DEAD ON THE FROZEN HILLS.

ly fresh from the framework OF the
living.
The custom of leaving the dead on
the Arctic hilltops to be the food of
savage beasts is natural and unavoid-
able. The digging of grave in the
far north, even in summer, with the
tools possessed by the Eskimos was
next to impossible, for even in July
the ground Immediately beneath the
moss that covers the surface every
where is frozen as hard as granite.
Even where no underground Ice is
found the Eskimos would consider the
making of a grave cruel proceeding,
for the thought Of having to lie in icy
water is Inbearable to an Eskimo. So
the dead are left on the dry hilltops.
Although the dead are left on their
messy beds underneath the unpro-
tecting stars. 1t must not be thought
that there is no sorrow when death
visits an Eskimo village. There are
no more affectionate people In the
world, but their grief, like that of chill
dren, is acute and is soon over with.

BATTLESHIP IS
COSTLY LUXURY
Construction of Dreadnought
New York Stopped Be-
cause of Expense.

NEW YORK, Dec 12.--It looks as
If the Empire state will have to wait
many years for its Dreadnought
namesake.
At the New York navy yard, where
the Greater New York was to have
been built, orders have been received
to discontinue work until congress
and the navy department consider
the grave complications which have
arisen in regard to the construction
of the battleship.
1t is found that owing to the high
cost of labor in this vicinity and to
the restrictions of the eight hour law,
which applies to government navy
yards, the vessel, which was appor-
toned to the New York yard, can not
be built for less than $7,5OO,OOO. or
Sl,5OO,0OO more than the authorized
cost.

Miss Gregg to go through her dance
and her poses before his camera. 1t
was after he had snapped her both
alone and with Kehrlein, her partner
at the Kirmess, that he gave out his
diCtum:
Miss Gregg is more graceful
and more beautiful dancer than Paw
Iowa. She has the advantage of youth
and chic. I consider her marvel of
lightsom"uess. and her natural grace
is such that were she to go on the
stage she would create a world Juror,
Even the amateur opportunities OF
the Kirmess gave a glimpse of what
she would be amid the perfected
lighting and musical accessories of a
professional debut. Really, my adj.
miration for her charm is beyond my
power of description"
And now Miss Gregg has gone
away to Honolulu, and has laughing.
ly told her girl friends that she will
perfect herself in the hula for their
particular amusement when the en-.
vious men are far away.

day. An estimate shows the average
cost of the upbringing of baby
from birth to 20 years is $3.50, and
his average commercial value at that
time is $4,000. These figures are
based on the net earning capacity of
the average citizen.
II is estimated the average man at

plus $4,000 gross earnings-and has
cost s10,150 for growth and mainte-
nance, or a net gain of $3.50 in 80

FAIR VISITOR A
Second PAVLOWA
So the San Francisco Exam
liner Says of Society Girl
Now In Honolulu.

Honolulu has in its midst a San
Francisco society girl hailed in the
Golden Gate city as a greater dancer
than the supposedly peerless Paw
Iowa. the sensational Russian terpsi-
chorean enchantress. The San Fran
cisco girl is Miss Enid Gregg. who
is a guest of Major and Mrs. Cunning
of Fort Shafter.
Here Is what the San Francisco
Examiner said of Miss Gregg a few
days ago:
Miss Enid Gregg is more beautiful
and more graceful than Pavlowa.
So declares DR.. Arnold Genthe.
1t was only last Sunday that the
throngs stood in line awaiting a
chance to get into the Valencia The
alter for farewell glimpse of the di-
vine Russian. And then came the
people of society, who harked back
to the Kirmess and recalled the dash
ing dancing and poses of Emil Kehr'
lein and Miss Enid Gregg.
On that occasion Miss Gregg ap,
peared as a ballet dancer, and she
foated about as light as thistle down,
rivaling Burke's famous description
of Marie Antoinette in that her feet
scarcely seemed to touch the earth.
Every eye followed her during the
time she was on the stage; every
hand applauded, and even the gener-
all, anyiD,,s ,ynp,an ,uara anronturad
The piQuante, daring, incompatible
young girl was the talk and success
OF the occasion, and It was recalled
that Larry Harris, the famous wit,
had said, in seeing her on another
occasion:
ENID Gregg is the Paris OF Amer
ica."
Then. when the Kirmess chat was
at its freshest, along came Pavlowa.
She caught the fancy of every one.
She held her audiences rapt, SPELL
bound. When she sulked, all sulked.
When she took up the turkey-trot 1t
rose from place in a negro dance
hall to a position under the proudest
slippers in the proudest homes.
Naturally, men and women picked
up the question:
lis our glorious amateur as beau
tiful and graceful as the most famous
of all the PROFESSIONALS"
Up and down back and forth, went
the debate. II was the topic of tea
tables and dinners and bathrooms.
And then DIR. Arnold Genthe asked

