Washington, oct. 25.-Robert E. Peary,
in an address 10 the members Of the Ma
tiOnal Geographic Society last night, put
forward his polar expedition in the shape
I of a national sporting proposition. He
hopes TO organize among loyal and pa
triotic citizens a syndicate to nit the
North Pole
This Is the way he appealed TO his hear
ers:
-'on my plan and with nv methods an
expedition. which. in all probability. would
reach the pole. can be fitted out for two
years at cost Of Sl500Oo. The only ex-
pensive item in that outfit will be pow
erfu ship, which shall push me TO the
northern shore OF Grant Land.
SPORTING PROPOSITION.
There are hundreds OF men IN this cOun-
try to-day who could defray the expenses
OF an expedition and never feel it; thou
sands who could defray a tenth, hundreds
Of thousands who could defray a hun
drsdth.
I'VE have spent and are spending hun
! dreds Of thousands OF dollars for an idea
or principle. Take a single example-the
international yacht race cost the American
side alone Was in the nelghborhood OF
$4,000 and that It cost US to defend the
cup in the last five years some S220OO OOO.
For less than one-fourth OF the former
sum, less than ons-tenth OF the latter. we
| can get the pole And how do the races
I conpareT The races for the America 5
Cup have been in progress for tens Of
years between two nations; the race for
the pole hundreds Of years between prac-
| ticalIy all the nations Of the civilized
world.
The syndicate that hts the pole will
have no successor and can never be
a matter Of to-day: the winning of the
pole Is for all time
rs It worth while? Certainly il is worth
while As a matter OF the Valuable ad-
ditions to geography and science. it is
worth while. The head of the Smith
Sound Route IS the one point from which
can be reached and welded the links still

NATTER OF PRESTIGE
''As a matter OF prestige It is worth
while. AbTuzzi's expedition. costing 500

kEENAN'S CHARGE.

oh, tell not of Leonidas and the pass he
guarded WELL
Where with his brave three hundred so
long ago he fell
Why search through misty ages for deeds
of daring high?
The men who charged with Keenan, have
taught us how to die.
Through every vein the life-blood pulsed
with rythmic ebb and flow
Before them stretched the happy years, IL
lumined by hopes bright glow.
Yet, with one breath lifes MONDAY sun
was stricken from their sky
Think you they heard unmoved the word
which doomed them then 10 Gle?
Theirs not the hope even valor craves-to
win hard-fought fray;
Knowing their graves before them yawned,
they sped along the way;
No falterng hand n charger checked, al
though full we'll they knew,
With every step their life's short span of
seconds shorter grew.
Sleep sweetly. o. We heroes! When Eng
lish bards shall tell
How Nolan and his soldiers at BalaklaVa
fell,
Well show them where you charged alone,
an army on its way,
And say: Here died their brothers-as
true, as brave as they"

une.

NOT A MAN MOVED.

