IS month Of changes. You wake uD
and look out in the morning and hear
the birds singing their glad songs in the
sunshine. You eat your breakfast and
start down town on the street car. Ev-
erybody, even the gripman, has the
grip, and before you get down town it
may be 50 foggy you can't see through
it. Before night it SHOWS, rains, halls,
sleets, thaws and freezes. Think Of the
changes. Even down in Washington
there will be great changes. It will be
a cold day for some men marching out,
while other men will have warm time
on the same day marching in. Don't
these changes make you think Of a
Spring overcoat? You'll need one be-
fore spring has gone. Buy it now and

maintained for nearly three years re-
garding the pole controversy with DR..

counsel, issued a letter in reply to the
sensational charges which Cook made
against him this week during a lee

to the gold medal which the Royal

ferred upon him, and quotes President
Darwin. of that society. who said:

Then Peary takes up one OF Cook 4
most serious charges-that he stole
Cooks supplies at Etah. Peary admits
finding Cooks supplies at Etah in
August. 1905, but quotes official records
TO show that he landed a man to guard
the supplies and await Cooks return. In
April, 1909, Cook appeared. says Peary
found his supplies guarded, by two of
