WHISTLE!

AS boy when coming homeward,
When the sun had said Good night"
Just before the stars were shining,
When the road was scarce In sight,
When the woods seemed thickly peopIed
When the seconds dragged like years.
Did you whistle through the darkness
Just to drown your mounting fears?
When the owls had Joined in hooting,
Sending down your back the chills:
When the silence fell upon you,
Rousing weird and ghostly thrills;
When the prancing, dancing phantoms,
Chased each other here and there;
Did you whistle through the darkness.
That you might not seem to care?
When upon life's homeward journey,
Shadows fall across the way;
When the seeming dangers threaten,
When tbs neither night nor day;
When the hours with fears are freighted
When the road is scarcely plain;
Whistle! Whistle through the darkness;
Whistling is not always vain.
Whistle, man, and whistle loudly
Make the world with music ring;
Never mind the tune you whistle,
Whistlet Whistle anythingi
Phantoms vanish when you whistle,
Half the dangers disappear;
Whistle. then! Oh. whistler Whistler
You at least can conquer fear.

of war. After returning from the cam
paign he became lieutenant colonel of the
Seventy-frst regiment, New York volun-

The secretary of the Arctic club, at
New York, has authorized the statement
that six automobiles for Arctic travel are
now in course of construction. These
power vehicles are said to be similar TO
one that has been used with success by
a letter carrier in Alaska, who travels
over the ice. and if necessary takes to
the water. From descriptions of Arctic
conditions given by Commander Peary
and other explorers, and from actual
photographs. of the Arctic ice foes it is
evident that an automobile will have
about as much chance of getting to the
pole as would college crew in paper
shell racing boat. The automobiles which
are said to be under construction should
he equipped for diving SO that they can
go under or over the ice or under or over
the water.

Their leave of absence, and will sail for
the north as soon as the Roosevelt can
be fitted out and provisioned for the
voyage. This quick return is proof of
the sincerity of the famous Arctic ex-
plorer, who stated whenSSa Milwaukee,
last winter that his failure in the spring
of 1906 was due to the fact that the
winter preceding had been abnormally
warm. With an average winter, the ice
pack will continue strong enough during
the greater part of the summer to make
a dash to the pole comparatively safe,
so far as ice conditions are concerned.
In Commander Peary's opinion, the
main problem of the journey across the
ice is the provisioning of his party.
