TO MAKE A TRIP
TO THE ARCTIC

Once more the famous little power
schooner Bender Bros, of Seattle, is
to defy the perils of the Arctic
ocean, voyaging first to Point Bar
row and thence $50 miles eastward
to remote Herschel isalnd Sheathed
in iron bark, she will sail July l.
If all goes well, the little vessel,
veteran wayfarer of the North Pa
cific, Bering Sea and the Arctic
wastes, will arrive home in October
But to be on the safe side she will
carry two years provisions for Off
GERS and crew.
On the run to Point Barraw, the
vessel will meet Stefansson, the ex-
plorer, bound out from the Arctic
in the power schooner Polar Bear.
The Bender Brothers was charter
ed for the Arctic voyage from the
Kuskokwim Fishing & Transporta-
ton company of Seattle by the Hud-
son Bay Company. She will car
ry the United States mails to Point
Barrow, but otherwise she will have
only Hudson Bay Company's cargo
200 lightweight tons of groceries,
coal matches coaloil, explosives and
other general merchandise, the
freight including nearly everything
in that line. She will load at VAN
couver.
The Hudson Bay Company was in
corporated in 1870, and the contract
reads that the charter is made by
"The Governor and the company Of
the adventures of England, COM
monty known as the Hudson Bay
Company" a phrase that gives a
touch of picturesque historic color
ing to the contract.
From all indications, the Bender
Brothers is the only vessel to enter
the Arctic this year that will VEN
ture to the eastward waters. From
Seattle to Herschel island via Nome
and Point Barrow the distance is
$500 miles. Consequently the stout
little ship will travel total of 7,40O
miles on the round voyage.
Traced on the chart, the voyage
represents an enormous horseshoe of
irregular shape. The schooner will
sail westward to Unimak Pass, thence
northward to Nome, and Boring
Strait and into the Arctic, where she
will shape curving northeasterly
course to Point Barrow, the most
northerly land on the American con-
tinent. Thence the voyage will take
her on southeasterly course to
Herschel island. .:.-: .:

DO YOUR BIT
Let every fellow do his bit,
And smile while he is doing it.

Let every fellow do his bit,
And smile while he is doing it.
1t may be leading hopes forlorn !;
1t may be only hoeing corn;
Still he is acting like a man,
In doing it the best he can.
Let's all find out what Duty means,
In bearing arms or planting beans;
And ere we reach the Great Beyond,
Let's dig down deep and buy bond
Dig for the coins while we've got 'em,
Dig deep until we scrape the bottom
Let's back our boys who are facing
hell,
To serve their Uncle Samuel.

Platinum Substitutes.

Since the development of "palau,"
the palladium-gold substitute for plat
mum, trials have been made with mix
lures of these two metals in varying
proportions. The alloy containing 60
to 90 per cent of gold is to be known
as "rhotanium,' and has a specific
gravity of 16 to SIS, is malleable and
ductile and carf be welded without 1ux
or other agent. 1t proves entirely
satisfactory for most chemical and
electrical purposes for which platinum
is used, though it is not suitable for
use with hot concentrated nitric acid,
nor for electrolytic anodes. For jew
elry it is thought to be even superior to
platinum, as it is harder and stronger
and takes a better finish and it has
practically the same color, can be
worked as readily and does not tarn-
iSh or corrode.

SEEKING HAPPINESS FUTILE
Experience Not Gained by Pursuit, but
Comes to One Who Does Kind
Deed Without Thinking of 1t.

Those who seek happiness never find
it-a truism that has been going the
rounds since philosophers began get
ting their words into print or upon
craven tablets, observes the Dayton
News. But it is well to repeat it oc-
%casionally, to keep it ever before the
masses of humanity, that 1t may be-
come 81 much a part of u creed ana
faith that the youngest among us and
the Oldest may realize the full meaning
of the expression.
There is no greater u~nhappiness
than that of pursuing happiness, for
happiness is never overtaken by those
who pursue it. Happiness comes to
him who is not thinking of it; to him
who is doing something for others,
with never a thought of his w hap
piness. No man has ever vet followed
a course of conduct with his own hap
piness in view and achieved his pur-
pose.
Service to others-that is all there
is to life that savors of happiness. The
service need not be great; it is given
to few persons to be OF great service.
And those who are of great service do
not realize it-they do not start out
with that in view.
To be kind and courteous and con-
siderate of the comfort of others-that
is the service which brings happiness.
The mar who helps a crippled old
woman upon the street car is happier
for doing so. The fellow who stops to
wipe away the tear from the eyes of
a child who bruised its hand the wom-
an who visits a sick neighbOr to see If
she a be of any use the man who
puts another in position to help him
self-these little services are quite
great in the realm of things that go to
make for happiness. And they are
possible with all of us.

There Was Something Different and Spiritual About George.

brought down from the attic quietly,
though, as he said, it wasn't any use
on earth up there" There were two
lame chairs from Periods attic, and
along one wall RAJ a low and feeble
structure intended to serve as a bench
or divan. This would come in handy,
Sam said, if any of the party "had to
lay down or anything" and at a pinch
(such as a meeting of the association
it would serve to seat all the members
in a row.
For, coincidentally with the develop
ment of the shack, the builders became
something more than partners. Later,
no n could remember who first sug-
gested the founding of a secret order
or society, as a measure of exclusive
ness and to keep the shack sacred to
members only, but 1t was an idea that
presently began to be more absorbing
and satisfactory than even the shack
itself. The outward manifestations of
it might have been observed in the in
creased solemnity and p~reoccupation
of the Caucasian members and in q
ICM tlllOllldl ODSCI Nu1C6O tADOoCh
to the public eye. AS an instance of
these latter, Mrs. Williams, happen
ing to glance from a rearward window,
about four o'clock one aftelnoon, found
her attention arrested by what seemed
to be a ~flag-raising before the door of
the shack. Sam and Herman and Yer
man stood in attitudes of rigid atten-
ton, shoulder to shoulder, while Pen
rod Schofield, facing them, was ap-
parently delivering some sort of e
hortation which he read from a scrib-
bled sheet of foolscap. Concluding
this, he lifted from the ground a long
and somewhat warped clothes-prop,
from one end of which hung a whitlsh
flag, or pennon. bearing an inscription.
