LAND OF THE THOUSAND DEAD.
The Polar Bear Is the Living Inhab-
liant of Spitxbergen.

The Polar Bear Is the Living Inhab-
liant of Spitzbergen.
The name of Spltzbergen has been
spoken oftener during the last few
months than for many long year.
The fact that the Wellman airship has
been building there is responsible for
Spitzbergen becoming something like a
household word. It's history is roman
tic.
During the most profitable period OF
the Dutch fishery, 162O-35, over 800
Dutch ships and more than $4,000 men
annually visited Spitzbergen; more
than $4,000 men were on the coast in
one summer. These conditions led to
Its summer colonization.
The most remarkable Of these estab-
where on a broad plain grew up the
astonishing village Of Smeerenberg.
Here, nearly within 10 degrees Of the
north pole, 20 degrees 80 minutes north,
for a score Of years prevailed an
amount Of comfort and prosperity that
can scarcely be credited by the visitor
Of to-day.
Several hundred ships, with more
than 10000 men, visited it annually.
These consisted not only Of the whal-
ers and land laborers, but Of the camp
followers who always frequent centers
Of great and rapid productivity.
In the train of the whalers followed
merchant vessels loaded with wine,
brandy, tobacco and edibles unknown
to the plain fare OF the hardy fishers.
Shops were opened, drinking booths
erected, wooden and even brick tile
covered houses constructed for the la
borers or visiting whalemen.
Even bakeries were constructed, and
as in Holland, the sound of the bakers
horn, sounding hot, fresh bread, drew
crowds Of eager purchasers. If reports
err not, even the Dutch frau Of 1880
was sufficiently enterprising to visit
Smeerenberg.
The shore fisheries soon failed (about
1640), and the Dutch being driven to
the remote and open seas Smeerenberg
fell into decadence; the furnaces were
demolished, tn copper cauldrons re-
moved and the tools and utensils of the
cooper and whaler disappeared; only
the polar bear remaining to guard the
ruins Of the famous Spitzbergen fair.
But human interest in Smeerenberg
did not pass away with its vanishing
inhabitants, for on the shores Of that
bay rest the last mortal remains of a
thousand stalwart fishers, who closed
their lives Of toll and struggle in view
Of the icy seas.

The Trout in His Lair.

Whoever has had the privilege OF
lying at full length on some messy
overhanging bank while watching a
large trout in his lair perceives that
true figure has yet to be drawn Of
him. Even photography can give no
hint Of the wavy circles from the
spotted dorsal fin undulating loosely
athwart the broad back, Of the perpet-
ual tanning of the pectoral fins, Of the
capacious gilIs opening and closing, the
half open round mouth, the luminous
brown eye, the ceaseless slow vibra-
zion Of the powerful tail, nor can pen
adequately describe the startling sud
denness Of the dart at some idle fly
touching the surface, the quick return
to the old position and the resumption
of the poise, with head elevated at
slight angle, pectorals all tremulous
and floating watery circles emanating
from every slight motion Of the body.
It is also worth while to watch trout

Of water, pause, tremble violently all
over, and in a moment throw himself
clear Of the stream and fall into the
basin above at an elevation of about
three feet more.-Arthur 2. Silver, in

ROBBER is TOO CLEVER.

Discovered in NIarinette POstOmce,
He Makes His Escape.
A bold attempt was made to burglarize
the East Marinette postofice early on a
recent morning. The combination Of the
safe had been fused when Officer Dalton
disturbed proceedings by demanding adj
mission at the back door. The burglar
made a sensational escape. He ran to
the front door, fired two shots from his
revolver, jumped through the large plate
glass window and ran across the street,
disappearing in an alley. Men in front
of the store were not armed and when the
burglar began his fusillade they fed in
all directions. A stranger, giving the
name of Harold Middleton, was arrested
later, charged with the crime, but no
evidence was found connecting him with
it.

will enforce the license to the letter. Not

selling beer in pals to minors, but to
adults as well, the license stating spe-
cifcally that it must be drank on the

agreeing that the chiefs orders regarding

reasonable, will invoke the aid of the
courts if they are prevented from selling
the foamy beverage to adults who bring

It is this very condition that has caused every year unsatisfactory prices for the product. It is useless to tell farmer or owner of cotton what it is really worth without giving him sine means by which he can realize il s worth. The people are demand / ing a practical, simple, uniform plan of cooperation by which cotton can be stored and money borrowed, and the floating cotton purchased. retired from the market, So that the price can be fixed and main tained immediately.
