Remember that Cardui is a vege-

Matrimony.
BY RAMSEY BENSON.

Matrimony is no doubt "a treacher-
GUS sea underlaid with cruel rocks
and wrapped in bathing vapors. But
love finds way, and in the light of
it the vapors get to look gloriously
rosy.
And certainly where ignorance is
bliss and marriage an ordinance of
social expediency, It's worse than
folly for people to know when they
are well off,
Nor would it necessarily avail them
to know, because, while knowledge is
power, it isn't always power enough.
as is shown by the wisest of us not
being invariably able to refrain from
marrying.
Angels would do well to ask them
selves whether, by being, overly
squeamish, they don't open the way
for just so many more fools to rush
in.-Puck.

Pole now that 1t has been found?
What good is 1t? What does its dis
covery mean, beyond the daring ex-
plot Of courage and endurance?
1t means that for the first time in
the history of the world an accurate
chart OF the globe can be fashioned.
Until the exact shape of the earth is
known no boundary line can be drawn
with absolute correctness, and shoals
and dangerous rocks along the sea
coasts cannot be plotted with unerr-
Ing certainty. The discovery OF the
Pole will settle the great question Of
the earth's ellipticity whether or
not there is a fiattening of the sur
face at the poles. At the present
time, in all calculations, in survey
ing as well as charting, there is an
error to be figured upon. A mistake
in making the proper correction of
the sea sometimes runs the ship upon
the rocks The most decisive data
concerning the elliptical contour Of
the earth can be obtained only
through observations at the poles.
Mans first arrival at the point
where there is no north also means
the discovery of the most valuable in
formation regarding the origin and
existence Of the human race. This
was set forth by Walter Wellman on
the occasion of Peary's departure for
the Arctic in 1900. Mr.. WellmaD
said:
"The North Pole is a great prize to
win. 1t is worth winning not alone
because the world stands ready to
applaud and reward him who first
sets foot there, but because in the do
ing of it great benefits are to be
gained for the human race and for
the cause of knowledge.
"The pioneer expedition to the
heart of the inner polar region, to the
Pole itself or its vicinity, will not only
bring back a story of adventure, Of
hardship, of achievement which will
stir the blood of all who admire cour-
age and physical prowess and triumph
over the difficulties of nature, but it
will return with valuable informa-
ton regarding the magnetic and cleo
trical forces of the earth, now so little
understood; concerning meteorology
and geology, the form and extent of
unknown lands, If any exist; the
depths of the sea and the currents
thereof, the organic life of our own
and past ages and the great problem
of glaciation, which involves the his
tory of the human race"
All sorts of meteorological, tidal
and magnetic observations must be
made at the Pole before full com
prehension of natures laws and !
processes can be obtained.
The North Pole is simply the math-
ematical point which marks the |
northern termination Of the axis of
the earth. 1t is place where there
are 80 degrees of latitude or none,
and $50 degrees of longitude or none,
Just as one prefers to look at it. At
the North Pole there is no west nor
east nor north. Whatever way a man
stepped he would have to go south.

The dream OF finding the North
Pole has for centuries lured explorers.
scientists and daring adventures.
The first polar expedition was sent
out by Henry VIII. Of England IN
1897. One ship was lost off New
foundland, the other returned to Eng
fl4nd. In 1896 William Barentz. at
the head Of Dutch expedition,
searching for the Northwest Passage,
was the first to cross the eightieth de-
gree OF north latitude. Captain Parry
in 1927 was the first to use sledges in
Arctic exploration

frated the ice fields In the Erebus and
Terror, and thereby gave. the Arctic
It's greatest tragedy. 1t was not until
1859 that information Of the two
ships was obtained in the form Of a
brief record written In 1847, when
twenty-four men had persisted. Many

but the full story of the loss of
Franklin and All his men never has
been learned.

is now we'll on the road to re-
covery. Her parents arrived
from their home in Missouri one
day this week, and are now at
the bedside of their daughter.
The young man who did the
shooting has not been arrested
for his deed. 1t lis certain he
did not intend to do violence to
any one in the hack, all Of whom
were strangers to him. 1t is
claimed by the boy, it is said,
that he did not think the small
rifle would carry bullet to the
hack, the distance being too
great, also he did not think he
had the gun exactly in range
with the vehicle.
The very least that can be said
is that the boys act was a bit of
malicious recklessness, and it is
fortunate for him that no more
serious results followed.

PRISONERS ESCAPE.
Two Men Break Jail Saturday Night
But Are Again Captured.

Ing and Robert Thompson, the
two men confined in jail here
for the robbery of rr. John.
ston's drug store at Hardy, made
their escape.
The men were shackled to-
gether and were being kept in
the north room of the Jail, hav-
ing been removed from the cage
same time ago. In some manner
they managed to get out of this
room, whereupon they entered
the room in which the cage is
located, climbed up on the cage
structure from which point they
made an entrance into the jail
loft. Once in the loft the men
reached the ground through the
Mole which all who have seen the
Jail know is situated in the south
end of the Jail. 1t will also
be seen that it is a difficult Job
for two men whose legs are
shackled together to crawl
through such small space and
drop together to the ground sew.
eral feet below. The prisoners
say they had hard work in doing
this.
Immediately after freeing
themselves the men secured the
axe kept at the Jail and sue
ceeded in breaking away the
chain which united their shack
les, but they could never free
themselves from that part Of the
shackle around the leg, and
when captured each man had a
band around his leg, which,
while not hindering their prog
ress, no doubt had a large part
in their capture, as they were
afraid to be seen on account of
the tell tale shackle bands lock-
ed around their legs.
The men escaped about seven
o'clock and Sheriff Smith and a
small posse was soon in pursuit,
The sheriff chose to 60 towards
Ash Flat, believing that the
prisoners were better acquainted
with the country to the north and
would choose that route TO gain
their freedom. However, moth
ing was heard from the mer
during Saturday night or during
the following two days anc
night. In the meantime SheriI
Smith was concentrating his ef'
forts in the vicinity Of Ash Flat
and had q large number Of mel
on guard in that section, it be-
ing the general opinion that tn
prisoners had not passed tha
town and were in hiding some
where near.
Just after dark Monday nigh
Joe Lowery and II. l.. Stephens
who were in the party Of search
ers, saw a couple Of men stand
