If I had written you every time l
have thought of you since the reunion
YOU would have been fairly swamped
with letters. But l have been on the
move a great deal of the time. After
leaving East Bluehill, l visited my
step daughter at her lovely summer
home on the shore of Sebago lake,
remaining week, then spent ten days
with friends in Portland, going from
that city to Wells Beach, and remaining
with my sister and her husband until
they closed their cottage and returned
to their winter home in Sanford, the
largest town" in Maine, as the
population is over sixteen thousand,
and still under the town form of
government.
When | left California, I purchased a
round-trip ticket, but have decided to
cash it in and stay in Maine this win
ter The good old Pine Tree State
cannot be beaten, and the glorious
October days are like a tonic after a
surfeit of sunshine and enervating
warm days on the Pacific coast.
Helen"
Dear M. B. Friends:
A. daughter of Maine, who proves
her loyalty to her native State by
deeds as we'll as words, deserves to
have a place at the head of the M. B.
column We all have enjoyed our
"Helen's" description of California,
both by her letters, and by the inter-
esting incidents and information
with which she enter tanned us at the
reunion this year, to which we were
very glad to welcome her.
Our good editor came CALAMITY to
the rescue of Aunt Madge when he
learned, by telephoning her, that the
material" for last weeks issue had
left her hands as usual, ready for
printing. We will find no fault with
Uncle Sam" but just remember
that weekly, for twenty-seven years,
coming December, he has never
before misplaced or miscarried a
message from Aunt Madge to the M.
B. family.
The general tendency this
autumn has seemed to be recalling
| old events and past experiences. l
don't know how the younger people
like it, but l am sure those of the
older generation are renewing their
! age by it. 1t was to be expected that
we would be f1attered by SO much
attention as we received in the
three-quarter century movement.
The article in the last American re-
lating to the teachers institute in
Ellsworth so long ago is intensely
interesting. Many of the names were
familiar to me, as some of those
named lived until l was a woman
grown. One was, later, teacher OF
mine.
A few weeks ago l received from
a cousin of mine in Oakland, CAL, a
paper" of about twentyfour pages
in my own handwriting, now con-
siderably faded. 1t bore the title

placed two of his own men in charge to trade my
property for native furs and ivory. The pretense
under which this lawess seizure made, as Peary
explained later, was that he was establishing RE
lief station for DR.. Cook"
Indignation hared in my breast as heard Of this
outrageous procedure, but curbed my anger as best
/ could, knowing that only violence would win me
back my rights from Peary and his henchmen. Never
inclined to violence, | was even less inclined to
trouble at this time, when my whole desire was to
get out Of the Arctic and back to civilization.
Accordingly obtained from my own supplies,
with the grudging consent of Peary's hireling one
Murphy, enough to sustain me and an Eskimo escort
on sledge journey to Etah, where joyfuly found
big cache of stores of all kinds, sent up the year
before by Mrs Cook. A Canadian expedition ship
had brought them, and fortunately for me placed
them in charge of Mr. Whitney, who resolutely re-
fused to turn them over to Peary when the latter
sought to seize them.
Leaving Etah on the long march to Upenavik,
principal Danish port of Greenland, turned over to
Mr.. Whitney at his suggestion my instruments,
of my field notes and my flag. He was to bring them
out his ship, and thus relieve of the risk of
losing them on the hazardous sledge journey. But
Whitneys ship delayed; he was forced to return
on Peary's ship and Peary would not permit him to
have my belongings in his baggage.
So they were left on Greenland, and later, when
Peary disputed my discovery of the Pole he bolstered
his malicious campaign with demands that produce

The announcement of the salary

a so per cent stock dividend. The
rise in the stock on the exchange to
$40 was thought to have been caused
by anticipation of such a dividend.
