Mr.. Nansen and His Proposed New
Home.

The important news comes to the
surface that Fridtjof Nansen, the emil
nent Artjic exploforer, lecturer and
audjthojr, is going to build house on
the jumping+off place of Northern Nor
way, and there settle down for the rest
of his days. Having failed to discover
the Pole, but succeeded in raklng in
goodly fortune in telling large and en-
thusiastic audiences about that failure,
Nansen has decided to spend the rest
of his days looking uorthward, in
hopes, doubtless, that the Pole will
some day take it into its head to dis
cover him. If the Pole is a gentleman
1t will not dlsappoint the lean and lank
explorer.
Mr. Nansen deserves a home on the
surglng iceberg if he wants it. He de-
serves all the cold storage dwellings, he
desires, and hope his ice man will not
make himself disagreeable when the
pole-hunter pulls up stakes and tricks
northward, to finally locate where ice
is as cheap all the year around as it
was in Cincinnati last week. The
house he comtemplates building will
doubtless be a magnificent one. 1t
will probably be regular Aurora Bor-
calls of home stead, in fact, with the
Northern Lights Company furnishing
him his illumination. Then, too think
of the possibilities of new seal skin
sacque every two weeks for Mrs. Nan
sen if she wants it! 1t might be lone
some for anyone else but Nansen, but
Mr.. Nansen knows there is no better
company in the world than himself
for himself-and he will employ his
time in looking out for the coming of
the North Pole and looking into a
block ice mirror Nansen likes work,
and will help build the house him
self. l can imagine him now, dressed
in Jabgger's Patent Indestructible
Underwear" and we'll lined with
"LDbig's Extract of Beef" saving
cheerily away on great chunks of con-
gealed Artic Ocean, or fashioning them
into building blocks, while beneath
his breath he sings to himself: HE
never cared to wander frojm his OWN
icy sIide!"
Fribdjof, old man, here's looking at
you! May you enjoy your future
trapped existence as much as we en-
joyed your book.-E. ]. Appleton in

Oil Craze Strikes MassiIon.

Massillon, o., Feb. 1.-THE oil craze
has reached Massillon and land is be-
ing leased in every direction. One
company, the Home Gas, Oil Coal Co.,
has been incorporated with a capital
stock of $4,000. The company will
purchase it's own machinery and will
commence drilling as soon as posi-
bic. another company is being form
ed and a boom is pending. About ten
years ago several holes were drilled
in and about Massillon and gas or oil
was struck each zine, but was shut off
by a strong flow of salt water shortly
after. Experts claim they can control
he water, and as Massillon is located
on -e Venango belt, they predict a
good find.

filled it with salt, and when ! went to
bed, eat 1t shell and all, without speak
ing or drinking after 1t. We also wrote
our lovers names on bits of paper and
rolled them up in clay and put them
into water, and the first that rose up
was to be our valentine. Would you
think 1t? Mr.. Blossom was my man.

morning till he came to our house;

his well-salted and persevering admir-
er.
When she meets the king and queen
In the castle, Shakespeare makes
Ophella say to the fratricdal ruler of
Denmark:
Good morrow, 'tis Saint Valentines
Day,
All the morning betlme,
And l a maid at your window,
To be your Valentine"
And in the Midsummer Nights
Dream, Demetrius, Lysander, Hernia
and Helena starting up at the sound
OF horns and shouts, ARE addressed thus
by Theseus:
Good morrow, friends, ST. Valentine
is past,
Begin these wood-birds but to couple
now?"
Back in 170S an English poet wrote:
"Why Valentines day to choose
4. mistress and our freedom lose"
1t is true when couple mate for
l.fe there is loss of certain kind of
freedom that was once entirely legiti-
mate. AS to the bride,
''She must no more a-maying,
Or by rose buds divine
Who'll be her valentine"
Nor must the groom forget that it
was he who stood at the altar and SOL
emnly promised that, forsaking all
others, he would cleave to her only so
long as they both shall live. And if
the mating is wisely considered and
well seasoned with true love the gain
to both is immeasureably greater than
the loss. For such as they, st. Valen-
tines Day is never attended with a
! flood of vain regrets. ALFRED.