ing on Stone river, came suddenly on
the rear guard of the enemy. Our COM
pany was marching at the time in two
ranks in the middle of the white road,
while other companies and battalions
were in order of battle on either side
of the road. AS the advance, we were
pressing forward, not anticipating any
serious resistance, when we saw on a
rise in front of us, and beyond our
skirmishers and videttes, the flash of
brass field guns, going into position.
"a minute later three cannon balls
struck in quick succession on the road
not three feet to the left of the cen
ter of our company as it halted in two
IA nix formation, extending back along
the pike. Everyone was taken by sur
prise by the suddennessand the vicious
ness of the attack, but not man
moved. The man nearest the spot
where the shot struck the hard, Inacad-
amiZed road, and whose face and
and clothes were covered with the
dust and gravel thrown up, looked
neither to the right nor the left, but,
Strengthening his figure, stood at at
tention, facing squarely to the front.
The next shot might strike him, and
it might come in an iastant, but in
stinctively he faced the danger, what
| ever it was.
"The colonel, not 20 feet away, no.
| ticed the bearing of the men with a
| CLEAN of pride in his eyes, and then
said, in matter-of-course way:
They have your range, men. Move
off the road before they fire again
The men moved deliberately to the
line of fence on the roadside, and a
minute later three more cannon balls
We're planted just where the company
had stood, and again my stolid man
faced to the front, and said, uneX-
citedly: There they go. They have
skedaddled.' Four days later l saw this
same man in the panic hour of days
battle and in the midst of the terror
and confusion he stood, stolidly facing
the front, and other men fleeing from
crumbling lines, aligned themselves
upon him.
$50 it happened that he became the
center of a new line, of desperate fight
ers looking for something to rally
upon, for something to cling to in the
storm of battle, for somebody who
would stand against the pursuing en-
emy. He stood and they stood, and
later it became habit with all of them
when confronted by danger to face as
he faced that day, and to confidently
wait developments. The boy who faced
the smoke on the day of our small ex'
plos:,on was the youngest son of my
stolid soldier friend, and my theory is
that he did as he did because it was in
his blood to do it, and that the instinct
of facing to the front in time of danger
will go down to his sons and grand
sons,

CAPTURED HIS cAPToR.

this remarkable story is yet to be told.
A few months after this Lieut.. Paine
was in Washington, where he learned
that the officer whose life he had so
gallantly saved had been taken pris-
oner by the union forces and was then
confined in the Old Capitol prison.
Paine visited his friendly foesat once,
and supplied all his wants, except his
want of liberty. The gallant Maine
cavalryman visited Gen. Martindale,
then in command of Washington, and,
telling his story, interested him at
once in the prisoner. The conse-
quence was that Capt. Henry was pa
rolled and allowed to return to the
south.
These gallant young soldiers fought
on opposite sides till the war was end
ed, when they sought each other out
and since then their relationship has
been that of brothers between whom
no sign of strife has ever passed.

A GALLANT DEEDS RETURN.
An Act of Splendid Courage Amply
Rewarded and the Lifelong
Friendship 1t Made.

In the movement of Stoneman's
cavalry in the fall campaign of 1862,
the advance was led by Lieut.. Paine
of the First Maine cavalry.
Being separated by a considerable
distance from the main body, Paine's
command unexpectedly encountered
vastly superior force of the south
ern troops, and his whole party were
taken prisoners.
They were hurried off as rapidly
as possible, to get them out of the
way of the advancing union forces,
and in crossing a deep and rapid
stream, Capt. Henry, commanding
the confederate guards, was swept
off his horse, and being unable to
swim, sank at once, relates the Amer
lean Tribune.
His own men We're so bewildered
that they did not make a move to save
him, But Lieut.. Paine showed that
misfortune had neither deprived him
of courage nor of presence of mind.
Quick as a flash, he threw off his coat,
plunged into the current, and, seiZing
the drowning man, he swan with him
to the shore, and thus literally cap
tured his captor.
Paine was sent to Richmond with
the rest of the prisoners, and the facts
being made known to Gen. Fitz-
Hugh Lee, he wrote a statement of
them to Gen. Winder, then provost
marshal at the confederate capital.
Winder ordered the instant release of
Lieut.. Payne, without even parole,
promise or condition. The lieuten-
ants sword was even returned to
him, and a guard of hon nor, with flag
of truce, gave him safe conduct to the
| lines of his friends.
Men capable of such splendid conduct
should never have had cause to fight
each other; but the strangest part of

saved by Prayer.

Two small children of a friend of
ours were chased across field one
day by ferocious COW, and in telling
about the escape, the little girl said:
1--WE were saved, mamma, in answer
to a prayer. / told Tommy to pray as
we ran, and he said he didn't remember
any prayer, so l told him to say what
pape says at breakfast. So he shouted:
For what we are about to receive,
make us truly thankful Then we
crawled under the fence and were
saved."-Little Chronicle.
