have him come out as an independent
candidate for mayor of Boston, with the
object OF securing cheaper gas for that

regarded her husbands friend. Ger
tain criticisms in the book In regard
to her husbands lack Of preparation
for his last sortie into the unknown
was particularly resented. While Mr..
Hubbard's family acknowledged pub
licly the service Wallace performed
for his friend on the Ill fated expedi-
tion and absolved him from all
blame, he was never forgiven by Mrs.
Hubbard for what she considered the
desertion Of her husband.
When on May 80, 1905, Wallace
told of his intention OF taking up
the work of exploring Labrador
where Hubbard left 1t, the announce
ment was made that Mrs. Hubbard
had already made her preparations
for a similar Journey, not in the
cause of science. but to substantiate
her own theory of her husbands
death.
The first sign OF the rivalry OF the
two parties came in the report that
George Elson, the half breed Cree In
dian who had acted as guide for tho
Hubbard.
After four months of successful
exploration she came back supplied
with information that will undoubt-
edly cause the Canadian govern
ment to order its typographical
board to draw up a new map of this
wild region.
She witnessed the annual migra-
ton of the countless thousands of
caribou, a spectacle which the unciv-
iliZed savages of Labrador only have
before been privileged to witness.
She saw the rushing rivers coated
with Ice in August and shivered be-
meath the blasts of snow and Icy
sleet that transform night into day
In these weary solitudes.
She discovered a new river which
she may yet be given the honor of
naming. She traced this river from
It's source to its mouth, and only she
and the intrepid Indian guides who
accompanied her know the fearful
perls that beset those who may
in future attempt to navigate It.
Mrs. Hubbard disproved the gen.
eral belief that the Indians whom
she found near the big lakes In the
interior never visit the coast, saying
that they occasionally go out to
trade and barter. She said both the
Nascauppee and the band of the
Montagnais tribe were startled
when she appeared among them, but
accorded her royal treatment.
She says: Il have secured to the
name of my husband the honor of
having been the first white person to
traverse these rivers and furnish a
correct map"

zine, had left New York for the pur-
pose OF discovering tho Nascaupee
Indians, who had never seen a white
man, and OF exploring the wilderness

man had ever been, little attention
was paid to the report. When six
months later the story of the ANA
teur explorers heroic struggle with
the wilderness, which resulted In his
death, made It's way back to civiliza-
tlon, the world he had left behind
him came to an immediate realiza-
tion of the difficulty of his attempt.

latter could go no farther left him

he went to seek aid. Wallace never
again found the spot whore he had

STERN CODE OF THE HINDUs.
Ideal Of TruthfuIness Held High ana
Carefully Practiced.

CareIuIly PractCed.
Absolute self-mastery is the ideal OF
a Hindu, writes Swami Abhedananda
In Good Housekeeping. Every man and
woman in India struggles hard to ac-
complish it by practcing austerities,
fasting and various kinds of devotional
exercises. The householder is not sup
posed TO indulge in the desires of the
flesh. lie should practice moderation
in eating and drinking. He should
hold the ideal of simple living and
practice it in his daily life The Hindu
men and women are not allowed to
drink liquors, and the higher the social
rank the more rigorous becomes the
law of self-restralnt
The majority of the Hindus live
strictly upon vegetarian diet, and do
not eat animal flesh. They do not kill
animals for food, and they train their
children to practice this virtue of nom
killing. They do not believe that low
er animals are created to sustain hui
man life; but on the contrary, they
hold that in the process of evolution
the life of the lower animal is as inn
portant as that of the human being.
There are many families in India
whose ideal is to sacrifice everything
for the sake of truth, because they be-
liovc that the eternal truth cannot be
realized by one who is not absolutely
trl hful.

for attendants and ingenious devices
for muilling the sound caused by the
motion of the train. 1t is not intended
