His death came after a relapse which he suffered Saturday following- an opera tion, and thousands of his admirers were hoping for his recovery.

In a reader's letter to the ' editor "I have a housb-cat,” the reader wrote, "which I found possessed an extraordinary appetite for [ cheese, and every time cheese was placed oh the table the cat would sit bisside me and beg for this . very ordinary food. "it will, no doubt. Interest your readfers to know that upon inves- ' tigatlon 1 found that the cate ate : the cheese and then went to a mousehole in the woodwork and breather heavily into it until the mice were enticed to come out.” 'Natives of World’s Northernmost Village Are Contented People Kings Hay, Suitzbergen—United Press. —Hardy residents of these island, only SOO miles from the North Pole, laugh when strangers speak of Spitzbergen as the rim of the earth. To them the real "old north" is many miles further on. among the nameless settlements near Point Morris Jes sup, Greenland. There people among the strangest in the world live lit* primitive conditions known nowhere else. Commander Byrd, before his flight to the pole, planned to establish his base among these Eskimos, who number two or three hundred. He may go there in the summer of 1927. If so, he wifi find them as Peary left them years ago—dirty, hospitable and profoundly content. Peary was the first man really to become acquainted with them anil live to bring back the story. His ship wintered several times at Point Mor ris Jessup, and some of the natives accompanied him to the United States. Mrs. Peary also took along a girl. Ekrarisuark, who was called 'Bill" and exposed for a while to all the ad vantages of civilization. The Peary Eskimos pined for their igloos and frozen walrus meat, and went home. Two of them became prominent in the tribe merely by rea son of the tall stories they told. They were eclipsed by one Samik. when Peary gave hm a wooden row however, Who became a plutocrat boat in which to fish. Through his wealth Samik won the hand of ‘Bill,” who after her study abroad U-as regarded as the tribe's choicest peach. As the stories here go, Mrs. Samik proved a good wife, unspoiled by her sojourn in the southlands. The last traveler to see her said sh e had for gollbti all her civilized ways and was no more squeamish about what went into the stem than any of her sisters finishing trip abroad. Nowadays the only knowledge the tribe has of the outside world is when a chance explorer or Scotch whaler happens to come near enough for a
