WEIRD ROMANCE.
An Impossible Tale of the DiscOv-
cry of the North Pole.

An Impossible Tale of the DiscOv-
cry of the North Pole.
NEW YORK, July 1S.-A man who calls
himself King Ia Joie arrived in town to-
day and told a startling story of his
discovery Of the north pole He left
Montreal about five years ago and trav-
eled toward the polar regions with an old
trapper, by the name of White, to hunt
the polar bear and moose. When they
had proceeded further north than any
other white man had gone and had cross
ed great expanse of ice they came to
an open sea. Suddenly the ice broke and
he was carried away, with several of his
dogs, leaving his trapper friend alone.
He, was whirled along In a Strong cur
rent for thirty-seven days, and was at
last deposited on land inhabited by a
strange people dressed all IN white furs
The natives were so pleased with him
that they made him ruler over the 80, 900
persons who inhabit the seven polar isles.
He continues his story as follows:
Several days after I had been made
king l took my compass and directed my
steps to a steaming mountain of water
from which a warm air seemed to blow.
When I got there I found an enormous
fountain of boiling water, about four
miles in circumference, which shot up
into the air for 1000 feet. ! looked at
my compass and the needle was revolving
so fast that it was almost invisible
knew then that 1 had reached the north
pole, and as 1 was King la Joie named
the country Poletsijoie. I discovered aft
er had been at the north pole several
months that within a radius of fifty miles
of the boiling fountain the temperature
was so mild that it permitted vegetation.
Within a few miles of the fountain beau.
tiful flowers blossomed out, of the barren
ice and trees in great number, rounded
out into little green buds which tasted
much like brussels sprouts" -~-~

PORT JERYIS, N. Y, July 1S.-Some
one stole a pair of corsets last winter
from the store Of John Lawrence, in
Beaverkill, Sullivan county. Lawrence
was unable to account for the disappear
ance Of the corsets until few days ago,
when he learned the name of the thief.
Mary Jane Doolittle, young country
girl, entered his store.
Are you Mr.. Lawrence?" she said.
Yes" replied the storekeeper. What
can 1 do for you?"

me with pair of corsetS he said he stole

The merchant went to Justice of the

a warrant for his arrest. When the JUS
tice, who is very bashful man, discov-
cred that a woman was interested in the

sent Mr.. Lawrence to Justice Sprague,

ROAD IN GOOD SHAPE.

anu AnOACANAOAS VI AA
North Dakota Visible EveryWhere.
General Traffic Manager Clarke, Of the
Great Northern, returned yesterday from
q five days trip over the North Dakota
lines of the road, in company with the
railroad commission of that state, max
ing their annual inspection. He was
seen yesterday afternoon and said re-
garding the road and the conditions pre-
vailing in North Dakota;
The commission found the road in
good shape and reported to that effect.
The general conditions throughout the
state, as far as I was able to see, are
excellent, even better, in fact, than last
year. Farmers throughout the state are
prospering and are hopeful. Times are
good and the amount of business being
done by the merchants of the North
Dakota towns indicates a steady advance
in prosperity. Wheat is very fair. In
some sections the crop will be excellent.
Oats are good crop, as is flax, though
the acreage Of both grains is smaller
than usual. All crops are more or less
late this year on account of the late
spring. AS a general statement, I might
say that all crops are about fair aver
age for the state, some sections being
more favored than others. This month
will carry the crops to a point where
the danger will be passed. In some Sec
tions there has been a little hail, but not
enough to cause widespread damage
