THURSDAY, OCTOBER 81, 1909.

The North Pole controversy will not
be settled 10y Eskimo testimony. If the
Eskimos are ~ ignorant as they are re-
ported to be they know nothing OF maps
and charts. Peary will do well to pro
duce his "other proofs" if he has any,
and it is folly for Cook to talk of bring
ing two Eskimo boys to the United
States
1t j. probable that the average Eski'
mo. under the influence Of few gum
drops, would say anything that was de
sired if be were able to understand what
was wanted of him. 1t is quite certain
that Cooks Eskimo boys know as little
about the maps shown them by Peary :
men AZ they know about metaphysics.
That they could have been able to trace
out the route Of their alleged journey
with Cook without prompting is not
conceivable, Maps and charts are con-
fusing to persons of ordinary intelll-
gence who are not familiar with them.
They are beyond the comprehension Of
those who are illiterate.
Harry Whitney is an honorable man
and he has said that Cooks Eskimos told
him they did not understand the maps
Peary's men had shown them. Deposi.
tions are of no value in law unless both
parties to the controversy are represent
ed when they are taken. Eskimo testi-
lnonv, if valuable at all, would be so
only when taken on the deposition plan
with both parties represented. Neither
Peary nor Cook is likely to make ont
case on the unsupported testimony of
Eskimos Al present the question of
veracity is between Peary and Cook and
the controversy viii not be settled by
shifting it to two Eskimos, Etukishuk
and Ahwelah.
Peary Will have to produce something
more convincing than his Eskimo map
to establish his claim that Cook is Il ia.
ker, and Cook will not help his claims
by bringing the Eskimo boys to the Tn
tied States. In the final hearing on this
controversy the public will require evid.
ence more cOrrobDrative than Eskimo
testimony,

their pupils into civilized and decent
citizens. One of the arguments against
the schools has been that many of their
pupils lapse into barbarism when they
return to the companionship and print
tive customs of the tribes. This is no
more than could be expected, but so
long as healthy proportion of the stu
dents become educated to point that
makes them self sustaining the schools
will have justified their existence and
earned their right to governmental sup
port Elk.

The winter home Of Charles p. Taft

Texas where President Taft plans to
rest for time on his countrywide trip,

DON'T MISS THIS STORY.

If You were driven to desperation
through want. and were prepared to
commit suicide, what would you do if
you were offered large salary to do
another mans bidding for seven years?
Would yUu accept the offer? Would
you undertake the task blindly, asking
no questions, and be prepared to commit
any deed, including murder which
might be outlined for You to do?
This is the problem presented to Paul
Jarret THE Deputy Avenger by the
man who suatches him from suicides
grave. Paul accepts the commission,
and, rs You may readily imagine enters
upon career Of strange adventure and
unusual deeds performed without a
true knowledge of the reason therefor.
Numerous complications ensue, and
there is an endless chain Of exciting
scenes before Paul finally frees himself
from the unwelcome state of affairs into
which his rash promise has plunged
him.
The Sentinel will begin the publica.
ton of THE Deputy Avenger" Monday
evening, oct. II. The story, be it
known, is novel from the pen of He'd.
ley Richards, the well known author of
adventure. 1t is pronounced by those
who have seen the script to bear unusu.

One of the comparatively few things
that the hand Of Improvement has not
touched is the cowbell, which is made
now just as it was hundred years
ago. Cowhells are made some Of cop
per aud some Of II composition metal!
but most of them are made of iron anG
finished with a coating of bronze.
The cowbell is not cast. 1t is cut
from a sheet OF metal. which is fold
ed into shape and riveted. The metal
loop at the top through which the
strap Is passed is riveted into the bell.
The bells are made Of ten sizes. who's,
sounds range through an octave.
Sometimes musical entertainers who
play upon bells Of one sort and anot h
er come TO the manufacturer and hr
selection among bells Of the varic,is
sizes find eight bells that are accura. =
i'll scale.
There are only few factories il
the United States in which cowbelis;
are made. and in each case the COW
bell is only al item of production
among many other things. Cowbell>
are sold all over the country just thu
same as ever. but much of the greater
number are solo in the south, the
southwest and the west. where farms
are larger. less likely to be fenced and
cattle are more likely to stray.-Chi,
