targets for hail of bullets from the
robbers revolvers. Deatherage was

Representative Macon, Of Arkansas
g. Yaking in general debate on the
naval appropriation bill in the house.
made a sensational attack upon Cap
tain Robert E. Peary, denouncing MIN
as a "faker" and declaring that ne
should be driven from the naval scr
vice"
The bitter words used by the mem'
Der from Arkansas called out quick
reply from Peary's friends. Repre-

terrupt Mr.. Macon, finally got tine
floor in his own right. He character
lied Mr. Macons speech as unjust,
outrageous and offensive He SAID
there was always some one to be
found to suspect every performance
by men of genius and courage. He
referred to Captain Hobson's exploit
of the Merrimac and to Dewey's vlo'
tory at Manila bay.
Heroes like these" said Mr.. Moore,
"have not the time to stop and deal
with every dog that barks at their
heels"
Mr.. Macon declared that Peary's
whole story was a fake pure and
simple" He said his contempt for
fake heroes" was supreme, and he In
timated that he put "the hero Of San
Juan Hill" in that class. Mr. Macon
denounced the Peary Arctic Club and
charged that it had maintained a paid
lobby in Washington. He said that
President Tafts judgment in this
matter was not to be accepted, for
he had congratulated Cook as heartily
as he did Peary.

It is dreary at the north pole
When the winds of winter howl
And the iceburgs are a-crunching
And the polar bearlets growl;
And the Eskimo then murmurs
None can half so lonely be-
Yet the baseball fan in winter
Is far lonesomer than he.
II is fearsome in the jungle
In the silent tropic night
When no living thing is stirring
In the pale and CHASTITY light;
And the savage breaks the silence
With a sigh: "Ah. woe is me-"
Yet the baseball fan in winter
Is far lonesomer than he.
On the farm and in the village.
Time hangs leaden heavy on all
hands,
Folks are signing. folks are crying
Cause their lonely in all lands;
But the baseball fan in winter.
When no athlete swats the bail,
Is the one who gets our pity
He's the lonesomest of all.
