LIEUT.. PEARY ASSERTS PRIORITY

New YoRK, Sept. Lieut.. Robert T..
Pcary, U. 5. n, reached the north pole
on April g, 1909, according to a telegram
received 10y the New York Times Sunday
night from the explorer. Peary's dis
covery, coming as it.docs on top of that
of DIR. Cook, will cause the greatest in
terest throughout the world. The first
dispatch from Peary announcing his dis
covery was received here by the Sun.
II was sent from Indian Harbor via Cape
Ray, n. F., and read us follows:
Stars and Stripes nailed TO the north
pole"
Another message from Pcary was re-
cciycd in Brooklyn yesterday afternoon
addressed to Herbert l.. Bridgeman, one
OF Peary's chief supporters. 1t was dated
St. Johns, n. F., and read:
''Pole reached. Roosevelt safe"
Indian IIarbor, from which Peary's first
message was sent, is on the northeast
coast of Labrador. 1t was sent from there
by wireless to Cape Ray Another mes
sage from Peary TO a newspaper says he
will be at Chateau Bay, Labrador, Tues
day afternoon and file full story of his
trip.
A dispatch from st. Johns, n. F., says
that Peary wired the governor of New
foundand informing him he reached the
north pole and congratulating the colony
on its connection with the discovery. Capt.

Roosevelt are all natives of the colony.
The governor forwarded suitable con-
gratulatory reply.
The telegram TO Bridgeman was sent i'm
cipher. The cipher used was private
one and it indicates clearly that the dis
patch was sent by Peary. When the text
of the message was read TO him by tele-
phone, Bridgeman, who was at Amherst,
Mass, said:
THAT settles it beyond doubt. That
phrasing is the exact one that Peary and
l agreed upon before he went north"
The Roosevelt, Peary's ship, left New
York on July 8, 1908, and steamed by to
Oyster Bay, where Roosevelt and his fami.
ly inspected her. On the following day
the ship with all members of the party
aboard except Peary, sailed for Sydney
Nova Scotia, whittier the commander
himself went by train. The Roosevelt left
Sydney on July IL, sailed to Hawkes. Har
Dor, Labrador, where the supply tender
Erisk was taking on cargo of coal, whale
blubber, and thence, accompanied by the
tender, it made north for Etahford.

You cawn't just say! And what

Here are the cocoanuts."
Bright boy! go to the head of the
class! Just take some more husk off

Winthrope caught up one of the
nuts, and with the aid of his knife
stripped 1t of it's husk. At a gesture
from Blake he laid it on the bare
ground and the American burst ii
open with a blow of his heel 1t was
an immature nut, and the meat proved
TO be little thicker than clotted cream.
Blake divided it into three parts, hand
ing Miss Leslie the cleanest.
Though his companions began with
more restraint, they finished their
shares with equal gusto. WINTHROP
needed no further orders to return to
his husking. One after another the
nuts were cracked and divided among
the three, until even Blake could not
swallow another mouthful of the
luscious cream.
Toward the end Miss Leslie had be-
come drowsy. At Winthropes urg-

could get along all right without his
mother. o, how many boys there are
in the world who think that they can
cut loose from mother the way Freddy
Gronbaldt thought he could. How
many boys there are who are afraid of
the taunts of coarse companions about
their mothers apron strings.
Freddy Gronbaldt was like that
once, but not now. He has shed his
bitter tears; he has known what it
is not to have a mothers fiapjacks on
a cold winter morning, but now the
wanderer has returned.
1t wasn't many days after that that
he got his feet wet. They were wet
through his shoes and stockings, and
he told his wife SO when he went
home. Then he waited and waited for
her to fix the hot water with the mus
tard in 1t to soak his feet in. If she
only had been thoughtful enough for
that it would have Offset the damp
ness, and he would have been as bright
and well as ever on the next morn
ing. But she didn't and Freddy was
too discouraged to ask her any more
to do things that mother always had
done for him.
BY and by Freddy's stockings were
eut at the heels. He was always hard
on stockings. Well, his wife did darn
them as we'll as she knew how. He
gives her credit for that. But she
didn't darn them anything like mother
used to. There was a great round
wad at the heel and as soon as Freddy
tried to wear them and walk around
on those hard Jersey City sidewalks
they almost killed him.
He went home and, bravely refrain.
ing from telling the agony his feet
were in, asked IL they couldn't have
some fapjacks. 1t was a raw, cold
day, and Freddy's mother always had
batch of buckwheats on such days.
because they are so heating. His
wife said she didn't know how to
make batter.
That was a little more than even
Freddy could stand. His headstrong
pride gave way. He ran weeping from
the house, and did not stop till he fell
breathless from his sobs and exercise
into h. pothers' arms.
