in the snow while the blast ragged over head.
 After the fury of the storm had abated we scrambled out and uncov cred the dogs. They had slept through it all, A short distance off we found a white man, bundled in furs, but frozen to death. There, on the snow, bound wastes, read his funeral ser, vice and buried him in a grave of snow, the rainbow's end of many an. other gold seeker Pushing on, they ended that trip at Point Barrow, where they met Stefansson's men.
 One Hundrew Miles From a Trail.
 One fine spring day, on another trip, Bishop Rowe came upon what appeared to be wild man, standing on the banks of a creek
 We were a hundred miles from any trail,' he said, and I wondered what he could be about. Drawing near. found him to be only another prospector. He apologiZed for having no more than flour and bit of tea to offer, upon which he had existed through the previous winter, but de- clared that food was not the first es- sential with gold in sight
 "'At least 25 such fellows wander out of the interior every year under the delusion that they are rich. have heard them come in, poor mental wrecks, shouting that they were richer than Guggenheim.'
 Bishop Rowe said three of his wo- men mission workers lost their minds in the interior camps during the past year. He attributes such mental lapses to loneliness.
 Provisions for his trip consist of beans and bacon, and he gets dried fish from the Indians and whale meat from the Eskimos, all the toughest kind of food. He takes news of the world and reading matter for distri- button, for news is the first thing asked for by prospector, Indian and even Eskimo.
 Bishop Rowe likes being bishop of Alaska, for the reason that it is a big job, but fears that advancing years will soon unfit him for the work. The church in Alaska, he said, is making great progress, having 10000 white, 1000 Indian and 15,OO0 Eskimo com municants."

EMPTY PHRASES INSTEAD
OF CONCRETE ACTION.

Not once has President Wilson
squareIy placed before the Am
eriean people the question which
Abraham Lincoln pst before the
American people In 1850; what
is our duty7 Not once has he
appealed to moral idealism, to
the stern enthusiasm Of strong
men for the right. On the con-
tray, he has employed every
eIscutIonary device to lull to
sleep our sense Of duty, to make
US content with words instead
Of deeds, to make our moral
idealism and enthusiasm eVap-
crate in empty phrases Instead
Of being reduced to concrete
action.-From the speech Of Col.
Theodore Roosevelt, delivered at
Lewiston, Maine, in behalf OF
Charles &. Hughes.

WHY HUGHES is NEEDED IN
THIS TREMENDOUS CRISIS.

Against Mr.. Wilson's COmbina-
ton of grace in elocution with
futility in action; against his
record of words unbaeked by
deeds or betrayed by deeds, we
set Mr.. Hughes rugged and I'M
compromising straightforward
ness of character and action in
every office he has held. We put
the man who thinks and speaks
directly, and whose words have
always been made good, against
the man whose adrOit and f0cile
elOcutiOn is used to conceal his
plans or his want Of plans. The
next four years may well be
years of tremendous national
strain. Which of the two men
do you, the American people,
wish at the helm during those
four years; the man who has
been actually tried and found
wanting, or the man whose
whole career in public office is
a guarantee of his power and
good faith? But one answer
possible; and 1t must be given by
the American people throughout
the United States.-FPen speech
of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, de-
livered ct Lewiston, Maine, in
behalf Of Charles e. hughes.

THAT EXHIBIT OF APPLES
AND WHAT IT TEACHES
John C. Myers, Of PikeVlile
Points Out Opportunities on
Plateau.

John C. Myers, of Pikeville, is
the author of the following inter-
esting letter to the Chattanooga
Times regarding apples on the
Cumberland plateau:
1t appears to me that it might
be profitable to the people of East
Tennessee to call especial atten-
ton to the exhibit of apples at
this years fair at Chattanooga.
1t seemed to attract the attention
of visitors to the fair more than
any other item on exhibit. The
state fair at Nashville had no
such exhibit, and | understand
Memphis has made application to
have this show of apples on ex-
hibition there when their fair
opens. These apples. learned,
were raised by small farmers on
the high plateau land of Walden
ridge. There appeared to be
quite a variety and they were
large, sound and of excellent
quality. 1t demonstrated the
value of these high plateau lands
for raising first-class apples.
However, they have always been
noted for raising fruit and a su-
perior quality of vegetables.
w. S. Thompson has a three
acre orchard near Plkeville on the
Cumberland plateau from which
he gathered over 500 bushels of
limbertwigs, winesaps and black
Ben Davis apples of fine quality.
The Shaver brothers, of Ohio,
have just closed a deal for some
of this plateau land to put out
some large apple orchards. They
have some large orchards in Ohio
and other states. They informed
me they wanted to plant the Bald
win variety with others; and they
did not do we'll, it was said, ex-
cept on high land, not less than
1900 feet above sea level.
These same Shaver brothers
operated a canning plant at Pike
Vile this year, and made toma-
toes speciality. One farmer, 0.
N. Vaughn, delivered to the fac
tory over 1000 bushels Of very
fine tomatoes; and reported ne

farms brought several hundred
bushels from this Cumberland
plateau land to this factory, and
they were so fine, large and sound
