Souvenir to Yacht Club.

SYDNEY. n. S.. September 2O.-One of
the trophies which Capt. Bob Bartlett
values most highly is the clearance paper

Sydney.
The paper. which Capt. Bartlett has
guarded carefully through the fifteen
months in the north, is printed blank
which, filled in by Mr.. Richardson, reads
as follows:

Cape Breton Yacht Club, and when the
Roosevelt arrives at Sydney 1t will be
turned over to the commodore of the

Prof. Mcmillan was asked why Mr..
Peary had taken Henson with him in
preference to a man like himself. The
answer came at once:
why, it is very simple. There is no
man in our party as capable as Henson.
Nobody knows the ice like he does. He
is the best sledger and dog driver in the
world outs de of the Eskimo. He is a
practical man. and was of vastly greater
aid to Mr.. Peary than the scientists.
The strangest part of all this arctic
work is the manner in which the health

Wednesday Afternoon.
No Time For Retreat.

In an Irish garrison town a theatrical
company was giving performances, and
some soldiers from the local barracks
were engaged to act as supers. Their
duties included the waging of fierce
fight in which, after a stirring strug-
gle, one army was defeated on a given
signal from the prompter. For a few
nights all went well, but on the Friday
evening a special performance of the
piece was to be given under the patron
age of the colonel and other officers
of the garrison. The two armies met
as usual at the end of the second act,
when they fought and fought and kept
on fighting, regardless Of the agonized
glare in the eye of their actor gen
eral, who hoarsely ordered the proper
army to Retreat, confound you" But
the fight still went on, and soon the
horrif1ed manager saw the wrong army
being driven slowly OF the stage, still
fighting desperately. Down came the
curtain amid roars of laughter, and
the funing manager FASTENED TO ask
the delinquents why they had failed to
retreat on hearing the signal.
'Retraite," roared a burly fusileer
whose visage had been badly battered,

JuTANT JACKSON TELLS OF
WORK DONE DURING THE PAST
FEW WEEKS.

A series of special meetings will be
held during the coming week at the
Salvation army under the direction Of
Ensign Grass. The meetings at the
barracks will be held each evening at
is o'clock. Relative to the work being
done, Adjt. A. d. Jackson, officer in
charge, had the following to say this
morning:
There has been some very good re-
suits in the meetings of the past few
Weeks held in the army hall. Quite a
number have professed Christ, and a
few have been sanctified. A great deal
of relief work has been carried on,
also some fifty men have been given
free employment, and in the past three
weeks over 900 garments of clothing
have been supplied to the needy. There
are still quite few idle men seeking
employment, and any one needing men
will be supplied if they cali up the
army. E
1T is confidently expected that next
week win be banner week in Saliva
ton army circles. On Thursday, May
13, there will be a box social held in
the interest of the financial side of the
work in Fargo. Auct. c. e. Wilson

In tha Prsssnes of Death.

Some years ago a Swansea vessel
was caught in a terrible gale, says an
English paper. The captain had his
wife on board. and when the wind was
still rising he told her to go down be-
low and sleep, for all was well. He re-
manned on the bridge till the mate
came up and said: We've done all we
can. Hadn't you better tell the chaps
to get out the boats"
"Yes. yes, my lad, If you think so,"
said the captain, who knew the only
choice left was whether to go down
with the ship or in small boat, which
couldn't live ten seconds in that sea.
The engineers came up with the news
that the fires were all out.
'VeTy well, my lads" said the cap
tain quietly. "Save yourselves If you
can"
Wont you fetch the wife on deck,
sir?' asked one Of the men.
mo-" was the calm reply. Let her
sleep, poor grill am going down to
have a smoke" And, smoking by the
bedside Of bis sleeping wife, he went
down with the ship.

Have you heard it yet? If not you
will in the very near future IL you
have some little folks at home, for the
craze has struck Fargo with ven-
geance. The craze Of roller skating

little folks who spend their play time
roller skating on the wide cement

tricts is growing every day and in
some parts of the city the click -clacS,
click -cIack is made by so many pairs
of skates all going together that 1t
sounds like a fire team coming down
a brick paving on the run.
This craze has been common in the
east for a number of seasons, but ii
has struck Fargo with full force for
the first time this year and dealers
report big sales of roller skates for
little feet.
So far IT is only the smaller of the
little folks that have been affected by
the roller microbe. but IL what hap
pened in other cities is any criterion
