R , Nov. 23, Flying the flag of ihe Unite'.! iStalee, which had been pUced nearer the Pole than any other nation.. 1 6 arnlard. and weathe -beaten and disabled, the Peary Aictic steamer Iioosevi-lt arrived here today onder sail and steam after 16 mouth Tain effort to reach the pole. Thougi not entirely eucesfu!, the expedition nevertheless got to 87 decrees 6 rainutee north latitude, or within 203 miles cf the poli. The Rjoaevelt left Tot t Aux Baeqne, K.

Though the hour was early, t ; i - it-j-iseveh was eoon visited by (tie American Copeul and various IumI f flioials, ami an invitation was ex tended Cornma.idfr I'tary on behalf of the tM-i.iev lioaid ( f Trade to be the I nett of the commercial body at a banquet in his Ik nor tonight. Com mander Feary came ashore almost immediately after the steamer came to anchor, and joined Mrs. l'eary, who has baen here for two weeks waiting tor bet fcuebdnd' re: inn. When asked what he thought of the congestion embodied in Fridtjof Nan sen's recent interview, to the effect that I'earj'a latent experience served to etrerjgthen the plan of reaching the pole by drifting from Behiing Sea, Comman der Feary said he always believed there were great possibilities in the drifting theory for men of the temperament to stand imprisonment for several years in the ice. For his part, ha could not adopt himself to it. Touching the oat break of the gale which has unexpected ly come np in the Arctic and destroyed the iceberg, Commander Peary said the prevailing wind was westerly in the Arctic region, but it was not always of the force of a gale. No person could anticipate the coming of a gale either in 4he Arctic region or elsewhere. He would not talk about the Wellman- Chicago Herald expedition plans, as be said he made it a poigt pot to discuss tf ha lim 9l CtbM xpiorers. iie uommanaer saiu urn immeumir movements were in doubt. He thought be nould pay off the Newfoundland members of his crew at Sydney, make some repairs to the Roosevelt, get a new crew and proceed to New York. Commander Peary looks in the best of health and spirits, and though dis appointed at the failure to reach the prl), Le is p::tifeiied with the advance actually made. Plans for another ex pedition will probably soon be made. Dr. L. J. Wolff said the health of the party had been excellent. There was r.o death and practically no sickness. lr. Wolff Hail that he had not the slightest doubt if tbe gale in the early part of March had not occurred the pole would have been reached without difficulty. Dr. Wolff said he and other members of tbe expedition intended to stay bv the Roosevelt nntil ehe reached New York. CHRISTMAS. Negroes consider Christmas dft tos best tn ttw year for a wedding.

London Post . . - t at All Ti There was a dispute among thm ladles as to which had the most beau tiful hand. One sat by a stream and dipped bar band Into the water and bald It np, another ptecked strawber ries until tbe ends of bar Angers were pink and another gathered Yiotets mtU her bands were fragrant An old, hag gard woman, passing try, asked, Wb will gtr me a gift, for I am poor?" All three dented her, bat another who sat near, unwashed In the stream, un stained with fruit, unadorned with flowers, gare her a little gift and satis- fled the poor woman, and then she ask ed them what was the dispute, and they told her and lifted up before her their beautiful hands. "Beautiful In deed," said she when she saw them, but when they asked her which was the most beautiful she said, "It Is not the hand which is washed clean In the brook, It Is not the hand that Is tipped with red. It Is not the bond that Is gar landed with fragrant flowers, but the hand that gives to the poor Is the most beautiful." As she said these words her wrinkles fled, her staff was thrown away and she stood before them an angel from heaven, with authority to decide the question In dispute, and that decision, has stood the test of all time. STATE LOTTERIES. OSS flier Were Once Very Common and Vet) Popular In Europe. Lotteries were common In ancient Rome, and during the middle ages lot teries were utilized by the Italian mer chants for the disposal of their goods. Some of the Italian states then adopted the lottery as a means of raising reve nue, and the institution of state lot teries afterward became very com mon and very popular throughout Eu rope. The earliest English state lottery of which there is any record was In 1009, when 40,000 chances were sold at 10 shillings each, the drawing taking place In tbe west door of St, Paul's cathedral. The prizes consisted of articles of plate, and tbe profits were employed for the repair of certain harbors. Early tn the reign of Queen Anne private lot teries ware suppressed "as public nui sances,' but government lotteries, how ever, were still maintained, and from 1709 to 1824 considerable sums were snnwUb raised In lotteries authorised by acts of parliament The arreraga yearly profit to the gov ernment from 1793 to 1804 was over $40,000. On the gsauad of injury to publlo mentis lotteries of an kinds ware abolished in Kngtanrt la 182& London Saturday Brrfcrw. FORGET YOURSELF. sTw Om Cm Grow While HI Theasati Av Self Cene -ei. Forget yourself. Ton wfU never do anything great until you do. Self con sciousness Is a disease with many. No matter what they do, they can nev er gtri away from themselves. They Uicorae warped upCS tIie subject of self analysis, wrjndering bow they look, how they appear, what others will think of them and how they can enhance their own interests. In other words, every thought and every effort seems to focut upon self) nothing radi ates from them. No one can grow while his thoughts are self centered. The sympathies of the man who thinks only of himself are soon dried up. Self consciousness acts as a paralysis to all expansion, strangles enlargement hllla aspiration, cripples executive abtUty. The mind which accomplishes things looks ' out not luf It is focused upon tt object not foa'ltseil the immortal acts have been unoon eetoosiy performed. The greatest pray era have been the silent longings, the secret raarnltigs of the heart hot those which have bean 4alrraed facing erttlcaJ audience. The daily desire U the peraatnai prayer, the prayer that it heard sad answered Success. Wkil tn Blind See, 1 can always tell when people are looking at ma," said a blind man. "In deed, nearly all blind persons can ten when people are looking at them. I have always about me a soft golden glow of light When people whom I like come into my presence this glow becomes paler, lovelier. When those I dislike are about the glow is darkened and besmirched. I can tell what kind of characters people have by the touch of their hands. There Is Individuality In the touch. A man's touch shows me whether he Is alert or sluggish, cold or passionate, kind or cruel." Stone In the Heart. A Greek woman employed In the American hospital in Caesarea, Turkey, was Htirred by a revival. She straight way asked leave to visit a woman whom she bad injured and to whom she had not spoken for ten years. When she trudged through the snow three or four miles to ask her "enemy's" for giveness her relatives were sure she had iiiiM daft, but the next day, when she came back to the hospital, she said, ""We made peace, and tho stone In my heart is gone."
