AN ARCTIC TRAGEDY.
Tho Body That Was Seen Floating In
the Icy Water.

Tho Body That Was Seen Floating In
the Icy Water.
On Aug. 80 we arrived at Rudolf is
land, the most northern of the Franz
Josef group and simply mass Of ice
and high glaciers. where we had plan
ned to spend the winter. While cruis-
ing near Northbrooke island saw one
day from the ''crow's nest" q singular
dark body just awash on the surface
Of the water. AS we came nearer and
nearer l was possessed by rather
unusual desire to know what this
dark mass was. Putting up my glass;
es, gave the order for dead Slow"
and we passed the object closely on
the starboard side. saw clearly that
it was the body of man clothed III
great skin coat. with the usual hood.
and with mittens on the hands. The
face was not discernible, but it dawn.
ed on me suddenly that this might be
the remains Of the Swedish bailoon1st
Andree, who had been lost in the arc
tic about two years before, or perhaps
one of the men who had been lost In
the Abruzzi expedition.
I was about to stop the steamship
and procure the body when it occur
red to me that to take corpse on
board would destroy the good spirit
and courage Of the members Of the
polar party. for there is a general SUI
perstition among sailors that ship is
doomed when dead body is on board.
The first officer and myself were the
only ones who witnessed this CHASTITY
spectacle. and neither mentioned the
fact, fearing that the discovery would
cast shadow over the entire party.
We have both always believed that
this was the body Of .Andree. and l
have often regretted that it had not
been in my power to give him decent
burial-Captain Edwin Coffin Of the
Ziegler Polar Expedition In National
Magazine.

DIPLOMACY.

A Vague Threat That Meant Nothing.
but Brought Quick Results,
The late Lord Salisbury some years
ago sent a foreign Office emissary to
make some demands of South Amer
lean republic. Before setting out on
bis mission the emissary. to whom his
Iordship had explained the exact ma
ture Of the demands, desired to be In
formed as to the course to take If.
after he had said everything. there was
a refusal.
"Oh." answered Lord Sails bury. this
Is not matter in which We have the
least thought of lighting! Ii the pres
ident refuses. why. you will simply
have tocome home again." =
The emissary went and had his say
to the president Of the republic. who
blankly refused to give I'm. and the
diplomat retired to think things over.

1.-THE THIRD 'DEGREE."

The Third Degree dealing with
young fellows weakness, a rake's
suicide, "a weak woman's distress, a
young wife's devotion, an old law
yer's cleverness, honesty, and a few
other traits that combine to make an
interesting and entertaining produc-
ton, was cleverly and capably pre-
scented at the Biiou last night. If
any criticism were to be offered, it
might be that the author compressed
a little too much distress and un-
happiness into one woman's life, and
diluted 1T too little with sunshine But
IN the working out of the plot OPP
portunity was given for some excep-
tlonally clever work by the young
woman who portrayed the younger
Mrs. Howard Jeffries, and she earned
frequent and deserved applause. The
character of the gruff old lawyer,
Brewster, was also exceptionally we'll
done, as was that of Police Captain
Clifford, even if his methods and per-
sonality did get on the nerves. But
this was rather a tribute to his nat
ur2aness and Interpretation. The play
deals with the suspicion of young
Jeffries for the murder of a spend
thrift art dealer, and the application
Of the police Of the third degree" to
wiring confession Of ii crime he did
not commit The faithfulness and
devotion of his wife was splendid, and
well portrayed. The apparent indif-
Geren'ce of the father was hit I'M
natural, but possibly there are such
human beings as Howard Jeffries,
Sr. The subordinate parts were we'll
enough presented, and the play was,
as has been said, entertaining and
ever, If little too much misery was
packed into all of The situations, but
the closing one. Young Jeffries was
clever in the opening act, and a little
less satisfactory at the close. The
cast was we'll balanced. Audience
fairly large. Hanikerchiefs, moist.

The Dickinson Post calls attention
to the closing of gambling rooms at
Dickinson, following the revelations
regarding the shortage of the county
auditor, through the forgeries of
thousands Of dollars of warrants. 1t
is unfortunate but true that most of
the men who frequent gaming tables
do not lose their own money. The
money lost is sometimes that right
fully belonging to their families,
sometimes that of their employers,
sometimes that of their creditors and
not infrequently that of the people,
who have entrusted their funds to
the care of an unworthy person. 1t
is sometimes argued that the pres
ence Of gaming tables and saloons
makes "times good" They almost
invariably make times hard. They
make collections difficult for the mer-
chant, life difficult for some families,
community. Those VINO argue that
saloons and gambling houses make
good times, argue through a curious
reversal of the real facts. When
money is plentiful and moral condi-
lions are easy, saloons and gambling
houses flourish, because of the con-
ditions they take advantage of but
do not at all create. The saloon con-
tributes nothing to the community
but license fee, which must be earn
ed out Of exhorbitant profits. The
gambling house is usually run ION
the quiet" and takes all to give Moth
ing. Sometimes, when the commun-
ity loses thousands of dollars of
funds through these agencies, the
people wake up to see what the real
effect Of them is.

