CLOAKS AND SUITS

Bartlett on the evening of April g., he would have made the distance of 270 miles to the Pole from this point and back, in a little over seven days.
 In the New York World of Octo- Der }, 1910. page B., column 6. Mat thew Henson makes the following statement: On the way back we had our own trail to within one hundred miles of land, and then Captain Bart 1ett's trail. We made from twenty to forty miles day.
 At the rate of twenty miles a day on the way up, which Henson claims was made, it would have taken six days and eighteen hours to cover the distance of 135 miles from ST degrees 47 minutes to the Pole. Adding the thirty hours MT. Peary claims he spent at the Pole for observations, eight days would have elapsed before they started back. Peary says the round trip of 270 miles from S7 de- grees. 47 minutes N. to the Pole and the return to the same latitude was done in seven days and few hours
 Why has MT. Peary never been speed and the discrepancy petwee- his statement and Henson's?
 Henson was MT. Peary's sole wit ness. When MT. Peary, in a fram- ed-up document, endeavors to. disprove my claim by quoting my Eskimos. it
 
 sons words to disprove Peary.
 Moreover, inasmuch as MT. Peary's partisans attacked my speed limits when made my first reports, does it not seem curious indeed that they now accept as infallible, and ex. ca thedra, the published reports of the almost supernatural feat in covering distance made by MT. Peary'?'
 Not long ago, says Dr. Cook, Matthew Henson interviewed in the south, was quoted as saying that Pea ry did not get to the Pole. In an other interview he said that Peary, like tenderfoot, rode in fur-c cush- toned sleedge until they got to a place which was far enough I still prefer to believe Peary rather than Henson. Peary's Eskimo compan- ions, of a former trip positively deny Pearys claimed discovery of Crock CT Land. I still prefer to believe that Crocker Land does deserve place. on the map. Pearyss last Eski- mo companions say that he did not reach the Pole. But prefer to credit his claim. Mir. Peary's spirit has never been that of fairness to others when a claim impinges upon his own.'
 While he presents counter charges, Dr. Cook still preserves a gracious attitude towards MT. Peary.

BIG SHIPMENTS
Produce Raised in Stratford Goes Up the Berkshire and Naugatuck
 Divisions.

Edward Dufour, who is probably the biggest shipper of produce from this station, states that the early market twas the best in his experience of many years. Tn spite of the dry weather his shipments were large. AL most aM his shipments went up the road on the Berkshire and Naugatuck divisions. This would seem like carrying coals to Newcastle'', but the up-country cannot compete with Stratford in raising vegetables.

REAL OBSTACLE TO
 PARCELS POST
(Springfield RepuhlicanN \

It is a familiar statement that there are four arguments against a parcels post-the Adams, American. United States and Wells-Fargo Express Com panies. But that is not where the weight of opposition is located. Re- tail merchants throughout Minnesota are presenting an organized protest against the passage of parcels-post bill. With retail transportation rates made the same from the great busi- ness centers, regardless of cost or distance, country merchants naturally fear the consequences to their busi- ness when their own or wholesale transportation charges are adjusted to cost or distance. Here is the real obstacle to enacting an extended par ceis-post laws

In Pitt's Day the Speaker Kept Him
self Stimulated With Porter.
The speaker Of the English house Of
commons holds an enviable position
today. but it was not until compare
lively modern times that the speaker
ceased to be partisan, nor was his
position always one of its present
dignity. In the time of Pitt the speak
er was accustomed to solace himself
with draft Of porter:
Like sad Prometheus fastened to the rock,
In vain he looks for pity to the clock,
In vain the effects Of strengthening porter
tries
And mods to Belamy for fresh supplies.
Manners were somewhat looser In
those days than they are now. Pitt
himself on one occasion showed signs
Of a too copious nbation to the gods,
and this gave rise to the celebrated
couplet:
cannot see the speaker, Hal. Can youa
What Cannot see the speaker? see two.
It is said that on one occasion Mr..
Disraeii arrived at the house some
what under the influence" and was SO
indiscreet as to attack Mr.. Gladstone,
then prime minister, upon some point
Of foreign policy. Mr.. Gladstone re-
piled witheringly that "the right hon.
orable gentleman evidently has sources
Of inspiration from which her majesty's
ministers are debarred. "-Argonaut.

A Generals Last Order.

1t Is over hundred years since Gen.
eral Mallet was shot for a conspiracy
against Napoleon. The circumstances
Of his death told by Mr.. G. Duval in
Shadows Of Old Paris'D were curious.
He had asked that in consideration of
his past services to the nation he
might give the command to fire to the
soldiers who were to execute him. "As
they lifted their muskets to take aim
the generals, practiced eye discovered
a want Of unison In their movements.
which he reproved, ordering them to
repeat it properly. and with the word
Fire? on his lips he fell, pierced by
the bullets of twenty muskets."
