BEAR ADMIRAL PEARX.

A quarter of q century Of service in
the Arctic regions and the important
geographical and scientific discoveries
OF Commander Robert Z. Peary entitIe
him 10 the prompt recognition and
promotion which congress appears to
ne inclined TO give him. It can be
said for a Truth that no living explor-
81 has ever accomplished more for the
enlightenment of the nations at the
Arctic regions than he and there is no
reason why welI-esrned honors should
be withheld from him. When he holds
&. rear admirsPs commission let US
hope that he may never display such
lack of dignity and self control as he
did when it looked as if the honor of
being the first discoverer of the North
pole had been wrested from him. He
certainly lowered himself in the esti-
nation of his friends and made friends
for DIR. Cook instead of himself 1t
must be admitted that the aggrava-
ton was extreme and called for sharp
language to do the situation Justice,
Gut it did not require bilIingsgate
Commander Peary and his friends are
pleased, and so are the people The
American people always want a de-
serving man to get all that is his due.

NO CHEAP DIVORCE.

Virginia is wrought up over a di-
vorce bill now pending before its leg
isIature of which the Richmond Times
Despatch says: There is not a repu-
table man or newspaper in the state
that would not be ashamed to speak
a good word for it"
The Alexandria Gazette first diseov-
cred the measure and 1t says it would
"nnake divorce in Virginia as easy as
it is in South Dakota" and turn the
state into a wide-open divorce resort -
as well as practically put a premium
on marital unfaithfuIness. Even more
savage are The Gazette's remarks about
the honorable senate, which passed
the bill, and to which this Alexandria
paper extends the following
fierce alternative: TT Is said, in ex-
cuse, that the bill was passed without
the senators knowing its full purport.
II this is true, they are a set of in
conspetents and cannot fnteIligentIy
represent their constituents, but if it
is not true and they wilfully voted for
such a measure, they are knaves. and
should be turned out"
And 1t il discovered that in the
assembly there are men moral in their
standards and sIzilfuI in the interpre-
tation of the law, who see no harm in
prevail
1t is certainly to be hoped that as
the far west is making divorce less
and less easy, an old state like Virginia
is not going to throw down the bars
and invite the unfaithful of all states
to make that their camping grounds
until their marital relations are broken
up. The country needs better, not
baser, laws with reference to divorce

AL Cook was a. travelling man and.

large city. He rented the old Gabor

Great Chance for Young Men to Make
Money, Says Traveller on
His Return.

w C. Sunderland returned Tuesday
morning from South America, after spend
ing two months looking over the country
in the interest of Omaha capitalists, who
investing money in that land.
Mr.. Sunderland is highly enthusiastic over
Brazil and although he did not invest while
there, he would advise young men to go
and see the wonderful opportunities there
for a man who will work.
IF / were a younger man." said Mr..
Sunderland, Il would go to Brazil. There
is a country of opportunities. No work
has been done on the land and evidently
never will be until the Yankees go down
and see what is at hand. A man could go
down there and by truck farming make a
fortune. The city of Rio Janeiro has more
than million population and affords a
market for all the stuff that could be
raised, The prices are high, while the
labor Is cheap.
Mr.. Sunderland said he just missed Bryan
on two different occasions, arriving In cities
a day or two after he had gone away. Mr.
Sunderland visited in the West Indies for q

Yes, Wedding Bells
Will Ring for Him
Paul Baird Nearly Had to Postpone
Nuptials, but Now Ais
Happy.

Things looked gloomy for the wedding
Wednesday night of Paul W. Baird, but
the clouds have now rolled away,
Mr.. Baird appeared Tuesday morning
seeking license to wed. He rendered the
license clerk a copy of divorce decree
which last November severed him from
Marie w. Baird.
Mr.. Furay looked closely at the date,
then at calendar and after little mental
arithmetic, said:
Nothing doing until Friday"
The court record showed that Judge
Redick had spoken November II and that
the decree appeared to have been formally
entered In district court November II.
1T is not six months until Friday" said
Mr.. Furay politely but firmly, and Baird
gave up, sadly disappointed but remarking,
Il have always been a law abiding citizen
and the law is the law, SUPPOSED. -.~".
Mr.. Furay supposed so, too, and the In
cldent appeared to be closed, although the
license clerk said that Friday being the
thirteenth and brides having a prejudice
against Friday nuptuals even on another
day of the month, he would stretch point
and issue the license on Thursday.
We've made arrangements On Wednes-
day night" said Baird disconsolately.
Baird then fled to his attorney, who
shortly afterward rang up Mr.. Furay and
argued volubly over the mathematics in
volved.
AS the law allows no parts of days, Mr.
Furay finally decided that the six months
might be construed to expire on Thursday
and even possibly on Wednesday, the
eleventh. So II Baird applies again
! Wednesday he will get his license.

quests from whoever may care to present
them, without first having to go into court

the strings were cut by the adoption Of a
revised constitution, which permits the as
ISOLATION to act for itself through its Off

The revised instrument also changes the
date of the annual meeting from the sec

Illustrations Of the attractive elves almost
convlnces us that we do, and with the
revival of Peter Pam perhaps grows
into certainty Ills so easy with the
fairies to wander into fairyland, and
thther Grimm ard Andersen have often
led us with eager tread when we were
children. But whence the stories Of these
famous story tellers? ''Norroena" is the
open sesame" to our query. 1t is a col
lection of popular tales embracing the his
tory and romance of northern Europe.
These fifteen volumes cover the North and
the German tales. The Arthurian legends
compiled by Mallory and edited from the
text of 1854, with an introduction by the
great ATthurian scholar, Ernest Rvs, are
enhanced with Dore illustrations. The
Eddas, translated from the original old
Morse text, contain the Nibelung story
and Icelandic tales. The Teutonie volume
contains a dictionary of gods and goddesses
and other books cover the Morse discov-
cry of America and the nine books of
Danish history of Saxo- Germmaticus. The
binding of this edition of "Norroena" is
especially attractive. the Iooling on the
covers is rich In design and duplicates
many Of the royal bindings, as well as
Groliers and Deromes. The story teller, the
kindergarten teacher-in fact, the lover of
myth and legend will find in these vol
umes hours of pleasure, pastime and inn
proyement. The outgrowth of the fairy
tale is the story--the story told in prose.
