the two republics have exchanged
greetings while In Office. and the event
Is one Of unusual interest because II
will 10 all probability be the great
Mexican's last trip to Americas soil
Twenty-six years ago Diaz came to
the United States, but that was before
his wise rule had made him universal
ly recognized as one OF the great men
Of the world. This visit will be made
by a ruler whose greatness is a prov
erb, whereas the visit Of 1888 was that
merely OF a southern ruler whose
standing among nations was only be-
ginning to be felt as better than that
Of the little despots farther southwark
An added interest Is lent by the fact
that the great work to which General
Diaz has given his life is practically
accomplished and that before long
Mexico will have to demonstrate for
herself whether her superiority over
other southern countries is due only to
Diaz or whether she herself deserves
some of the credit
President Diaz first will visit Mr.
Taft In the city OF FL Paso. Tex. Then
the president. crossing the interna-
tional bridge over the Rio Grande, will
return the call In the quaint little
Mexican village. OF Ciudad Juarez.
United States troops will be gathered
at FL Paso aud Mexican troops at Gu
dad Juarez TO lend an official aspect TO
the exchange OF formalities.
In FL Paso the president and other
distinguished guests will view a gor.
geous pageant. which will pass the re-
viewing stand at IL O'clock. Bands
and military Of both republics will be

a girl Of sixteen.
In 1898 Mr.. Bridgman was with the
Peary north pole expedition as a tax
idermist and In 1901 was placed in
charge Of the relief ship Erik and
proved himself capable commander.
incidentally the friendship between
himself and Peary was cemented even
more strongly. for the explorer knew
that no one wished for his success
more than Bridgman.
In 1899. the year that Mr.. Bridgman
returned with Peary after his expert
ences as a taxidermist, the Peary Arc
tic club was organized, and Mr.. Bridg-
man was made secretary and treas
urer, which position he has held ever
since.

goal.
A most prominent figure In the Cook
achievement Is John r. Bradley, who
financed the expedition. fitting 1t out
at great expense with an equipment
that had much to do with the success
Of the explorer. The two men plan
ned and studied this trip months be-
fore 1t started, and DR.. Cooks hacker
was sure Of the result from the begin
ming.
Mr.. Bradley is a resident Of New
York and has gained much fame as a
hunter aud traveller. He has shot big
game IN nearly every country In the
world and has also made some noted
exploring trips. Shortly after Cook re-
turned to civilization he wired Bradley
as follows:
"Neither In the frigid triumph at
pole nor in the stormy harvest Of the
present have forgotten that to John
r. Bradley belongs at least one-half
OF the credit"
Shortly after Peary's announcement
OF his arctic success came the sad
news OF the death Of the chief scien-
tist OF his expedition, Professor Ross

II. as many writers have suggested,
1t Is the soul itself that guides the i'm
agery Of dreams, how are we to ex-
plain the fact that In this chaos Of
Ideas and feelings there Is so little dis
tinctiOn between right and wrong that
when dreaming we commit acts for
which we should weep tears of blood
were they as real as they seem to be.
As Professor Hoffman has said, "The
familiar check of waking hours, 4
must not do 1t because 1t would be un-
just or unkind,' never once seems to
arrest us In the satisfaction Of any
whim which may blow about our way
ward fancies."
From all of which we must conclude
that the dream realm Is world that is
entirely oblivious to any moral sense
and that. though 1t may be true that
troubled conscience may produce or
affect our dreams, the dreams them
selves are never burdened with con-
science.-Bohemian Magazine.
