AFTER TEN TRIALS,
SUCCEEDS, ONLY TO LEARN
COOK HAD Beaten HIM

Having made nine unsuccessful
attempts to reach the north pole
and at last coming out victorious,
Commander Robert Il. Peary, u.
S. N, hurried back to break the
glad news of his triumph, only to
find that his rival, DIR. Cook. had
already been declared the hero
and discoverer of the pole.
Nine times since 1886 Com
mander Peary has led a forlorn
hope into the unmapped regions
of the great white north. Nine
times he has had to fall back de-
feated. Each time he sprang up,
stronger from the defeat, and
led the way back again.
Richard Occur de Leon, trying
to wrest the Holy City from the
hands of the Saracens, and
forced to fall back at the moment
when standing on hill he could
see the spires of the famous city,
the goal of ten crusades, could
feel no bitterer disappointment
than Peary on his last expedition
of 1906 when he reached within
191 miles of the top of the
world"
AS long ago as 1898, Peary
wrote in magazine article:
81 am after the pole, because
it is the pole: because 1t has a
value as a test of intelligence,
persistence, endurance, deter
mined will, and perhaps courage,
qualities characteristic of the
highest type of manhood; be-
cause / regard 1t as peculiarly fit
and appropriate that an American
should win."
Only the waters of hansen
sound-named after another rival
separated the two men as
Peary was making his way north,
while Cook, successful. was max
ing his way back.
Peary has broken a leg, has had
seven toes frozen off. has missed
death by miles or inches scores of
times. He is an old man now,
nearly 56-grown gray in the
pursuit of his life desire. His
face is lined and SCARED with
marks of those hardships.
Having his boats broken, his
companions mutiny before the
unknown dangers of the north,
working from carefully planted
cache to cache, to find them
rifled, eating his last dog, his life
depending on killing an arctic rab-
bit or polar bear or a musk OK,
scorning comfort, forced to lecture
and to beg almost for funds to
support himself and his voyages,
Peary has stood indomitable-a
sturdy and pathetic figure.
Commander Peary was born in
Pennsylvania in 1853 of Maine
lumbermen stock. He made his
own way in life, going through
Bowdoin college with honors, and
after few years of surveying,
passed the United States navy ex-
aminations and qualified as a lieu
tenant of engineers.
He had built a dock at Key
West that older engineers had
pronounced impossible, and this
at a saving of 100000 to the gov
eminent, and had worked three
years surveying a path for an
interocean canal in Nicaragua
another lost cause-when, in
1886, he felt the call of the north.

CALL SENT OUT FOR
 BOOSTER MEETING

Little Rock, Dec. 31-The land owners, business and profes. slOnal men of Arkansas have been invited to meet in conven. tion at Little Rock Wednesday, March 23, 1910, and remain in session for three days. The call was issued yesterday and was signed by the board of trade, business mems league, retail merchants association and the merchants freight bureau.
 ltis claimed that the people of the United States are Hand hun gry" and that they are leaving the cities in search of homes in the rural districts.
 In the call for the convention 1t is pointed out that the desert lands of the west, which are not susceptible to cultivation except by irrigation, are now drawing the most desirable classes of i'm migrants. It is claimed that this is due to the fact that the advan- tages of these lands as developed by irrigation are advertised throughout the world.
 It is declared that under pres ent conditions it is impossible for the masses of the people to ob tain information about Arkan- sas and that local commercial or ganizations are buried under an avalanche of inquiries.
 The new year now at hand is the time to take advantage of our golden opportunity" says the call. Let us organize to answer the call for information about Arkansas. Let us all get to, gether for that purpose and per feet an organization that will be state wide in it's character and in it's usefulness, one that will rep resent every county and section of Arkansas. Let us boost our great commonwealth. Let us give the true story of Arkansas to the world and invite inquiring capital and immigration"
 The mayors county judges and commercial organizations throughout Arkansas have been requested to appoint delegates.

Menominee Chapel and Father
Benjamin Marie Petit.

Father Petit took charge of
the Menominee chapel as the
Catholic Missionary, succeeding
Father DeSaille about 1878,
his first record appearing March
%, 1888. Bishop Brute OF Vim
cennes visited Northern Indiana
in 1886 and describes the Mis-
sion Chapel at Menominee vii
lage as follows: "A large num-
Der of their huts are built around
the chapel which is constructed
of logs in the bark with cross
erected behind and rising above
it. and filled with rudely made
benches. The Indians begin and
end their work without hammer
saw or nails. the AK being their
only implement, and bits OF
skin or bark serving to hold the
pieces together. The room OF the
missionary is over. A ladder in
the corner leads to it, and his
furniture consists, as did the
prophets, OF a table and chair,
and a bed, or rather a hammock
swung on ropes. Around the
room are MS books, and the
trunks which contain the articles
used in his chapel, as well as his
own apparel. He spends his life
with his good people, sharing
their corn and meat with water
for his drink. and tea made from
the herbs of his little garden. He
abjures all spirits as all Catholic
Indians are forbidden to touch
that which is the bane on their
race. and he would encourage
them with his example. attend
ed at the evening catechism,
prayers and canticles, and in the
morning said mass, at which a
large number attended.
Father Petit evinced an in
tense enthusiasm from first to
last in the work of his chosen
field, and in an outburst OF fer
vency he tells something of his
feelings and of his administra-
tons, How | love these chill
dren of mine" he exclaimed,
land what pleasure it is for me
to find myself amongst them.

Kodol supplies the same digestive
juices that are found in a healthy
stomach. Being liquid, it starts
digestion at once.
Kodol not only digests your food,
but helps you enjoy every mouthful
you eat.
You need a sufficient amount of
good, wholesome food to maintain
strength and health.
But, this food must be digestec
thoroughly, otherwise the pains of
indigestion and dyspepsia are the
result.
When your stomach cannot do Its
work properly, take something to
help your stomach. Kodol is the
only thing that will give the stom-
ach complete rest.
Why? Because Kodol does the
same work as a strong stomach, and
does 1t in a natural way.
