Maternal Instinct.

We talk about maternal instinct"

TRIES TO EXCUSE
SELF|SHNESS

ST. JOHNS, n. F., Sept. %.
Harry Whitney, of New haven, who
today is sailing from here on his way
to sydney and Boston aboard the
steamship Jeanie, threw new light ON
the Cook Peary controversy just be-
fore his vessel sailed. On the hour of
his departure Whitney received mess
age from Peary, complaining that he
had not fully informed him of DIR.
Cooks belongings, the Inference of
this message being to the effect that if
Peary had known about DR.. Cook 5
belongings which he left with Whitney
and which Peary refused to take
aboard the Roosevelt, he might have
changed his mind and taken them.

one who heard him doubts this
He told of how so many boys when
going through their ''akward period"
Unavoidably "self-conscious, and con-
scious of it, and conscious that every
one else is conscious of It," are
often discouraged to the point of
desperation Just because they ars
misunderstood
He plead eloquently and earnestly
for better understanding of the Toys
that they may be saved for this life
