Hull, Eng, Aug. 29.-Walter We'll man, the leader of the Wellman Polar expedition, who returned to Tromsoe, Norway, August r, after having suc- cessfully completed operations in Franz Josef Land, arrived here yesterday. He walks with the aid of crutches, his right leg, which was seriously injured by fall in snow covered crevasse, while Mir. Wellman was leading his party, still being useless. The explorer was accompanied by the American members of the expedition, who are we'll.
 In an interview with a representa- tive of the Associated press, Mir. We'll man said: The object of the expedi- tion was two-fold-to complete explora- tion of Franz Josef land, of which the north and northeast parts were practi- cally unknown, and to reach high latitude, or even the pole itself. The first object was successfully accomp- lished. The second would have been achieved, at least to greater extent than by previous explorers, but for the accident to myself"

CRUELTY TO FLOWERS.

Wild roses, which city peO- pie dote on. wilt before the railway station is reached, and pansies are dy-ng Of thirst long before the train arrives in town. Pansies are hardy and vii perk up and take a fresh hold Cn life f placed in water before they are quite dead, but most c0untry-bred flowers are most fragile. and I always feel sad when I see them going off to the grime and dirt and hot breath Of the c;Ey. to be forgotten in a mans buttOnhole or dropped and trampIed on in the car. Maybe I am supersen- siIve on the subject but 1 try to do my duty and send the blossoms l love best to th ch idren's missions in the slums every week.

COUNSEL.

Seek not to walk by borrowed light. But keep unto thine own; Do what thou doest with thy might, And trust myself alone. Work for some good. nor idly lie, Within the human hive; And ,hough the outward man should
 die.
 Keep thou the heart alivel Strive not to banish pain and doubt, n pleasures noisy din The peace thou seekest for without Is only found within. If fortune disregard thy claim By worth. her slight attes.. Nor blush and hang the head fer

 When thou hast done thy best. Disdain neglect. ignore despair, On loves and friendships gone; Plant thou thy feet. as on a stair, And mount right up and on.
