until they could go to the schools for
the blind. Many of the children had
no mothers, and the mothers of the
children of the very poor had to
leave them all day while they work
ed. When a blind child is neglected
eight years-the age when 1t may be
admitted to the City School for the
.Blind-it is undeveloped mentally
and is not eligible, and no amount of
care can ever make up for that lost
time. These children, unframed,
never lift their faces. They shrink,
huddle in corners where they can
feel the walls stoop, and never
reach out nor stand until they are
taught and given confidence.

He tore his hair nervously. Those
who sat close to the platform be-
gan to be afraid of this hysterical
and entirely uncomfortable gentle
man.
Count Holstein spoke with his stem
torian voice: Let us listen quietly
to DR.. Norman Hansen" he said.
" This meeting is to be reported in
all the papers of the world. Let us
therefore behave like gentlemen"
Evidently DR.. Norman Hansen did
not hear the last sentence, for again
he jumped up on the platform with
copy of DR.. Cooks North Pole book in
his hand, yelling: This book is
swindle and a lie."
The chairman requested him to be
quiet and polite. This seemed abso-
lutely impossible for him.
Norman Hansen Lies!
"Dr. Norman Hansen" said the
chairman, has stated that he wants
to ask Doctor Cook six certain ques-
tions. Why does he not do it?
Il have not said that" said Han
sen. Perhaps it has been printed in
the paper, and can have no respon-
sibility for that"
DR.. Cook smiled ironically. He
understood that he had to do with a
man who did not want to show fair
play. For yesterday afternoon when
our reporter, together with Doctor
Cook, Mrs. Cook, Lonsdale, and an
other personal friend of the Doctor,
was sitting in the salon of Hotel
Phoenix, Norman Hansen called Cook
on the telephone and told him that
he would come to the meeting and
strike Cook dead in six questions. He
also declared that he would create a
scandal and stop the meeting.
True to his duty, Norman Hansen
attempted to keep part of his prom
Use. Now only the six destroying
questions were awaited.
Perhaps | have promised to speak
in six sentences" said Norman Han
sen. Voices rose in the audience
"Ha! ha! You have used more than
one thousand words-you swindleri
Get down to business, IDIOT"
With this encouragement Norman
Hansen asked his first question,
which true enough was crushing
not to DR.. Cook, but to himself.
81 have been your friend, DR..
Cook" and am very sorry
to say here-(A voice from a box to
the left, where Editor Wlen0lad was
the central figure, called, Then go
down II you are sorry. We don't
want crying people here. Sing us a
song and give us little step dance
please.")
These we'll meant and hearty
words inspired the crushed bearded
gentleman, refreshed his memory
and his English vocabulary. He
continued:

COOKS BIG SUCCESS.
The Audience Shows DIR. Norman
Hansen TO the Door.

Hansen to the Door.
[From Dagens Express DAILY Ex-
press), Copenhagen, 25th October,
1911.l
The meeting last night in the Con-
cert Palace was a decided and mag
nificent success for the North Pole
traveller, Doctor Frederick A. Cook.
This was also Doctor Cooks personal
impression of the evening when we
spoke to HIM after the lecture at the
Hotel Phoenix.
But, of course, there was excite
ment. Demonstrative opinions of the
most forceful American character
that we have ever heard or seen in
this country were openly expressed
The man who said he would kill
Doctor Cook with one single ques-
tion," DR.. Norman Hansen, became
the object of such strong kissing
and whistling that he had to flee
through a side door.
Long before the meeting started
the hall was crowded. In front OF
the speakers stand shabbily dress
ed man walked around fighting with
his arms in the air and tearing his
long beard. The man in the soiled
Prince Albert coat was Doctor Cook S
false friend, DR.. Norman Hansen. In
his appearance he was quite a con-
trast to the elegant audience in the
parquet.
At S:15 o'clock DR.. Cook stepped
before the curtain. He was greeted
by strong applause, mixed with hiss.
ing and whistling. But the American
Doctor who had walked among hun
CRY Polar bears and Polar foxes was
calm. When the excitement had
subsided he left the platform to the
chairman of the meeting, the young
Count c.. E. Holstein Ledreborg, Ga
son of the senior Count and an ardent
Cook believer). Count Holstein de.
serves a compliment for the authori:
tative and intelligent way in which he
solved a problem which was neither
easy nor pleasant.
The chairman hardly had time tc
open his mouth before the shabby
bearded man jumped up and leapet
to the platform. Fighting with his
long arms in the air he screamed;
" l want to speak. / want to Strike
Doctor Cook down, and swindlel
he isl"
Now the audience started a power
full kissing. Strong voices of protest
arose: Take him away, that bearded
monkey. What does he want here
We paid to hear Cook, not this regu
lar cartoon!"
Five or six times the angry maj
jumped up and down on the platform

