TaXing the Ships.

The new customs tax to be levied
ON foreign built yachts as provided
under the terms of the Payne law, be-
came operative today. Several com
plicated questions have arisen in con-
nection with the enforcement of the
law, but the most of these have al
ready been settled by the treasury de-
partment officials.
The new tax applies to vessels i'll
tended exclusively for pleasure craft,
which have not been admitted TO
American registry. whether owned Or
chartered. A tax of 81 per gross ton
is fixed by the new tariff act, but u
lieu of this annual assessment the pro
prietor of the yacht may. in his optic 1,
pay a fiat tax of 81 per cent ad valor
EN-, which will excuse him from the
payment of any additional annual tax
Owners OF foreign built yachts are now
busy figuring on these two PROPOSE
tions. to ascertain which form of tan
will be more economical.

IN APOSTLE of Good Cooking.

How much individual credit belongs
to Maria Parloa for the Improvement
which has taken place in American
home cooking within the last quarter
of century it is difficult to say
But that she was one of the fore
most of the advocates of a saner dies
and that she contributed materially -
a culinary reform of which the present
generation is enjoying the benefits adj
mits of no question. Miss Parloa was
one of the first to apply scientifi :
methods to cooking and to instill the
principles of domestic economy in
American homes. Through ner books
and lectures she carried OH a prop L
ganda for sound digestion which made
her name household worj
Bad cooking has not been abolished.
But it is undoubtedly not so prevalent.
The frying pan is less and the <broiler
more in evidence Breakfasts have
grown simpler; they no LONGER burden
tie digestion with many kinds of hot
breads and meats More intelligence
is put into the preparation of meat for
the table. The housewives efforts are
now concentrated on dinner, the post
ronement of which TO the end of the
day has been a pain for digestion.

loa in her way accomplished perhaps
as much for national progress as more
ambitious reformers.

would mean the election of highly
industrious judge of the supreme
court, as well as one well qualified for
the position.
Mr.. Cooke has always been a hard
worker.
The study and mastery of the pria-
ciples of the law and legal problems
has been a constant and congenial
labor for Mr. Cooke.
He would bring 10 the arduous
duties of the supreme court. in addi-
tiosi to his excellent qualifications and
his magnificent physique and perfect
health. his profound and abiding in
terest in the work and his indefati-
gable industry
The people of Illinois generally. rs
well as the voters of the Fourth dis
trict, should be pleased to see such Il
man as Mr.. Cooke elected judge uf
the supreme court.

EXPLAINS ENGINEER FEATS
How Government Is I,cclaiming Arid
lands Shows at Galena Fair.

How the United States government
has already spent more than $4,000
eco and is now spending Sl,500,000
more every month in making habitabla
land out of the arid waste of the Great
American desert is being graphically
shown at the 10 Davicss county fair
Galena, Ill. r. A. Maynard of the L. 8
reclamation service is giving an inte :
esting series of lectures or traveloguei
on the work of this new federal bu-
reau. He tells how it is constructing
la vast irrigation system throughout
the arid lands of the west so that thou
sands of settlers will be able TO make
new homes in this once barren country.
The progress already made in this di-
rection has attracted the attention Of
the engineers of the world
Towering structures in narrow can
yons with walls a half mile high are
being erected to create the largest a.
tificial lakes in The world. Tunnels
under high mountains are being eXca-
waited to carry rivers from their beds
into the valleys of other streams. The
most remarkable and stupendous en-
gineering feats are being accomplished

Why Judge Mack Declined.

Commenting on David f. Mack $
.declination of the republican nominl
tion for judge OF the supreme court,
the Quincy Whig says: "What some
of his innermost reasons are belong to
himself"
Ii was prudent in the Whig not to
claim that all of Judge Mack's 'innet-
most reasons belong to HIMSELF for
Isome of them are of great interest -
1.-THE people of the Fourth district
For example. Judge Mack's declina-
ton must have been powerfully i'll
fiuenced, if not controlled. by the fol
lowing reasons:
Because he had been made the vic
tim of joke or banter by professional
politicians.
Because the mdignified and bur-
lesque manner of his nomination hal
been scathingly condemned by such
influential republican newspapers as
the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago
Record Herald, as well as by many
| independent newspapers.
Because of grave doubt as to his
lelectlon owing TO I'd question as 70
whether the voters of the Fourth dis
trict might not prefer to keep the SUI
preme court bipartisan: (2) the gen
orally recognized qualifications and
popularity of George \. Cooke. the
democratic candidate; 60 the INJURY
done Judge Mack's candidacy by the
manner of his nomination.

