Of retrenchmeut manifested from every other

Home.

Home is the residence, not only of the
body, but OF the heart; 1t is place for
the affections to unfold and develop, for
for children to love and learn to play in,
for husband and wife to toll smilingly
together and make life & blessing. The
object of all ambition should be to be
happy at home; il we are not happy
there, we cannot be happy elsewhere.
1t is the best proof of the virtues of a
family circle to see happy tireside.-

Cost a food Round Sum

The real reason why Charlemagne
Tower, Jr.. of Philadelphia, has been
appointed Minister to Austria makes
interesting reading. When Chairman
Hanna visited Philadelphia to fry the
fat out of the manufacturers in the In
terest of Mckinley he met that agree
able hustling gentleman, Provost
Charles G. Harrison, of the University
of Philadelphia. The plans were map
ped out. and the committee was set to
work to raise money. Charlemagne
Tower was selected to squeeze the
banks, financial and railroad men, and
carry the scare crow around. When
Mr.. Harrison wound up he handed over
to Mr.. Hanna just $4,000. When Nc
Kinley became President, Mr.. Hanna
urged Harrison for an important am
bassadorship.
Harrison, by the way, is Sugar
Trnst man, and recently sold his big
refinery to the trust. Mr.. Provost re-
fused an appointment, but introduced
his friend Tower, and demanded a
place for him. Mckinley protested,
but in vain, and he was forced to make
the appointment in order to pay for
the immense sum raised in this city by
Harrison and his friends. The most of
the money contributed was used in the
Western States.

Northward to the Pele.

Lieutenant Peary, of Arctic notoriety
has new plan for reaching the Ntstl
Pole, which, it is said, has met viii
the approval of the Council of tn
American Geographical Society
Peary's idea is not to form an expedi
tion party. but to voyage to the weet
ern coast of Greenland, acconpantsd
by two companions at the most-oness
doctor, the other scientist.
There dwells a. tribe Of Eskfnfol
which constitute what is thought to be
tho most northerly settlement Of I'm
man beings on the globe. The expl9r-
er is known by these people. and frdln
among them he proposes to select ffe
or six young married couples. and wfah
them push along the northwest coast
of Greenland as far as possible All
their goods, including dogs and sledgss,
will be taken with them, and when 20
farther progress can be made nprth
they, with Lieutenant Peary and Ms
companions. will be landed at some
propitious spot and a new colony form
ed. The ship will leave supply Of
provisions for three or more yeara.s seaad
make its way back to civilization be-
fore the ice closes in.
From this basic point the two or
three white men will make their ex-
plorations. Lieutenant Peary figures
that this colony will not be over 800.
miles from the pole. The Eskimos will
be able to withstand the climate, and
he believes they will be contented az
long as they have enough food. The
women will be taken along to do the
cooking and attend to the clothing and
footgear.
As soon as the ice conditions are pro
pitious an attempt will be made to
reach the pole Lieutenant Peary,
from his Astounding polar experience,
figures that under favorable conditions
his little party will be able to make 10
miles day through the ice hillocks
and fields of snow. On this basis they
could make the distance and return in
about 70 days.
The explorer does not expect that a
favorable moment for pushing pole
ward would come at once. He says it
may be two, three or even five years
before the conditions are just right. II
necessary he will to be prepared to
wait 10 years, but he firmly believes
from his own experience that the time
will come within three years.
The lieutenant does not propose to
be abandoned completely in the north
ern desolation, however. Part of his
plan is to have the ship return each
summer and try to reach his colony
with fresh supplies, or to take them off
in case their object has been accom-
plished. In case of failure one year
the ship will try again the next, until
the colony has been reached. This
possibility of failure for year or two |
will necessitate the landing of large
Of supplies in the first in
stance.