DON'T NAG YOUR
HUSBAND, ADVICE
GIVEN TO WIVES,

Philadelphia "If you
want to keep your husband
at home at night, make your
self attractive, make him
comfortable, don't nag and
don't tell him all the disa-
greeable things that have
happened during the day."
This advice was given re-
Gently to members of the
Mothers club by Mrs. Hugh
F. Munro, the president of
the club, who gathered the
members of the neighborhood
about her and gave them a
heart-to-heart talk on the
simplest methods of retaining
their husbands affections.
The trouble with our
girls to-day" said Mrs. Mum
ro, is that they don't know
how to be good housekeep-
ers and to be attractive at
the same time. They don't
derstand that the surest way
to lose a mans love sis to
allow him to become too ia
miliar with them in their un-
attractive moments. They
drive the man out of the
house into the saloon or the
club, or wherever he may find
amusement, by being shift
less and untidy. by not be-
ing careful about the nice
ties of dress, by greeting him
in kimono when he comes
home from business, and by
telling him all their domes-
tic worries, and making
him feel that life is just
made up of misfortunes.
No man can stand this.
The husband works hard all
day and has a right to ex-
peCt that his meals shall be
ready for him, that he shall
find his wife neat and tidy
when he comes home, and
that, as far as possible, she
shall be in a cheerful frame
of mind and make him feel
that his home is a real ret
treat or shelter"
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1912-03-27

step down from this PLATFORM"
In despair the chairman shook his
head. The audience made a terrible
noise.
This Is the worst yet," he said,
g man who is invited to a lecture
or meeting has the monstrous nerve
to demand that the lecturer should
leave the meetingl"
In the next second it seemed the
remarkable man was about to be
hauled from the platform. He
jumped around on the floor in a
war dance like a cannibal. Editor
Kr Dahl, of the Politiken, in vain
tried to bring him to his senses. 1t
was impossiblel Norman Hansen
danced up on one of the chairs and
stepped on some of those who sat
close to the platform. When they
protested against his Young So
cialistic demonstration he rolled
his manuscript into the shape of a
paper bomb which, with his entire
strength, he threw at the head of an
old lady.
The situation was not entirely
without danger for DR.. Norman
Hansen. The audience demanded
that he be thrown out and beaten.
Count Holstein stepped into the hall
and saved the excited man from
what he really deserved.
81 have come here to hiss at him, -
said the angry man, "the nervy
swindler. All his pictures are fake
or stolen pictures!"
A big strong man approached
Count Holstein and whispered con-
fidentially to him: "I am a detec-
tive. Do you want me to throw
Norman Hansen out?"
"No, for Gods sake" the Count
said, Don't do that"
And it was -superfluous. Norman
Hansen suddenly, by a side door,
disappeared, followed by three or
four gentlemen. In the corridor he
yelled three times: Down with
Cook"
Cooks Lecture Victory.
Now Cook started his lecture. BY
degrees he waxed enthusiastic so that
the audience listened to him quietly
Only now and then while the pictures
were being shown there were express
ed differences of opinion, especially
at the appearance of the pictures
that bore directly on the subject OF
the North Pole.
Peary attacks one by one.
After the lecture Cook had won
crushing victory over his oppon-
ents. Applause shook the hall, but
| Cook did not come before the cur
tain again-while the audience wait.
ed he was led through a rear door tC
the hotel.
Cook spent the entire evening
peacefully and quietly in his owr
rooms together with his wife and q
couple of personal friends.
A resume of the meeting between
DR.. Cook and Norman Hansen gives
the following result:
DR.. Cook behaved like a gentle
man. DR.. Norman Hansen absolute
ly did not.-St. Felix.
Cook Notes.
Count Holstein Ledreborg request
ed urgently those who did not wan
to hear the lecture to leave the hal
and get their money back. There
were three who left.
DIR. Cook Has Been at the North Pole
Dr. Cook yesterday was visited a
the Hotel Phoenix by a number o.
Pole interested people, among then
the Count Holstein Ledreborg, son o.
the Premier, and B. La Cour, the
manager of the Meteorological Insti
tute. The latter for some time pas
has been engaged in examing Cook
observations and now has reached tht
result that Cook really has been a
the North Pole.

