WHY WERE THE EXPLORERS
 LOST?

! Much remains to be learned con cerning the real causes of the lack of fuel and. provision which caused the death of Captain Scott and his party of south pole discoverers. It will be known in time, whether it was negligence, circumstances over which they had no control, or failure on the part of those left at the last station to go but Tn search for the delayed lsexna6rers, which figured as the chief cause of the depierable tragedy. What ever it wass it only empha sizes the great risk which IS run by those who go into the great unknown regions ef the poles and the necessity Of faAkiHs ample provisions for contingencies that may arise of possible or imag- inary type.
 kcumstanee and while the responsible ity for the fatal ending of the expe- dition may rest upon no ones shou1- ders, it points out most certainly that while careful preparations are made for every step of the journey the provisions are made on the basis that everything will go we'll Had Captain Scott and his men been able to make the headway expected they would have found food and fuel in plenty. They
 were within eleven miles of another
 depot. but weakened by hunger and
 fatigue. that help as has been the ex-
 perience of other explorers who were
 lost, might as well have been hun
 dreds of miles away. Until the cir
 cumstances surrounding the affair are
 cleared up there will be a curious and
 interested people. The idea of eov
 ering up the matter is wrong. What
 ever is to be said could better be said
 noWs and correctly rather than allow
 incorrect stories to take it's place.

CERTAIN RESULTS
Many Norwich Citizen Knows How
 Sure They Are.

Nothing uncertain a bout the work of Doan's Kidney Pills in Norwich There is plenty of positive proof of this in the testimony of citizens. Such evidence should convince the mos; skeptieal deuhter. Read the following statement:
 Mrs. Mary Neff. 465 Main Street Norwich, Conn, says: For many years a member of my family was subject to attacks of kidney complaint He suffered from pains across the loins and at times could scarcely get about on account of his back being so stiff and lame. The kidney secretions were irregular in passing and often con tained sediment. Deans Kidney Pills, procured at x. D. Sevfn & Son s Drug Store. proved. of benefit from the first and soon every symptom ot kidney complaint disappeared.''
 1iie above statement was given August g7, 1908 and several years later Mrs Nen said: T willingly con hrfn ali 1 said in praise of Dosn $ kidney Pills iii the testimonial given for publication iii 1908 Nothing has occurred to change my high opinioll or Deans Kidney Fills

MADERo,s SACRIFICE.

Unexpected was the turn which the affairs in the City of Mexico took which brought. about the resignation of President Madero. It was an ac- ton. however. which involved the question of personal sacrifice or the causing of the loss of thousands of more lives and ending with defeat for the federalists. Mexico was in no condition to prolong it's uprisings and the inability to depend upon the loy- alty of the federal troops showed the utterly unstable condition of the gov ernment's position. In sending in his resignation as he did Madero did a wise thing. Everything. was going against him and his action simply advanced the inevitable.
 There is now naturally much con- eern as to the future. Madero was to large extent responsible afor the conditions which have existed through his term. Instead of using the iron arm of his predecessor he maintained weak government and failed to un- derstand his, people to a sufficient de- gree to accomplish what Diaz had been able to. He allowed them to run away with him and it now remains to be seen what the future has in store. Felix Diaz wins and he will play an important part in the coming affairs of the republic There are the sue cesses and failures of the predeces- sors to govern the next presiden Ma : dero's sacrifice should end the trouble in Mexico City. fact which will be of great relief to this country and end any thought of landing troops there. This last uprising had been well planned and Madero is to be given credit for recognizing his help less position. Too often does it hap pen that they recognize it but fail to acknowledge it.

FAITH!

