The Coming Tower
HOUSES OF BLOCKS.

We grew up together,
Building lettering houses out of wooden blocks
Houses destined TO fall
And be rebuilt again by restless hands
We were merchants. too,
And managed gaudy little fleets
That daily piled across the riflied pool,
With car9oes Of sand or pebbles.
Then we went to school,
And struggled over many fearful problems
We never solved them well,
For school choked u.s.
And summer fancies quite obsessed our minds
How we used TO rejoice
When il came time to pack up everything
And go away!
So few the years.
Love entered in, and added to our lives
As we had built upon our piles of blocks
We read aloud the poems
That sang the joys we sought
To be our own.
We consecrated lonely, lakeside shrines,
In which we loved,
And worShpped love.
Our way Of life became lyric:
Vibrant and ful-toned
And singing always.
We never quarreIed,
Yet our new house Of blocks
Seemed tremulous.
We had built il too high,
Into realms that were not rightly ours.
1t leaned, then fell,
Not with noisy crash,
But in gentle dissolution;
And dust rose ghost-lke,
To shroud its silent ruins
We never rebuilt it.
Our hands no longer
Worked so deity or eagerly.
Sometimes now we view its desolation,
And pause to wonder what might have been.
But we have lost heart
For she has gone her way,
And have gone mine.

Others Saw Same Land.

an published reports by members
Of the Macmillan expedition, and in
personal letters which | have, it is
stated that members of that party
from my same point Of observation on
the summit of Cape Thomas Hubbard
saw the same land. Later, while sledg-
ing toward it over the polar ice. they
continued to see the same land until
the last two marches. On their re-
turn to Cape Thomas Hubbard they
again saw the same appearance and,
in the words of one of the party, had
we not just been out there we would
have sworn that there was land there
at may be that Macmillan and |
were both misled by the nearly perma-
nent clouds of condensation over per-
sistent lanes of water Or unusual
iefraction. which occurs in the Arctic
regions, may have lifted into view land
that was in reality well below the hor-
lion. and my estimate of the distance
of Croker Land may have been too
moderate. II will be well to await the
completion of Stefansson's discoveries
before dismissing Croker Land.

Peary Wires Explanation.

In a telegram received by The Trib-
une yesterday from Admiral Peary at
Portland, Me-, the arctic explorer re-
iterates his belief in the existence OF
Croker Land, and insists that he saw
it with his own eyes.
"On my western sledging trip from
the Roosevelt in June and July, 1906,
Admiral Peary says, "on the expedi-
ton previous to the one in which /
reached the Pole | saw from the sum-
NIT of Cape Thomas Hubbard what
from its characteristics and persist
ence had every appearance of land.
In the narrative of that expedition /
referred 70 the matter in the following
words: With the glasses | could make
out distinctly the snow clad SUBMITS
of the distant land in the northwest
above the ice horizon. Ny heart leap
ed the intervening miles OF ice as I
looked longingly at this land, and in
fancy | trod its shores and climbed its

pleasure could only be for another in

Are you a friend of the Fresh Air

cation which will interest you. Young
Johnny and Susie, the best known
members of the family, felt that 1t
was time they got in touch with lot
of their old friends from whom they
hadn't heard in long time.
So they wrote postal and sent it
to all those whose names they could
remember But fearing that they might
in their haste have overlooked some
folks they asked The Tribune to pub
lish tie postal for them. Here it is;
Dear Friend,

The very next day after Susie and
Johnnie mailed their cards friends"
began to prove that they hadn't for
gotten these little summer people. One
wrote:

"How glad | was 20 hear from you
again! Do you know, I've been so
busy that almost forgot our acqualn-
lance of last summer. Here's to your
vacation May it be full of sun
shine and flowers and bird songs,

Another letter brought bad news
but a little good news, too. Judge Tor
yourself IL it did not:
Dear little friends Johnnie and
Susie,
II received your card. Your friend
Mrs. W died nearly year ago, but

&c : : 1()C
Food Minimum.

The irreduciblc minimum for living
expenses seems to have been attained
by Roger Crab, the hermit, who lived
at Icckenham, near Uxbridge. Abott
1641 he began to restrict himself to a
vegetarian diet, avoiding even butter
and cheese. From roots he got a diet
consisting chiefly Of broth made from
turnip leaves and thickened with bran,
and he finally resorted to dock leaves
and grass, with a bran pudding as an
occasional delicacy. He drank moth
ing but water, and lived on three far
things a week until ne died in 1880, at
the age of sixty.-London Chronicle.
