worth considering, In the next place
there isn't a book agent, insurance
agent or bill collector north of the
Arctic circle. This throws food Of
light on the subject In the third
place, the Arctic explorer never waits
iifteen minutes for a street car. lie

have TO buy a single Christmas pres.

regions are not entirely filled with
explorers and that the pole has not
been trampled into the earth under

needed? Can they be brought home?
Is the land discovered Of any use ex-
