THE DIscovERY on NE PoLE

Every American will earnestly
hope that the report which credits
DR.. Cook. of Brooklyn. with having
reached the North Pole is true. The
official evidence win have to be
forthcoming before the world will
feel satisfied that the feat has been
accomplished, but in this age of
wonders there seems no reason to
suppose the long desired goal has
not been reached. DIR. Cook has
hardly been heard Of outside of the
scientists and explorers who keep in
touch with the various expeditions
towards the frozen north. and Amer
leans have been for some years wont
to believe that if the Pole was TO be
found in this age Commander
Peary would be the successful ex-
plorer. Peary's expeditions have
been known TO all the world and his
various unsuccessful voyages widely
advertised. While this was going
on DR.. Cook. quiet and determined.
without parade or show. was evil
IDENTIFY plodding northward over the
foes and around the icebergs to-
wards the great frozen pole. If the
story of his expeditions and his sue
cess turns out to be a true one this
country has every reason to be
proud of the man who has demon
strated to the world that American
pluck. energy and determination can
overcome every obstacle and win out
in the force of almost impossible diff
ficulties. The actual reaching Of the
Pole means little from a practical
standpoint. but the lesson Of its sue
cessful search and discovery will in
culcate among the youth of this land
a never say die" spirit which should
prove invaluable. Upon his return
with the proofs Of his success DIR.
Cook will meet with a hearty recep-
from his countrymen.

As Editor and Proprietor of the Bingville Buglc. we have just read President Roosevelt's message We would have read this message before, but we didn't know it was out yet and wouldn't of knowed l it for some time to come, we per. soom, if Eph Higgins, our accom-. nodating P. M., hadn't give us a sample copy of a city paper which he received sometime sinct, and which remained in the P. O. un- called for, and which Eph finally opened and read and then passed on to ts.
 It is not yet too late, however, for the Bugle to take ,offishial recognishion of the Presidents s message, which we have read through very careful, and parts of which nearly give us a headache to understand. It will probably be a surprise to readers of the Bugle to learn that President Roosevelt has wrote this message unbe- knownst to them, but that's nothing this world is full of surprises. ! We don't agree with the Presi- dent in some things which he ad- vocates in his message, and we might as well say it right out in print, even though it will pain and grieve the President when he learns that we have took exception to certain things which he has wrote, but just because we don't Agree with the President on cer- tain things in his message, we are not agoing to rip him tip the back and say mean things about him that will injure his character and hurt his administration. No. we are more broad-mindeder than that and more charitable. We realize that even President Roosevelt is liable to make a mistake now and then.
 What is a Presidents message good for in a newspaper, anyhow except to spread in the cubbard shelves like the Bingville Bugle Oncet a year the President of the United States taxes his mental ! capacity to the utmost to write a message to Congress, giving Con. gress advice about what to do for the best interests of the country
 and then Congress goes ahead anc
 does what 1t pleases.
 We congratulate ourself on not Ibeing President of the United
 States, espeshially if we would half to write every year a message a.

 Gid Smalley killed old dominicker hen last Sunday morning for Sunday dinner, and when he brung the hen into the kitchen his wife bust right out into tears and said she wouldn't of mad him kill that one for anything, being as she was the one which always lays eggs with double yokes in them. Mrs. Smailey was so effeclted that she could nit eat bite of the hen at dinner, and as a result Gid ct most of the fowl up hisself at one sitting.
 We desire to state that the reason last weeks Bugle come out late was because we had sich a awful time print ing it. The ink which We use to print the Bu.'e with vas so chilled 1t would nit spread any faster than cold molasses, and 1t was impossible to keep the Buglc office het up sufficient

procured . snrrant for BiIl's arrest from Anne FiiiIyer, our J. of the P, after which he went home, polished up his poiiceman's star with sopolio, which he pinned on his coat, and after load ing up his revolver, started for Bili's blacksmith shop to take Bill Hepburn dead or alive.
 When he arrove at the shop Bill was busy shoeing horse for Piutarch Stone. Seth he bid Bill a pleasant good morning and made some comments or the weather and shifted from one fool to, the other. and hemmed and hawed and finally says te Bill: @Bili, you're under arrest ssINhat's that" says Bill as he stood up and started towards Seth. Seth he started to back away and backed into the cooling tub. in which he set down in 2 it. of water, and this ticisled Bill so that he laffed fit to bust and seemed to be in sieh a good humor that Seth told him again he was under arrest for damages to Hen Weathers- by's store and to varius citizens oi Bingville by means of conduckt unbe- coming a gentleman and blacksmith committed while he was under the ifl- fiuence of liquor.
 Seth then told Bill he might as well come along peaceful and not resist because he. Seth. didn't want to Nss force and shoot Bill dead in his tracks Tess it was necessary. Bill asked Seth if he had revolver on his person, and Seth admitted he had. Bill then tux I'D a siedge hammer and told Seth il he didn't give him that revolver that he would splatter his intelleekt all over the sl"cksmith shop, so Seth handed the revolver over to Bill without delay Bill then shot the revolver of into the floor of the blacksmith shop six times trying to see how close he could come to Seth's feet without hitting 'em Plutarch Stone says that Seth didn't tuch the floor more than twict during the shooting
 After Bill had had all the fun he wanted to with Seth, he accompanied him as nice as you please to Anne Hill yer's, where Hen Weathersby was wait ing. After considerable talk Bill agreed to pay Hen whatever damages he had did in the store, and Hen accepted this proposishion. Anne told Bill he thort he also ort to apologize to them as he had kicked and cuffed arounG, but this Bill refused to do--he said if he was tc apologize they wouldn't have as much respeclGt for him as they do at present whichc is probably true.

Roosevelt wrote. It would be ina- possible for us to do that and at the same time write news for the Bingville Bugle. You will observe we do not take up the Presidents message item by item and express opinion on it, because if we done that 1t would bias the judgment of our readers. We would prefer to let them read the message for their- selfs and make up their own minds about 1t. We will lend this news paper containing the Presidents message to them of our subscribers who desire to read the message. We would gladly print the Presi- dents message in the Bingville Bugle. but we calkilate it would take three weeks to do it, and while it was appearing there wouldn't be no room left for news or anything else.
