HerO1sm OF Polar EXPLORATION.

TO BE CONTINUED
HerO1sm OF Polar Exploration.
News from Lieutenant Peary sent
from the north of Greenland by way of
Brigus, Newfoundland, to which point
one Of the ships of his expedition re-
Gently returned, adds another chapter
to the self sacrificing heroism of polar
exploration. But there are both light
and shade in the picture presented.
According to the report, Lieutenant
Peary had his feet badly frost bitten
and will be partially crippled for life.
The loss of seven toes by the intrepid
explorer In his first years effort in
pushing poleward, added to the mys-
terry which envelops the fate Of Andree,
the accident making Walter Wellman
a cripple and the failure of the Fran
to pass through Smith sound and Ken
nedy channel, is disappointing and per-
haps discouraging, though it by no
means indicates that the search for
the pole will be abandoned. So long as
there shall remain upon this great ball
on which we live any unexplored Sec
ton there will be heroic spirits who
will brave the most hostile conditions
and suffer the most trying discomforts
in an effort to discover that which has
hitherto been yelled from human ken
Whether this type of heroism is
prompted by an unselfish desire to
benefit the world or by a selfish desire
for fame does not matter The hero
ism of the explorer remains factor in
all tie worlds development. We may
regard the cost of polar exploration in
life, physical suffering and the expend-
iture of money as wholly out Of pro-
portion to the good to humanity ac-
complished or possible Of accomplish
ment, but nevertheless the dauntless
and ventureSOme explorers who add
new facts to the worlds knowledge Of
the world are the worlds benefactors.
Kenosha, a progressive little city in
Wisconsin, is getting some free adver-
Using by reason of bit Of brilliant To-
cal legislation. The municipal council
has passed an ordinance forbidding wo-
men to ride bicycles until they have
passed an examination as to their abil-
ity to steer a wheel. 1t will be edify-
ing to see the ladies going through
their examination maneuvers before q
solemn committee Of experts in the
public square. If each one who passes
the test gives a bond of 500, there
will be an ample fund for the payment
depredations caused by women who
run down ice wagons and injure c.
fenseless aldermen by charging into
them unawares. All this is excellent,
but there is danger that some inconsid-
crate women may object to this reform
on the ground that it is class legiSla-
ton and hence unconstitutional. A
fine Of $40 will be imposed for each
violation of the ordinance. These fines
are to go for the payment Of the ex-
perts who imperil their lives by test
ing the riding abilities of feminine be-
ginners. The experts undoubtedly de-
serve compensation, and it may be
boon to the surrounding country to be
protected from feminine rough riders.

seemed to break open the crust that had
for years surrounded these two men and
shut them off from divine communica-
ton, and they themselves were thor
oughly startled by the event.
The bishop ceased, and at first he
himself did not realize what had hap
pened. Neither did the two men, Burns
still sat with his head bowed between
his hands The man leaning against the
fence looked at the bishop with face
in which new emotions of awe, repent
ance, establishment and broken CLEAN
Of joy struggled for expression
J The bishop rose.
"Come, my brothersl God is good
You shall stay at the settlement tonight,
and T will make good my promise as to
the work.
The two men followed the bishop in
silence When they reached the settle

let them in and led them to room. At
the door he paused a moment His tall,
commanding figure stood in the door
way, and his pale face, worn with his
recent experiences, was illuminated
with the divine glory. $3.50.
"God bless you, my brothers, he
said, and, leaving them his benediction,
he went away. ... ~.
In the morning he almost dreaded to
face the men, but the impression OF the
night had not worn away. True to his
promise, the bishop secured work for
them. The janitor at the settlement
needed an assistant, owing to the growth
pr the work there. So Burns was given
the place The bishop succeeded in get

him down in the hall and then shut the
door and put his back against it.
Burns fell on his knees, sobbing and
praying The bishop stood there, pant
ing with his exertion, although Burns
was a slight built man and had not
been a great weight for one Of the
bishops strength to carry. The bishop
was moved with unspeakable pity.
''Pray, Burns-pray as you never
prayed beforel Nothing else will save
your
20 Godl Pray with mel Save mel
Oh, save me from my hell" cried
Burns, and the bishop kneeled by him
IN the hall and prayed as only he could.
After that they arose, and Burns
went into his room. He came out Of it
that evening like a humble child, and
the bishop went his way, older from
that experience, bearing on his body
the marks Of the Lord Jesus. Truly he
was learning something Of what it
means to walk in his steps.
But the saloonl It stood there, and
all the others lined the street like SO
many traps set for Burns. How long
would the man be able to resist the
smell Of the damnable stuff The bishop
was out on the porch The air Of the
whole city seemed to be impregnated
with the odor Of beer GLOW long, O
God, how long?" the bishop prayed.
DR.. Bruce came out, and the two
friends talked over Burns and his temp
tation. NJ
"Did you ever make any inquiries
about tho ownership Of this property
adjoining us7" the bishop asked.

The breakfast hour at the settlement
was the one hour in the day when the
whole resident family found little
breathing space to fellowship together:
It was an hour of relaxation. There
was a, great deal of good natured re-
partee and much real wit and enjoyable
fun at this hour: The bishop told his
best stories DR.. Bruce was at his best
in anecdote. This company Of disciples
was healthily humorous in spite of the
atmosphere Of sorrow that constantly
surrounded them. In fact, the bishop
bitten said that the faculty Of humor
was as God given, as any other, and in
his own case it was the only safety
valve he had for the tremendous press
ure put upon him.
This particular morning the bishop
was reading extracts from "a morning
paper for the benefit Of the others. Sud
denly he paused, and his face instantly
grew stern and sad. The rest looked

These were headlines that the bishop
read slowly. He then went on and read

THOROUGHLY SUCCESSFUL.

The Teachers Institute Well Attended
and Instructive.
Missoula, Oct 4.-The present session
of the Missoula County Teachers in
stitute is most successful. The attend
ance is large and the teachers are in
terested pupils for the week. Their
instructors seem to be doing satisfac-
tory work to judge from the appearance
of things and the discussions that are
called out by questions and statements
made. The present plan of conducting
institutes is so much better than the
old go-as-you-please system that the
institute has ceased to be a bore to the
teachers and is one of the most benc-
fetal features of the school work of the
state. One has but to contrast the pro-
grammes of the Institutes Of the last
few years with those that We're followed
10 years ago to appreciate the improve
ment. Much, of course. depends upon
the instructors under the present sys-
tenn, but the selection of instructors
that has been made by Miss Hord, the
county superintendent, this fall is evil
IDENTIFY as good as could be desired and
the work has made excellent progress
thus far.

morning, having been but slightly hurt.
Mr.. Scott, by great presence of mind,
escaped instant death at this wreck.
He was riding on the top of caboose
while the brakeman was cutting out a
portion of the cars. The work was be-
ing done while it was dark, so that he
did not notice that the cars were not
cut out as was intended. He was
thrown between the cars by the concus-
sion of the train coming together and
fell on the rails. but caught on to the
iron steps that lead to the top of the
cars and held on until the cars were
stopped. But for doing this he would
have been ground to pieces.
