 Upon the lonely green mound in the center of this Confederate section the Daughters of the Confectionery are strug- gling to place a monument which shall be worthy not only of all the south but worthy of every Confederate soldier ev- anywhere.
 This green mound has been waiting a long time now; the United States gov ernment has finished, long since, the simple headstones and the beautiful driveways; the growing shrubbery mounting higher, the lovely flowers spreading wider, bespeak a generous act of our country. But no word Is there yet from the south, the home these men so loved-not one word to tell the count less throngs who crowd that proud city the story, the pathetic, the glorious story of such matchless love-

DR. COOKS OWN STORY OF
 THE CONQUEST OF THE POLE
Harvesting Food and Fuel for the Polar TripNarwhal
 Hunting an Exciting Sport.

whal came in our own immediate plan of adventure. The unicorn, or mar whal, does not often come under the eye of the white man, though one Of the first animals to leave our shores.
 It gave for a brief spell good results in sport and useful material. The blubber is the pride of every house. keeper, for it gives a long, hot flame to the lamp, with no smoke to spot the igloo f1nery. The skin is regarded as quite a delicacy. Gut into squares, 1t looks and tastes like scallops, with only a slight aroma of train oil.
 The meat dries easily and is thus prized as an appetizer or as lunch to be eaten en route in sled or kayak. In this shape it was an extremely use full thing for us, for it took the place of pemmican for our less urgent jour- neys.
 The narwha1, which, apart from its usefulness, is most interesting to den- izens of the arctic deep, played in schools far off shore, usually along the edge of large ice.< Its long ivory tuslls rose under spouts of breath and spray.
 When this glad sight was noted every kayak about camp was manned, and the Eskimos' skin canoes went like birds over the water. Some of the Eskimos rose to the ice fields and de- livered harpoons from a secure foot ing. Others hid behind floating frag- ments of heavy ice and made sudden rush as the animals passed.
 Still others came up in the rear, for the narwhal cannot easily see back ward and does not often turn to watch its enemies, its speed being so fast that it can easily keep ahead of other troublesome creatures.
 Hunting the NarwfaI.
 The harpoon is always delivered at close range When the dragging float marked the end of the line in tow of the frightened creature the line of skin canoes followed The narwhal is timid by nature. Fearing to rise for breath, he plunged along until nearly strangulated. When it did come up there were several Eskimos near with drawn lances, which inflicted deep .gashes.
 %@ Again the narwhal plunged deep down with but one breath and hurried along as' best it could. But it's speed s1ackened. and line of crimson mark ed it's hidden path. Loss of blood and want of air did not give it a chance to fight. Again it came up with a spout; again the Iances were hurled. The battle continued for several hours, with many exciting adventures. but in the end the narwhal always suc- cumbed, offering a prize of several thousand pounds of meat and blubber. Victory, as rule, was not gained until the hunters were far from home, also far from the shore line. But the Es- kimo is a courageous hunter and an intelligent seaman.
 Towing the Carcass,
 To the huge carcass frail kayaks were hitched in a long line. Towing is slow, wind and sea combining to make the task difficult and dangerous.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-10-11

One sees nothing of the narwhal and very little of the kayak, for dashing seas wash over the little craft, but the double bladed paddles seesaw with the regularity of pendulum.
 Homecoming takes many hours and engenders a prodigious amount of hard work, but there is energy to spare, for a wealth of meat and fat is the cul- imitation of all Eskimo ambition.
 Seven of these ponderous animals were brought in during five days, making a heap of more than 10000 pounds of food and fuel. Then the narwhals suddenly disappeared, and we saw no more of them.
 Three white whales were also obtain ed in a similar way at Etah at about the same time.

which bespeakS the torment of the storms of the setting sun.
 The gloom of the coming winter night now thickens. The splendor of the summer day has gone. A day of six months and night of six months are often ascribed to the polar regions as a whole, but this is only true of very small area about the pole.
 AS we come south the sun slips un- der the horizon for an ever increasing part of each twenty-four hours. Pre- ceding and following the night as we come from the pole there is a period of day and night which lengthens with the descent of latitude.
 It is this period which enables us to retain the names of the usual seasons summer for the double days, fall for the period of the setting sun. This season begins when the sun first dips under the ice at midnight for few moments.
 The Arctic Night.
 These moments increase rapidly, yet one hardly appreciates that the sun is departing until day and night are of equal length, for the night remains light, though not cheerful. Then the day rapidly shortens and darkens, and the sun sinks until at least there is but mere glimmer of the glory of day.
 Winter is limited to the long night,

