathers. Today, the notion that mouth breathing promotes physical ugliness or decrepitude is wholly disavowed as an eccentric idea with no basis in fact. However, sleep researchers have demonstrated that breathing with the mouth open while asleep can result in more snoring and thus a lower quality of sleep and therefore health. Overall, one could venture that Catlin's ideas possess a certain merit, even if his book is an exaggeration. Although primarily known today as a painter and traveller who became an emissary of sorts to the Plains tribes, George Catlin was also an enthusiastic if occasional writer. He admired the Native American peoples for their traditions and distinctive appearance, and took to painting them - his marked talent led to their respect for his gifts, and they duly welcomed him with friendship.
