That North Pole.

The unapproachable north pole has
been a nuisance about long enough.
It has caused innumerable chilblains.
bronchitises and disappointments,
much popular boredom and not a. few
deaths, to say nothing of the financial
waste, says the Boston Transcript.
Nobody gets there, for by the time a
fellow comes within something like
200 miles of it the hardship has
turned him into another kind Of man
the sort that reneges. This may
20 on indefinitely unless we find way
to cut it Short and that isn't easy. It
has recently been suggested that if
some one should absent himself for
awhile and then come back and say
he had climbed the pole, the agony
would abate. Science would overhaul
his data and find lacunae in it. The
search for the pole would be re-
newed. Besides, there's the south
pole. Divert attention from the arctic
quest and you encourage the antarctic
uuest-which is by far more bother
some and uncomfortable and ipjnri-
Gus.
Warren sheaf., 1907-01-10
SURPRISED the Justice,

A magazine editor was talking about
w. w. Jacobs, the famous humorist.
'T went abroad this summer" he
said, ito try and get Mr.. Jacobs tc
write for me, but 1 found he had all
he could do for six or seven years tc
come.
''He is quiet, modest chap. When
I praised his wonderful skill in the
writing of short stories he said that it
was only their surprises that made his
stories take.
'"Then, to illustrate what he meant
he told me a story wherein the sur
prises came fast and furious
''ie said that a lawyer defending a
man accused of houSe-breaking spoke
like this:
"'Your honor, T submit that my
client did not break into the house at
all. He found the parlor window open
and merely inserted his right arm and
removed a few trifling articles. Now
my clients arm is not himself and
fail to see how you can punish the
whole individual for an offense com
mltted only by one of his limbs
"'That argument said the judge
is 7ery we'll put. Following it logical
ly, sentence the defendants arm tc
one years imprisonment He can &C
company it or not as he chooses
"The defendant smiled, and with hfs
lawyers assistance unscrewed his
cork arm, and, leaving it on the dock
walked out"
Warren sheaf., 1907-01-10
ON A BUSINESS BASIS.
Buyers Conscience Would Not Allow
Him to Take Present

. Martio Van Camp, Wholesale
poulterer Of Omaha, was talking the
other day about buyers.
MY salesmen," he said, would al
waya prefer to deal directly with the
heads of firms instead OF with buyers
With the heads everything always, is
open and aboveboard. But in the
ease of buyers, anything one does
seems to smack Of triekeay and de-
ceit.
"A certain New York buyer for a
big firm ordered from a salesman of
mine last week a large consignment
OF turkeys. The salesman, pleased
with the order, took the buyer box
Of 100 expensive cigars. 1t was an
honorable enough performance, but
the buyer, when the present was of,
fered to him, got mad.
"'Look OUT he said, warningly.
None of that. You can't bribe me,
you know
''The salesman was vexed, but he
put a good face on the matter.
"'Bribe your he exclaimed Why,
man, you must be crazy. Who wants
to bribe you? This was a simple lit.
tie present, the same as I've made fire.
quently to your employer. But if you
won't have it as a present, why, buy
it from me. Give me quarter for it. y
"The buyers suspicious vanished
He searched his pockets.
ct haven't got a quarter he said
I've got nothing less than this hall
dollar
"'And T. said the salesman, hop
ing after all that he wouldn't have to
take the buyers money-'and haven't
got a cent of change
But the buyer nevertheless thrust
the half dollar on him.
Keep it ALL he said, and you can
bring me another box on your next
triD.'"
