In ten days the party only pro-
gressed two degrees of latitude, being
frequently compelled to turn back
and make long detours around inn
passable ice barriers.
The party was now reduced 20
twenty dogs. Many fell from weak
ness and were devoured by the
hungry survivors in the pack.
Within 100 miles of the goal the
icefield became heavier, the obstacles
greater, but there were no deep riffs.
The party saw no sign either OF
land or OF an open polar sea; only Ice,
ice, ice everywhere.
The temperature was seldom above
fifty degrees below zero. The actual
Pole was reached on April 81. Most
careful observations were taken.
Nothing was 10 be seen but the IL
limitable fields OF ice-no evidence of
land, or life, or water.
The party remained thirty-six
hours taking observations at the Pole.
On the return trip the expedition was
reduced to half rations ard only two
faithful Eshmos survived. All the
ammunition was gone before the
Greenland shores were reached May
21, 1909.

A Citizen Of Brooklyn.

Brooklyn, n. Y.-Dr. Frederick A..
Cook has taken part in half dozen
notable exploring expeditions in his
life time, I'm Arctic and Antarctic re-
gions, and in mountain climbing. In
this last his greatest feat was the
ascent of Mount Mckinley, in Alaska,
in 1906, after unsuccessful attempts
in 1903 by himself, and before that
by several geographical societies.
From his boyhood DR.. Cook has
been interested in scientific achieve
ments. He was born at Callicoon
Depot, Sullivan County, New York,
June 10, 1865, the son OF DR.. Theo-
dore Albert Cook-the family name
was originally Koch, but was changed
after coming TO this country. He re-
ceived his education in the public
schools of Brooklyn and in Callicoon,
and was graduated in medicine from
the University of New York City in
1890. In 1892 he married Mary

yiates the necessity Of the performer
resting the little finger Of his playing
hand on the head Of the banjo, thus
deadening the sound to some extent.
The contrivance is a strip OF flexible
metal, which Is fastened across the
head Of the instrument, resting on
the metal sides. The performer rests
his little finger on this strip, and the
difference in the quality of sound is
very apparent, even to the ear of the
inexperienced. In all instruments
which depend on the vibrations of a
drumhead or sounding board for their
tones the point of paramount import
ance is that this vibration shall r"'
be subject to any touch which s
in any way deaden it or change )

Former Slaves Love For Old Home.

Nevin Johnson has sold his farm
near Southern Pines to B. Won Hert
and will go to Sanford. where he has
bought another place. A bit of pathos
develops in this sale. Old Uncle
Abram, cOlored man who had been
slave on the plantation, stayed with
the place after the vicissltudes of the
war and lived to see death claim the
older generations and the farm pass
into the younger hands. Mr.. John
son offered to take the aged negro
along to Sanford, but he said 1t was
too far from home, and he will live
with a relative near by and wait the
inevitable call which Is not far away.
For nearly half a century this old
man has been loyal and devoted to
family of his old master, even though
war broke all ties of ownership

DOWIE's SUCCESSOR JAILED.
Voliva Says He'll Stay Six Months
Rather Than Pay Judgment.

Chicago, Ill.-Wilbur Glenn Voliva,
successor to the late John Alexander
Dowie as head Of the Dowia religious
cult, was placed in the McHenry
County Jail, at Woodstock, H., in
default of payment OF a 1000 judg-
ment rendered against him by Judge
Wright in favor OF Philip Motherill,
a farmer Of Montana.
The judgment was obtained on a
slander charge brought by Motherill.
VOliva declared he would stay in jail
the entire six months rather than pay
the judgment.

authentic and that the North Pole has
been reached for the first time and
by an American.
Lerwick, Shetland Islands.-Dr.
Cook says that the most important
discovery made in his journey of
more than 200 miles farther north
than any human has ever gone before
is a new strip of land more than 3O,-
600 square miles in extent, inhabited
by polar animals and game of consid-
erable variety.
Before reaching the Pole DR.. Cook
suffered almost killing hardships
from hunger and cold.
From Eskimos who accompanied
the explorer it was learned that the
party lived upon immense catches of
bear meat which resulted from the
great hunt of Eskimos on the Green
land shore just before Cooks party
arrived at Annootok.
Large quantities of these stores
were laid at a point 700 miles from
the Pole. During the long winter
night sleds were prepared, equipment
and instruments packed for the jour
ney across the ice packs, which was
TO begin at least a month before the
first dawn Of light in the spring of
1908.
The actual start by Or. Cook, ac-
companied by ten Eskimos on a
dozen heavily laden sledges, drawn
by over a hundred dogs, was made on
February 10.
In the next four weeks nearly 200
miles was accomplished. Numerous
musk oxen, several bear and hare
were killed and eaten during this
journey. The cold was frightful. The
mercury fell at times 70 more than
eighty degrees below zero.
More than twenty dogs died from
the exposure, and four of the Eskimos
deserted and turned back, taking two
OF the sleds and some of the supplies
with them.
