COOK MUST PROVE TITLE.
Claim to Have Reached Pole Not Unchal
lenged.

DIR. Cook will have to come out of the
north armed and equipped with indisput-
able data if he hopes to convince geo.
graphers that he has attained the North
Pole. His story of the journey as print
ed in the New York Herald leaves much
to be desired. DR.. Cook claims to have
averaged fifteen miles a day on the last
thirty days of his dash to the north. In
a straight line from Heiberg Island
(Which does not appear Oh the maps, and
if it is where he states it is must be
about $50 miles north of Heiberg Land
and of Cape Hubbard) the explorer had
400 miles to go Allowing for the east
ward drift OF the ice and the obstacles
which he had to go around, this 460 miles
must have stretched into $50 miles, for it
must be remembered that he had to
travel westward to overcome the east
ward drift. Therefore he must have
covered nearer twenty miles than fifteen
miles day. This in SO degrees below
zero 1.-THE lowest temperature we havd
seen recorded) where the heaviest kline
OF clothing was necessary was a hercu-
lean task and DR.. Cook S physical ability
to accomplish it will be questioned The
confederation Of his claims by the two
Eskimos is of no value. Cook said to
them E'Here it is" but they could not
tell whether they were there or 400 miles
away. The fact that it took the explorer
about thirty days to go and 800 days to
return is interesting but of no value in
establishing his claim. Among the ex-
plantations offered for the speed of Cook
is that he was equipped with curious
contrivance savoring of an amphibious
automobile, combination of motor boat
and ice runner, built for DR.. Cook by his
brother, which acts as a high-power
motor boat in the water and runs on a
combination of toothed wheels and run
ners on ice. This makes the statement
of Mr.. Bradley, Cooks hacker, that the
equipment contained 5000 gallons of gas
olene and two barrels of gumdrops high
ly important. The strife that will rage
over this question will be scarcely less
strenuous than DR.. Cooks journey itself.
The question will be; Did DR.. Cook reach
the North Pole with his pen or on his
feet? Is il the feat or the fake of the
age?-Boston Transcript.

Massachusetts, Free Libraries.

Every town in Massachusetts but New
bury, Washington and Plainville has now
free library, and the two first named
have free library rights in adjoining
towns. The gift of 5000 by the State to
libraries complying with easy conditions
has helped found many collections. One
hundred and eigtty-one library buildings
have been given to the 353 towns, not to
speak of some erected by taxation, al
though outside of Massachusetts it is es-
timated that not over fifteen per cent of
towns of even 5000 to 10000 population
have public library buildings. Visitors
are surprised to find individual and often
artistic library buildings in tiny Massa-
ehusetts villages, which, in contrast to
Puritan neighbors of white clapboards
and green blinds, hint at more cosmo-
politan origins through soft-hued things,
stained glass or romanesque arch. -Bos-

Country Fairs.

The country fair is one of thegreatest educa
tional institutions we have.-Kennebec journal
Some even learn which shell the pea is un-
der.-Boston Globe.
Country fair seasons come and go, but
like the brook the joke about the shell
game goes on forever, unchanged and
unimproved. In this it differs from the
country fair, which, no longer short on
exhibits and long on gambling, is, as our
Maine contemporary declares, one of the
great educational institutions.
The country fair, its rivalries and its
prizes, to an extent the city dweller can
not appreciate, has improved the stand
ard of farm products and aided in raising
the standard of farm living. It has made
for better vegetables, better cattle, bet
ter and purer dairy products. Minus the
old-time gambling attachments it provides
healthy entertainment as well.
AS an educator and entertainer we hope
its longevity will equal its popularity

Literary News and Notes.

