DENMARK.

One thing is absolutely certain ant
that lis that DR.. Cook has some very
staunch supporters in Copenhagen
They apparently propose to stick vi
for him until it has been absolutely
proven that he is an out and out faker
A recent dispatch says: Professor
Elias Stromgren, professor OF astron
omy in the University of Copen
hagen, who will be president of the
committee that is to investigate the
data of DR.. Frederick A. Cooks polar
expedition, came out Dec. 10 unequivo.
cally in expressing his skepticism Of
the affidavits made by Captain Loose
and George w. Dunkle, who say they
faxed the records Dr. Cook is to pre-.
sent to the commission. Professor
Stromgren intimated that the charges
in the affidavits fall of their own
weight when they assert that DR.. Cook
showed his ignorance of astronomical
observations. He said that before DR.
Cook sailed from Copenhagen fol
America, the explorer talked with
numerous Scandinavian scientists
about the very things concerning
which his accusers charge him with
being grossly ignorant, and thoroughly
satisfied the scientists of his complete
competency. Stromgren says DR.. Cool
revealed full knowledge of the facts
that Loose and Dunkle say they SUP
piled him" The Politiken, Dec TO-
says: AN unnamed Greenlander,
who is known to Rasmussen, has re.
ceived several letters urging him to
denounce Cook. Rasmussen, who is
half Dane and half Eskimo, is himself
an arctic explorer and a warm support
er of DR.. Cook" The Politiken hints
that handsome financial reward was
held out to this Greenlander If he
would denounce DIR. Cook. 1t is
pointed out here that many of those
upon whom DR.. Cook had a right
to rely for substantial proof of his
claims, both as to the north pole and to
Mount Mckinley, have been tempered
with. and the opinion Is expressed
that fortune has already been spent
In manufacturing evidence against
Cook.

TO ERADICATE THE MOSQUITO
German Government Experimenting
with Water-Plant to Kill lnfeo-
ton Carrying Pest.

Under the heading "a Vegetable
Observation-Disclosures" the Municipal
Journal and Engineer of New Yorb
published the following article:
1.-THE effort to eliminate malaria by
exterminating the mosquitoes which
are credited with transporting the
germs, is by no means confined to the
United States and Cuba. The German
government has been carrying on
operations along this same line, and
is now investigating the practicability
of importing into it's colonies the wa
ter-plant known as arZOlla, which
plant is semi-tropical and owes such
efficacy as it may have in mosquito
determination to the fact that it com.
pletely covers, the water in which II
grows to a thickness of owe two
inches, thus suffocating the mosquito
larvae and preventing the deposit OF
eggs in the water. AS this is a semi
tropical plant, it is probable that il
would not thrive in the northern part
of this country. If any ideas are en-.
tertained of testing it's virtues in the
southern states, we trust that the ex'
perience of a few years ago with the
water hyacinth in southern waters
will not be forgotten. 1t will be re
membered hat within a few years
after the Introduction Of this water
plant it had spread so abundantly as
to almost entirely interrupt naviga,
ton in certain rivers. Should the
arzolla take kindly to our southern
waters and spread over them a con
tinuous layer of two or three inches Of
vegetation the result would certainly
be disastrous. Until the existence OF
otherwise of this danger has been es
tablished, ~precaution should be taken
by the government against the intro
duction of any plant which offers such
possibilities of becoming a serious
| pest"

WILL LEAVE JOHNNY Al HOME
Next Time Mother Visits Grandfather
Youngster . Not Likely to
Accompany Her.

II think the mother Of a six-year-old
boy should have q pension to make up

fers," said just such q mother. Il
took Johnny to his paternal GRANDPA
theirs last week, and believe he has

course, we send him to Sunday school
and we both attend church, but We
do not ask a blessing at the table, nor
do we have family prayers. GRANDPA
Their does, and it happened that the
morning after we arrived Johnny was
excused from the table and went out
in the yard to play. Grandfather led
the way into the sitting room and we
all knelt down in prayer. Imagine my
horror to see Johnny's little face peer
ing curiously through the blinds and
hear him sing out: Hey, in there,
what kind of a game is that you're
playing? Amt you the rotten bunch
not to let me in on it. I arose and
softly whispered to him to run on and
play, and he sang out: You're it,
mamma, you're it; make a home run.
Now, what car you do with a small
boy, anyway? l can never explain
matters to his grandfather"

Harvest Plenty of Roughness.

You all remember the story Of the
school boy who said there were two
seasons, one the season of planting
and the other of picking. We are now
rapidly approaching the season of pick.
ing, so far as the crop of roughness is
concerned. BY roughness, it is aimed
to include all hay crops and any crop
of fodder or other forage usually fed
to stock through the winter, says Mis-.
souri, Valley Farmer.
Feed of all kinds was scarce last
spring. Grain was exceptionally 90
and on many farms where the corn
crop could have been made to yield
an abundance of roughness for the
mere work of putting it in shock, stock
lived through the spring months on a
short ration of roughness. The long
and short of it was this, many farmers
concluded they had enough Of such
feed and quit harvesting long before
they really had. AS a gentle reminder.
mentioned when timely, be sure to put
up enough this year.

IN NATURAL HISTORY


Miss Patty Shepard Of North TAir-
teenth street went to the country with
a party Of friends on Memorial day.
They stopped at q farmhouse whore
some of the party are well known.
Browsing about was an sid goat.
When Miss Patty saw her the nanny
was placidly nibbling at q few blades
OF grass. and she i~nnocently thought
that goats were strictly v~egetariaas.
On the lawn in front of the porch she
had put her handsome new peach
basket hat, trimmed with pretty ar
tificial roses, which she had got from
the store the night before. The goat
saw the hat and advanced joyfully to
ward it. Miss Patty laughed. The
old think thinks they're real roses"
she laughed. Wont she be fooled
when she smells them?"
Everybody sat still to watch the
goat smell the artificial flowers and
walk away. But the goat fooled them.
The next week Miss Patty bought
another hat.-Philadelphia Times.

lIKENED HERSELF TO ELIJAH
Somewhat Peculiar Light In Which
Pious Old Lady Regarded Cats
Act Of Theft.

A reporter, during the Dayton cele.
brations. condemned the numerous
pilferers of Wright aeronautical ideas.
They pilfer SO smugly. too" the
reporter said. They pretend that the
ideas they steal were born in their
W brains years ago. Strange,
though, isn't it, that you alone pat
ented these ideas and put them to
practical use?"
Orville Wright smiled and an
swered:
They have indeed a righteous air,
these p~ilferers. They actually believe,
l am sure, hat they have just claim
to the ideas they fitch. They remind
me of old Mrs. Harrington.
"A neighbor of old Mrs. Harring-
tons killed a fine pig one day. He
cut it up and hung the pieces in his
woodshed. Mrs. Harrington's cat
climbed into the shed hat night,
stole a large pork chop and carried it
home to her mistress.
1.-THE minister happened to call on
the old lady the mex day. She was
just frying the chop. She told the
minister how miraculously it had been
brought to her by the cat.
And oh, sir she said, piously, 1T
was most beautiful to see the way the
sweet animal brought me the pork
chop. 1t quite recalled to my mind

restoration to health means so much

R.F.D ,Graniteville, VT.
No other medicine for woman's Ills
has received such widespread and I'M
qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such a record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely
