Copenhagen, Cable. Dr. Frederick A Cook, the American explorer, reach ed the north pole April 21, 1908, acc;rding to a telegram just received at the colonial office here. The message was received from Lerwick, Shetland islands.. Dr. Frederick A. Cook, accompanied by a Norwegian, left Etah, Greenland, March 3, 1008, taking with him eight Eskimos, four sledges and twelve dog teams.

Incidents ami positions wero recorded, but adventure .vas promptly forgotten in the next day's efforts. "The night of April 7 was made notable by the swinging of the sun at midnight over the northern Ice. Sunburns und frostbites now were recorded on the same dav. but the double day's glitter infused quite an incontive into one's life of shivers. "Our observation on April 0 placed the camp in latitude SC.'JG. longitude Ö4.2. "In splto of what seemed long marches, we advanced but little over 100 miles. Much of our work was lost In circuitous twists, around troublosomo pressure line and high. Irregular fields.

'Although rrazy with Joy. our spirits began to undergo a feeling of w earlness. "Next day, after taking all our observations, n sentiment of intense solicitude penetrated us while wo looked at the horizon. "Was it possible thnt this region, without a patch of earth had aroused the ambition of so many men for so many centuries? "There was no ground, only an immensity of dazzling white snow; no living being, no point to break the frightful monotony. "On April 2'i we started on our return." The conquering of the north by Dr. Cook wns achieved with remarkable lack of publicity that has been given practically every other expedition against the power of the Ice god. Comparatively few people knew of the event when in the little schooner John H. Hrndley he weighed anchor and sailed north from Sydney. N. S. The vessel was equipped and furnished by Dr. Roswell O. Stebbins, and the master of the vessel and Its crew were not Informed of the purposes of the trip. Dr. Cook, a man experienced In nrctic exploration, had ideas of his own as to methods by which tho polo could be reached. He had accompanied the Peary expedition of 1S91 as a surgeon, and ho won famo for his coolness and courage by leading a party of explorers to safety in an open boat through a dangerous sea. Ho had commanded an expedition of sportsmen, explorers and felentists Into the polar regions, where he made Important observations and described them in accepted geographical works. Decorated by Belgian Navy. He had been attached to a Dclglan nntnrctlc expedition and on account of his courage and resourcefulness saved the entire party from death. For this he was decorated by King Leopold.

(in these i xpedltiotis he made a full study tif ee and Ire conditions. He fhen evolved the theory which brought him the honor of discos erl:is the geographic pole. Throwing aside every tradition of arctic exploration, he decided to make his dash for the

pedo In midwinter. Ho figured that j his progm-H would not bo blocked ! nenrlj ho often by open lunes In the ice and his progrosH would therefore be more regular. Thin would be of great advautniee In feeding the dogs and the few Eskimos lio intended carrying as his companions. He also reckoned that the slight difference In the cold would not seriously affect either himself or his companions, ami as his direction would have to be computed by li.slriiments he cared nothing for the lack of light. Leaves Companion Behind. On reaching Etah. Greenland, he established a base of supplies, left behind Ills sole white companion, and with a few Eskimos, whose affection he had won. he started on his desperate journey. Ho departed from there Feb. 21, 1 OOS. According to his letters and the deductions of scientists and polar explorers, lie crossed to Ellesmere Land, reached by Cape Thomas Hubbard, on the edge of the polar Ice, waited a few days, laving in a stock of fresh meat. When he was ready, and taking but two of the hardiest of the Eskimos, he began his risky dash over the polnr Ice, 500 miles to the ultimate north. 30,000 Square Miles of Land. Tho laud which Dr. Cook found at the north polo Is said to bo vast in In extent. Its area is roughly est! mated at over 30,000 square miles. All of this land is not as barren as mipht be supposed, signs of animation having been discovered by the daring discoverer. There is some vegetation and haunts of big game, the nature of which Is yet to be ascertained. This land roaches almost to tho pole. a1 EVEN TO COOK'S POLE Constitution Will Follow the Flag, Says Wickersham. New York, Special: That the flag planted by Dr. Cook on the new arctic continent will be defended by the 1'nited Sintes was the opinion expressed by Attorney General WickerKham in an interview at Lawrence Heach. L. I., his summer home. "The constitution wil, follow tho ling If the new land discovered by Cook proves to be of any value," said Mr. Wickersham. "The new territory may perhaps not prove a very valuable acquisition, but If human beings can live there or if there are native races living there, a serious question of citizenship will have to be considered."

"My brother's success Is due to his gigantic and never-railing efforts, to his love for adventure and to the Cook ambition." said tho brother.

