A MISLEADING SIGN

The sign in front of the postoffice
often proves very misleading and goes
to show how easy it is for one to ex-
perience an optical illusion. The sign
reads Painters Wanted but a casu-
al glance at it with the knowledge that
Congressman Barnard is soon to make
his appointment, has such an influence
on the mind as to affect the eyesight.
and in more than one instance the sign
has been improperly read POSTMASTER
Wanted" A we'll known local mer-
chant gazed at the sign for full min
ute yesterday afternoon and then re-
marked that that was the first time he
ever knew they advertised for a post
master. and that he guessed he would
apply for the job. He was told to
read the sign again and more careful
ly. He did. and the beautiful wealth
er we are now having" was then dis
cussed.

Explorer Declares Command
er Scott Has the Rights
Down There.
GIVES UP HIS OWN PLANS
NAVAL OFFICER HAS RETURNED
TO WASHINGTON TO WORK ON
HIS FORTHCOMING sook-Is-
SUES A STATEMENT.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 11-While
reiterating his oft expressed belief
that the United States should attempt
national expedition into antarctic re-
gions, Commander Robert E. Peary de-
clared that because of the fact that
Commander Robert F. Scott of the
British navy is working on a south
pole expedition it would be improper
to attempt to utilize his route or the
regions in which he is to work. There
fore, he said, he has given the matter
no further thought since his return
from the north, when he stated that
his field work was at an end.
Commander Peary repudiated the
announcement printed in several news
papers that within five years he would
head an expedition to seek the south
pole under the auspices of the Peary
Arctic club.
Says Statement Is Erroneous.
He dictated the following statement:
THAT statement is erroneous. In
May, 1908, sent a brief announcement
through the medium of the interna-
tional polar commission at Brussels
saying that on my return from this ex-
petition I hoped to organize an expe-
dition that should obtain for this
country it's share Of the honor snd sci
entific material yet to be obtained in
the antarctic regions. l noted in that
announcement also that President
Roosevelt was interested in the gen.
eral proposition and approved of it.
when I came back from this pres
ent expedition to the north l stated
explicitly that my field work, both in
the arctic and antarctic regions, was
at an end, but that should be glad to
assist in any way possible in the pro-
motion or organization Of further work
in those regions.
Scott Should Have Clear Field.
I'm view OF the fact that Command

er Scott is working on an expedition
for the attainment of the south pole,
any attempt to utilize his route or the
regions in which he is to work would
be entirely improper to attempt.
81 still believe that this country
ought to attempt a national expedition
into the antarctic regions; but under
existing conditions I have not given it
further thought since my return. The

est them in the performance of THE
Canterbury Pilgrims which the Co.
burn Players will give at the Gennett

to say that this poetic comedy by Mr..
Percy Mackaye has created quite a
revival of interest in Chaucer through
out the universities of the East and
South where the Coburn players pro-
duced 1t during the summer. Mr.. Mac
kaye has taken his characters from
those whom the Father of English
poetry immortalized in 1.-THE Canter-
bury Tales and has made Chaucer
himself the gayest spirit of them all.

St. Elmo.

Since the first appearance Of "St.
Elmo" many years ago, its author.
Augusta Evans Wilson, has enjoyed a
unique fame, more especially in the
South. which afforded her inspiration
for her notable work. Written in the
peculiar and dignified style that char
acterized the mental attitude of that
day. and with extraordinary insight
into the thoughts and habits of men,
the book sets forth in interest COM
polling fashion romantic story that
has never since ceased to appeal. For
many years Mrs. Wilson absolutely re-
fused to have the book dramatiZed,
and 1t was not until a few months be-
fore her death that she decided to
have 1t presented in dramatic form
and her happy choice of Willard Hol-
comb. as the person to do this work
for her has since proven the good
judgment of her selection. This adap-
tation is the only authorized drama
tization and will be presented at the
Gennett next Wednesday, November
II, matinee and night.
