Bugs Raymond, the handsome and

a sporting editor at the Pen and Pen
Gil club In Philadelphia
Raymond was disguised one day at
his teams wretched outfelding. Bat

these easy balls we're muhed alter

Are We Americans quite happy? Take
the nearest street car, and mark the crowd !:
the men with their fixed mouths and de-
termined eyes, bound to make dollar, to
push rather than be pushed; the women,
dressed correctly, blocking the way, pale
from the cruel grind of meetings, lee
tures, shopping and the social swim; the
younger people, irreverent and slangy, a
little loud. 1t is pretty picture; are they
all pleased and happy:
Or attend an American church Every
thing is neat and correct, but bit cool
Are those glances curious or suspicious !?

YETTE BRANCH BE-
GIN RUNNING sun.
DAY.

New Orleans, Jan. 12.-Al-
though passenger trains will be-
gin running Sunday on the new
branch of the Southern Pacific
from Lafayette to Baton Rouge,
the line will not be open for
freight traffic until after Feb. l.
This announcement was made by
W. NJ. Hobbs, general superin-
tendent here.
The time table adopted for the
branch provides for one passen-
ger train each way daily. Leav-
ing Baton Rouge at 7 a. m, it
reaches Lafayette at 11:3O a. m.
Returning the train leaves Lafa-
yette at 100 p. M, and reaches
Baton Rouge at $3.50 p. m.
Although the branch is suf-
fciently completed for service to
open, it is still far from finished.
Much work has still to be done
on the roadbed and odds and
ends will have to be fixed up in
the yards and depots throughout
the line.
The various agents and minor
officials to be in charge of the
branch are being appointed by
the superintendent of the South
ern Pacific at Lafayette, and will
not be announced until the open
ing,

NORTH POLE HAS YET
TO Be FOUND, SAYS
ESKIMO.
Cook Went AS Far North As
Peary, But the Pole Has Not
Yet Been Discovered.

Holland, Mich, Jan. ga Gu
rious letter from the Arctic Cir
Gle, written by "Mene," one of
the party of Eskimos which Peary
took to the north fourteen years
ago, and who were used for sci
entific purposes in preparation
for Peary's dash for the pole, has
been received by Royal A. Stan
ton, of Cobleskill, N. Y.
MI. Stanton, now a student in
the Western Theological Semi
nary here, formed an acquaint-
ance with Meme" while the
two were in New York and be-
came intimate friends. "Mene"
was the only one of the Peary
party of Eskimos who escaped
death fourteen years ago and &C
companied Peary on his 1909
journey.
The letter was sent from Kjo-
benhoan, and is dated Sept. 2,
1910. In regard to the Cook
Peary controversy, Meme" says
in part:
Il know you will expect some
thing about Cook. Well, Bob, |
have gone to the bottom of the
matter, and nobody up here be-
lieves that Peary got much far
ther than when he left his party.
His name up here is hated for
his cruelty. Cook made a great
trip north. He has nothing in
the way of proofs here that
can find. I believe he went as
far as anyone, but the pole is yet
to be found. Cook is loved by
all, and every Eskimo speaks
we'll Of him and hopes that he
had the honor over Peary. Has
he? I will know all soon and
will let you know.
Come up here and [ will show
you how to find the north pole.
I will make you king. Then, if
you want me, I will go back to
New York with you. I will wait
for you, but come before I am
frozen in the igloo, with the
crows head pointing west"

Did COLD KILL WEEVIL?
lafayette Farmers Believe that the Snap Had
the Effect OF Destroying Much Of the Pest.
The Lafayette Gazette says:

The Lafayette Gazette says:
We have been informed that
several prominent farmers of the
parish have searched for cotton
boil weevils since the recent cold
weather but have uniformly fail
ed to find any. The weevils go
into Information at this season of
the year and since their appear
ance into this section of the coun-
try they have been found in
great numbers in the Spanish
moss and in the bark of trees and
in other such places. These men
started out to satisfy themselves
as to what effect the recent cold
weather had upon them and have
so far. been highly gratified in
not being able to find any. And
if they can not be found where
are they? Is it not reasonable to
suppose that they have been
killed by the cold? Then let the
farmers diligently search their
favorite haunts for them and the
resblt of their searching for the
next few days will be watched
with great interest.
