Dine Together at New

NEW YORK, June 2s.-Three men sal
at meat last night at the New York Club

thirty years ago on the circumpolar pack
This is what they had then: Boiled seal
skin, boiled rock lichens. one boot, two
shrimps. snow water. Russian tea, star
walton ice, frozen pudding.
What they had last night these three
survivors Of the Greedy expedition would
not tell The host was Col. David L.
Brainard, U. S. A. and the other two
were Henry Biederbeck of Jersey City
and Francis Long of the United States

With them was Frederick F. Taylor

sunk but the following year the relief
expedition went to Cape Sabine. where
eighteen of the men starved. When Capt

The Unhitched Horse

Here is a quotation from an
advertising magazine that is
well worth remembering:
The average man looks on
advertising as a mysterious
something quite apart from
ordinary business, says an
observant exchange. You
bet he does, and that's right
where he makes his first big
mistake. Advertising is not
something apart from the
business. save as the horse
is separate from the cart
when unhitched the cart is
at a standstill."

the right horse merchants and
manufacturers find that news