WHAT is A WHITE MANI
A Puxzling Problem For the Racial In
vestiqator.

A PuxzIins Problem For the Racial In
vestigator.:
The chief Of the naturalization bu-
reau at Washington Is of the opinion
that the average man in the street"
understands distinctly what white"
man Is. Apparently some persons can
master subject without studying It
at all, while others who have looked
into it deeply are not so dogmatically
certain as the average man in the
street."
For example, the encyclopedias tell
us that mankind was divided by Blu
menbach into five races-namely, eau
casian, Monaghan, Ethiopian, Ameri-
can Qndian) and Malay. The words
Caucasian and white" are used
anonymously. This classification was
first published in 1881 and must have
been known to our national legislators
when in 1902 they passed the first
naturalization law.
The Caucasian race includes Arabs,
who are certainly no whittier" than
the Turks yet Turks, the official says,
cannot be naturalized because they are
not white"
We are also told by the naturaliza-
ton bureau that the HindOo Is not
white" within the meaning of the
statute. But the encyclopedia says that
it is a great error to separate the Hin
doc from the Caucasian race. The
Hindoo, it thinks, is much nearer the
white" race than the Arab.
10 puzzle the racial Investigator still
further, while everything is so clear
to the average man in the street."
we are told by the encyclopedias that
the original Caucasians-that is, the
inhabitants of the Caucasus-are no
longer regarded as Caucasians.' They
have been thrown out Of the white"
camp and forced to go over to the
Mongol.
Nor is the enigma any nearer solu-
ton when we are told by the natural
ization, bureau that Asiatics cannot be
naturalized, but that Siberfans can.
although Siberians may be anything
from Russians to Mongolians or Mon
gol-T rco-Tartars.-Boston Globe.

Gators. For necessarily, the sphere
of the educator in the state is some
what confined, from the requirements
of his every day duties, which de-
mand his presence in the school room
or the university hall, and when he
has time for visiting 1t is only ma
tural that his footsteps shall lead
out of the state and not through it,,
for the centers of older culture and
education are not here. Whatever
inducement can be held forth, there
fore, to the school superintendent.
the school principal, the teacher or
the professor, to travel through the
state brings him into closer contact
with it's different commu mites, their
people and their environments, and
broadens him with knowledge of the
state. The meeting at Minot, we
have no doubt, will do much to open
the eyes of the educators to the
greatness and possibilities of the
great northern section of the state.
A meeting at Bismarck would further
enlighten the educators as to the
state capital, it's people, the great
territory about it and to the west of
it, and still more firmly ground the
ideas of the teacher in the magnitude
and splendor of his own state. There
is no reason why the meeting of the
state association should not be held
in succeeding years at the bigger
cities of the state which are conven-
iently accessible by railroads. Bis
marck is more geographically cen
trail than any other place in the
state 1t is reached from the north
and south by the 500 line, and from
the east and west by the Northern
Pacific, being about equidistant from
east to west of the state. 1t has good
hotel accommodations, churches, Ii
braries, meeting places and comfort
able homes, to say nothing of cul-
tured and hospitable people.

CHAPEL IN EVERY HOUSE.

PhiladeIphian's Novel Suggestion For
tho Private Worship Of God.
The novel suggestion that chapel
be set apart for the worship Of God
in every home in America has been
made by a Philadelphia and has met
with the hearty and even enthusiastic
approval Of many OF the most distin-
guished churchmen and beads of edu-
cational institutions in the United
States. Canada and England.
The suggestion is made by Joseph
r. Wilson. member OF the Philadel-
phia bar. who resides at Overlook.
Mr.. Wilson had chapel 8 by 5 feet
in his former home at 1880 Cedar ave-
nue.. where his children said their
morning and evening prayers and
where he says he himself gathered in
SEPARATION for his daily work. In his
present home at Overlook he has q
temporary chapel. but intends building
an extension for a permanent one.

GROOMING TAFT'S TURKEY.