PADS AND FASHIONS

New waists are built upon most generous lines.
 The pronounced feature of the au- tumn is the separate coat worn with the princess gown.
 Colors are the same in names as last year, but this season they are of duller hueS.
 Pretty semi-evening gowns, which the French call casino gowns are be- ing worn with but slight decolletage and transparent guimpes of tulle Or mOusseline.
 Braiding upon coats has lost none of it's vogue, and all manner of origin al results are gained by it's comb1na- tion with silk cordings, rattail buttons and made ornaments.
 New stoles are of chiffon, edged with fur to match the huff. This is the first season that this type of stole has appeared, and it is expected that it will be very fashionable.
 Many of the newest cloth gowns are made with big square revers but they are not stiff. They are merely shaped pieces of the material, allowed to fall away from the V-shaped neck.
 Childrens and infants garments copy the Empire and moyen-age ef- fleets, and frequently the latter look much better upon small girls of four than upon large ones of forty.
 Among the most beautiful new black gowns are those made of black chiffon and other materials that are thin, over fitted Things and trimmed with jets or with gold or silver embroider.es.
 Many of the most elaborate gowns are assun1ip~ draped tunic lines, and have taken on the~khottings and fussi- ness at the bottom which distinguish ed tunic original models during the summer.
 Perhaps the newest note in evening gowns is the appearance of the girdle. It is high and gives a contrast which is artistically necessary to the fitness appearing at the top of the skirt.
 The swathed turban effect, which had been promised a vogue, will, it now appears. be little in evidence, as they suit only limited type and are lacking both in smartness and pie , turesqueness.
 Women everywhere rejoice over the definite reinstatement of the cloth gown, since silks, satins and velvets cannot be made to show the chic eff feet of well-made and smartly de- signed cloth dress.
 Many of the new cuirass gowns are designed to hook under the left arm. This leaves an unbroken line at the front and back and it helps to carry out the idea of armor plate which formed the original cuirass.
 Blouses for evening are in net, both black and white, and trimmed with high stock collar. the coIlarless Dutch neck not being considered smart as a finish to dressy separate waist.

Women resid- ing in almost every city and town in the United States bear willing testi- mony to the wonderful virtue or Lydla B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

THE MIDNIGHT SUN IN THE ARCTIC.

In the immediate vicinity there were some turf and moss, but everywhere else within a few hundred feet of the sea the land rose abruptly in steep slopes of barren rock.
 To the westward across Smith sound in blue haze were seen Cape the land beyond which we hoped to cross in our prospective venture.
 The construction of a winter house and workshop called for immediate at tention after the wind subsided. Men, women and children offered strong hands to gather the stones strewn along the shore.
 When the cargo is packed in this manner the things can be quickly tossed on deck and transported to floating ice or land. Later it is possi- ble, with packing boxes of uniform size as building material, to erect eff c1ent shelter wherein the calamities of arctic disaster can be avoided. Building Winter Quarters.
 This precaution against ultimate mis- hap now served very useful purpose. Inclosing a space 13 by 16 feet, the cases were quickly piled in. The walls were held together by strips of wood or the joints sealed with pasted paper with the addition of few long boards.
 A really good roof was made by using the covers of the boxes as shin gles. A blanket of turf over this con- fined the heat and permitted at the same time healthful circulation of air. We slept under our own roof at the end of the first day, and our new house had the very great advantage of con- taining within its walls all our posses sions within easy reach at all times.
 As the winter advanced with it's stormy ferocity and frightful darkness 1t was not necessary to venture out and dig up supplies from great depths of snowdrift. Meat and blubber were stored in large quantities about the camp.
 Much Work In Sight.
 But our expedition was in need of skins and furs. Furthermore, as men engaged for ehe northern venture would be away during the spring months, the best hunting season of the year, it was necessary to make provision for house needs later. There was therefore much work before us for we had not only to prepare our equipment but to provide for the families of the workers.
 In the polar cycle of the seasons there are peculiar conditions which ap- ply to circumstances and movements. As the word seasons is ordinarily un- derstood there are but two, a winter season and summer season-a winter season of nine months and summer of three months.
 But for more convenient division of the yearly periods it is best to retain the usual cycle of four seasons. Eski- mos call the winter ookiah, which also means year, and the summer onsah. Days are sleeps The months are moons, and the periods are named in accord with the movements of various creatures of the chase.
 In early September at Annootok the sun dips considerably under the north ern horizon. There is no night At sunset and at sunrise storm clouds hide the bursts of color which are the glory of twilight, and the electric after glow is generally lost in the dull gray
