The question, what is the biggest
nuisance in town, may be answered
easily Look aoOut, Isn't it the person
who sits himself or herself against their
neighbors and constantly knocks every
thing calculated to make the rown pro-
gressive and up-to. date. Bear in mind,
there are three things that must be kept
up to have town bear good reputa-
ton in the country round about. The
house (now called the church),
the hotel and the cemetery. These
three appeal in the following order: the
interest of the soul, the comfort of the
body and the final disposal of what re-
mains when life has gone out Those
who discourage all of these improve
ments cannot be counted much ahead
of y nuisance.

Pole this summer. Some generous
man, who wants to see the honor
OF the discovery won by an Ameri-

of preparing the ship for the hazard

will probably be made at an early

Peary has the high record of Arctic
exploration and hopes to surpass it
byreaching the pole itself on his next

Peary is the man to make the sue

must be awaited when the naviga-
