For some time observant people
nave noted that a great change for
the better has come over service as
well as the spirit of the Southers

been kept up long enough to become

that there was sufficient evidence In

before a jury for trial The attorney
also Coutended that the testimony of

sufficiently strong in the corroboration
of Van Ness story OF the crime. He
related number OF instances along

Attorney Horn closed the argument
for the defense and made a strong

to the North Pole and the hardships
that he and his gallant little band en-
dured is thrilling to an intense degree.
Like the novel that ends without a
satisfactory disposition of the parties
involved, the narrative is disappoint-
ing in that it does not state how the
pole looks, what proof there was that
it was really the pole and give the sur
roundings generally. AS the alleged
discoverer is going to write book he
probably received the best Of the story
