COOK C0NFESSES HE
May Be MISTAKEN.
Not Absolutely Sure Whether He Reach.
ed Pole or Not--Rather Be Thought
Sincere but Mistaken Than a
FaMr--hiS "Po|ar Madness"

New York, Nov. 30.--Dr. Frederick A.
Cook, the Brooklyn explorer in an ar
ticlc Which will be published in Hamp-
tons Magazine confesSeS that he does
not know whether he reached the
North Pole or not. DR. cook, who has
been in hiding for over d year, has in
formed the editors of the magazine
publishing his story, that he will re-
turn to the United States with his WIFE
and children Dec. % in order to pas,
Christmas here.
DR.. Cook in his story deals with the
psychology of his adventure and says:
Did | get TO the North Pole? Per
hapS made IL mistake in thinking that
| did. Perhaps | did not make a mis-
take. After mature thought | confess
that I do not know absolutely whether
/ reached the Pole or not. This may
come as an amazing statement. but |
am willing to startle the world it, by
50 doing, | can get an opportunity to
present my case. BY my case | mean
not my case as geographical diScoN-
erer, bat nay case as a man. Much as
the attainment of the North Pole once
meant to me-. the sympathy and conf
dence OF my fellow men mean more.

DR.. Cook tells the story of his life
and pictures what he calls the over
powering ambition for exploration that
beset him until it finally eliminated in
his effort to reach the Pole. Dr. Cook
declares that at the time he convinced
himself that he had discovered the

MOOSE HUNTING,
Season Eods with a Lower
Record Than Usual
Fewer Bulls Killed and Those
are Mostly Young Animals.
2843 Deer Shipped So Far..Last
Years Total Will Be Exceeded.

Bangor, Me, Nov 30.-Moose hunt
ing in Maine for the season Of 1910
came to an end tonight, with rather
Il disappointing record as compared
with former years. Up to +. NJ. to-
day, there had been received at Bangor
&c moose, compared with ll9 4 year
ago today and 124 total for the season
OF 1919. I, few carcaSSeS arriving after

years figures are not yet available but
will be considerably less than last sea-
sons. The record moose year was 1900,
when 259 moose We're carried by Ban
gOr x ArooStook trains.
Various explanations are offered for
the unexpected falling off in the moose
fig ures. Warden Neal who inspcctS all
the game that comes to Bangor, says
that while there is a plenty Of young
bulls and COWS, the old bulls with fine
heads are becoming more and more
difficult to get, most of them having
retired far into the deep woods before
the advance OF civilization. 10 follow
these big fellows entails great expense
of time and moneN-an expense that is
increasing every year, so that the num-
her of those who can afford this form
of sport is constantly growing fewer.
Warden Neal says that not over 10
per cent. of the moose that come to
Bangor this fall were of good size the
game being chiefly small bulls with
very little web to their horns, the age
of the animals ranging from one to
four years, whereas to make good tro-
plies they should be five or six years
old at least The weather. too. has been
unfavorable most of the season, hav-
ing been warm and dry.
Receipts of deer at Bangor up to 6
p. NJ. today aggregate 2S43, compared
with 2519 at the corresponding time
last year. The weather is now favor
able for hunting and from 60 to 90
deer are coming in daily, SO that the

pass that of 1909. when the 3144 deer
