SH iNOItI FOiS.
DR.. Frederick 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" accord
ing to reports reaching New York
from London.
The Brooklyn explorer, it is stated,
is living in seclusion in an obscure
boarding house in Bloombury, a Lor-
don suburb, and there had written the
story which he hopes will restore him
to a degree of favor in this country.
1t appears that for weeks Dr. Cook.

lyn, sought through a literary bureau
to sell his latest story to London mag
azine publishers. One thousand dol
lars, it is said, was asked for the story.
which the London editors declined to
accept.
Cook, in his story, which is soon to
appear in this country, asserts that.
half-crazed with hunger, he believed h..
had reached the top of the world. 1t
was learned that DR.. Cook was in the
United States early in November, AMI
came here to conclude the arrange.
ments with Hamptons Magazine for
the publication of his story. He came
by way of Canada and met the pub.

After concluding the arrangements
for the publishing of his confession,
DR.. Cook returned to Europe.

Indictinc,

Indictina.
After having delved into the Barls-
dale murder case for three days, dur
ing which time a large number Of
witnesses were examined the Baker
county grand jury. in session at New
ton, Ca, returned a batch of in
dictments, of which the following are
four Jesse F. Hudgins, charged with
murder; Lloyd Lewis, negro, charged
with murder; +. II. Leary, stepfather
of Hudgins, charged with being access
sorry before the fact, and Mrs. Joseph
Leary, mother of Hudgins, charged
with being accessory before the fact
Hudgins has been in Jail at Newton
for several weeks. The negro, who
was released after committal hear
ing, has been rearrested.
Joseph Leary and Mrs. Leary were
arrested in Albany by Sheriff H. Fl.
Radford, of Baker county. Mrs. Learys
bail has been fixed at $1,000.
These are the latest developments
in the case, which has grown out of
the finding of the body of Ernest e.
Barksdale, well known Tampa COM
mission merchant. in an abandoned
well on Baker county farm on the
10Th of October. 1t is believed that
other indictments have been returned
by the grand jury, though it is i'm
possible to obtain information on this

tice of fee.ing pets and birds is gem
eral.
In Servia and in Bulgaria no one
crosses a strange threshold if it can
be avoided. Friends rejoice together,
the little children dance and sing and
gifts are exchanged. An ancient cere-
mony has to be performed by the
head of every household. Before a
mouthful of food is eaten early in the
morning, corn is placed in a stocking
and the chief of the family sprinkles
a little before the householder, saying
Christ is BORN" to which one of the
family replies: "He is born indeed"
Then the house-father has to wish"
and, advancing to the burning logs on
the hearth, he strikes them until the
sparks fly upward, with good wish
for the horses, another for the cat
ties, the calves, and the goats and SO
on through the entire band of stock
on the farm, concluding with special
prayer and an extra blow upon the
embers of the logs for plentiful har.
vest. In this manner the gods of ma.
ture are appeased. Then the ashes
containing the wish are collected
and buried secretly. AS for the Yule
logs, they are not permitted to burn
entirely away, but the fire being ex.
tinguished the burnt ends are placed
in the clefts of fruit trees so as to
ensure bountiful crop.
In out of the way corners of the
world. the traveller has met process
sions going about on Christmas eve
giving gifts to the earth, to the stream,
to fruit trees, and the priest with q
censor of incense invoking blessings
on the harvests which are to come
when the winter is over.
The receiving of gifts seems to be
the passing of later day At Lyons
in France the Foundlings Home has
a beautiful custom. A handsome era
die is placed at the door and the for
saken infant laid therein is afterwards
treated with great consideration as
the gift of the Christ child at the
blessed season.
The more playful customs of put
ting hats about for presents as French
children do, of baskets which Italian
children make, of gift boxes and the
tour of st. Nick prevail everywhere.
Even in the tropics Christmas is oh.
served, as if the cold snow lay round
about. Mexico has many beautiful
customs, and Catholic countries ney-
err forget the feast of the Babe in the
Manger in church.

and that a number of important

Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, who
is one of the more prominent senator

is altogether improbable that more

an embassy would be inviting 10

1t is stated now that no changes

Ba0THERS HAVE A
FATAL Difficulty
Duel TO tte Death Over GTsv
Eaule.
SHOCKING ALABAMA TRAGEDY
John and VIII Benefited QuarreIed
Over Mule-Whte Benefited Tried
to Make Peace in Vain, and Then
Shooting Began.

AS the result of quarrel over the
ownership Of small gray mule, VIII
Benefited, Jonn Benefited and White
Benefited, brothers and well-to-do
farmers, who reside near Hopewell,
Ala, just across the Georgia line, en-
gagged in a duel with revolvers and all
three. were killed.
During the fight, the mule, which
was the innocent cause of the fight,
was also killed
1t seems that the mule was in the
possession of John Benefited, but Will
Benefited claimed to be the owner, and
had demanded the return of the ami
man. John Benefited refused to sur
render the mule. alleging that his
brothers claim was unjust.
A bitter quarrel between Will and
John Benefited followed, and White
Benefited, the older brother, tried to
act as peacemaker and have the own
ership of the mule submitted to arbi-
tration.
John Benefited was willing, but Will
Benefited said the mule was his prop
erty and he intended to have the ami
nal.
Will Benefited tried to lead the mule
away, and was warned to stop by his
brother John. There was another ex-
change of bitter words, and then both
John and VIII Benefited drew their
revolvers and began firing at each
other at close range. Both men
emptied their revolvers, every shot
taking effect
When the smoke cleared away, John
and will Benefited and the mule were
dead, and White Benefited, who had
tried to stop the quarrel, was dying.
He lived only a few minutes.
All three brothers were prominent
in their section, and each of them
leaves a wife and children
While the dispute over the mule
was the immediate cause of the trag-
edy, it is said that the r. al bitterness
between John and Will Benefited was
due to an alleged insult which VIII
Benefited is said to have offered Johns
wife.

STUDENTS ARRESTED.
Trouble at the North Georgia Agricul-
tural College.


The entire student body of the North
Georgia Agricultural college at Dab
lonega has been under arrest, follow
ing the bursting of the big govern
ment cannon in the barracks. which
resulted in much damage to surround
ing property.
1t is said that some of the students
loaded the cannon with fifty pounds
of giant powder and attached fifty feet
of fuse and lighted it. When the ex-
plosion followed, all were snug in
their hunks. The missing breech block
of the weapon was substituted with
heavy chains and scrap iron.
The barracks ard contents were
completely demolished and hundreds
of windows about the school were
blown out. The school is under $4,000
bond to the government as a guarantee
for the security Of the cannon.
AS fast as the students sign affi-
davits to the effect that they had moth.
ing to do with the blowing up of the
cannon they are released and al
lowed to so to their homes for the
holidays.
