Danes See the Matter From

Most People Believe He Is

Are Saying So.

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 22.-Denmark
far as DR.. Frederick Cooks claims to

concerned. A handful of people, in
Guiding the inspector of North Green
land, still believe Cook reached the
pole A large number believe Cook
thinks he reached the pole, but an over
whelming majority brand the explorer
as the graetest imposter of modern
times.
The generally accepted view is that
Cook wandered around in the arctic
region in search of the pole, but with
out sufficient scientific knowledge tc

from the Arctic. critics declare, with
the determination to make a bold claim
to discovery. stalking everything on the

Taking such a gamblers chance, the
Danes assert, discredits Cook as a sci
enlist, but when he attempted to bols-
ter up his claims with observations
that never could have been made, he
became the swindler they allege.
Raold Amundsen, one of Cooks
friends, remains loyal. He declares the
explorer in an effort not to appear dill
atory, greatly handicapped himself by
submitting incomplete data. He says
he has known Cook 10 years and be-

Only Two Days Remain for
Purchase of Presents
For Christmas.
STORES BUSY AT
NIGHT AS WELL
Business Generally Is to Be
Suspended on the Last
Day Of Week.

With but two shopping days remain
ing before Christmas and with the res
idents of the Garden City all intent
upon securing gifts for friends and
relatives, the old town presents a
busy appearance, and merchants are
all but covered with the exceptional
volume of business that has been the
rule during this week. Although many
took cognizance of the necessity for
shopping early, there are hundreds
who have permitted the days to slide
past without making any provision for
the approaching festive season, and as
natural result the merchants and
their salespeople will. have strenuous
time between this time and Christmas
In every line of trade, an impetus
has been given trading conditions by
the approach of the holidays, and
from the smallest merchant to the
largest, all report a volume of busi-
ness that is far in excess Of that of
that of last year, and much better
streets are daily thronged with thou
sands of men, women and children, in
search of articles appropriate to the
occasion. Some take advantage of the
morning hours, when the stores are
not in a crowded condition, but the
great majority seem to take delight
in jostling among the crowds to DO
their shopping. Every evening finds
Main, Alder and intersecting business
streets filled with a surging mass of
humanity that seems to have no END
in the constant stream moving up and
down, some laden with bundles and
parcels, and others scanning the win
dows in search of some especially de-
sired article
Best In Years.
According to merchants Christmas
shopping this season is the best In
years; without exception they say the
trade is heavier than expected, and
some have expressed the opinion that
that trade is not yet in full swing
that the remaining shopping days
will bring forth a volume of business
that will surprise everyone
Practically every one of the big

many attractive display windows this

has served to add to the buying zest.
AS a rule gifts have consisted of toys
