There Is much virtue In the accom-
plished fact. A thing that has been
done once may be done much more
readily a second time, says the Chris
tian Science Monitor. Since Com
mander Peary nailed the Stars and
Stripes to the north pole, some thir-
teen years ago, arctic and antarctic
exploration has become almost a mat
ter Of course. A Vilhjalmur Stefans-
son comes out Of the frozen north and
writes Of 'The Friendly Arctic" And
now that great explorer Road Amund-
sen, himself the discoverer Of the
south pole, is preparing, some day
soon, to set out In the Maud and just
drift past the north pole In the ice"
In these days apparently 1t Is "easy
that does it" where the north pole is
concerned.

GET PAPERS TO LONELY MEN
How the Crew of the Cross Rip Light
ship in Nantucket Sound Re-
ceives Its Mail.

One of the most unusual newspaper
deliveries on the Atlantic coast is that
by which members of the crew of the
Cross Rip lightship in Nantucket
sound receive their daily papers. Al
though the lightship is almost in the
senter of the sound, rough piece of
water in stormy weather, the men re-
ceive their papers nearly every day,
says an exchange.
The deep sea" delivery is made by
one of the island steamers, usually the
Sankaty, which summer visitors to
Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket
know well. These vessels pass close
TO the Cross Rip lightship on their
way across the sound bound from Oak
Bluffs, Martha's Vineyard. to Nan
tucket.
The daily papers are delivered on
the outward bound trip, which begins
at New Bedford When the island
steamer is almost half way across
the sound and nearly abeam of the
lightship members of the crew roll up
small bundles of papers, tying them
securely with Irvine and line them
selves along the rail. The helmsman
Of the steamer brings his vesesl as
close as possible to the lightship, some
times within Is feet, and the news
paper deliveries let go their volley.
1t is poor day when half dozen
rolls of paper do not land aboard for
the men so far from land and other
wise newsless. Sometimes the bum
dies drop alongside and are fished up
with long-handled nets.

"He is-he said he was tired of

Polly grew rosy as she turned re-
proachful eyes on her parent. You
know Bob wanted to marry me, but
you and mother thought l was too
young-and he was almost a stranger
In the town-and everything!"
Don't be disrespectful to your pa,
Polly Filmer!" warned her mother,
appearing in the doorway to announce
the evening mail. "SOme day you'll
thank your stars and us, too, that you