The Man From Out West

I Storiette It was Suturday that last and hardest day of the week. Since 5 o'clock Margaret Gladvs had b en on her feet directing and assisting her maid of all work, who, having been out to a dance tho night before, was even slowerhanded than usual. Yet. though provoked almost beyond endurance, Margaret did not lose her temper. She was a slender wonnn with a remarkable glrllshness of figure and a remarkublu pathos and sweetness of expression. Her big blue eyes had shed tears enough to fade them, but they were not faded. Bravely did she try to keep the corners of her mouth up as she went swiftly from one task to another. It was not her way to look worried or down-hearted, no matter how she felt. Twelve years before her big. rough husband to whom her mother had married her. nn ignorant slip of a girl, had gone down with his engine to the foot of an embankment in a cloud of escaping steam, which had scalded him to death. Since then life had been harder than ever for Margaret. There was a little daughter to be provided for besides herself, and only her two untrained hands to depend upon. For ten years she did everything that an honest. Incompetent womnn may do to earn her living. She sewed, baked, scrubbed and took care of the sick. The few hundreds of dollars that the railroad company had doled out to her as compensation for the loss of her bread winner had purchased a homo which sheltered her and the little Madge. But for food and fuel and clothing she had to furnish the wherewithal. In a big town, far from the few to whom she was Joined by ties of kinship, she fought alone In the sight or God and her little girl. At the end of ten years, with Madge beginning to be able to help a little. Margaret decided that she would try to do what so many of her neighbors did keep hoarders. She reasoned that working in her own home must of necessity be easier than working in another's. Her first boarder was an overflow from Mrs. Hunt's larger house a young mechanic who wanted a quiet place to lodge in. He brought others, until the house was as full as it could hold. For a year she worked alone, then help became a necessity. No place at her table was ever empty, for it was known throughout the neighborhood that cleaner beds and daintier fare could not be found anywhere. It was hard always to maintain the standard. Margaret felt that to-day as she hurried to and fro, preparing the Sunday dinner nnd that day's luncheon, bestirring the languid Maud and listening to hear If Madge were practicing as she should. The kitchen was full of odors and warm as an overheated range could make it. Suddenly Margaret caught at the edge or a table with one hand and pressed the other to her eyes. Maud, aroused by the unusual movement, stared at her. "What's the matter?" she asked. "Nothing." Margaret managed to say; "I'm Just a little dizzy, that's all. It's pretty close In here, ir you will watch tho cooking 1 think I will take a little rest." At that Instant something seemed to give way in her head; she began to sink and reit herseir railing. She tried to cry out as her hand was torn rrom the stair rail by Its own weight. Then a horrible, rushing darkness seized her, she reit a shock or a terrible blow, then, with a moan, she passed into unconsciousness. With another moan she opened her eyes and looked into those or a man who was bending over her with an exoression of great distray on his face. She knew him. He was tho man from out West, ns Madge called him. the man who wore a handkerchief knotted about his neck on wet days and pulled his hat-brim over his eyes on sunshiny ones. He had been In the house two months, yet she had rarely spoken to him. He never complained or was anything but quiet nnd sober. Sometimes, as she had hurried In nnd out of the dining room at meal time, she had met his eyes and they had Impressed her as being very dark and keen; It was the only way In which he ever appeared aware of her presence. "Are you hurt had?" he asked now. "Yes," Margaret tried to say, but Tailed, and had to finish her meaning with a nod. "My God!" tho man rrom out West said. He put his arms gently underneath her slim length and lilted her ns easily as a strong wind lifts a feather. Then he shouted for help. The sound of his voice rang strangely In Margaret's cars as she again lost consciousness. Half an hour later she round that she wns lying In her own bed- Dr. Krlng was there and he was talking to Mrs. Hunt, who was also there, about some one who was "going to be laid up n good while." "Do you mean me?" Margaret asked. Then, berore the nnswer she dreaded came, she turned her race awny and cried. To he laid tip Tor weeks, mnybe. seemed almost more than she could hear. IT she gave up her boarders, how could she live? And there was no one she could depend upon. Mrs. Hunt, fat, red of face, but with the kindness of nn angel, saw Margaret's tears, and she went over to her. "Now, my dear." she said, "cheer up. I'll see to things here for a few days till you're able to see to them yourself." "But how can you?" Margaret protested, faintly, but beginning to see a glimmer of hope. "You have your own work to do." "Don't you worry about my work, or yours either," returned Mrs. Hunt. But Margaret could not help worrying, though for a week all went fairly well. At the end of that time she managed to crnwl out or bod and downstairs, where, from a couch, she ran her own household machinery. The boarders were good, making no romplalnt, though there must have been reason for many. But It was the man from the West whom Madge praised loudest. "He bought most all the fruit and flowers you nnd last week," she declared, "and he asks after

