This here business iv Artic explor-
atoms tn gran pursoot," said Mr..
Dooley. "A gran. comfortable, fghtin',
quarrelin' business"
Whats it all about?" asked Mr..
Hennessy. why shu3 annywan want
to go to tn North Pole? Amt it cold
enough here? o.
Il niver cud quite make it out" said
Mr. Dooley. I've heerd tell that years
ago, befure tn fire or tn war. some
wan had an idee in his foolish head
that they was a gran sea up there
with blue. wather dimplin' in tn moon
light an cocynut threes CROWN on tn
shore an if a man cud on'y get in with
his boat, he cud sail around tn wur-
ruld an fetch up in Chiny. That idee
blew up an thin some wan said 'twud
be a fine thing FIR science if a white
man cud get to tn North Pole. What
he'd do if he got there no wan has
amy thought. Accordin to what l
hear tn North Pole amt like a lilly
graft pole, barber pole, fishin' pole
a clothes pole, polecat, a poll tax,
Naypole, Russhyan Pole or amy
thing that We can see, smell or ate
Win We get to it it is no diff'rent
firm bein' anywhere on tn ice. TIL
on'y way We know ye're there is be
consultin' pocket arithmetic, a watch
an a compass. Don't get it into ye'er
head that if me frind Baldwin or Peary
liver whit north iv Milwaukee an come
acrost tn North Pole they'd carve
their names on it or hist a flag over it
or bring it home with thin on a thruck
an set it up on tn lake front. TIL
north pole is gigantic column iv cold
air, some says hot, an an enthusyas-
tic explorer that wasn't lookin where
he wint might pass right through lit
without KNOWN.
In tn 'arly days whin an explorer
whit off to find tn Pole, he bought
h1msilf a sheepskin coat, couple iv
dogs, pair iV skates, an a bottle
iv picked onions an set out bravely
an tn people watched tn family to
see what other form tn lunacy wud
take. Afther awhile he ayether come
back or he didn't. Sometimes tn Es-
queemo lady didn't care to lave her
pleasant home in tn land iv perpet-
chool blubber, an in that case tn
hardy mariner remained in tn frozen
North. niver cud see tn advantages
tv life in tn Arctic regions. 'Tis thrue
sleep is wan iv tn sports that age
hasn't deprived me iv. 1t mus be a
gr-reat country FIR burglars. But FIR
plain wurrukin' man it's very thry-
in. Think iv a six months wurrukin'
day. Ye get ye'er breakfast at sun
up in March an we don't set down to
dinner till tn first iv June Thin
comes a long afternoon an l till We
whin tn whistle blows at o'clock Oc-
f0har a JVn1nnf1nn CT, IT, D.,
ye'er ears. Ye go home an all tn
childher has growed up an tn news
In tn mornin pa-aper is six months
old. Ye lie around readin' an playin'
cards FIR month or two an thin We
yawn an set tn alarm clock FIR March
an says Nah, it's TIL fifteenth Nv No
vimber, an time tn c&ildher was abed,'
an go to sleep. About Christmas TIL
good woman wakes We up to look FIR
tn burglar, an afther we've padded
around in TIL ice foe FIR a week, We
climb back into bed grumblin', an so
to sleep again. Afther awhile we snore
an tn wife iv ye'er bosom punches
ye What time is it, says We. It's a
quarther past tn fifteenth iv Janoo-
ary' says she, AN that siren iv yeers
has been goin' sinve New Years day.
AT March we ARE aroused be tn
alarm clocks an we go out to feed thu
seals, an | tell We, We need a shave.
1t mus be a quare Sinsation to wake
up in tn mornin' an find that TIL
kid We tucked into bed tn night be-
fure has grown sidewhiskers in his
sleep an his feet has pushed out TIL
foot iv tn cradle. Not FIR my money,
Hinnissy. TIL Arctic regions FIR thin
that likes thin, but give me a land
where we don't tell tn time iv day be
the almynac.
But other people is diff'rent. TIL
boldest Arctic explorer is a man that's
made his money out iv sillin' base
burnin' shtoves an has chllblains in
July. Such a man is niver continted
