ARCTIC PAINTINGS ARE
RARE WORKS OF ART

London.-In the map room OF the
Royal Geographical society there Is
at present an exhibition of nearly 100
paintings by the two Danish painters,
Aage Berteisen and Achton Prils, who
took part in the Mylius Eriksen ex-
petition, whose leader lost his life in
the northern ice fields.
The Peary Club of New York is ne
gotiating for the transfer Of this ex-
hibition to America, an1 it is to be
hoped that it will succeed for not only
are the paintings of great artistic
value. but they also show many views
of particular and personal interest.
Most of these works Of art were
painted under the most trying condi-
tions with the thermometer many de-
grees below zero, when every bit OF
paint had to be heated over the flame
/ of a candle to be soft enough to be
applied with the brush. More than
any pictures ever seen here they show
the wonderful beauties of the Arctic
zones, which are by no means as mo-
notonous and dreary as one ordinarily
imagines. The colorings are wonder
full, and such as one otherwise sees
only in pictures from Italy and south
ern countries. The sky and water are
the deepest blue, the snow sparkles In
all the colors of the rainbow, the ali
is of the most wonderful transpar-
ency. and there are pictures painted
by candlelight in a magnificent Ice
cave. which far surpasses in beauty
and radiance the famous blue grottC
of Capri.
As a result of the exhibition severa
English artists will accompany Lieu
tenant Scott on his next Antarcu'
trip. and if an Antartic expedition II
sent out from the United States, yount
American painters would do well Il
, follow their example.
One of the artists, Achton Prils
writes from Rome:
"I can find nothing to paint mere

eral more or less distant relatives of his wife. AS
far as he could remember, none of them had been
nearer than cousins-but she had been upon ex-
cellent terms with all, and there had been subse-
quent visits at the homes of one or another of them.
After a while, he became impatient with himself for
allowing these details to occupy his mind. He knew
his wife as a man knows the woman he loves-and
all this was merely idle suspicion. After a while, a
caressing voice from the doorway aroused him from
his thoughts:
Busy, dear?"
Not very. Come over here and sit down while

tend with, occasionally"
He spread the photographs upon the desk before
her, and briefly ran over the main points of his
interview with Norcross. At first, she scarcely
comprehended the ugly reality of the threat or the
horrible notcriety its publication involved. When
she finally did so, every vestige of color left her
face-she could scarcely control her voice-it was
little more than a whisper.
"Oh, John! What are you going to do?
Will you allow them to Will they MAKE you veto

to her old home in Auburn, N. Y, whittier they We're
accompanied by her husband, his face still in band
ages and wearing the iron mask made necessary by
the attempted assassination in Ford's theater on
the night when President Lincoln was killed.
AT the close OF the war, when the government or.
dered all the railroad material sold, this car was
bought by the Union Pacific Railroad company. Step
by step 1T dropped lower in the scale OF fame. First
it was used by the railroad company as an officials
car. Next it became a tool car, and then, when it's
days OF usefulness We're over, it was left in the yards
to crumble away, until in 1898 it was exhibited at
the Omaha exposition.
Afterwards it was used as a side show at the st.
Louis exhibition and later an unsuccessful attempt
was made by a syndicate to profit from it at public
exhibitions.
In 1905 the car was purchased by the late Thomas
Lowry, millionaire street railway magnate of Mime
apolis, whose father had once been a friend and
client of Abraham Lincoln.
For a time it was exhibited in the open, doubtless
with the object OF drawing the interest of the public
to this suburb, which was being doomed by the real
estate agency which handles Mr.. Lowry's property
in Minneapolis.

mand as marshal of the day. Forty-fve years ago,
at noon on the 4th OF May, the great military and
civic procession escorted Abraham Lincoln to his
last earthly home, the old family horse OF the Lin
coins walking with nodding head behind the hearse.'
The story of the funeral is known to every school
boy and girl in America. How many of them know
that the funeral car stands year after year neglect
ed and desolate on this lonely hill.
For thirty days after the funeral, Company A,
l46th Illinois, was stationed as guard OF honor at the
tomb, while today there is not even a sign post di-
recting the traveller to this sanctuary.
Go back over the history OF the funeral car from
the 4h of May and note the waning public interest.

sands of old soldiers visited the car; and as their
hands touched the walls once touched by that loved
hand, and their eyes beheld the neglect, tears rolled
down their cheeks.
The following year it was enclosed in the pine
shed where it now stands desolate, as what sort of
a monument from the people OF a nation to him who
gave his life that that nation might live?
And in the past four years scarcely a half dozen
persons have visited the spot. There is no charge
OF any sort required to look upon it, except the five
cents for car fare to reach the suburb, and though
the school children of Minneapolis are taught to re-
we're the name OF Lincoln, although prizes are given
each year for Lincoln essays, although never a Feb
ruary 18th passes without Lincoln exercises in the
schools, while flags fly from every school house,
there are no pilgrimages taken to this shrine by the
school children.
The Tooth anniversary of the birthday of Lincoln
passed with never a visitor to this his funeral car.
The 1O1st anniversary of his birthday passed with
never a flower being set within it. And while
throughout the land the name of Lincoln is honored
by sermon and lecture; while every church and club
and every social and military organization in Amer
lea hold Lincoln Day exercises year after year, the
grass grows high in summer and the snow lies deep
in winter across the pathway that leads to Abraham
Lincoln's funeral car.

"Pretty Peggy O'Nei1l's" Own Story

Concerning her beauty, she once said: OF course
l knew that was beautiful, and my beauty was a
1atal gilt. 1t was not my fault, but my misfortune.
l am an old woman now, and look back on my life
with calmness and resignation, and say that my
beauty was my bane. Women suspected me of try
ing to captivate men whom merely entertained be-
cause OF my social position. smiled on many a
man in public life, particularly on foreign diplomats,
whom loathed in my heart. But it was my duty,
as my husbands wife, to entertain; and kept on
doing my level best to out-entertain and outshine
all other women. made such a success of it that
they all hated me every one of them"
That is substantially Pretty Peggys' own story
OF the most historic portion of her life. But. that
the reader may get an insight to the real power OF
fascination which the wonderful woman possessed,
an incident is added. When she was in her eighty
third year, less than a year before she died, the
spirit OF mischief shone forth one evening in a Sin
gular manner. She did a deed of daring, and sue
