HASN'T SHAVED FOR IS YEARS.
Iowa Man Now Has Whiskers Seven
Feet Long.

Council Bluffs, Iowa, James w.
Main, a farmer residing near Glen
wood, was in Council Bluffs recently
and attracted much attention.
Main has whiskers seven feet long,
the result of 35 years Of uninterrupt-
ed growth. He is now more than 70
years old. T~hirty-five years ago he
says he grew tired of shaving and
swore he would never shave again. In
a few years his whiskers reached his
waist, and he concealed them under
his coat. Then they reached his knees
and he had to button his vest and
trousers over them.
When he unfurls the giant growth
he looks a picture Of old Father
Time. Main has never had a sick
day since he began to let his whiskers
grow.

.PEARY SHY FUNDS
MAY HAVE TO ABANDON DASH TO
THE NORTH POLE.
ASKS ASSISTANCE FROM PUBLIC
Believes Money Could Be Raised by
School Children or Patriotic
Subscription.

New York-Lack of money-about
$50, 000--to finance the expedition
may mean the abandonment of the
dash to the north pole which Conn
mander Robert e. Peary has planned
for this summer. The explorer, who
has earned the distinction of having
reached the farthest north" and who
may truly be said to live for the pur-
pose of revealing to the world the
mysteries of the pole itself, is deeply
downcast at the possibility that he
may not be able to try again.
This is a work which | must do,
a work, a great work-for which ]
was intended" said Commander Peary
to a representative o. the press. He
was not boastful, but modest in man
ner, and with the simplicity of speech
of a man convinced that he was born
for this great purpose, and that he
must accomplish it. And with a con
idence that his work must be helped
from somewhere, he added:
THE money will come; somehow
feel certain of that. But if / was only
assured now, what a relief it would be
and how l could concentrate I'll my
energies on the details of the expedi
ton.
Remember, we were but 174 nauti
cal miles from the goal or our last
trip. 1t would be a pity, indeed, If we
could not try again.
Expedition Needs $4,000.
Peary wants to start from New York
the latter part of June. His ship, the
Roosevelt, which proved her worth on
the last expeditio mis- now being pre-
pared for the next attack on the north
ern ice fields. But the greater part
of the $40,0 already subscribed will
be spent in repairing the boat, and
$50, 900 more will be needed for gen
eral expenses. The Peary Arctic club
of which Morris K. Jesup is president
is caring largely for the refitting OF the
Roosevelt, and it has issued an appea'
for contributions from the people Of
the United States, so that a total Of
500, 900 may be raised.

LIFE OF A FUGITIVE

HOPES THUS TO GAIN A PARDON
Honesty and Industry for Years Ad'
Vanced as Reason for Execu-
tive Clemency.

L~eavenworth, Kas.-William Janu-
airy, otherwise known as Charles w.
Anderson, has made a detailed report
to Major R. w. McClaughry, warden
of the federal penitentiary, covering
his whereabouts Aand employment in
the nine years of his liberty.
The statement of January opens by
telling how he and another prisoner,
Walter A. AXton, escaped on the
night of Oct. 8, 1898. After scaling
the wall they walked toward Atchison
and hid in the timber the next day,
reaching Atchison the second night.
There they separated, and January
caught q freight train, thus making his
way to Wichita.
Three days after arriving in Wich-
tia January found that AXton had fol
lowed him, and they left there togeth-
er and got work in a rock quarry at
Winfield, They worked there for two
months, when Axton either accident
ally shot himself or committed suicide
with a revolver. January worked in
the quarry another month.
Early in 1899 January says he start
ed to sell tea and coffee. He travelled
through southern Kansas, part of Mis-
souri, and into Oklahoma with a MAI
who owned a horse and light wagon.
This he did for more than a year, and
then went to Kansas City, where he
solicited for an insurance company,
saving his money, and later engaged
in the same business for himself for
more than two years. This was fol
lowed by employment with the Met
ropolitan Street Railway Co. for over
a wear.

Close elections ore not uncommon
IN any representative government, but
it is not often that one constituency
is SO closely divided for SO long a
time as the parliamentary division of
North Tyrone, in Ireland. In the last
five elections, beginning with that in
1892, the total number of votes cast
has varied less than 400. The largest
majority at any election was 81, says
Youths Companion. Once it was SIS
and once 40. Nine was the majority
of the Liberal candidate in 1906, and
seven of his successor at the by
election in March of this year.
