yided himself with fifty of these sledges, and
at Archangel, on his way north, he took on
board his vessel seventy-five draught dogs,
specially procured for him in Siberia.
If the ice is very rough the question is
whether the dogs can be induced to haul
at all. Sledging experiences, on the whole,
seem to show that dogs are almost valueless
under very hummocky and difficult ice con-
ditons.
Setting out from his winter camp late in
February, and allowing an average rate OF
ten miles a day, Mr.. Wellman hopes that
it may be possible to cover the distance to
the pole and back to his camp, about 1000
miles, roughly speaking, by the beginning
of June. 1t is almost imperative that he
return by that time, for then the melting of
snow is likely to add to the difficulties OF
travel. Nobody knows the nature OF the ice
surface he will have to travel over, and,
though he seems to have taken every posi-
BILE care in point of equipment to insure sue
cess, it will not be strange if the conditions
he encounters defeat his ambitious attempt
on the pole.-New York Sun.

A Hard Customer

This decoration of his wrists was not ac-
complished, however. without a struggle.
The prisoner said his name was John
Grimes. He is an old offender, but Grimes
is new name. Whenever he gets drunk
Grimes is very aggressive and ready to scrap
with anything from a telegraph pole to a

PENSION SYSTEMS WEAKNESS
Schcming Attorneys Who Fatten on
the Government

JAc GVvCxAuASAt
The pension attorney is at the bottom of
and behind very large proportion Of the
applications for increase Of pensions. He is
omnipresent and, as the protector, promoter
and frequently the Trainer of new pension
legislation, well nigh omniscient in all mat
ters relating to that branch of human know
ledge and decisions and the established
practice" of the pension bureau, as well as
of precedents furnished from week to week
by the reviewing officials in the department
of the interior, is not worth the knowing.
His original applications are skillfully, not
to say artfully, drawn with view to future
applications for increase. An ingenious ap-
plicant, who ascribes his physical disability
to rheumatism or some other single cause,
is surprised (f he reads the application pre-
pared for his signature) to find that he is
also afflicted with heart disease, malarial
poisoning, jaundice chronic diarrhoea, deaf
ness and score of other diseases-all the re-
suit of his army service. But it does not
end there. Having succeeded in securing
an allowance Oh one or two OF the dlsablil
ties, and thus establishing the pensionabic
status of his Client the attorney then has
an application for an increase filed, and
other applications of the same sort follow
in steady succession as long as the diseases
hold out or increase of disabilities which
have been recognized can be shown.
A very large proportion of the applica-
tions-probably majority of them-have
no fairer basis than the ingenuity of pension
claim agents. In what other way could
such case as the following, for example,
be explained? A pensioners application
for increase was granted on March 18th.
On April 9th, just twelve days later. he Sc
cured an order to appear before an examin-
ing board on another application for in
crease, which was granted on August llth.

PEACEFUL UNITY
Is Now Expected to Prevail In the
Ranks of the Lyceum League

The recent trouble in the ranks OF the
Lyceum league will be settled soon-that is,
lif the peace commissioners elected by each
faction can meet and agree. .. - .-...
The difference arose in recent caucus of
the league called to prepare for the coming
convention of the league to be held in this
city on December 30th. In this caucus two
parties struggled for supremacy in the cleo
tion of officers to govern said. caucus. Lewis
" Bryant was successful as candidate for
chairman.
After the election the defeated parties
withdrew and organized another caucus,
electing officers, with Adam Dirkman as
chairman. Each body, however, soon
found out that ii; was unable singly to cope
with thd problem of entertaining the con-
vention, and decided that harmony between
the two factions must be had if possible.

The Cuban flag was first carried by
Narciso Lopez about IS5O-ls5l, vixen

There are quite u number of versions
as to the meaning of this flag: one is
that the red equilateraI triangle
stands for equality; the white star
represents Cund. which would gain her
Independence through Il sea Of blood,
and The three blue stripes for the
three depart mc.:tS into which they in
tended to dirid! the island-eastern
Cuba. central Cuba and We .iprn Cuba.
There is another version. that once

went 10 the window of the room in