DR.. COOKS STORY
NO GREAT BAIT

NEW YORK, Dec. DIR. Fred.
erick A. Cook, who now confesses
that he does not know whether he
reached the North Pole or not, had
no easy task in disposing of what
he describes as "The Story of Cooks
Trip to the North Pole" according
to reports reaching New York from
London. The Brooklyn explorer, it
is stated Is living in seclusion in an
obscure boarding house in Blooms
bury, London suburb, and there
wrote the story which he hopes will
restore him to degree Of favor in
this country.
II appears that for weeks DR..
Cook, eager to return to his home in
Brooklyn, sought through a literary
bureau to sell his latest story to Lon
don magazine publishers. One thou
sand dollars, It was said, was asked
for the story which the London edit
ors declined to accept.
II was learned today that DR.,
Cook was in the United States early
in November. and came here to con-
clude the arrangements with mag
azlne for the publication of his story.
He came by way of Canada, and met
the publishers at Troy. n. Y, After
concluding the arrangements for the
publishing of his confession, Dr..
Cook returned to Europe.
The publisher said DR.. Cook was
in and around Troy and Poughkeep'
sic for approximately two weeks, He
took automobile rides every day and
never wore any disguise or made any
effort to hide his identity other than
to use an assumed name.

CHINESE AS
ATHLETES

We referred the other day to Yuan
Shi-Kai. the strong man Of the new
era in China. Yuan is a broadly en-
lightened Chinese Governor, from
whom. when he comes to the plenitude
of power, great things are expected
for the uplift Of his country. His
ideas are advanced and he is willing
to take lessons from the Western
world. He is accordingly partial TO
the scheme whereby young Cinnamon
are being sent in increasing numbers
to European and American universi-
ties.
And Yuan Shi- Kai is no mere theor-
ist His immediate family is repre-
sented in this country by his nephew,
ISao Chow Ii Ii, resident in America
by special imperial edict, as student
at Harvard. where he entered as q
sophomore a year ago, having prev
iously pursued his studies at the Pei
Yang University at Tientsin, North
China. Hitherto he has given his
undivided attention to his books and
his lectures, but he has suddenly
broken out as an athlete. A few
days ago by his performances in sprint
running. in vaulting with the pole and
in the broad jump he simply astound-
ed everybody, making, in the forcibie
| language of the sporting reporter, the
eyes Of seasoned track men bulge and
/ bringing tears of joy to the coaches.
The fact is that we are not accus-
! tommed 10 look on the Chinese as
strong men. We think of them gener-
/ ally as low sized, slim little fellows
of proportions for other than those Of
! the brawny and husky youths who
/ bear off the palm In the athletic arena
I Had we remembered our 'Dr. Nikola"
| we might have known better. For that
matter we had the same idea about
the Japanese until they came along
and showed US what they were capable
Of with their jiu-jitsu.
II appears that at the Pei Yang Uni
versity the students are quite up &c
date. They have a polo team, q. SOC
Ger team, lawn tennis, track and gym
nasium teams, and constantly compete
in all these forms Of sport with tho
English army officers who are quart

men is one who has run the 100 yards

over II feet inches, a third who die
a broad jump of more than % feet and
several who are cracks at the quarter

Of the promises Of the near future.
All this is only another form Of tina
