Fun Ended When Big Po-

NEW YORK, Oct. A. week
ago little Miss Rosie Werblinsky
8 years old, found a $50 Confeder
ate bill while rummaging through
her fathers trunk, where it had re
posed among lot of souvenirs for
the last four years, In her home al
1870 Madison street. Rosie, very
pretty child, with rosk cheeks, big
brown eyes and black hair, didn't
know the bill was bad, but some
thing put II into her head to take
1t anyway. She went to Mrs. Rachel
Feinstein's grocery at 81 Market
street, and asked for half dozen
eggs and quart of milk, tender
ing In payment the $50 note. The
grocery woman gave the child
$49.74 In change.
Now, Rosie has a wide circle OF
little friends. Imagine II you were
IA nine-year.old and fell heir to a
fortune of nearly $50-well. Rosie
just made Santa Claus look like a
piker. First off there was party
In vacant lot under the Manhat,
tan bridge. Besides candles, cakes
and pies. there were pickles, Ice
cream, jelly tarts and heaps OF
goodies.
There was many an aching
tummy at bedtime that night, but
bright and early the following
morning the guests were waiting
outside Rosie's home long before
she was washed and dressed. Most
of them had hurried off without
breakfast, hut even those who had
eaten found, room for the mornine

MEETS TERRIBLE
OBSTACLES

WASHINGTON. D. c., Oct. A.
Wouldn't 1t be great, about this
time, X the French government
should get q cablegram reading
like this:
"Have discovered the south pole
"CHARcoT."
Never heard of Charcot, Ell? Lit
tile wonder, with the air so full OF
Cook, Peary and Lieutenant Shac
kleton.
Dr. Jean B. Charcot is rich
Preach scientist who has been In
antarctic wilds for over a year. He
went into the ice-locked country
with everything that money could
buy to help him find the pole.
His ship was named the Pourqui
Pas, which Is French for why
nOt?" The three-masted vessel was
the most perfectly appointed YET
for the hunt for the pole. He had
motor sleds of his own invention
to carry his supplies.
So the experts here naturally are
thinking of Charcot nowadays, and
there Is more than a hope that he
will be successful.
The "farthest south" mark sci
by Lieutenant Shackleton and the
discovery and rediscoyery of the
north pole by Cook and Peary, all
have drawn public interest to the
antarctic. Is the, south polar region
like the north pole?
What will science find there?
DR.. Charcot, no matter how well
he may be equipped, will find that
the south pole will test the mettle
of the best man.
There are no intelligent Eskimos
In the antarctic; no hardy dogs
like the Eskimos have. There Is lit
tie land that is not bleak and desc.
late. Walrus. narwhal, polar bear
and smaller game like elder duck
tptarmigan and hare, are scarce at
the south pole.
In fact, Or. charcot or any other
explorer will find that Cooks and
