mander Robert e. Peary, install my
boatswain in this deserted house
This paper the boatswain, who
could neither read nor write, exhibit
ed TO DIR. Cook and the latter took a
copy of this wonderful document. Tnis
copy. however he does not intend to
publish If Peary's course does not
force him to do so.
Or Cook gave me a lively account
Of. how the young millionaire, Mr..
Whitney, during the whole winter,
was treated like a dog by the giant
boatswain and how he had to calmly
watch the sailor bartering DR. Cooks
provisions for fox and bear skins for
nimself DR. Cook also had to put a
good face on the unpleasant situation.
He had to beg to get into his own
house and had to make a compromise
with the boatswain with the strong
fists
Or Cook made a present of the
house with all It's contents to his
faithful Eskimos, with the proviso
that Whitney was to have the use OF
the house as long as his hunting trip
lasted. but he was compelled to let
the Newfoundland boatswain contin-
ne his watch The boatswain how
ever, received strict orders not to ex-
change any more of the provisions or
guns.
Now | suppose the sailor will cele-
brate his triumphal entrance into
New York harbor aboard Pearys snip,
while Whitney is-where? Aboard
his own yacht Jeanne? Or, perhaps
he has not wanted to wait for his own
boat and has gone aboard Peary's
ship.
"To Mr.. Whitney DR.. Cook gave his
instruments and his observations as
he thought these precious things were
safer there than on the long sledge
trip in the spring across Melville bay,
but all his notebooks, and greasy and
soiled record books, which have been
so closely written upon, he kept and
carried with him.
ITO me, who understands only a
very little astronomy, the records
written down SO closely and in all di-
rections, were very hard to read but
what is the record to us? The two
men, Peary and Cook, their character,
their conduct, that is what interests
us and every little item throwing a side
light upon their natures is valuable. !"

PEARY TOOK COOKS HOUSE
According to Letter Published in Da-
nish Paper

Copenhagen, Sept. IA letter,
giving DR.. Frederick A. Cooks version
of the trouble with Commander Peary
over supplies, appears in the newspa-
per Politiken The letter was written
| by DR.. Norman Hansen, a prominent
Danish physician, who several times
visited Greenland to study eye dis
eases, which he has made speciality.
DR.. Cook told practically the same
story to one of his closest American
friends Just n week ago before Com
mander Peary reappeared on the
scene, but said that he did not intend
to make it public because it might
lead to unpleasantness. DR.. Hansen
was with Cook for some time in
Greenland and returned with him on
the Danish government steamer Hans
Egede
In his letter ne says:
Now that DR.. Cook has gone / am
no longer under any obligation to
keep silence and will exercise my
right to publish the story about the
house in Annatok, story which DIR.
Cook himself had too much delicacy
to relate to the world. | write it ac-
manner that DR.. Cook in Egedsminde
told it to me, and | am fully convinc-
ed that in no details are my recollec-
ions wrong.
Or Cook had built his house for
stores in Annatok, north of Etah and
it was this depot which he started to
reach in February, 1909, crossing
Smith Sound. 1t was a pretty large
house, the walls being built of heav-
lily filled provision boxes, SO that DR..
Cook knew that wnen this important
point was reached everything was
safe He had, before the start, ar
ranged with young friend named
Whitney that he should have the
right to use the house while hunting
musk oxen for sport in the winter of
l90S-09
when DR.. Cook and his two Eski-
mos, exhausted and half-starved. came
within a shots distancee of the house
in Annatok, young Whitney came out
to bid him welcome, but inside the
house was a stranger, giant New
foundland boatswain, on watch.
This man had been placed in DR..
Cooks house by Peary when the lat
ter passed Etah with his ship bound
north. Peary had given the boat
swain a written order, which common
ced with the following words:
This house belongs to DR.. Fred
erick A. Cook, but DR.. Cook is long
ago dead, and there is no use to
after him. Therefore, ], Com

EIGHTEEN DAY FAST.

Loses Two Hundred
PolnSe

Fremont, Aug. 12.-Eighteen days
without mouthfu of food or a swat
low of water was the record made by
a steer on the George Morrow farm
near Fremont. Mr.. Morrow is feeding
a bunch of about four hundred cattle.
He does not reside on the place and
the ctock is left on the parture where
there Is an abundance Of forage and
water. A neighbor in passing tho
place noted that the stock had broken
into the barnyards and had access to
the corn cribs and stables. He there
fore took the liberty to drive the stock
cut OF the buildings and afterwards
locked and secured them against fur
Their intrusion. Eighteen days later
MIR. Morrow had occasion to enter
one of the barns and was surprised
to find one Of his steers therein. 1t
had been locked in by the neighbor
Wien he shut up the building almost
three weeks before. 1t could not get
out and had been without food or
water for the entire period. 1t was
more dead than alive when found Ivy
Mr.. Morrow and had lost over two
hundred pounds. Mr.. Morrow got the
animal to its feet, but he spent tho
entire day in giving it food and water
in proper quantities The steer is
coming along all right now and Mr.
Morrow believes that he will save it.

fact Is, it continues, that the bulk Of
the average mans expenditures go
for meat, vegetables, fruit, bread,
clothing, fuel and rent, and cursory

how much or how little the tariff