SCHUERHOLZ is STILL A HOLD
OUT.


Fred Schuerholz, known in base
ball as Pitcher Sherry, is still mem
ber of the holdout brigade. He was
to have reported to the Providence
team, of the International league,
last Friday but that team has made
cut in his salary and he notified
them two weeks ago that he would
not work for the amount offered. AS
yet Manager Lake has failed to send
him a better offer.
Schuerholz, who pitched in and
around Honesdale in 1903 went to
Youngstown, in the Ohio and Penn
sylyania league, in 1910, and made
fine showing. Howard Earl, scout
for Pittsburg, and Mike Kahoe, of
Washington, both bid high for him
and he was secured by the Senators.
Manager McAleer took a number of
youngsters south but only Sherry
lasted until mid-season. He finished
several games well but couldn't seem
to start right and was sent to Provi-
dence. He was to return there again
this year but isn't satisfied with the
money offered him. The Grays are
now in camp and training. Schuer-
holz is in fine condition and says he
needs very little workout being al
most down to weight now.

Different Viewpoint.

Old Lady-There is one thing l
notice particularly about that young
man who calls to see you. He seems
to have an inborn, instructive respect
for woman. He treats every woman
as though she were a being from a
higher sphere, to be approached only
with the utmost delicacy and defer
ence.
Granddaughter (sweet .1S)-Yes,
he's horribly bashful.-Four-Leaf

Sports

Fred Clarke's Ten Don'ts to Players.
Don't Smoke Cigarettes. If you
must use tobacco select a good Pitts
burg stogie or a pipe.
Don't Drink. Alcoholic stimu-
lants used in moderation may do lit
tie harm; they can do no good, and
they are dangerous. Better be a
teetotaler.
3-Don't Keep Late Hours.
Early to bed and early to rise" is
still a good maxim.
4-Don't Gamble. Worrying about
an ace full that was beaten last
night, or wondering how the horses
are running while play is in pro-
gress, are alike distracting.
5-Don't be a Crouch. Cheerful
ness is a very desirable quality in
anybody-a ball player in particular.
Sharp answers and displays of tenn
per on the field interfere with sue
cessful team work, and often cause
enmities.
6-Don't Procrastinate. If any
thing interferes with reporting on
time, cut it out. Hardness sets a
bad example.
Don't be a Backbiter. II you
have an idea that the club is not be-
ing conducted properly, tell the man
ager about it. If your suggestions
are good he'll appreciate them.
S-Don't be GUTTER If you are
getting a bad break in the luck,
brace yourself and fight all the har-
der.
9-Don't Sulk. If you've been
called down the chances are that you
deserved it, and you'll gain nothing
by showing your teeth.
10-Don't Bait the Umpire. Base
ball law gives him the advantage
over you at all times, so that II
doesn't pay to oppose him. The
captain will attend to all the neces-
sary kicking.

Jim Jeffries is planning to come
back. But the big fellows system,
devised by himself for coming back,
is different from that ever tried by
any pugilist or any other athlete
who ever tried to regain his lost
laurels.
Jeffries is preparing to begin at
the beginning and get new reputa-
from the bottom to the top. He has
been making his preparations in Sc
cret up in the mountains of Califor-
mia, but he revealed his sefcret plans
to Johnny Kilbane and Manager
Jimmy Dunn when they were out on
the coast. JEFF took a great liking
to the game little Clevelander.
Shortstop Mike Lynch has chang
ed his mind and will report April 3
to the Syracuse team. Mike wanted
more money and uttered awful
threats about quitting the game.
Manager Calhoun, of the Elmira
bunch, has gobbled up frankie
Swayne, who has been in the league
for years and who has always been
a star clouter.
That Egan is big league catcher
is the verdict of Connie Mack, of the
Athletics. He is a state league
grad.
An umpire in the east is suing for
his salary. A jury that will give an
umpire any salary hasn't got any
fans on the list.
The Wilkes-Barre team will be
logged in bright new rainment this
season. The cloth will be of white
with black stripes. The stockings
will be of dark blue with three white
bands. Manager Clymer last week
