ring ther heritage of winter as ice
oergs. , .
That this plan of drifting kjoss
the Arctic sea is a possibility has
been proved by the wrecking of the
ill-fated Jeannette. This vessel sailed
from San Francisco in 1879. It was
crushed and sunk in the midst-of the
Arctic ice in 1881, some of the wreck
age being frozen near the surface.
The portions of the ship were carried
by the polar drift past or across the
north pole, through the Greenland sea
and the Denmark strait and on down
the east coast of Greenland. Another
test of polar currents was made about
ten years ago by the , late .Admiral
Melville and Henry G Bryant of
Philadelphia, who construction about
fifty very strong casks which were
pressure of the ice. These casks were
designed to withstand the terrific
numebred and dropped overboard at
various points in the Arctic ocean
north of Bering sea. Two of them
have since been recovered on Euro
pean shores, one having been picked
up on the coast of Iceland and the
other on the northern coast of Nor
way. . k
t No vessel in the world is better
constructed or better equipped for
such work than the Fram. She was
built to withstand great ice pressure
and proved herself a magnificent ice
boat with Nansen In the Arctic as
long ago as 1893 and as recently as
1913 with Amundsen in the Antarctic.
During the course of the expedition,
Captal.i .Amundsen will have practi
cally the same equipment and psrson
nel that he had with him on his voy
age to the south pole, including the
redoubtable Lindstrom the cook of
the south polar party who is the
only man who has sailed completely
aroundjthe American continents.
The expedition, if successful, will
be of immense value from a scientific
standpoint for there are more than a
million square miles of the Arctic as
yet unexplored and it is quite certain
that the vexed question of the "polar
continent" will be Anally settled by it.
With the exception of that veteran
of the north Admiral Robert E.
Peary there is no one living better
equipped for work of this character
than Captain Amundsen. From 1897
'.o 1899, he was in the Antarctic' as
mate of the "Belgica," the ship the
de Gerlache expedition which brought
back from the extreme south scienti
fic collections of unique value. In
1901 and 1902 he was engaged in in
vestigating ice navigation and in
making deep water observations
around Spitzenbergen and Greenland.
atfossUttempt
On the 17th of June, 1903, he left
Christiana in the little sloop Gjoa to
the northwest passage and
incidentally , to re-Incate the north
magnetic pole. 1 ; i . "
Amundsen first proceeded to King'
Williams Land where two years were
spent in very careful magnetic and
meteorological observations and trips
made to the north magnetic pole
which was subsequently "rediscover
ed." Then he worked his way through
the Bering strait and on the 30th of
August, 1806, reached , the Pacific
ocean being the first man to sail from
the Atlantic ocean around the north
coast of America.' Of his brilliant
Work at the south pole it is not nec
essary to speak. Throughout his en
tire career Captain Amundsen has en
Joyed the cordial support and com
pelte confidence of his fellow country
men and he has received from the
Norwegian people financial assistance
which can only be described as mor
than generous when the resources of
that by no means wealthy country air
taken into consideration.
Listen to This Story I
She Took No Chances.
"I know what's ' passing in your
mind," suddenly said a maiden as the
habitually silent caller stared at her.
"I know, too, why you are calling
here night after night, appropriating
my time to yourself ' and ' keeping
other nice young men away. You
want me to marry you, don't you?"
"I Idol" gasped the young man.
"I though so. Very well, I will."
An exceedingly drung man oa a
very rainy day, stood waving back:
and forth beneath a belching water
spout A passing policeman took
him by the arm, thinking to lead him
and mumbeld: "Shave the wimmen
an' children! I c'n swim." .
Coughs and Consumption. ';.
Coughs and colds, when neglected,
always lead to serious trouble of too
lungs. The wisest thing to do when
you have a cold that troubles you is
to get a bottle Of Dr. King's New Dis
covery. You will get relief from the
first dose, and Anally the cough will
disappear. O. H. Brown, of Musca
dine. 'Ala,, writes: "My wife was
down in bed with an obstinate coush,
and I honestly believe had It not tsen
for Dr. King's New Discovery, she
would not be living today." . Known !
for forty-three years as the best rem
edy for coughs and colds. Price 50c
and $1.00. Recommended by all deal-
Oncq upon a tiine'theTe was a man. That man was a married man. He was
working hard to provide' for, a family of growing children. He knew that lie
was each day growing older; .hut he had little time to think of the future. He
had a good position and was getting $100 each month.' .'He was renting' a
house for $25, which with foo d, clothing and other necessities, consumed the
whole of his salary. Foivyears he had been "striving to save ahead for hard
times, for his children's scho oling, and for a competence during old age.
He had always worked for a s alary and he had always paid rent. Alt'io he
knew that he was drawing a good salary and th at there was very little chance
for a raise, still he was dimly aware of a desire for something better. Yet,
What that something was he was hardly sure.
One day a man came to him and asked him how much he would sell his home
for. Our Man hardly knew why, hut he seemed ashamed to admit the fact.
"Why, I own no home. I simply rent it." - ,
However, it started him to thinking, ne was actually paying one-fourth of
his income for house rent, He had done so for over ten years. He had paid '
over $3,000.00 to his various landlords, and what had he to show for this truly
great amount! Great, for it represented two and one half years of hard, try
ing work. v - ' :
The next day he went to a rea 1 estate dealer, who helped him find just the
kind of a place he wanted (real estate , men are the most accomodating
people in the world) A nice six room house, and a lare lot for the children to
play in. He was to pay $200 (all he had saved) and then, interest included,
only $27.50 per month.
At the end of two years it was about half paid for. In other words what be
would have given to the rente e had now purchased him a 50 per cent equity
in a nice home. Besides, the s atisfaction, the comfort; and the inspiration of
living in a home that he could. truly call his own had been instrumental in se
curing an increase of salary, ne also had improved .the place and in many
little ways had added to the a atural increase of value. By now he had saved
another $200 and with, this and a mortgage on the place he built a flue modern
bungalow on the extra 'lot. This he immediately rented and by the end of
two years more he had paid off the mortgage and had finished paying on the
original contract. ...
Four years ago all the capital he had ; to has name was a small nest egg of
$200. Now he had property e asily worth $3500. Besides all of this gain, he
had enjoyed the blessings of owning his own home!- He now sold' the old
house and moved itno the new. Withthis money he bought a ' considerable
share of the business he had worked for so long and is today on the road of a
very promising career. The Difference Between Success and Failum Is OJtsn,
Whether You Write Rent Ch ecks or Receipt Them.
