THE NORTH PoLR.- Can the North
Pole be found2 DR.. Petterman, the dis
tingushed German scientist, believes
that it can. He believes that the energy
devoted to the task OF building railroad
over tho Rocky Mountains would strip
the ice mountains of the polar sea Of half
their terIOrs. lie dosen't believe there is
an open polar sea, as DR.. Hayes describes
it, but thinks the sea is more or loss cover
ed with ice mountains, which escape from
it and float into warmer waters. If they
do rot, he argues that the new formation
of ice each year would cause North Eu-
rope to retrograde back to the ice ages.
lie believes that there is land near the
pole crushed over or coated in ice, with
ice mountains ON its coasts, and crushing
against each other in the seas about it..
This land, he believes, is inhabited, and
the people love their ice mountains as
we'll as the negroes Of Central Africa love
their country. Some Of these people, he
thinks have struggled down into Southern
Greenland, but, disgusted with the irregu-
lar and uncertain weather, have gone
back to their icy mountains. The Doc
tors theory OF Greenland is that it ex-
tends northward much further than is
marked on the map, and is part Of the
Eastern Continent. Or this theory, hu-
man beings will be found at the pole,
with ice cheaper than dirt is in Chicago.
DR.. Petterman believes that, ifa little Of
Stanley's misdirectsd energy in Central
Africa we're expended in looking up the
North Pole, it would be found.

Around the barn, back again toward
the house, went tho strange pair, and as
the gate was again leaped, came the cry
this time of
"For Gods sake, call man -
And he again disappeared around tho
house, Mable Clark ran out of the door
aud, seizing q stick some four feet in
length, stationed herself at the corner
with the cudgol elevated above her head.
On came John, painting like an engine,
and as he came around the corner, down
went the club, barely grazing Johns
head, but striking the racer blow that
broke its hold and back at the same time.
John concluded it best not to wait, but
gathering his remaining strength for a
fna. dash, bounded into the house, up
stairs and into his room.
An hour later Gertrude tapped at his
door, "John, viii you come down to tea,
or shall call a man ?"
II will come down, Gertrude, " was his
answer in firm tone.
And he did. He made a careful toilet,
and there was not feature of his face
that betrayed embarrassment. Mabel
had extracted a promise from the girls
not to speak Of the episode, or betray any
knowledge Of it whatever.
Mabel had Johns company home that
night Z; and in the glorious October wealth
er there was a wedding at Judge Clark's.
1t was not until then that the story came
out, out John often says to Mabel ~

AFTER DINNER MAPS No wonder if
half the world knows how pleasant it is
to take an after dinner nap, and what u
relief it is to the overburdened brain or
stomach. We used 10 know a lawyer
who took his nap on three chairs: and
that lawyer, if he continues the practice,
will die an old man. If there IS any one
time when man is forced to exert him
self, whether in muscle or brain labor, to
work, it is after the MONDAY meal. Ii
all men cou Id only rest, not an hour but
two hours and could put the extra time
on the closing hours of the day, what an
improvement would be made in their
health Whether he be a farmer or me-
chanic, or professional man, good rest
after dining leaves the man in better
cond tion for hard labor than even in the
morning. 1t was sensible farmer who,
in harvest, always made an agreement
with his workmen to work ten hours
day; and from twelve o'clock to two
O'Clock no work was done, unless IN case
of an emergency-a threatened rain, or
something that required extra exertions.
The men had glorious times sleeping
under the trees after dinner. They al
ways used up three quarters of an hour
at the table, and then slept one hour and
a quarter during the heat of the day. The
result was they were never overw Orked,
and that farmer got more labor from his
men than did any of his neighbors from
theirs, though their men often worked
twelve hours day. When two O'Clock
came the men were in good trim, COM
pletey rested, and could do double the
work with more ease than if they had
commenced work at one o'clock. A
single hours rest at the proper time works
wonders.

'you play Hamlet"
The manager bowed in the stiirna-
tive.
And Monsisar M, your leading
man, plays the Prince ?"
The manager bowed again.
"In the name OF Justice then" con
tinued the visitor, IL demand the priv
lege of furnishing part Of the Prince 3
properties. l assure you, sir, the repre-
sentaiion shall receive no detriment b.
any fault or omission of mine"
He at once stated his desire, and
though the manager seemed terribly
struck by some of his disclosures, hs
wilhlly consented to his demands.
Hamlet" was "on," and M, as the
melancholy Dane, never acted better
The elsquers were out in force, hut thoir
interested applause was not necessary.
The audience was enthusiastic.
The grave digges in the grave, and
the habitues OF the place noticed that the
"second" Of the functionaries, as they
are called in the programme, was mn
entirs stranger to the stage. Any atten
tion it m ght have excited, however, was
| lost in tho entrance of Hamlet and
Horatio.
Suddenly, and with awkward stage
action, the second grave digger threw out
skull, and leaned OF his pick MS he
observed Hamlet, in the Cuisines" Of
the scene, stoop and pick 1t up.
The Prince had begun his speech
"Aas poor Yorick |"
when his hand moved over the yellow,
bony surface, touched something hard
and cold.
Tho eye of the grave digger fairly
glittered as he saw him start, temble
and drop the skull, which fell with sdu l.
heavy metallic thud on the green
carpet.
A long iron spike ran through it from
forehead to base.
While the auditors were wondering at
the strange act, aud tho strange paralysis
that seemed to have como over their tav
orite, tho detective leapod from the ave
aud shouted
IL arrest Monsieur M, for MUIR
der I"
One wild look at the hand on his shoul
der, and the actor, shrinking ID "a wild
frenzy, tainted.
In an instant all was terror and con'us-
ion. but from the supernumeraries pres
came forward six persons, who, throwing
of their theatrical accoutrements, showed
themselves policemen.
Amid an uproar tho curtain dropped
and the udience dispersed.
M, on reviving, was wandering in
his mind, and never recovered Rut
amidst his madness he told an awful tale
He had killed the stranger who Lad
beer found with a nail in his skull He
belonged in Asace, his own province.
In younger days NJ had robbed
him. Meeting the actor in the city ho
had tn. eatened exposure. A return OF
tho stolen money wOuld not satisfy h,m.
He said he would cling to him lor lito.
They wero walking one night and
talking il over near the Halle aux Wins.
On the pavement his foot struck II sp ko,
evidently dropped by one OF tho cnopof4
Of the establishment. lIe picked il up,
aud from that momont, in mind, he was
an assassin. In n lonely spot he grn- p,d
his enemy by the throat, choked hic,
and then, to assure his work, driven with
barr9l stavs tho spike through h3
brain.
His hesitancy about entering the M'r-
que on the eventful last day Of the body -
exposure, had given the frat hint to The
officer, who had finally worked out his
detection and conviction.
