SHACKLETON'S EXPLOIT.
Achievements of British Expedition
Which Reached South Magnetic Pole.


Which Reached South Magnetic Pole.
The Nimrod expedition, in charge of
Lieutenant Ernest III. Shackleton of
the British navy, which succeeded in
getting within Ill miles of the south
pole and reached the south magnetic
pole, left England on it's quest for the
south pole in July, 1907. Lieutenant
! Shackleton had a working knowledge
of the land of ice and snow he was
going to explore, for in 1923 he had
been a member of the Discovery eX-
petition under Captain X. T. Scott
and had penetrated for several hum
dred miles southwark after the ice bar
rier was reached.
The NimrOd carried crew of thirty
two men, all told, including several
scientists. Among them was Sir Philip
Brocklehurst, who was to have charge
of the sledging work. James Muir
ray was the biologist, and Lieu
| tenant Adams of the British navy was
the meteorologist. The chauffeur and
mechanical engineer was James Muir.
The Nimrod proceeded to New Zea-
land. Her food supplies were sufficient
to last two years from that point.
| From New Zealand the vessel was
towed to the edge of the ice pack. The
| foot Of Mount ErebuS was reached in
safety, and there the NimrOd left Lieu
tenant Shackleton and his party in
camp III a small house which had been
built by the Discovery party several
wears before Furniture for this house
had been taken with the Nimrod party.
Great difficulty was experienced by
the Nimrod in getting through the ice
TO spot near where the land party
was 70 camp. Those In the party left
MShoSe numbered twelve
The dream Of navigators for many
years has been to discover the south
pole. Several expeditions have tried in
efrectuany to penetrate to latitude 70
degrees 20 minutes south and 146 east,
the spot where the south pole is sup
posed to be.
Some of the achievements of the
! Shackleton expedition are the follow
ing:
Eight mountain chains discovered.
One hundred mountains surveyed.
Volcano of Mount Erebus, Is, 12O feet
high, assembled.
Theory that there is an area Of at
mospheric calm surrounding the south
pole disproved.
The first discovery Of land in the ant
arctic region was made by Captain
Cook in 1878.

WORLDWIDE REVIVAL TOUR.
Or. J. w. Chapman to Lead Evanselists
In BIG Gospel Crusade.

Rev. DR.. j. Wilbur Chapman and Mr..
Charles NJ. Alexander recently left
Chicago upon one of the most re-
markable revival and missionary tours
in the history of the Christian church.
They are accompanied by nearly
score of other evangelists, gospel sing
ers, hymn writer's, personal workers and
others. Throughout the tour ten coun-
tries will probably be visited, including
Canada, Hawaii, the Fiji islands, Aus
tralia, New Zealand, Tasmania, China,
Japan, Korea and the Philippine Is
lands. The distance travelled by the
party will considerably exceed $4,000
miles. 1t is expected that the tour will
occupy nine months.
For about six months the evangel-
lists expect to conduct a widespread
revival movement throughout Austral-
asia under the auspices of the united
churches of the commonwealth. Rap
i'd visits will be made to various cities
in Tasmania and New Zealand.
From Australia the evangelists will
go to China, where conferences will be
held with missionaries and meetings
conducted for natives in several cities.
Before making the return journey
across the Pacific it is expected to hold
one or more meetings in Manila.
In undertaking the. revival tour to
Australia and the orient DR.. Chapman
and Mr.. Alexander are depending for
success not upon human methods, but
upon the prayers of the Christian peo-
pie of America and Australia and
throughout the world. They feel that
the tour may mark the beginning of a
worldwide awakening, and they are
DESTROYS of enlisting the prayers of
Christendom toward this end. Before
leaving America they issued a neat
prayer circle card suitable for hanging
upon the wall of ones room. which
will be sent free OF cost to any one
addressing the Chapman-Alexander
prayer circle, WinOna Lake, Ind. The
card is as follows:

HONOR FOR AMERICAN FARMER
Gar of Russia Seeks Services of In
diana Corn King.

diana AOTn Nin9s
Leonard B. Clore of Franklin, Ind,
has been asked by the Russian gov
eminent to come to that country for
three years and instruct Russian
farmers in the methods of raising
American corn. Mr.. Clore, it is said,
will receive $1,000 year and all ex-
penses. Mr.. Clore long has been rec
ognized as king among the corn rails
ers. He received highest awards at
the Paris, Buffalo, Chicago and St.
Louis worlds fairs, and at the Omaha
corn show last December he won the
grand sweepstakes, giving him the ST.
600 trophy OF the American Corn
Growers association.
At the national corn show, held in
the Coliseum at Chicago in October,
1907, Mr. Clore was the exhibitor of
the single ear of corn which brought
the worlds record price of $3.50 when
put up for auction. The prizes which
have been won by Mr.. Clore have
reached a total of $4,000. All of the
corn which figured in these contests
was raised on a tract of land which
contains only thirteen acres. The en-
tire farm on which Mr.. Clore works
consists of but 126 acres.

