PEARY'S EvIDENCE
 AGAINST DIR. COOK

Eskimo boys were suggested by Com mander Peary to some of us, and were put by us to the Eskimo boys
 Still later, Commander Peary asked the Eskimo boys two or three casual questions on minor points that had occurred to him.
 During the taking of this testimony, it developed that Dr. Cook had told these boys, as he told MT. Whitney and Billy Pritchard, the cabin boy that they must not tell Commander Peary or any of us anything about their journey, and the boys stated Dr. Cook had threatened them if they should tell anything.
 The narrative of these Eskimos is as follows:
 They. with Dr. Cook, Francke and nine Other EskimoS. left AnoratOk. crossed Smiths Sound to Cape Sabine, slept in Commander Peary's old house in Payer Harbor, then went through Rice Strait to Buchanan Bay. After q few marches F'rancke and three Eski- mos returned to Anoratok.
 Dr. Cook, with the others, then pro- ceeded up Flagler Bay a branch of Buchanan Bay, and crossed Ellesmere Land through the valley pass at the head of Flagler Bay, indicated by Con- mander Peary in 1898, and utilized by Sverdrup in 1899, to the head of Sver- drup's Bay Fiord'' on the west side of Ellesmere Land.
 Their route then lay out through this ford, thence north through Sverdrup's "Heuerka Sound" and Nansen Strait. On their way they killed musk-oxen and bear, and made caches, arrir ing eventually at point on the west side of Nansen Strait (shore of Axel Hei- berg Land of Sverdrupl, south of Cape Thomas Hubbard.
 A cache was formed here and the four Eskimos did not go beyond this spoint. Two others, Koolootingwah and Inughito, went on one more march with Dr. Cook and the two boys, help ed to build the snow igloo, then re- turned without sleeping. (These two Eskimos brought back a

This information was obtained not from the two Eskimo boys, but from the six men who returned and from Francke himself, and was known to us in the summer of 1908. when the Rooserelt first arrived at Etah. The information is inserted here as supplementary to the narrative of the two boys)
 After sleeping at the camp where the last two Eskimos turned back, Dr. Cook and the two boys went in a with two sledges and twenty odd dogs, one more march. when they encoun tered rough ice and a lead of open wa ter. They did not enter this rough ice, nor cross the lead. but turned west ward or southwestwarI a short dis tance and returned to FIciberg Land at point west of wEere they had left the cache and where the fcar men had turned back.

the house, will soon blossom out and

to have a carriage with two prancing

Then some foe of rural simplicity
slipped over to the senate and whis-
pered that Speaker Cannon should
have carriage. To make consistency
a jewel it was suggested that the gov

The bait was swallowed in connec-

legislative executive and judicial ap-

vice-president and speaker shall each
have a carriage.
1t was figured that two prancing

"Mark Twain" Incorporated,

Whatever may be the psychic condi.
tion of Samuel L. Clemens, Mark
Twain may be presumed to have part
ed with his soul-having converted
himself, his name and all that pertains
thereto into that soulless no less than
invisible and intangible entity known
as a corporation. But it is in a good
cause, that this psychic annihilation
has been endured, and the world will
be disposed to praise rather than
blame him for what is an act Of real
providence and forehandedness. 1t is
for the sake of his children, says the
New York Globe, who as his heirs may
be able because of this action to enjoy
the fruits Of his labor much longer
than they otherwise would. For it is
believed that Mark Twain, Incorporat-
ed, will be proof against all pirates, re-
spectacle or otherwise, where plain
Mark Twain would be without defense.
1t is even fondly hoped that Mark
Twain, Incorporated, will be able, in
some sort, to prevail against the copy.