New England, Farmer to Send Presi-
dent Fowl For Thanksgiving Feast.
The president Of the United States is
one of he few fortunate individuals in
the country who need not bother about
where the Thanksgiving menu is going
to come from. 1t Is sure to come. In
fact, it comes in such great quantities
and in such great variety that it would
take a man of more than Mr.. Taft's
ample build and considerably more than
his capacity for enjoying good things to
eat to get through the menu his friends
would provide. -
There is man UP in New England
who prides himself on raising turkeys.
Some years ago he sent monster bird
to the White House for the presidents
dinner. The turkey had been fed up In
great STYLE 1t had been the pride Of the
farm. and the neighborhood through
out that part Of the country had
watched the turkey grow into a proper
state Of perfection for the palate Of
the president of the United States. The
turkey made a great hit at the White
House, and since that day one prize
bird and several others. just for good
measure. have been sent down from
the New England farm for the Thanks
giving dinner at the White House.
Other turkeys. to be sure, have been
laid before the presidents at this sea-
son, but none has seemed to compare
with the New England fowl, and so
each year the gift is repeated.
AS for vegetables. they come by the
barrel, and for this one day at least
the housekeeper to the president need
not give single thought to the market
house.
Thanksgiving at the White House,
much the same as at Christmas. is a
happy time indeed. For family in
which there are young people the
great big colonial house offers the most
enhancing opportunities for giving
vent to the holiday spirit. Its great
wide halls, immense guest chambers
(Which would make at least four good
sized bedrooms ifthey were partitioned
of as such). the high colonial freplaces
blazing with their sparkling logs and
the big fibrary-the White House liv-
ing room-are ideal.-lsabel A. Joyce

EARTH IN PATH OF COMET.

Will Pass Through Gases: Of the Tail
on May Is Next.
"Halley's comet will not only pass
across the face of the sun on May 18,
but the earth will pass through the
tail of the comet" said Director Ed
ward Charles Pickering Of the Har-
ward university observatory the other
day. The tail of the comet Is made
up of gases-acetylene, carbonic and
several others. The gas will be rarehed.
SO that we shall not perceive it. In
case these gases were apparent to the
people the result would be very dis
agreeable.
I'm 1860, when another comet was
passing, there was great display Of
shooting stars. We may have such a
manifestation when Halley's comet
passes us.
1.-THE comet called Halley's comes
near the sun every seventy-f1ve years
or SO. Scientists knew that the comet
was due next spring. The matter.
then, was precisely as If we knew
where railroad was. but didn't know
where the train was on the track. So
the several astronomers began to
watch for the comet and to figure what
time it would arrive at the sun station,
so to speak. The Rev. Father G. 81.
Searle calculates that the comet will
cross the suns face May IS. and, as
he Is a careful observer, his calcula-
lions are probably correct"

MEMBERS OF ASSOCIATED PRE-:
REACH HAS A GRIEVANCE.

The thriving town of Beach, out in
the heart of the Golden Valley, seems
to have a grievance, in that it cannot
get itself located on the railroad
maps. The Advance says:
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Northern Pacific railway company
transacted business at the local sta
ton for the month of October last
past amounting to $50 900, more than
was done at any other station on the
Yellowstone division with one excep-
ton, we have yet to see the first rail-
way map on which Beach is given a
location on the line of road. At first
Beach was put across the line into
Montana by the tariff agent and for
some time freight and emigrant
charges were collected on that basis.
This evil has, however, been obviated
and the tariff charges made to con-
form with the North Dakota sched-
ule. Now Beach should have place
ON the map.
It is true that Beach is not an old
town, but it has enjoyed a wonderful
progress and it is safe to assume that
the business of the Beach station Is
checked up every month with consid-
cradle satisfaction. Beach Is won
derfully we'll advertised town today
but it is not due to the efforts of the
railway company, for many people
have gone over it's map time and
again to find where Beach was locat-
ed, all to no purpose. It would at
least be a satisfaction to know that
a city in which you expect to make
your future home is on the map.
Beach is great today because of its
environment. It is surrounded with
the best land on earth which is still
selling at small part of its actual
worth. Crops throughout the valley
averaged in the neighborhood of $26
per acre this year, and while the fax
was perhaps little better than u.s.
ual, the other crops were about the
same as has been grown for several
years, or since farming has been car
.ried on to any extent. Land is the
Golden Valley is today paying big
interest on an investment of $50 an
acre. Progress in the city and sur
rounding country is very satisfactory
hut when our eastern friends tell us
we are not on the map all we can do
is to make a face and look the other
way.

corah, Iowa, publishes a booklet
which contains a collection of facts
and figures about the Norwegians
and the Danes in the United States,
with pictures Of the higher institu-
tons of learning built and maintain
ed by the above nationalities in this
country. The total Norwegian popu-
aation in the United States Is esti-
mated to be 100000, eighty per
cent of which, owing to the home
stead laws and conditions can be
found in six states Is follows: Min
.-nesota, Wisconsin, iowa, Illinois,
North and South Dakota. Forty-six
per cent of this population are farm
ers and eighty per cent Of them own
their own farms. Two-thirds of the
farm property in Minnesota is owned
by Scandinavians. The next census
of Minnesota and North and South
Dakota is expected to show large
increase in the Scandinavian popula-
ton who already numbered in Mime
