Well, Wild Flower, we did not care
for you calling us an old man,as we
have never pretended to be young
for oh, so many many years. But
bless your heart, dear, we are no
old bachelor, and Mrs. Bildad did
not appreciate your remark half as

she does not feel so old. But we
think we enjoyed glimpse of you.
Hello, Uncle Andy. Never think
that yours and Violet's inoffens1ve
joke concerning kissing Barleycorn
has bluffed us. No, indeed, we en-
joyed it, for we know if such thing

we could, for two bits, get Aunt
Rilda (the negro cook) to smack
him for us, see?
We did not get to attend the fair,
but dear John we have prepared a
short poem entitled "Barleycorn
at the Fair which we will send in

ms? If you all say so we will be
glad to send it.

PEARY SELECTS A ROUTE.
VIII Make Another Attempt to Reach
the Mysterious North Pole.
Springfield Republican.

Commander r. E. Peary. United States
navy, the arctic explorer, in an address at
Washington Saturday night before the Ma
tional Geographic Society, or that city, as
cussed plans for his next expedition to the
north pole. He said that the possible routes
to the north pole have dw1ndled TO three,
and in his own personal opinion to only two.
He advocated the Smith sound, or Amer
lean route" that Is, along the west coast OF
Greenland to the north Of Kennedy sound,
thence to still higher latitude than that
reached by the Alert on Grant land. Inc
other two routes were the drift method
adopted by hansen and the so-called Franz
Josef land route. Regarding the former Mr..
Peary said that for four or five years, at
least, ship and people must be but a helpless
bit of fiotsam, entirely at the mercy OF the
ice in which they are drifting, and practi-
cally, unable to control their own fortunes
or contribute by their efforts to success.
presumably" he said, "Nansen and Sver-
drup are advocates of this route, yet neither
has, to my knowledge, expressed a desire to
repeat the experience OF the FRAN S voyage.
Bernier is reported as contemplating a repe-
! tition of the voyage. Abruzzis is the only
expedition by the Franz Josef route that has
pushed beyond the northern limit OF the
Franz Josef archipelago. He, however, un-
compromisingly advocates the Smith sound
route
In disagreeing with the opinion of the
president of the Royal Geographical Society
of London after Nansen's voyage, that we
have practically reached the north pole and
know all that is necessary to know about
It, Commander Peary SAID. IWo nunureu
and sixty miles from the pole is a long
way from the actual attainment of the
pole, and to assert that the secret of the
pole has been penetrated and the veil lifted
at that range and the economics Of the po-
lar basis have been revealed when 100000
square miles Of II have not been trodden by
human foot or seen by human eye is an en-
thusiastic view" Commander Peary said
the attainment Of the south pole is only a
matter of time and PATIENCE that the work
can be carried on any season, and every
mile of advance can be permanently secured,
while the attainment Of the north pole
means to refine and perfect ones equipment,
supplies and party so as to cover 500 miles
each way without caches and without sup
port from the country, and to cover this dis
| lance In the time limit of three, or. at most,
| three and one-half months. Commander
| Peary pleaded for immediate financing of
| the expedition from private sources. He
urged that an expedition which, in his opin-
| ion in all probability would secure the pole
| can be fitted out for two years at a cost of
| $4,000. the only expensive item being a
powerful ship to push him to the northern
| shore Of Grant land.

TEA AND COFFEE DRUNKENNESS.
Theory That These Beverages Have
Connection with Use OF Alcohol.


In the annual report of the Chiidren's
Aid Society OF New York is published tab
ulated list of the conditions or famllleS
whose children attend the industrial schools
OF the society. The number OF families whose
condition was investigated was 3453. ana
the family income of SCI was less than "a
per week; of 1,263, from 81 to ~; OF 1,szs.
from 81 to $40. In ALL the breakfast was
bread and coffee only; the supper, bread and
tea, with some cheese, macaroni or fruit.
Thus with all the terrible poverty the article
of diet that does not fail twice day is the
coffee or tea. Probably also I'm the dinner list
of many these drinks were included Surely
from the workmans dinner bucket the pint
or more of coffee is never omitted But the
point needing emphasis Is that I'm the report
referred to IL Is children who from earliest
years are drinking tea and coffee. what
proportion of the income OF these poor fam
lilies thus goes to the purchase or these
drinks is highly important concern, but Is
think as to the physiologic action or canein
IL is agreed that * is not "a food and that
the amount of money thus wasted by the
poor could and should be spent in buying
real health-bringing and Strengthening
foods. This economic aspect of the question
also becomes doubly important both as a
medical and financial matter when one nnds
these articles the dietaries OF all our
public institutions. Should so much or the
public money be spent on articles or drink,
nonfoods? And the custom has many bear
irsxs on health The more coffee and tea
drank the more tobacco Is used. The ma
tional consumption Of coffee and tea, more
over, rises almost accurately parl passu
with the amount Of alcohol used. is II not
true as a rule, that intemperance In the
one coexists with intemperance In the other !!
Is not the temperance problem closely bound
I'D with thise of the use OF coffee, tea ana
