= F the present plans of Com
mander Peary are carried out
he will sail from New York in
the Roosevelt on July next
on his expedition TO the North
Pole. Pesry made this announce
ment the other day in his hotel in
New York as nonchaIantly as the
annual transatlantic tripper casu-
ally announces his usual summer
sojourn in Europe to friends at the
club.
The hopes and fears of the man
on this perilous journey to frozen
zone were not echoed in his voice
or his manner. By no outward sign
did he indicate the dangers of that
long waste of barren ice fields,
with the heart-breaking marches,
the hunger gnawing at the vitals,
the worn. thin faces of the men,
the bowling of the blizzard, the
miserable camps, the discouraging
leads that flow like great rivers
through the fee, barring progress
and SCATTERING ambition, and the
ever-recurring fear that some de-
lay, some accident will make a real
ization of that always present
nightmare of the Arctic explorer
failurel
As Modest As Brave.
TIE DID not dwell upon these
~ dangers. Nor did he speak
bOastfully OF his hopes of sue
cess. Peary's modesty paral-
iels mis- bravery. AS an adjunct TO
these two traits is his clearheaded
GOODNESS. This attribute impresses IT
self on all who meet him and try 10
analyZe his character. As for Peary's
personaiity-the whole manner OF the
man denotes determination. He is of
Dig bone and muscular. something over
SIX ieet In height rather sparseIy
Dullt. active and full Of sinews. Al
though hfty-one years old he has the
appearance OF forty. His northern
trips have roughened his skin and i'm
parted to him an air OF vigor and r,ld-
diness.
HIS whole manner indicates the high
est type Of manliness and masculine
strength He is a man you would pick
out Of thousand as a leader. He Is
Just the nan you would select TO be
mas,er of the North. AS for. his own
conception OF the North. he has but
one idea-it is to be his conquest. He
IS sure of Il.
I should have reached the Pole"
said he calmly. If the supplies had
not fallen short at the psychologicaI
moment. There was the distance re-
duced TO a minimum that could have
been covered In a few more days. For
moment | was half inclined to haz-
ard the chances. TO risk all now that
the Pole seemed to be within my
reach. ] weighed the chances in my
mind. Then l came back.
He paused for a moment, seeming to
see that scene again before him Then
he continued slowly:

THE use Of tobacco is q luxury
No man should go in quest of the
North Pole who has TO depend on lux
uries. As for taking a nan with me
who is dependent on the use of tobacco
IN any fOrm-well. / should as soon
think of taking a man who mad TO

cIexer With the Cards.

Some years ago certain county jail
was undergoing extensive alterations.
curing which time gang Of pickpock-
sts, four In number, were arrested one
market day. Owing to the alterations
the lot were confined for a time In one
cell. but were placed under strict sur
veillance, the care Of them being spe-
cialg inrusted to the sergeant The
day after during his rounds he spied
them playing cards, when he promptly
opened the door and summoned a fol-
low constable, on whose arrival the
cell and the prisoners were most care
fully searched, but no cards were
found. However, the card playing still
continued until the day on which the
pickpoclkets were to be sent TO the as
sizes for trial. Then the superintand-
ent, very kind man, and a great ia
vorfte with every one, asked them as
a favor to tell him where they had hid
den the cards. They told him that as
soon as the sergeant and his comrade
entered their cell they stuck the pack
In his pocket and picked it again be-
fore he left, as a proof Of which they
presented him with the much used
pack.-Pearson's Weekly.

Resumes Business.

Senator Dryden has celebrated his re-
sumption of active business relations,
after some weeks of illness, by the pro
mitigation of resolutions passed by the
Board OF Directors of the Prudential In
surance Company granting concessions
Ibis year to policy-holders of far-reaching
Importance and of vast interest to the in
surance world. By an edict which goes
forth today every industrial policyholder
in the Prudential who has attained the
age OF 70 years will be presented with a
free or paid up policy for the full amount
OF the insurance. In other words, no fur
Their payment of premiums will be required
after the age limit of rs years has been
reached no matter how much longer the
insured may life
These concessions, says Senator Dry
den in explanation, will relieve, holders
OF a great many thousands of policies from
the payment of any further premiums,
costing the company over $3.50, 900, and a
continuance of this policy during the next
ten years, 1t is estimated, over three and
one quarter millions of dollars They
will, understand. affect proportionately
more policies than similar change in any
other industrial insurance company. They
are entirely voluntary; they are not the
result of any legislative action, present or
or prospective, but entirely in line with
the general practice of the Prudential to
benefit the policyholders in anything that
can be safely done beyond what the con-
tract calls for. The Company has already
made voluntary concessions in the form of
increased benefits, cash and mortuary
dividends. more liberal paid up policies,
ETC., of more than eight millions of dollars
and their continuance from year to year
will necessarily involve very large addi-
tons to- this amount
There has been much new legislation
upon the subject of life insurance and
many important measures have been
passed, while many others are still pend
ing. While it is too early to forecast the
future effect of the new laws, the Pruden-
tial may be relied upon to meet the stu
alton In a spirit of the utmost fairness
Not only has the Company always done
what it was legally required to do, but it
has gone far beyond the mere letter of
the law and in the most liberal spirit has
extended to the policyholders the privi-
ileges and advantages of one concession
after another In other words, the Com
pany has always tried to do more than the
law required and 1t may be relied upon to
continue to do so. In its final analysis
statute requirements at the best are a
declaration of broad and general princi-
pie of administration, and in the execu-
ton of details successful company must
necessarily be governed by higher law
than statute-a moral obligation which
calls for the most liberal treatment Of the
insured, compatible with safety"
