Aander Peary was asked this morning as

that she will be able to make good tipe

finished I shall be ready to start"
Then you have raised sufficient funds
TO undertake your trip"
Not worried About Funds.
"The question of finances is not worry
ing me nearly so much as the question
of when my boilers win be ready. I may
have TO remain here a week. But when
the boilers have been installed and the
sail is IN place. then l shall up anchor
and set sail for Sydney. Cape Breton, as
quick as may be- There l shall AXE on

'Wu you strengthen the Roosevelt 60
that she will be better fitted to combat

"She couldn't be strengthened in that
respect. She is the strongest boat for
ice fighting ever built"
How long do you expect 20 remain
away?"
IF I find conditions as favorable us
they were last year l do not contemplate
remaining absent more than fourteen
months But to provide for every con-
tingency I shall take with me provisions

REPEATS LADY GODIYA'S RIDE
Coventry Streets the Scene Of Repre-
sentation of Historic Journey.
Actress, Clothed in Clouds of Gauze,
Seen by Crowd Estimated
at 100000.

Coventry, England, Aug Mounted
on a white palfrey and dec0rously clothed
in masses of hair, pink fleshings. and
clouds Of gauze, a modern Lady Godiva
to-day gave a representation Of the his
toric ride through the ciy's streets.
Coventry has been Lady Godiva mad
for months When a revival OF the pro
cession last witnessed in 1857 was first
mooted there were many who desired .
strict adherence 10 tradition, even 10 the
nudity OF Lady Godiva, but the anti
nudists effected a compromise. and a
vaudeville actress, whose speciality is to
display herself in groups Of living stat
uary. was engaged TO represent the his
toric benefa&ress Of Coventry.
The actress. who is said TO have com
planned that she could make half dozen
summer frocks out of the gauze she was
compelled 10 wear, took an hour and a
half TO arrange her trailing shair and
long draperies. and then a special COM
mittee had to approve Of her costume
before Lady Godlva was permitted to
take her place in the pageant.
Many of the local clergy who had been
preaching against the heshings as being
suggestive of nudity left the city tenn
p0rarily, but most OF the people Of the
county. and 5000 TO 10000 from the out
side, had a sight Of Lady Godlva as she
traversed the six-mile route. and OF the
splendid pageant of which she was the
central figure.
Lady GOdiva, who nourished about the
middle OF the eleventh century. was the
wife of Leofrio, Earl OF Chester. She
was a woman of great beauty and piety
and the benefactress Of many churches
and monasteries. According 10 the legend
Lady (GOdiva begged her husband 10 re-
lieye Coventry Of a burdensome tax. and
he consented 70 do so on the condition
that she should ride nude through the
market-piace This she did. covered only
by her long hair, and thus won relief for
the people. According 10 some versions
of the story the people were commanded
to keep within their houses while Lady
Godiva passed, and only one man dis
obeyed. and he was miraculously stricken
blind.

The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1907-01-24

1t will he your fault not ours, if
you do not receive the Magazine Sec
ton after January. The last two
years of the Reviews history were
largely devoted to building up the
physical equipment OF the Office. We
now have an almost model plant.
This year is to be given to the up
building of the Review proper. We
are going to give you the best county
seat newspaper published in the
United States. At least we are going
to try mighty hard. We have a theory
that the people know a good thing
when they see it and will give that
kind of paper their hearty support.
We are going to make determined
effort to introduce the Review into
every home in Crawford county. We
ask every subscriber to help us. If
you believe the Review is a good
paper. just loosen up and say SO to
your neighbor. Futher if you know
of any news that ought to be in the
Review. let us know about it.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1907-01-24
is sELF-CoNDEMNED.

Last year the editor of the Bulletin
solemnly certified to the board OF
supervisors that the Bulletin had 1892
subscribers residing in Crawford
county. This year the Bulletin as
solemnly asserts that it has l43E
subscribers residing in Crawford
county. The last issue of the Bull
letin announces that on account of the
piano contest $50 new names were adj
ded to it's list. The Review would
make no insinuations. far from it.
but we are reminded of that ancient
campaign story of the speaker who
quoted from various utterances anc
concluded that in his opinion "some
democrat had been lying within the
last thirty minutes.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1907-01-24

The Review has already opened
negotiations to secure it's Magazine
Section for 1908. We must con-
fess that we have been agreeably sur
prised with the Magazine up to date.
We know also from the expressions
of our readers that they are appreciat-
ing it also. 1t is as good thing of
its kind as we have ever seen. and is
much better than the vast majority
of the magazines that find large cir
culation at price of from SO cents to
S1.OO per year. We believe that the
Magazine Section will take strong
hold upon the family of each subscrib-
er. We believe the women of the
home will like 1T and the children
learn TO watch eagerly for its COM
ing. When newspaper has the
women and the children for its friends,
nothing on earth can stop it. No
mere man has any say in the matter.
Then issuance of this Magazine Sec
tion will relieve the columns of the
Review from any particular attempt
at literary features and we can devote
our entire space to giving the news
of the county. We want to send this
Magazine to every Review subscriber.
1t is considerable added expense
however and we cannot afford to send
it except to those subscribers who
show their appreciation by paying
their subscription promptly. We
do not believe there is reader of the
Review who cannot afford to do this.
We believe our readers will enjoy the
paper more if they know that it is
paid for. and we believe it is far
easier to pay for it year at time
than to let it run unit the amount
grows large. The subscription price,
81. so is the minimum for SO good a
paper as the Review. We know of
dozens of papers that do not begin
to give the people the same amount
of news. that charge the same price.
