 "If you was running a museum you would" said MT Smith. There ain't but one north pole in the world. just one, and when you've got that one you have got all that's to be got. Didn't old Job Holcomb get $40 for his two headed chicken? And goodness knows how many two headed chickens there Is matched every year. But there ain't but one north pole. I bet a museum would give s10,o00 to have the only north pole. I'd pay ten cents myself to go and see 1t. And that ain't all. guess the government maybe offers a prize to the man that finds it.'
 T should hope the government ain't so foolish," said Mrs Smith.

Amt men going out to find the north pole every year. some in boats and some in balloons and some in automo- piles and every which way, and getting lost and frozen to death and starved to death? And as long as the north pole aint found and brung back here people will keep on going for 1t and getting frozen to death. And when government sees all them good citizens going off that way it makes govern IDtHt blcks anu it hnOWS NhO ohiy way to stop 1t Is to hurry up and 1t the pole discovered and have it over and done with.

There ain't nobody been within half an inch of that pole, nor ever see it, nor ever touched 1t, and yet here it Is marked down on this map! That shows now accurate this book is. Nobody knows where that north pole is or how 1t may have shifted around and yet you fellers go and mark it on the map, just to make the map look complete. If was getting up map like this I would wait until somebody found out where the north pole was. or whether there was one at all, before I marked 1t on the map I don't say I am stuck on the north pole myself or care where it is, but if I buy a book I want to have faith in the book. and not buy one where things Is jabbed into it re- gardless, just so you can say it has got everything in the world in 1t.

STRIKE BREAKERS

Trenton. N. j.. Aug. 2.-The State Fed
Grafton of Labor was called upon yester-
day to consider n resolution instructing
the legislative committee to seek the pas
sage OF bill which should make II the
duty of chiefs OF police to investigate the
characters and records OF strike breakers.
and In case these should be found to be
bad, To order them TO Immediately leave
the cities In which they were working.
The resolution had some supporters. but
was lost after one OF the delegates said
that unless the law was made broad
enough to include all workingmen II
would he special legislation and therefore
unconstitutional. When this view OF the
case was presented the enthusiasm was
lessened noticeably.
Another resolution was designed To
bring about a condition under which en-
ployers should not be allowed to discrimi-
nate against aged workmen simply be-
cause they could not work as fast as
younger men. This was amended by the
committee by recommending that all anil
lated organizations adopt n superannuated
wage list fixing a rate for old men. In
that form II was passed.

CHILD SAW
RObBER, BUT
DID NOT TELL

Bar Harbor. Me-. Aug. 21.-A daring
robbery was perpetrated here Monday
night. At about half past 7 o'clock.
while the family was at dinner. a
robber entered Donaque. the cottage
OF Mr.. and Mrs. A. Howard Hinkle,
of Cincinnati, and carried away about
$4,000 worth of jewelry.
The thief made his entrance by
means of a porch at one side OF the
houes and went into the rooms OF Mr.
Hinkle, Mrs. Hinkle and Mrs. ingalls,,
removing the jewelry that he found
on the several bureaus. He overlooked
several valuables that would have ma
terially increased the value OF his haul
The thief was seen by the young
daughter OF Mrs. ingalls,, but the lit
tie girl did not speak OF the matter
until the next morning, when the arr
ticles were missing. The stolen valu-
ables included a gold watch, several
scarf pins, pearl and gold studs and
cuff buttons, chains, pearl and
amethyst pin, a gold pin set with sap
phires. three diamond bar pins, bar
pins set with pearls and emeralds and
jewelled baby pins.
