This should Settle 1t.

Rock Island, Oct. 27.-I was amazed
at the incongru1ties and inconsistent
cies you permitted to creep into your
Peary-Cook north pole interviews, and
little surprised that you did not seek
opinions from persons Of wider gen.
eral knowledge than those whom you
selected. I do not wish to be under
stood as fiattering myself, but for your
own information would suggest that,
If, IN the future, you wish enlighten-
ment on things scientific, you might
consult some one known to be equip
per Intellectually to discuss such a
question. Publicity is distasteful to
me-. but I must speak out in this in
stance, especially when there Is mani
testify such a glazing lack of common
sense understanding of simple propo-
sition. Il enclose you a chart show
ing the routes followed by Peary and
Cook, respectively, in their quest of
the pole). The discrepancies in the
data submitted by the explorers should
prove to the ordinary mind that DR..
Cook did not attain the coveted spot,
and that Commander Peary did. I re-
gard DR.. Cook as a bold adventurer.
On the other hand, Commander Peary
has persevered, and finally triumphed.
Kindly do not print my name.

DIARY OF AN ORDINARY HUSBAND.

Aug. 15.-The new bridge club that
my wife Joined recently had its second
meeting at the home OF Mrs. Morton

She left the price tags on the several
articles. My wife said she made Il
point to show them TO Mrs. Perkins.
The first meeting Of the club was with
Mrs. Perkins. Her prizes cost SIS.

husband is about in my class finan-
cially. | am hoping she Will go in for
something cheaper, for we get the club
after her Albright is a sensible fell

for any foolish extravaganza. At least
/ hope he won't.
Aug. 16.-My wife, as a girl, was a
fine singer She has talents, and has
been generous In assisting at charity
entertainments, but since the baby
came she has declined invitations to
participate in those public functions.
Mrs. Morton likes the limelight. There
is something on, for my wife asked me
last night what ] would say If she
would appear as one Of the heroines in
play for charity. I am reserving my
decision. OF course would be expect

Neizhborhood scandal.

Jones Is resident of an upper ward
He reached home one night recently
shortly before 1. He came in a deer
sea going In ascending the steps lead
ing to the front door he slipped and
fell. A lady occupying home on the
opposite side of the street was arous
ed by the cab She peered through q
window just in time to see Jones tum-
BILE. She called to her husband.
II believe Jones must be intoxicated,
John. He has fallen and hurt him
self, sure. It's horrible the way these
wife and dear little children. Anyway
he can't afford to keep up the pace. /
heard only yesterday that he was
threatened with suit if he did not settle
one of his bills. Can't last long. His
wife, you know, will not put up with it.
Her folks are well fixed, and she could
go to them with the children just as
we'll as not"
An automobile stopped in front of
Jones'. 1t brought the. family physi-
clan. That settled 1t.
The neighbor who had made the dis
covery had several calls to make the
next day. The news was broken at
each place, and it was a sensation in
every instance in which it was re-
peated.
Don't you know" replied one. SCI
had heard rumors of Jones bad habits.
My husband said there was nothing to
it. But you will find that the men
have habit Of sticking together"
I'm not In the least surprised an
other said. MRS. Jones was invited
out to bridge last Tuesday, and she
was missing. She said one of the chill
dren was Ill. / was suspicious then,
and 1 have since heard through a con-
fidential source that Jones had been
carrying on, and it so broke her up
that she did not care to face her
friends. Jones simply was not fit to
be seen in company. That's the plain
fact. OF course I would not have you
breathe word Of It to anyone else.
He may reform, but I have my doubts
OF It. You see, when a man reaches
his age, and begins TO go wrong, there
is little hope for him."
On her way back home the village
peddler ran across another calculator
whom she had overlooked on the out
trip. isn't It terrible about Jones?"
she began. Hes not alone disgracfng

block "a bad name. just learned in

thingi pity her."
The husband Of the woman who saw
Jones fall after leaving the cab in
front OF his house was at the dinner
table the following Saturday evening.
Game up on the car with Jones,
DEAR" he said. "He wasn't hurt that
night. He'd been east on business and

On the Party Line

Four-party telephone line 90 a. m. }
Mrs. Allen calls up Mrs. Smith. Mrs.

Mrs. Allen: ''I am nearly dead, but
I'm going If possibly can make 1t.
She's such sweet woman, and such
charming hostess; it would never do
to disappofnt her"
Mrs. Smith: Eyes, by all means.
I've heard her say many nice things
about you. Wonder If the Gregorys
are going? The mother is crab and
the daughter is altogether too nosey
for me. There is no denying they are
beautiful players, but they never have
anything to tell one. So disinterest-

Mrs. Roberts: "Centrall"
Mrs Allen: "WilI you kindly keep
