neon for the border city and will represent the Imperial-Juliet lodge of this city.
 The Lafayette Lodge of this city will also send delegates and Pine Bluff will be well represented at the meeting. The convention will be held Tuesday and Wednesday and many matters of importance will be taken up. The convention will be attended by about 800 delegates.
 It was stated yesterday afternoon by MT. Benton that no efforts would be made on the part of the local delegates to secure the next meeting of the Grand Lodge, as the meeting held two years ago was not quite a success from financial standpoint and just few of the members were forced to bear the expense.
 The party will leave Monday after noon, arriving ill Texarkana in time to attend the opening session of the meeting.

versity hero. The faculty had met in

versity hero. The faculty had met in solemn body and after grave ana de- liberate discussions decided that Stef- ansson was menace to the dis cipline of the institution and expelled him.
 This was blow to the young man. then in his junior year at college, but a blow that perhaps was only spur to wholesome effort and greater sue cess, as we shall see. and he proved himself equal to receiving the blow with grace and fortitude.
 That might his many friends gave him a big spread. Stories and jokes were told and toasts were pass ed at the table and following is the toast Mr. Stefansson gave:
 Here to the faculty; happy be their reign, They chastise us because they love us They pluck us because it is good for us; And they expel us for the good of the institution.
 A great shout of appreciation went up and yells, especially prepared for the occasion, issued from many hear ty pairs of lungs.
 The next day when his departure was to take place the students got out the University Band and paraded the principal streets of the city, escort ing their hero to the train. All this must have pleased the youth perhaps was consolation to him, for it is said he often speaks of the little in- cident in his letters to old friends in the home town, Grand Forks, N. D.
 He entered the University of Iowa the following autumn where he fin ished his college course, graduating the following June With highest hon. ors, and winning scholarship to Harvard and a cash prize of fifty dollars.
 In 1909 he entered Harvard to further his studies and specialize in the sciences. He won many distinc- tions and after graduating there he was appointed ethnologist of that in- stitutiQn, which position he filled un- til starting on his now famous eX- petition into the much alluring Arc tic regions.
 What he has accomplished in the north while studying the life of the Eskimos is told by the explorer him self in a series of articles running ir Harpers monthly magazine commenc ing with the December number. Some of his experiences are indeed

very interesting. His hunting stories are equal to those of Roosevelt; his adventures and narrow escapes among ice-floes and Arctic blZZards are as thrilling as the tales from Munchau- sen and the account of his discovery of the "Blond Eskimos' and their re- ception of him, the first white man they had ever seen, is both amusing and pathetic.
 These people take us back, back through centuries when everyone liv- ed the simple life. When the mans work was to go out with bow and arrow and handmade copper knife to hunt the days food for the family, while the wife stayed at home to ply her needle of bone threaded with strings of leather on garments of skins--to time of marvellous magic and darkest necromancy; and these people are still living in this age of modern civilization; this age of un- ceasing progress But like a picture of an ancient people, we see them dis tinctly outlined against that wonder ful and awful background; the six months darkness and the midnight sun; the great stretches of blinding snow and glare-ice with polar bears and seals and the welcome herds of caribou; and the glorious, ever-shift- ing, many-hued aurora borealis that stretches over the heavens like tent at night.
 Mr. Stefansson is about thirty-four years of age and it is reported that he intends spending the next fifteen years among the eskimos, studying their lives and collecting various specimens for the American Museum of Natural History for which insti- tution he is now heading another ex- petition into the Arctic regions.

AS was predicted in the Graphic yesterday, H. K. Toney yesterday formally announced that he will make the race for prosecuting attorney of the Eleventh Judicial District and the outlook now puts on different ap- pearance. For while it was thought that Prosecuting Attorney T. G. Par ham would have no opposition, but Mir. Parham has been carrying on a quiet campaign just the same.
 H. D. Lucas of Lincoln county yes- terday announced positively that he will not be candidate for the posi- ton and it looks new as if only two names will be placed on the ballots at the special primary.
 It has been intimated for some time that Mr. Toney would make the race, but until yesterday no definite state ment could be obtained from him.

In Saturdays Graphic there ap- peared photograph of Vilhjalmar Stefansson, the famous Arctic explor- CT and discovered of the Blond Es- kimos" which I found of great inter- est as he and I were at one time schoolmates at the University of North Dakota and l knew him there quite well.
 Among his boy friends Mir. Stefans son was always called just 'Steff" and was, perhaps, the most unique and most generally well-liked charac- ter at the University at that time. Probably no student has had more fun there and caused more trouble than the young explorer, wh ocould tell more funny stories, play more practical jokes, write and recite more poetry and pass his examinations more beautifully, without studying, than anybody there. lie mad the best of everything, was quite Beau Brummel' and very popular. The students all 'swore by him, tho the faculty often "swore at him, but "Steff" went merrily on his way-for a while.
 Once an especially fine attraction was coming to the Metropolitan Thea .tre-"Romeo and Juliet I believe; we were permitted to see only Shake spearean or other really fine plays, first passed on by the censorship of the faculty Mir. Steffansson wanted to take his best girl but did not have the necessary cash, which is by no means an unheard of dilemma among college students, but here the re- sOurcefulness of the future Arctic eX- plorer stood him in hand even then. He inaugurated a guessing contest among his boy friends and sold tick cts at twenty-five cents each and each purchaser was entitled to guess the name of the young lady he was going to take to the theatre. In this way he secured the price of the best seats in the house. hack, flowers and after-theatre super and the boys who made all this possible got nothing for their money but pleasant smile.
 An example of his daring and cool ness of nerve was shown one morning when he missed Black Maria the bus which then travelled between the University and the city, but has beer replaced since by the more moderr street car. President of the Univer sity Merrifield's carriage was stand ing in front of one of the big stores the president being in the store. Mir Stefansson walked over to the car riage, climbed in and with loral. wave of the hand to the driver said "To the University. James, and los' no time.' It is needless to say tha Proxy was obliged to wait until hi carriage returned and perhaps eas, to imagine the state of mind of tha worthy dignity while waiting.
 It was a well-known fact at tn University that Stefansson never stud jed and never attended classes eN cept when he like but he alway passed his examinations as easily a puddin and came out at the hea of his class at that.