you every time ho comfs In. And this morning, when Maud spilled some coffee down hiß buck, ho never taid a word." The man from the West, stroking her hair softly, said: "I see It's a new idoa to you. but it ain't to mo. I've wanted you ever since I firm saw you. I came out here looking for a vvifo, but the minute I saw you I knew I hadn't to look any farther. And I havon't. And I won't. 1 ain't poor. I've got a big ranch and money In the hank. I'll do well by you and edncafe tho little girl if you'll have me, will you?" He put his hand undor nor chin and lined her race until she had to look at him. "I never thought about I mean I didn't caro whether you had money or not." Margaret faltered, "but I did I do care about you " The table was thrust aside and he was beside her, holding her with awkward tenderness In his arms. "God loves you, girl, for that!" ho cried. And then he kissed her. New Haven Heglster.

THE GARDEN OF EDEN. Many Believe That the Island of Ceylon Was the Home of Adam. Millions and millions of the devo.it Christians of the Orient and all tho followers cd the Prophet Mohammed believe that the island of Ceylon Is the Garden or Eden, in which the human race first came to consciousness. Connecting Ceylon with India and the mainland of Asia is a low lying chain of islands and sand banks known as Adam's Bridge. In the southern part of the island is a beautiful mountain which has been known for centuries as Adam's Peak. A railroad built like the Florida Keys road to Key West will soon run across Adam's Bridge to connect Eden with Asia, and the angels with the llaming swords who stand guard at the gate will be made to do signal tower service for a Government rallwav. The high slopes of Adam's Peak are devoted to growing tea Tor tho afternoon delectation ut some daughter or Eve, who has long ago forgot the garden, the serpent and the exile. But despite all these modern Improvements and developments Ceylon is still a Garden of Eden, although It is much confused as to who Is the master of the garden. Near the top of Adam's Peak there is a depression in the stone which lesembles a footprint tho track left by a giant in the lorm of a man. Good Moslems nnd tho vast majority of Oriental Christians firmly be. love that it is tho footprint of Father Adam when he turned to leave h s paradise. Good Buddhists believe that it is the imprint of the bare foot of Gautama Buddha, who brought the enlightenment or his wisdom to Ceylon. Devout Hindoos believe that the footprint Is that of one of the thousand and eight manifestations of the second In the Brahtninical trinity. So pilgrims of every religion make their way to Adam'j Peak to pray tor the salvation of mankind at the spot where many or them believe the first sin came into the world. Twenty-five yeais ago Buddhism was moribund In Ceylon. Hardly n monk could be round, the temples were given over to the profanation of tho Hindus and their disgusting worship. Everybody rocognized that Buddhism wns dying out In Ceylon Just as it had already died in India. Colonel Alcott resolved to reform Buddhism. Enough of his Christian training nnd Occidental heritage remained with him to convince him that ralth. ir it have not works, is dead." He established a Buddhist college, in which bovs and young men were to be Instructed In the ordinary branches or learning and In tho pure precepts or their rathets' ancient ralth. Soon after came Mrs. Marie Higgins, also an American, who established a similar college for girls. The yellow-robed monks rubbed their eyes In wonder, and then they, too, caught some or the inspiration of the Western blood In an Eastern religion. In this same Garden of Edon the American laborers In the Christina vineyard are also hard at work. The American mission In the north or the Island Is taking outcast boys and girls, educating them, giving them English names nnd setting them out on the road to prosperity. In Colombo there Is nn old Dutch Presbyterian Church, the congregation dating from 10 13. The present church building was erected in 1749 and is tha largest and handsomest building in the city. It contains the tombs of the Dutch Governors. Generals and Admirals a mighty host. Its people nro all "burghers" descendants of the old Dutch colonists. Whether the footprint on tho peak Is that of Adam or Buddha or Vishnu only the pilgrims care. But there Is no "doubt that today American influence is the most potent in tho confused religions of this Island. Springfield Union. IDENTIFICATION BY VEINS. More Effective Means of Detection Than Are Finger Prints. A new method of Identification of prisoners has been devised by means of photographs taken of the veins on the back of the hand, the London Evening Standard says. Prof Thomassia, an Italian professor, the Inventor, bases his method on the observation that no two persons have the veins on th back of the hand so much nllko ns to allow room for confusion loss. Indeed, than with finger prlnLs. The prisoner's hnnd Is held downward for several minutes, or the pulse at the wrist is restrained, and the veins are then photographed. This photograph. Prof. Thomnssla says, will always be available for explicit proof, whereas criminals now understand that with an ordinary razor they can operate on their own hands wlthoul much pain or Inconvenience, nnd may change the pattern of the finger print beyoml chance of Identification. To burn the finger tips U more painful, but perhaps even more effective. On the othor hand, Prof. Tonmssla points out, a serious and dnngorous operation can modify the velnal system.

