Where formerly only a solitary pen

The Very Best Make.

In the course OF an after-dinner
speech in praise Of woman, Samuel
Untermeyer, the New York lawyer.
said In Pittsburg:
"A commercial traveller remarked
the other day to a storekeeper:
Make yourself a Christmas pres
ent of cash register. 1t will keep
strict and accurate account of all you
receive and all you disburse. 1t will
show what you save and what you
squander. what you spend foolishly
and what you spend wisely, where
you should spread out and where you
should retrench, what you waste and
how you waste it

"'Yes. SIR said the tinker.
But the pastor had in mind nasty

the bricklayer next door. and SO he
went on:

been especially fitted for his task
Everywhere we can trace the might
and sweetness that belonged to his
character; the versatile mind, yet
the simple heart; the varying tact, yet
the fixed resolve; the large desire TAX
ing counsel from all, yet the minute So
licitude for each; the fiery zeal, yet
the gentle temper; the skill In using
means, yet the reliance In God alone;
the readiness in action, with willing
ness to wait; the habitual self-pos-
session, yet the outburst of an in
splration, which raised him above him
self-the abiding consciousness of an
authority-an authority in him, but
not of him, and yet the ever present
humility. Above all. there burned in
him that boundless love which seems
the main constituent Of apostolic char
acter. 1t was love for God; but it was
love for man also, an impassioned
love, parental compassion. Wrong
and injustice to the poor he resented
as an injury to God

transition and the dawning of the re-
ligion of peace upon a race barbaric.
but far. indeed, from savage.
That warlike race regarded 1t doubt
less as a notable cruelty when the new
faith discouraged an amusement so
popular as battle. But In many re-
spects they were in sympathy with the
faith. That race was one of which
the affections as well as the passions

HEALTH FOR THE CHILD.

The careful mother, watching close
ly the physical peculiarities of her
children, soon learns that health is in
q great measure dependent upon nor
NAL, healthy, regular bowel action.
When the bowels are inactive, loss of
appetite, restlessness during sleep, ir-
ritability and a dozen and one similar
evidences OF physical disorder are soon
apparent.
Keep the bowels free and clear and
good health is assured. At the first
sign of constipation give the child q
teaspoonful of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin at bedtime and repeat the
dose the following night, If necessary.
You will find the child will quickly re-
cover Its accustomed good spirits, and
eat and sleep normally.
DR.. Caldwell6 Syrup Pepsin is far
preferable to salts, cathartics and
purgative waters which are harsh in
their action. Syrup Pepsin acts on
the bowels easily and naturally, yet
positively, and causes no gripping or
discomfort. Its tonic properties build
up the stomach, liver and bowels, re-
storing their normal condition.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in SOC and $1.00
bottles. If you have never tried this
remedy, send for a sample to DR.. w.

SKETCH OF CAPT. AMUNDSEN
Arctic Exploration Has Been the
Dream Of His Life Since Early
Manhood.

Road Amundsen, now about 40
years old, has proved himself one OF
the most competent explorers. Be-
sides reaching the south pole he Is
the first and only man to accomplish
ship from the Atlantic to the Pacific
by the northwest passage. He has
made at point within short els.
tance Of the magnetic pole the only
set OF complete polar magnetic obser-
vations ever taken.
Amundsen was born at Sarpsburg.
Norway, and in his childhood moved
parents destined him for medicine.
For one year he was a medical stu
dent. but at his mothers death, when
he was 19 years old, he gave up the
intended career and went to sea. For
a number of years he cruised in the
north as a whaler and sealer on Nor
wegian vessels.
Amundsen had his first taste OF
exploration when in 1897 he went as
first officer with the Belgica on Ger
lach's Belgian polar expedition. From
what he learned Of the work and ad-
venture of exploring on this trip and
from the second Norwegian polar ex-
pedition Of 1898, he became filled with
arctic ambitions OF his own. He
formed the project not Of attaining the
geographic pole sought by so many.
but of trying the long-neglected north.
west passage and approaching and
studying while on his way the little
known magnetic pole.
It took Amundsen several years to
prepare himself for his trip. For two
years he studied, first in Hamburg
under Neumayer, authority on magnet
ism; in Berlin under Schmidt, and
finally at Wilhelmshafen under Bor-
gen in the meteorological station. His
mental preparation over, he spent two
years more in raising funds and outfit
ting his expedition.
The Amundsen magnetic expedition
was perhaps the most modestly ap-
pointed that ever went for purposes OF
discovery into the. arduous field of tho
arctic. Its cost was 100000, large
part of this Amundsen's own money
Frithjof Nansen, the Norwegian polar
explorer, a close friend and faithful
helper of Amundsen, helped raise an
other large part. Amundsen was fin
ally able to put off from Christiania in
the little Alton sloop Of Gjoa on June
II, 1903. q
Voyage Of Gjoa.
The Gjoa sailed around the north
end of America. reaching the mouth
of the Mackenzie river about Septem-
ber 8, 1905. It went by way Of Bal
fins bay, Lancaster sound. Barrow
strait, Peel sound, James Ross strait
and Rae strait. Twice 1t wintered in
.he ice For a period of many months
during this voyage Amundsen main

liams land, at latitude 6S degrees 30

within 80 miles. as he calculated. OF
the magnetic pole.
The northwest trip. fulfilling ths
dream Of the early navigator, brought
Amundsen great renown. He then
planned an expedition to drift around
to the North Polar sea. but changed
his mind after starting and went to
find the Antarctic pole.

thus to an old refrigerator car on a

The fire was a mean one to fight as
the refrigerator car floor is composed

slight. Six hundred feet Of hose was
stretched from the plug at the Ice

DISPOSITIONS TAKEN IN DAMAGE SUIT

Dispositions were taken Tuesday
morning before T. R. Evans as notary
in a $4,000 damage suit brought
against the Santa Fe railroad com
pany by R. l.. Adams of Sherman,
Texas, who had both legs cut off by
the Santa Fe Plug at Garnett, Kas., on
December 80, 1911, where Adams was
living at that time He has since
moved to Texas and the suit was filed
at Ell Paso Texas as the only place in
Texas where service could be had
against the Santa &c. The case will
be tried In May.
Adams who was assistant postmas-
ter of Garrett was between 8 and 9
O'Clock on the evening Of the accident
going west on Fourth avenue which
crosses the Santa Fe right of-waY at
right angles and reached the tracks
when the south bound passenger train
was approaching agblock away. The
ground was covered with frozen snow
which caused Adams to slip and fall.
His heel caught between the rail and
the crossing board in such manner
as to prevent his getting away before
the train reached him and cut of both
legs.
The theory under which the suit is
brought is that termed discovered
risk" The claim is made that the
engineer saw Adams In a dangerous
position in sufficient time to have
stopped the train and prevented the
accident II be had exercised ordinary
care. The men whose dispositions
were taken were T. NJ. Brown and H.
S. Newman, engineer aud fireman
respectively at the time that Adams
was injured.