How firmly rooted in the heart of
Young America is baseball is eloquently
portrayed in the picture on the front
cover of the September American Boy.
The contents of this issue cannot fail to
interest and delight every reader. There
are more chapters Of the fine serials, The
Young Continentals at Lexington and
Winning his Shoulder Straps, the begin
ming of a two-part serial, The Senior and
the Signals, a story of college baseball,
stirring short stories and interesting and
instructive articles, with rs Illustrations.
Beginning with the cover design, a set
ter pup in full colors, Recreation for
September, now for sale by all news
dealers, is page for page the most inter
esting and most sumptuously illustrated
number this magazine has ever published.
The leading feature of the September is
sue is an article on hunting the white
tailed, or Virginia deer, by T. S. Van
Dyke, author of 1.-THE Still-Hunter, "
who has long been a favorite writer
among the million hunters of America.
All in all, September Recreation will de-
light and please all outdoor people.
In the Atlantic Monthly for September,
j. @. Pagan attacks the difficult problem
which confronts the Pennsylvania rail-
road on account of its refusal to meet the
demands of the railroad brotherhoods for
an increased share in the management of
the road. The Pennsylvania is the last
of the personally managed roads, and
this struggle gives Mr.. Pagan concrete
instance of Importance to demonstrate
what he believes to be the necessity of
authority in railroad management. The
other side of the question is taken by W.
J. Cunningham, who contributes to the
number an article strongly in opposition
to Mr.. Pagan and in direct support of
the position taken by the brotherhoods.
The fiction of this number is particularly
suggestive. The stories are Eye and

QUADRUPLETS (?) IN DOVER.

DOVER, Me-, August 81. Rev. anc
Mrs. Samuel H. Seccombe, formerly OF
Goshen, Mass, with their eight children,
four Of whom they claim are bankruptcies,
arrived here last evening and are staying
at the Dover House on South street.
Their destination is said to be Milo, Il
miles from here. They were delayed
here on account Of their baggage having
been missent to Dover, N. H. They ex-
pect to make their home in the future in
this county, where they have friends.
In this connection the following article
from the Atchison, Kansas, Globe print
ed under the caption of ga Queer Story
will be read with interest:
Are the bankruptcies that the Rev. and
Mrs. Samuel H. Seccombe brought to
Goshen, Mass, as their own, spurious?
The people of the little town where Mr..
Seccombe was engaged to preach in the
Congregational church are amazed at
some of the developments. The parents,
who have with them four other children,
have been the objects of sympathy be-
cause of their needy circumstances, and
there have been large contributions of
money. The bankruptcies were born, it
was said, in Chicago, May 26th. The
mother arrived at Goshen with the chill
dren June 2lst, to join Mr.. Seccombe.
Mrs. Seccombe's explanation was that
she was frightened by burglar break
ing into the house and attacking her.
Persons who are acquainted with the
seccombe family in Chicago, and were
the next neighbors, say no babies were
born in the Seccombe household. They
say a baby was adopted in April, and
they are sure Mrs. Seccombe's house
was not entered by burglar. Mrs.
Seccombe's story is that she was attend
ed by woman physician, DR.. G. G.
Craig, but no such doctor is registered in
Chicago Since the family has been in
Goshen, people have come by teams and
touring cars in great numbers to see the
wonderful bankruptcies, and, in many in
stances the contributions have been gen
erous. The developments have caused
the people of Goshen to bar Mr.. Sec
combe from the pulpit. The last Sunday
he is reported to have said to one of the
church people: Sometimes l feel that
the Lord has overwhelmed me with bles-
sings, and again ask myself what have
| done that he should aff1ict me so in
sending me four babies" Mr.. Seccombe
is So years old, and graduate of Am
herst college. His wife was from Maine,
and before her marriage was a nurse in

Footwear to be Higher.

The price of shoes, instead of being
reduced as a result of the removal OF the
duty on hides, will be increased, Inc
reason is that the price of hides,
which determines that of the shoes, is
not materially affected by the tariff and
is at an excessively high point because
the demand for hides greatly exceeds
the supply. This is the substance OF the
statement issued by Pres. Charles ii;
Jones of the Commonwealth shoe and
leather company in response to inquiries
from all sections of the country as to the
probable course of shoe prices in the near