Something black came into view

"They will trace you by your clothes

He glanced down at his PLAIN gray
clothes and nodded assent.

through the corn, and he followed her,
starting back, with a muttered ejacuia-
ton as black coat sleeve came into
view.

The American Who Was First to
Reach the Pole.

Those who know Dr. Cook and his
past achievements have held all along
that if any living man could reach
the pole he was the one. He was the
first white man to successfully scale
Mount Mckinley, the highest peak III
North America. And he had taken
part in two Arctic aud one Antarctic
largely chance-started him upon this
last dash.
Yet he is comparatively young
man. He was bonn at Calcoon Depo.,
Sullivan county, New York. June 10,
1865, of an old Dutch family originally
calld Koch, who had changed the name
.to/Cook. He was educated in Brook
lyn and was graduated in medicine
from the University of New York, in
1880. But he never practicsd his pro-
fession.
Within a year the tall, splendidly
built, handsome young physician was
off on the Peary expedition of 1891
He commanded the Cook expedition "a
the steamer Miranda. which failed II
1894. Not in the least discourage |,
| he was off again in 1897 on the Boil
gica expedition TO find the south pole.
| During his absence. his fiancee.
| Miss Anna l.. Forbes of Brooklyn, died.
but for more than year afterward he
knew nothing of her death
| In 1902, the year before he made his
| first effort to- climb Mount Mckinley,
a feat in which he was finally to sue.
| ceed OIL the second attempt three
years later. he married Mrs. Mary f.
Hunt of Brooklyn
Between times of his strenuous Ell
deavors, DR.. Cook found opportunity
TO write two books and many articles
on the toBic dearest to him, to act as
president of the Explorers club and
to receive decorations from sevcra
foreign societies and governments.
Dr.. Cook started on his present eX

schooner John r. Bradley. with Cap
tain Moses Bradley as sailing master
| The party was reinforced with sledges
Idogs and Arctic equipment at Etah
Greenland. whence they sailed Marcl
IL, 1908.
Dr. Cooks plan was TO set aside al
traditions by making the dash to tbs
lpole during the winter months. whpl

lvantageous for an advance northward
Dr. Cooks success is probably du

from all other explorers since tn
quest for the pole began. viz: H

smooth ice for sledging instead of opel
water for boats. AS he had exper

Olida walked down the green aisle
of waving corn. The long green
leaves hickered high over her sunny
head, and the sound of the wind
sweeping through the ten acre corn
field was like the roaring swell of the
ocean in her ears.
Now aud then she tore Il plump ear
from the juicy stalks aud thrust it i'll
her splint basket. She did this leisure
iy. for it was yet early morning. and
there were hours before dinner aud
she loved to- walk in the corn.
The rustic of the leaves drowned all
other sounds. and thus it WAS that she
came suddenly upon Il man crouchinG
on the ground before her. rs her pink
skirts came into his range of vision he
leaped TO his feet and stood. half turn
ed for flight
The girl grew white with sudden
fear and in her tUrn made as if to run
away. The mans face lost its strained
intensity ard relaxed for an Instant.
She saw that he was young and good
looking and that lie was afraid OF
something.
What do YOU want? Why are you
here:'
They're after me-" he said grimly.
"Who:"
"Thc constablcs."
What have YOU done?" She did noi
shrink away from him as lie expected
she might do.
Nothing 1T all--if You will believe
me. The Laurellon railroad station
was robbed last night, aud it seemed
necessary to arrest some one on SuS
picion As Il matter of fact, I'm one
of the faculty of the Moretou school
and I'm taking a walking tour through
New England
Il submitted TO arrest, but on my
way to the lookup my gorge rose 0t
the thought of the unnecessary iSno
miny to be thrust upon me. SO broke
