7s degrees and 40 minutes. Hudson's
farthers north was made In 1907, al
80 degrees and 20 minutes
| For more than 100 years after this
the Arctic circle smiled grimly, for no
one with any success attempted to pen
citrate its Businesses.
But with the beginning Of the nine
teenth century the fever again broke
forth and the English as usual were
the most adventurous. Bold and able
seamen like Ross and Parry, Sir joins
Franklin and Scorsby attacked the ice
pack; some from the eastern and some
from the western hemisphere, with
varying results. Ross in 1927 cut a
new notch when he reached 81 degrees
and IS minutes. Parry in the same
year reached 81 degrees and As min
utes.
Parry, an experienced navigator, who
already had accompanied other ex :
plorers, discovered a number of new
lands and waters which he named and
claimed for the British throne. His
farthest north was attained after more
than ten years of exploration in Arctic
waters. He was knighted and other
wise rewarded by the English govern
ment for his achievements.
Sir John Franklin, of whose expedi-
ton so much was expected, was fated
never to make more than rs degrees
so far as is known. Relief sent to him
was too late and 1t was not until years
afterward that any traces OF him or
his ship were found which proved the
fears OF his fate were well founded

Kent Kane, the American explorer
who was one of the first Of our nation
to mark the way to the north. In 1854
he made 80 degrees So minutes north,
touching Cape Constitution, which he
named.
From the day Of Kane on there was
a notable stimulus In America towards
the effort to reach the pole. The north
west passage search was abandoned
until In our own time Amundsen found
1t. But the efforts OF Nordenskjold,

Mayer, 1874 Isl degrees minutes), and
Mares, 1876 (S3 degrees 81 minutes),
spurred our countrymen to new at
tempts which bore fruit In the brilliant
exploit Of Lieutenant DE Long In 1879,
who, however, was turned back at III.
degrees, and Commander Greedy, who
planted the Stars and Stripes In 1882

Until FridtJof hansen. like the vikings
son he is, reached SO degrees Is min
utes In 1895.
Four years later Lieut.. Robert b.
Peary attained SO degrees so minutes.
Nothing daunted he repeated his at
tempt in 1902, negotiating 81 degrees
AZ minutes. and again three years ago
when he reached 81 degrees minutes.
Meanwhile the adventurous Duke of
the Abruzzi turned his attention from
mountain climbing TO the lure OF the
north, and pushed his way in 1900 to
SO degrees "a minutes. Peary's record
however. remained the top notch until
the remarkable feat OF Or. Cook,
which became known q few days ago.
Peary on his fourth visit Is still absent,
and unless IT shall develop that he has
reached the desired pole before Cook
did, his effort will be vain, SO far as
priority of discovery Is concerned.

The lure OF the pole has rewarded
the latest and most daring of those
who have yielded to the desire fol
Arctic exploration, and to an American
belongs thu. glory Of reaching that hith-
erto unattainable geographical point
the north pole.
For 400 years science and adventure
have thrown themselves vainly aeains,
the ice barriers and the ice foes which,
prevented them from attaining their
object, and the Arctic seas are strewn
with the wrecks of the vessels and the
desolate ice plains are covered with the
bodies of the men sacrificed in the
quest.
The search for the north pole at the
earliest recorded periods appears to be
mingled with an attempt to solve the
northwest passage in the interest OF
commerce. In fact, down to Sir John
Franklin's day that seemed to be the
chief object Of these adventurous nav
igators.
The Inflated expedition OF sir Hugh
Willoughby, 1853; Richard Chancellor
1854, and Sir Martin Frobisher. 1878.
were all animated by the commercial
idea, scientific exploration playing lit
tie or no part in them. They were all
accompanied by large loss Of life and
even thus early in recorded expeditions
did the stern northland begin to col
lect its tribute of human lives.
Among recorded explorations. John
Davis, the Welshman. appears at the
head Of the list, for in 1887 that in
trepid navigator reached ~ degrees IL
minutes before he fell back before what
seemed to him a hopeless task. This
was after he had crulsed in Arctic
waters for over two years. Twenty
eight years later. Captain Bafin. whose
name Is always linked with Arctic
chimes, reached 7 degrees and As min
utes when he, too, turned away before
the ice barrier between Grinnell Land
and Greenland Disease and cold had
decimated his crew and he said the
northwest passage was impossible.
These navigatora, who had been
backed by private capital searching for
gain, wrote accounts of their voyages
that were enough to daunt the hardest
OF Adventures. But not the loss OF life
and not the loss OF money and ships
were sufficient to deter others from
making similar attempts.
These men had attempted to gain
their point from the western hernis
phere, but while they were doing this
others had tried the same thing from
the eastern hemisphere, Particularly
Admiral Barents and Captain Hoem-
skerck. and the noted Henry Hudson.
Barents In 1894 had reached m degrees
when Ice foes turned him back. ana
Hcemskerck two years later reached

