That He Adopted the Native Mode

Skagen, Denmark, Sept. "A news
paper correspondent who went on
board the Hans Egede from the pilot
steamer off here was able to obtain a
few words with DR.. Frederick A. Cook.
The explorer ascribed his success to
the fact that he made use of the old
methods, namely, Eskimos and dogs,
and that he lived like an Eskimo him.
self. The doctor then gave a hurried
sketch of his expedition, in which he
said:
"Going northward I struck first a
westerly course from Greenland and
then moved northward.
II arrived at the North pole April
Fl, 1908, as already announced, accom-
panied by only two Eskimos.

II have ample proof that I reached
the North pole in the observations I
took, which afford a certain means of
checking the truth of my statements.

much greater pride to the fact that I

The Hans Egede was met in the
North sea by the pilot steamer Polar

who was sent as special representa-

Danish Government Showing Remark
able Activity.
New York, Sept. THE expected
arrival of Dr. Frederick A. Cook at
Copenhagen from the epoch making
trip to the North pole is the most i'm
portant news item on the horizon. The
Danish government, which is showing
remarkable activity in its prepara-
lions to receive the explorer, has dis
patched torpedo boat to meet the
steamer on which he is passenger
on the high seas and act as convoy
Of honor into Copenhagen. The Dan
ish minister Of commerce has char
tered vessel on which to take the
newspaper correspondents of the
world out to meet the Brooklyn ex-
plorer and the Danish Geographical
society will meet DR.. Cook on another
vessel.
Besides the fame that will endure
for centuries which comes to DR.. Cook
for his achievement he is destined
also to reap a fortune. His friends
believe that wealth awaits him
through the writings which he is most
likely to publish and through lectures.
A we'll known vaudeville manager in
this city has already cabled to Copen-
hagen offering DR.. Cook $4,000 a week
for ten weeks to appear in his various
vaudeville houses and lecture on his
Arctic experiences.

THREE "RocKsz IN the BUSINESS WORLD

THREE "ROCKs'' IN THE BUSINESS WORLD
There are three great rocks ahead
of the practical young man who has
his feet upon a ladder, and is be-
ginnining to rise.
First - Drunkenness, which, of
course, is fatal. There is no use
wasting any time on the young man
who drinks liquor, no matter how
exceptional his talent.
neutrality-suspicious.. The bust
ness of speculator and that of a
manufacturer or man of affairs are
not only distinct, but incompatible.
The manufacturer should 90
forward steadily, meeting the market
prices. When there are goods to sell,
sell them; when supplies are needed,
purchase them, without regard
to the market price in either case.
We have never known speculative
manufacturer or business man who
scored a permanent success; he is
rich one day, poor the next.
The third rock is akin to specula-
tion-endorsing. There are emery,
encies, no doubt, in which men
should help their friends, but there
is rule that will keep one safe:
No man should place his name on
obligation of another if he has not
sufficient to meet it without de-
triment to his business.

UNDESIRABLE IMMIGRANTS.

Jas. J. Hill, in an address before
the Canadian club at Winnipeg,
warned the members against trying
to get immigrants who have to be
recivilized, says the Princeton Union.
MI. Hill knows full we'll that the
veriest scum of the earth in the form
of human beings has no difficulty
whatsoever in gaining admission to
Canada. From Canada these foreign
undesirables-or many of them-lose
no time in sneaking across the bor-
der, where the wages are higher, and
thus does this country become pol
luted by the riffraf of all nations.
