price for transporting him to America

own free WILL but under compulsion. He
asserts that Peary set aside a part of
the collection to present TO ex-President
Roosevelt.
The papers in the suit were served on
Commander Peary at a hotel this even
ing He refused to take them when they
were handed to him by a deputy. and
the officer then laid them on table in
the presence of a witness, calling the
commanders attention to the fact that
this was a legal service.
Earlier in the day. when the report of
court action against Commander Peary
was being noised about, the commander
sought out the American Ambassador,
David Jayne Hill. and submitted the
case to him. He declared that he left
the matter in the ambassadors hands

SOME STORIES

Of Johnson. One day he took sick
there lived an old man by the name
and died. Having no hearse in
those days, they loaded him in a
spring wagon and with his wife and
nearby neighbors, they started for
the cemetery. They had gotten al
most there when they came to a
large root sticking up in the road,
and in passing over this they jolted
the coffin so hard that the corpse
came to life.
Well they took old Johnson back
home and he lived for several years
until he finally died again and once
more they started for the cemetery.
When they reached this same old
root in the road. old widow John

the "hearse":
