Doctor Cookie of the North Polar
fame-is still In the lmelight of pub
licity. The latest bit of news from him
comes from old Scotland, where he
is now located, and is to the effect that
he will soon start north again, this
time accompanied by men who will
look into his previous trip and bring
back trustworthy evidence of the fact
that he too has stood near the pole
a. least near enough to paint it red,
white and blue.
All of this Is interestinfi If true, and
there Is no good reason to doubt its
truthfulness. We never did believe
that DR.. Cook was quite as bad as many
If the Peary admirers have pictured
him; and Furthermore we have 4
sneaking idea that another inning
may be due the Brooklyn explorer
The older we grow and the more we
see of mans ingratitude, the more is
our sympathy for the under-dog arous-
e6. We are willing-more than will
I: g-to give the Doctor the last posi-
tie ghost of a show, the fierce critics
o, the Doctor Notwithstanding.
In speaking of the new plan OF DR.
Cook, the Brooklyn Times says:-
IF he should be able to prove to the
satisfaction of the Danish University
authorities that his original claim was
justified by the facts, his return to the
United States will be hailed by q
stronger outburst of enthusiasm than
that which greeted his previous adj
vent"
or, we might add, than that which
greeted Commander Robert E. Peary

THE NEW BOY. "

Beginning next Monday the Lake
wood Stock Company will present
the laughable comedy, "The New Boy.
Perhaps brief synopsis of the story
would be of interest to the Lakewood
patrons: Doctor Candy, l.. l.. D., is the
principal of a boys seminary, bach
elor in very good circumstances. His
nearest relation Is Mrs. Martha Rem
nick, also a former sweetheart. She,
however, had other ideas and married
The other fellow" who soon left this
sphere and her a widow. She mar
fied again man rather younger in
years and decidedly younger in ap-
pearance.
The Doctor, feeling the advance of
years and some of the old regard for
his early flame. being under the i'm
preston that she Is still an uncon-
soled widow, invites her to visit him
with her young son. AS she Is in
somewhat Strengthened circumstances
she hopes to benefit financially as an
outcome to the visit, but discovering
that all hopes in this direction would
vanish had the doctor an inkling of
the fact that she married again, she
persuades her husband to personate
her young son, and his youthful ap-
pearance materially aids the decep-
ton. She accepts the position of
matron In the Doctors establishment,
and her husband joins the ranks of
scholars. The scholars are rough
crowd of boys and consequently his
lot is anything but happy one. The
complications ensuing are most laugh
able and the fact that Frederick Beane
will make his first appearance this
season in the role of Doctor Candy
will add much to the pleasure of next
weeks entertainment.
