pEARY,s FAILURE.

Commander Peary has made pub
lie his Indictment Of DR.. Cook and
submitted his evidence to . jury OF
American people. The verdict Will
be TO discredit Peary. His state

companied Cook 20 the north pole,
Ii the evidence offered to convict
Cook. 1t will be remembered that
when Peary hrst reached = point
where no could communicate with
the civilized world he declared that
he had reached the pole, and made
the positive statement that Cook had
not. His assertions, a. he proves BY
the evidence which he submits. were
based on the answers Of two ignor-
ant Eskimo companions who we're
under promise TO DIR. Cook TO not
divulge the story of the trip TO Peary
or any other person. These innocent
sons Of the north have no scientific
knowledge OF diatance or locations

faith and honor Of q party Of Chlcka-

When the Chickasaws returned to
the region Of Upton for their annual
hunt the next fall Barnes invited them
to shooting match. the prize to be

Thirty braves appeared at the con
test. and one OF them won the prize.
When be saw the skin 10 turned Il
over and said: "Ha, hal Ne XIII hlml
Me shoot him! Seer And he pointed
TO the fatal bullet hole.
Then Barnes told them that they had
killed donkey, very useful animal,
but he was sure that they had done II
by mistake. believing II 10 be q wild
animal
The Indians listened attentiVe1y TO
the white mans words and then con-
suited together few minutes. Finally
they separated. each brave going to his
pony, unhitchlng him and leading him
TO the spot where gang Of white men
stood. Barnes in the midst OF them
Then one OF the Indians spoke:
I'VE sorry we kill donkey. We think
he belong to the woods. We Hnd him
in cane. We think him Wild. We sor-
nv. Now we pay. We take no white
mans boss. pony. nothing OF white
man. We honest. We have ponies;
that's all. Take pay" And he mo-
TONED to the long line OF ponies, held

In the middle ages so little was
known or toxicology thar all sudden
and mysterious deaths were attribut-
ed 10 poison. but 10 the light OF mod
ern knowledge many OF these. says the
British Medical Journal. are now cas-
fly explained by such diseases as ap-
pendicitls and gastric ulcer. Even the
Borgias can be absolyed from many
OF the poisonings laid to their charge
Nevertheless from early times In Italy
poison was a favorite means OF ''re-
moving an enemy. In England.
France and Germany cruder methods
Of vengeance prevailed. and II was not
until the sixteenth century that the
Medicl introduced poisoning into
France. The fashion spread with ter.
rlble rapidity, and poison was employ
"a in every rank Of society to get rid
OF inconyenient persons. The art In.
trodmned into France by Catherine de-
Medici and her followers took root 50
deeply as 10 blossom later into the
black magic OF Louis XIV.'s reign.
