North Pole one year before Commander
Robert +. Peary did.
Accompanying the original records is
the narrative explanation of DR.. Cook.
which Lonsdale declares contains 25.OO1
words, and which rectes in the most
minute form every incident OF the trip
that Cook and his two Eskimos noted
en- route to 80 degrees north.
The Copenhagen scientists will take
up consideration of the report when
Lonsdale reaches there twelve DAYS
from now. They have promised to try
and complete their consideration. so
that by Christmas. or at the latest by
New Year, they can give their verdict
10 the world. and declare whether the

FRENCH SHY
ON POSTAGE
misunderstanding Causes Loss to
American Recipients of Letters

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. Ii
The postoffice department reports
that recipients of mail from France
are being put to extraordinary ex-
pense through the misinterpreta-
ton by the citizens of that republic
of the recent changes in the inter
national postal rate between the
United States and Great Britain
and Germany. They have the idea
that the reduction applies to
France as well. AS result, every
letter coming from France to the
United States bearing the equiva-
lent of two cents postage has to be
assessed six cents, double the def
icit in hostages. before it can be
delivered to the addressee.
One firm in Washington which
conducts a large international bust
ness has been compelled to pay as
much as 800 week in excess post
age. The department has taken up
the matter with the French postal
authorities.

GETTING THROUGH THE /.
REVOLVING P. 0. DOORS

Editor, Spokane Press-At a
mere glance one does not imagine
what very interesting time can
be spent watching people pass
through the revolving doors In the
postoffice building. For the ma
jority it is as easy as the ordinary
swing dor; with the minority it is
ever a source of amusement Or op-
portunity to exhibit lack of COM
mon sense or case of ''rattles.'
The most common sight is to see
two persons go through together j.
the same compartment, and it is in
variable the women who do it,
They either cannot stop their con-
versation that short period of time
or are afraid of losing each other.
The coniieap sight of three stout
women trying to go through togeth-
err the other afternoon was worth
going a long way to see. The first
two foolishly crowded into one
compartment, and at the last mo-
ment the third, perhaps fearing she
would never meet her dear friends
again, sprang in the disappearing
compartment Then began such a
series of vertical hops. stepping
on of toes, as few people have
ever witnessed and those whose
privilege it was to see this Pc
culiar performance were convulsed
with laughter. and for a moment it
appeared as II they had blocked the
pedestrian traffic. But kindly
old gentleman stepped in the com
partment behind them and pushed

ing with hair down and bonnets at

THAT FOOL AND THAT
WOMAN

God it's all over. I've been a fool.
Warmer HAD been fool. He
made his prayer to Mrs. Ford But
she was 1.-The Woman Who Did Not
Care"
The career of this woman reads
like romance. A romance Of love
life, lust, death, intrigue, suicide
and blackmail.
To begin at the beginning, Mrs.
Ford was jeanette Timmonds, div
ing in the southern part of Ohio.
She had just finished her course in
a fashionable boarding school in
Cincinnati when her father died,
leaving her. an orphan. with some
sS5 700. She was in her teens. Her
world was Cincinnati and there she
continued to live. She met Billy"
Ford 10 years ago, and she claims
her eldest child is his. The fact
that she married Eords brother
gives all idea of her resourc9ftf-
ness.
Ford secured divorce. The
woman met Edgar Street Cooke,
young, good-looking, prosperous.
Cooke had a beautiful wife and
two sons. A struggle has been
waged all these years between Mrs
Cooke and Mrs. Ford for first place
in Cookies heart
Warmer was with Cooke in the
Big Four office. Cooke told Warri-
rer of his troubles and of his fasci-
nation by Mrs. Ford. You 60
said Warmer; get away from her
and I'll see that things are. all right
in the office" a.
Cooke told the woman, and he
also told her that the books didn't
balance with the cash. Then lie
went to Chicago to escape her. She
was quick to meet this crisis. She
simply used the knowledge of the
business trouble to eXtort money
and yet more money from Warmer
and she used this money in her
mad pursuit of Cooke.
She demanded money from one
and love from the other.
In his cell Warmer told me
that nearly 100000 had gone
through his hands to the woman.
But you say in your statement
to the Big Four that you only
gave her S1S,000?"
We'll, you see, when | first was
questioned | was Hurried But
now | can see and remember. 1t
was much more"
Whether it was $4,000 or
100000, matters little to War
riner. He simply says, IT'S all
over"
When Prosecutor Fricke turned
to Cooke In Chicago for light on
the trail of the woman, it was Mrs.
Cooke who showed her husband the
way to Mrs. Ford's exposure
She broke down and wept 1--WE

love for 10 years., she told
Fricke, Then it was that Cooke
barred his breast and showed the
scar of bullet. Mrs. Ford fired,

he said. Then, too. for the first
time the fight that Mrs. Cooke
had made was won.
When will it end?" they are
asking now. n

ceived From Ensraver Miss keene
Was Stricken With Rheumatism, and
Has Been Helpless Since.

Altho the bride was helpless and
confined to her bed as the result of a
severe attack of rheumatism, Miss Vida
r. Keene, a well-known young woman
of Cedar Falls, became the wife of Mr..
Wilbur H. Schilling, formerly of State
Center, at the Keene home Thursday
evening. Rev. G. H. Birney performed
the ceremony.
Plans had been made for a wedding.
as the young people had many friends,
and much interest was shown in the
approaching event. On the very day
the engraver, almost two months ago,
Miss Keene was stricken with rheuma-
tism, and has been confined to her bed
since, scarcely able to move hand or
foot. Altho none of the invitations
was sent out the couples friends, who
learned that the nuptials would be
celebrated without the presence of the
guests, showered the bride and groom
with gifts. Miss Keene preferred that
the wedding be postponed until she
might regain her health, but Mr..
Schilling insisted on carrying out the
plans as they had been made This
morning Mr.. Schilling and DR.. T. B.
Keene, Mrs. Schilling's father. took the
young woman to Colfax, where it is
hoped the treatment will benefit her.
MIR. Scililling met his bride at State
Center, when she was employed as a
teacher in the public schools at that
place. For the past three years Miss
Keene has been teaching in the Cedar
Falls schools. She is a graduate of the
state normal school, and formerly
lived at Montezuma, where she is also
we'll known.
Mr.. Schilling is member of a
prominent State Center family, and has
many friends both in State Center and
this city. He is now teaching history
in the Illinois Wesleyan University at
Bloomington. Mr.. Schilling had plan
ned to spend the summer at Madison,
Wis, where he expected to do post
graduate work and receive his degree
At the same time his wife expected
to take course in domestic science.
These plans have been changed, how
ever, and the summer will be devoted