Philosophy
By VNCA.N NJ. SMITH
ACTION.

The only way to do a thing
Is to arise and do it,
To try your best to beat yourself
BY half a minute to it.
Some folks may know another way,
A short cut, old ana hoary,
But when it comes to show results
Well, that's a different story.
BY sitting in your easy chair,
Your feet upon the table,
And reading in fairy book
some sweet and thrilling fable
You'll never get within mile,
In happy dreamland dwelling,
OF anything that spells results
In true and lifelil1e spelling.
Get up and get. Don't sit around,
Your feet cooked at an angle,
For that will never in the world
Unravel any tangle.
Be Johnny on the through express,
Down grade, with signals flying,
The throttle open and the world
OF ease and sloth defying.
'&i-
Don't put it off a day or two
Or even till tomorrow.
That is the way to pile up work
And future trouble borrow.
Say to your easy chair "Goodby"
Shake some enticing rover,
Get busy, and you'll be surprised
How soon it will be over.

Oh, where is my wandering ma tonight?

And hasn't come home to tea.
The range is cold on the kitchen trail,
The cupboard is bleak and bare.
For mother has gone to the county Jail
For pulling the speakers hair.
Oh, where is my wandering ma tonight?

She dwells IN the 'box."

BILLYS GREAT I7,lf.
Young WhitIa's Story of How He Was
Kidnapped From School.


When little Willie Whitla, the Shar-
ON Pa.) boy who was kidnapped, was
restored to his father in Cleveland, he
told an interesting story of the case.
Papa" he said in a tone of childish
prattle, Il have been buggy riding,
been on cars and in a nice big white
house that looked like a hospital. I
have been treated nice and had lots Of
good things to eat.
''It was just little while before the
geography lesson began when teacher
called me to the door and said there
was a man there who wanted me to go
with him to see my father.
Il went to the coat room with teach
er, and she helped me with my coat,
and then l went downstairs with the
man. l don't know how old he was
perhaps as old as my papa.
eve went out the front walk of the
school building and there, on State
street, he put me into a buggy. There
was only one man. He was short, not
so tall as you. He had a red face
and brown overcoat and wore q mus
tache cut short
"Then we drove out of Sharon, and 1
asked him where l was going. We
crossed the river and took the road
to Warren, and all the way l kept ask
ing where MY papa was. 1 wasn't
scared at first.
"Just before we got into Warren Gt
was almost noon them the man gave
me two sandwiches to eat, for l was
hungry.
eve stopped just outside Warren
and walked into town, and got aw-
fully tired on the way. 1 can't remem-
Der just how we went away from
there, whether it was on the steam
cars or the electrics, but / think we
went to Newcastle.
eve slept there that night-the man
who took me from the school building
and another younger man. who didn't
wear a mustache.
"The next day we went somewhere
else-I don't know where. The men
told me that was sick and that if I
didn't keep quiet and say my name
was Jones they would put me In a
place where everybody had smallpox
and that l would die.
81 thought we came to AShtabula
one time, but l don't know. / cart
remember much about it all, for 1
was awful tired all the time, but
heard the men say Ashtabula lots of
times, and once or twice they said
Akron. There was a woman who had
me some of the time. too, but 1 can't
RENE nber much about her.
"At last they took me to the corner
of two streets and told me to get on a
street car saw coming and say
wanted to go to the Hollenden.
81 told the conductor, and he asked
me my name, and 1 told him Jones'
because that was what they said to me
to say
'NO. they did not hurt me one bit
( They said they would put me with a
lot Of sick people if 1 didn't do just
as they said. The only trouble was
that in Newcastle and in another town

April, dainty lady,
Lightly comes a-tripping;

Tulips faunt their banners
Gold and scarlet, burning;

Glad that springs returning,

Softly sobs her sorrow.

Gone are clouds and showers.
