Mrs. Pedry's Voyage.

Within the present week several
Arctic exploring expeditions viii
set ont. but to Americans none Is
invested with as much human in
terest as that Of which Mrs. Peary
is the central figure, For Wash
ugtonians, among whom this eour-
aeous little woman has long been
q familiar sight. even more than
general interest attaches to her
undertaking. Mrs. Peary is no
stranger to the perils and hard
ships Of the arctic regions, but,
on the other hand, it is not i'm
possible that she eontemplates
those inhcspnabIe latitudes even
with an affectionate and a senti-
mental regard, for 1t was there
that her little daughter first saw
the light. And now there IS to
her the incentive Of meeting her
gallant husband who has tried re-
peatedIy to make his way to the
pole. Though not successful in
this venturc-as no one before
him has been-Lieutenaut Peary
has contributed much that is vaIu-
able to the stock Of the worlds
knowledge On the subject Of the
arctic zone.
There are few women who would
venture upon such a voyage, nor
would men blame them if they de-
elined or hesitated to tempt Provi-
dence in such an undertaking. But
Mrs. Peary seems to be made of
sterner stuff than the majority of
her sisters, and one cannot with
hold admiration and applause
from wife who readily braves
such dangers 10 bring back to his
native land her husband and the
father Of her child. May winds
and waves favor her on her quest
ID may the good ship Windward
bear her and hers safely back to
her country and friends.

OUEEREST OF GAMBLING OAMES

Who or what is this "Lloyds'' that
figures almost daily in the cable dis

puzzling deeply over the question since it
was announced that the concern had in

cargoes in transit
There were seventy-nine members OF
this original Lloyds. and their method
was to risk a certain sum on the safe
arrival of an incoming OF outgoing vessel
IF the ship reached port safely, the
merchants who had assumed part Of the
risk received percentage of the profits
in accordance with the amount they had
agreed to pay in the event Of disaster
From this coffee house origin grew
the immense association known today
simply as "Lloyds." numbering nearly a

The Jewish Chautauqua Of the
United States. which commenced It's
sixth anniversary session on Sunday
last at Atlantic City, deserves more
than a passing notice. While it Is a

the National Chautauqua movement.

movement. separate and distinct mo-

been TO infuse into the movements of
