As to fashions that will be popular,

buttons are sure to be favorites.
Fabrics to be most used are serges and

Think He'll Get There.
That Capt. ROAD Amundsen will reach
the north pole with his team of polar
bears is the general belief of his many
friends In this country, who have watched
the daring explorer since he first found
the true magnetic pole. When a few
years ago he forced the northwest pass
age in the little schooner the Norwegian
explorer became the talk Of the civilized
world. President Roosevelt received him
at the White House and introduced him
to his family.
Amundsen has had much experience in
the arctic regions, and for years has
ton. That he should have hit upon
using a polar bear team is no surprise
to his friends. True, up to this time no
arctic explorer has ever made use of
the polar bear. except for eating pur-
poses. It was always believed that the
creatures were too wild and could never
be trained to go In harness.

Peary. Cook and all the other polar ex-
plorers have used dogs to drag their
sledges. When provisions ran low the
dogs had to be killed and the meat fed to

plorers lived on arctic dog meat. With
the polar bears it is different. Should pro-

All in all. Capt. Amundsen's scheme is

Peary returned from an arctic trip sew

MILWAUKEE. Wis.,, October 1.-THE
two Eskimos who accompanied me to the
north pole-Etukishook and Ahwelah-
will not arrive In this country until next
year. said DR.. Frederick A. Cook yester-
day inanswer to a question Of when his
two companions to the pole might be ex-
pected. 1T is too late in the season now
to get them there, as by this time it is
dark up there. They will be brought
here next year.
When DR.. Cook arrived, in spite of the
early hour. there was a crowd at the
Union station to welcome the explorer.
and as he walked through the gates three
cheers were given him. There was an in
formal reception at the Pfister Hotel.

rum. At the close Of his uecture he left

What were Etukishook and Ahwelah
offered If you reached the pole?" the ex-
plorer was asked after the lecture.
"a knife and a gum" replied DIR. Cook
with his quiet smile. But they got much
more than that. They had a number of
chester and Misunderstanding rifles which
use powder and ball.
DO you think they knew the danger?'
mo. l think not. 1t was something to
which they were accustomed
did you expect to come back when

as that
When asked about the gumdrop story
DR.. Cook came as near a silent laugh as
he permits himself to indulge in.
Sweets, Not Gumdrops.
Sweets would be a better word" he
said. 1.-The Eskimos are fond of sweets.
and by giving them these you can get a
great deal of work done. 1t was no use
to give them money. as there is nothing
there that it will buy.

they have not come in contact with white
