Resourceful Paul Brady.

When the young boys who built
the Iroquois club house in the tree
down by the Dwiggins home were
figuring out where they were to get
the lumber, the thought occurred that
they might negotiate some down at
the old saw mill formerly run by the
company. SO thther they betook
themselves, but in the daytime there
was no Waterman around. Then they
gathered up all the boards they need
ed and walked boldly out into the
road for home, only to meet Supt
Garfield May riding along on horse

Osteopathy.

the last issue of The Palisadian." To
my mind, the medicos have lot to
think about in considering the work
done by this interesting and very new
science. According to the best auth
critics, and there are many, the adj
ministration of drugs as a cure for
disease does more harm in the ma
jority of cases, than good. Such
great authority as John Mason Goode,
Md, FRS, the great English ply
stefan, said in special discussion of
the subject: The effects Of medicine
on the human system are in the high
est degree uncertain, except, indeed
that they have destroyed more lives
than war, pestilence and famine com
bined."

and finally as last resort was in

fountain source of OsteOpathy, where
she took the treatment and was com
pletely restored, and is to-day a wom-
an of marvelously fine physical intellec-
ton, and one of remarkable intellec-
tual accomplishments. She had Meth

suit OF an honorable calling.

Lazy at all times, he became, after
thorough overhauling by osteopathy,

FIRST NEWS OF
COOKS SUCCESS
BRIEF CABLE TO COPENHAGEN
TELLS OF THE RETURN OF THE
EXPLORER.

COPENHAGEN, September THAT
Frederick A. Cook, the American ex-
plorer, reached the North Pole in his
expedition which has just ended is
given full credence here, although de-
tails are lacking of his intrepid dash
across the ice.
A message was received at the Colo
NAL Office here early today via Ler-
wick, Shetland Islands, announcing
that Dr. Cook had reached the Pole
April 81, 1908. This dispatch was
sent by a Greenland official on board
the Danish government steamer Hans
Egede, which passed Lerwick at noon
today en- route for Denmark. 1t read:
1--WE have on board the American
traveller, DR.. Cook, who reached the
North Pole April 81, 1908. DR.. Cook
arrived at Upernivik (the northern
most Danish settlement in Greenland,
on an island off the west coast) in
May of 1909, from Cape York lin the
northwest part of Greenland on Baf-
fin Bay) The Esquimaux of Cape
York confirm DR.. Cooks story of his
Journey"
1t is understood that the Danish CON
sui at Lerwick, where the Hans Egede
remained for two hours, was Officially
notified of DR.. Cooks success, but that
he was bound to secrecy.
Director Ryberg head of the Green
land administration bureau, said to-
night he did not expect to receive
any further details of DR.. Cooks
achievement before the arrival of the
Hans Egede, which probably would be
Saturday. q SWEl
Director Ryberg informed the Min
lister, DR.. M. F. Egan, that DR.. Cook
had reached the North Pole. The an
nouncement caused the greatest en-
thusiasm, and many Americans called
at the legation to congratulate the
Minister. Among these was Alexan-
der Kouta of New York. a warm per-
sonal friend of Dr. Cook, who said
that he had believed the explorer had
persisted long ago. The legation was
overcrowded with visitors tonight.
The noted explorer Commander
Hovgaard leader of various North
Pole expeditions, was convinced that
the message was true, but remarked
that it was strange that no mention
was made in the cables as to whether
or not there is land at the Pole.