When / am sick, nobody cares,
Nobody walls, that copper shares
Will fall on my account;
Nobody watches eagerly
For bulletins concerning me,
To much, | don't amount.
Nobody wants to first be sure,
About my daily temperature
Before he sells or buys;
No values rise or fall with me,
The world goes on right merrily,
Whether l sleep or rise.
When I am sick, no markets drop,
No business deals come to a stop,
No panic strikes the town;
Railroads go on and steamships ply
The rolling waves the same, if l
Am either up or down.
No neighbOr comes unto my bed
With anxious brow and hasty tread,
Beseeching me to say
Whether my illness chronic is
That he may go about his biz
And turn trick that day.
And yet, when l am sick, a few
Come unto me as friends true blue
To cheer me in distress:
With love they come upon my bed
And not one word is ever said
Of money or success.
Solicitors about my health,
Not as it might affect their wealth,
The market or their shares;
But that they wish the best for me
From every selfish motive free,
Friends, and not bulls or bears.
And so, as on through life l go,
I have the wish 10 keep it so,
l want not wealth or fame.

Or count in copper stocks the cost,

ALBERT WILLIAMSON ON THE
CUP THAT CHEERS

Call it fad, craze, or whatever you
please, but the, fight against drinking
In other places than homes is becoEl-
ing worldwide in its scope.
Ever since the days of old Lot the
prayers of good women and repentant
men have been lifted up against in
temperance in the drink habit.
We know it to be wrong. We know
1t causes US to spend money and time
we have no right to spend, and sill
like the hogs made drunk on the swiil.
right back at it again we go.
"Oh, just one more." Now you
never have taken a drink with me-"
How often have we heard this un-
reasonable and suicidal twaddle.
Wonder why we don't hear: Come
have a collar and cravat with me!
Just as "all the world loves a lover
so also is the edict going forth that
al the world is up in arms against
this social drinking in public places.
1t will not surprise us to see the
next Florida legislature enact the
most stringest laws along this line.
We believe it will take off the
screen doors in whiskey houses and
prohibit drinking on the premises
where whiskey is sold.
We mean by this that whiskey, wine
or beer will not be sold except by the
gallon or bottle, and that the man who
drinks it will have to take it home or
go to Jail.
The cup that cheers is the pace that
kills, and it's the social glass thai
does it all.
The old Latin axiom "In vino veri-
tas"-in wine there is truth-couij
much more property be interpreted
in wine there is recklessness.
One not only becomes reckless from
such drinking, but shows an utter
abandon for the rights of others or the
obligations of home life.
We almost daily see such men
squandering dollar after dollar in the
habit who cannot afford
CD to buy a pair of socks or a decent
Our friends may say ''it takes
thief to catch a thief" All of which
is true. We would not care to hear
a man lecture on some foreign coun-
try who has never been there And
so it is with drinking in public plac
man who has not served his
time is not a competent witness.
We believe. the day of the glide
saloon" will soon be a thing of tho
past, and there are thousands of oth-
ers Just like us who share with US this
prediction.
We never have believed in prOhi-
bition and don't believe in it now, but
the legislature OF Florida has full
power to prescribe the manner III
which whiskey shall be sold.
To sell nothing less than half pins
and to prohibit the opening of even
that in a public place is a matter cas-
ily settled by legislative enactment
and we believe it would prove the
death knell to bars and barrOom
drinking and the complete shatteriug
and humiliation of the social glass;

THE NATIONS BUILDERS

What builds the nations pillars high,
And its foundations strong?
What mikes it mighty to defy
The foes that round it throng?
Not, gold, but only men can make
A people great and strong;
Men who, for truth and honOr's sake,
Stand fast and suffer long.
Brave men, who work while others
sleep,
Who dare while others fly
They build a nations pillars deep
And lift them to the sky.