Woman's Adaptability in Married Life A woman bcyin upon her weddimj day that suppreMoii ot herself and lur othirvvise i.-llile emotions that lifo from car to yenr ietuireh ot her. Why It has become u matter of established and cxpct-tid form that on the oceaslou of the most sacred and pthoiiii1 affairs of life the bridal and the hiniiil doors should be thrown open and a cloud or witnesses should lie asked in to view the exhibition, Is explained only by the lov of the spectacular or by the survival of the old Interest in ghidltcjflal shows and the balling- of the bear. But the public wed ling in the crowded church, or with the tluong of guests at home, has become a usual thing, nnd the bride's business Is to loik as lovely as fate allows ami to hhovv no atom of emotion or of Inner reeling, neither that of a Venus Vletrlx or or a lamb led to the slaughter. It is not an easy task, hut she usually succeeds In It; and when well done it helps her. with various previous experiments, to keep In the background, her lire long, much of the visual evidence of herself which she finds it best to reserve from sight nnd knowledge. 'liiere may be many a thing olout her husband not to her taste; as with equal possibility there may be much about her not to his taste, either; things seen in the iiiiniHarity of marlied lire nnd tmguessed before, but which husband and wil'ccnii no more change now than the leopard can change his spots. The husband, the wife, was loved liefere, it Is still desired by both to love and to be loved, maintain the warmth of mutual aifec(ion. each Is still dear in spite or any fault; and thus a very necessary .suppression of personal tastes and preferences takes place almost at once. If, for Insta pee. a wife said just what sue thought, or showed just what she felt, concerning her husband's friends who come Into her purview, there would either be a great disturbance upon the spot, and It would be found out who was master, or the husband would take to meeting bis friends somewhere outside the home, where It might be best neither for him nor for her. Or, again, a wire perhaps objects to her husband's pipe or cigar; but she knows very well that It Is wise not to waste herseir upon the small vices, but to reserve her reprobation for the greater occasions. She may very possibly find tilings that are unpleasant to her in the traits of her husband's family but or what use to betray It? Without question he may reel the same about hers, and It gives-n way her advantages to express it. There they arc; and the wisest and pleasantest course for her Is to suppress her feeling. And In the course of time the feeling that Is suppressed unless exasperated to outburst or stimulated to ranker growth almost ceases to exist. One thing which, as a rule, never docs cease to exist, is her objection to the way In which her husband corrects the children. Yet to lift an eyebrow about It she knows Is not only likely to make a bad matter worse, but Is bad for the children themselves: and not by n look askance unless positive and unbearable cruelty stijcrvciie will she dismount the father's lntluence and authority. Nor does any of this Imply that there Is to be the least deceit on the part of the wife, ir she Is asked, or If sho finds It necessary, she will declare her state of mind: but experience and observation hnve shown her that tact Ts the viceroy of success, and that It accomplishes much more than the direct means of open opposition do. Moreover, great love will nlwnys make her wish that her husband should be first, should have his own way wherever It Is possible; and It tells her that he would too orten give up his way for hers ir lie knew her way were other than his: and she frequently derives her greatest happiness in keeping her differing way effectually nut of sight. Indeed Hint womnn whose marriage has been most conspicuously a happy one. might toll you II she would that It has been so lnrgcly throu-.ii a long self-effacement and suppression in many things, the bnlance of satisfaction being struck in others, rnd that It Is not alone tho women of the convent-cell who are sih'ii only behind veils and lattices. THE EFFECT OF CLIMATE. Sharp Contrast Noted Between Eng. Iich and American Born Boys. A stout Englishwoman said tho othci day that in, her opinion tho American climate Is "better ror boys" than that of her native Island. "My first two hoys wero born In Yorkshire ' "he snld. "and my young er three were born In Massachusetts and Ohio. Well, these three fellows nro way ahead of their British brothers. They have more brains and they'ro quicker to catch on to things." Her husband agreed with her so far as tho Intellectual Fiiporlorlty of his American boys were concerned. Ho added, however, that tho blessing wns not an unmixed one. "Tho American hoy has more cheek." h" said. "He talks too much and thinks little of bis father. My English bovs when they were hoys, used to ln.d; up to their pop. They thought mo the cleverest nnd bravest man on erth. That Im't what my Yankee lads think of tne. They obey me all righ enough, but thero Is something In their eye nil tho time which makes me fool ns If they set me down for a foreign old fool. They're too proud of their country, and everything that Isn't merlcan seems small nnd funny to thein."-New York Commercial Advertiser. The Lady Caller. "Well." remarked the optimist, "opportunity knocks once nt every door" " oh. there's one thing very feminine about opportunity," replied tho pessimist.