treasured bedding and comfortables much to that lady's disgust
 Were the weeds growing at the ex- pense of the vegetables in the garden, at the first hint from her that the garden needed hoeing, the answer usually came I have faith to believe. Susan, that you would keep man busy from morning till night with your demands for work"
 Her only retort was to the effect that in her opinion faith without works was dead, for which remark she had good authority in an old book, with which she was fully as familiar as her spouse.
 The children made slow progress at school. T have faith to believe that your teacher must be deficient in ability to instruct you. else you in herit your mothers dislike for study The Starkweathers are all good scholars.s
 No, Susan had no faith in Peleg. or his promises. She had been com pelled for many years to show her house where she was born, and until her marriage it was always kept in good repair and the entire premises showed thrift and industry. What wonder that her temper was tried at seeing so many marks of neglect without, and her wifely love and pride were strained to their utmost in making excuses for one she had promised to love ana ODGN But Sne had 8 wife's true devotion. and to all she repeated over and over that Peleg was so busy and so public-s spirited that he was obliged to sacrifice his own interests in behalf of others.
 Meantime Peleg had faith to believe that Susan would make it all right for herself and the children while he tried to run the town, the church and the school
 There came a time, however when cor hi Oy.J-na laA1S ft, cal that a little faith and more work on Peieg's part would be desirable, A few of the younger ones in the church and town even ventured to whisper to each other a word or two which sounded like "old fogy" Nor were there lacking those who even dared intimate that Pelag had advised much and done little, and that he had better withdraw into private life and leave the active management of affairs to younger and more progressive men.
 Peleg himself began to realize that he was no longer the leader of men that he had been. and though it caused him much chagrin, still he had the good sense to accept the sftua- ton.
 T have faith to believe" he said that old mon should be better able from experience to advise, but if they want to manage the town and church with a steer team, let them try it They can no more than fail" Strange to say, matters were sue cessfuI1y carried in spite of his withdrawal, and having more time for himself he turned his attention te the needs of his own household mucf to Susan's delight, and she adopted his phrase as her own when she said
 q have faith to believe that Pelee is at last showing his faith by his works"

I {WFitten Specially. for The Buliefin.) Peleg Starkweatfner was a very re- l ligious man. He was gifted with a ready tongue and was considered a pillar iii the church to which he gave his alfegfance. Ne one could more fervently address the others as to their duty, or advise more strenuous ly in any emergency. His OfI-repeal- ed pharsse T have faith to believe was pretty certain to be woven into his remarks to his brethren on any oc- casion, and seldom was his faith un- rewarded, for others there were, who though less fluent in speech than he, were pretty sure to act diligently along the line of duty as he explained lit to them.
 We are in debt as a church, he said, "but l have fa4th to believe that the amount needed to liquidate our obligation will be Forthcoming, and it was.
 We need money for repairs and I have faith to believe that there will done.
 New carpets became necessary. "I have faith to believe, Peleg an nounced. "that the Ladies Aid will attend to the matter they have done heretofore and he was not dis appointed.
 Not being a rich man he seldom did more than supply the faith required
 
 result was attained, that was perhaps his share in the work.
 Sc in civic affairs he had faith to believe that certain improvements would be accomplished, and they us uaIly were. his faith being his centrl- button to the fund raised by Noluh- tary gifts.
 Put h1rn down in any of the un- slightly spots of our own city, and they would straightway become at tractive. for his faith to believe was so strong that it would communlcate te itself to others who were able and willing to supplement faith with works.
 Would he were placed on Fra nklin Sauare for half-hour and then giv- en the opportunity of addressing a public meeting of those who boom Norwich:
 Send him through our city from east to west, and not even all the mud holes and faulty pavements could daunt his faith to believe that the citizens of our town would rise as one man to the redemption or her good name of The Rose of New England.
 Certainly Pe4eg Star<weatf1er was a power for good in his community and was highly valued by all who knew him. All. did I say? There was one notable exception, and that the one of aN from whom it would least be expected, his wife. She had no faith in him. I am sorry to say Did she want the fence mended He had faith to believe he should find time for it soon. Meantime she hired some one else to do 1t. The house needed new shingles. Peieg had faith to believe the roof would dc very well till another season, so it was neglected and the severe storms of winter sent rain and snow into the attic and damaged Susan's stock oi

GETTING TOGETHER.

When Col. Roosevelt declares that there will be no fusion of the repub- licans and progressives he simply re- peats the advice which he has been giving his followers in various states and those progressives who in state legislatures have relied upon him to direct their action. It was the declar- alton that, was expected from him and anything tending to different view would have caused great surprise. His attitude is intended to act as an in spiration to these of his party who are wavering, and to overcome the effect of the proclamation of MT. Nun sey that there should be a reunion of the factions of the republican party, which added to similar feeling which had sprung up among the Bulimoose gave it an impetus which has stead sentiment in this regard in Massachu- setts while Maryland men have sig nified their approval of it by a large banquet at which a reunion of the forces was declared the proper method of meeting the situation. The cry of "get together sounded through Mich- iean with magical effect and in a state which selected Roosevelt electors by handsome majority.
 The futility of playing into the hands of the democrats, as against their own policies, is apparent to the third party men and it is but natural that the men in the ranks should be willing to acknowledge it before the leaders. Action in many elections has demonstrated that what the colonel says will never take place, has already occurred.
