FARTHEST NORTH
There seems to be no doubt that
Cook has achieved the impossible. It should be a source of congratulation
to Americans that the honor belongs to them. Beginning with Sir Hugh
Willoughby In 1553 and continuing
through the years since, there has
been a path of death marked with the
bodies of those who have dedicated themselves to the Icy North. One compiler puts the number of lives lost In arctic expeditions to the north at
753!. Before our time Sir Martin
Frobisher, Henry Hudson, Baffin, Ber
ing, Franklin and many others had blazed the way which Nansen, Peary
and the 111 fated Andree followed
There is something remarkable in the fearlessness which has been dis
played in this long line " of exploits.
Not one of these men but knew that it
was more than probable that he would
never see his home again. No one can read, the tale of any of the ex
plorers whether It be Franklin or NanBen or the DeLong expedition in the
doomed Janeatte without a feeling of sadness or romantic interest. Today Shackleton in the south 111 miles from the pole and Cook in the north y f h apparently an almost perfect score , head the list. It is then i we all wonder at the hardihood which baa induced the men to go for scientific purposes and a love of adventure. For there is nothing - in the : later explorer's motive which led the - earlier ones. They were seeking for ' a short cut to the Isles of the East Indies and though they braved the unknown seas it was in the hope of finding gold under the ends of the phantom rainbow, Here is a partial list of the records: Year. Explorer. , Deg. Mln. 1587 John Davis 72 12 1694 William Barents . . 77 . 20

And so when the wife of Cook received the message "Successful" it must have been an overjoying sense of relief as well as of pride that the riddle ' of the North was solved and th man who had achieved was the man who was "Farthest North. Just now there is no authentic report of the expedition but It is in the prestige rather than in any new and startling discovery that the result is most probably to be judged by. It will be what is not found rather than what is found at the Pole wiuch will be most apparent For the time was when the whole world fondly hoped that there was a treasure or a fissure In the earth which led into the Fields of Elysium at 90 N. Lat.

of chance, but of men. It was Harriman who built up a mighty railroad empire. The territory he has developed did not grow by accident, or might look differently if another man would have tried to develop it. It is personality that , makes history or starts progress or moves commerce or creates values and shapes the economic affairs of nations.

Great Scene at Betheny. From the New York Mail. With the air above the plain
Bethany full of flying machines; with one aeroplane making a flight at one ascent of 102 miles, another of 83 miles, another of 72 miles, and so on; with one aviator flying in a single tifay, in three successive flights, a distance of 210 miles; with the machines crossing and saluting one another, and successfully breasting windstorms it is evident that the problem of air flight has been solved, and that we are on the threshold! of still more startling aerial triumphs.

Mexico's Disaster. From the Baltimore Sun. Mexico's disaster makes an appeal to this country for aid for its flood
sufferers that will not go unheeded.
The story of the disaster is one to
bring' pity from the whole world and
Americans will respond quickly to the relief of their neighbors across the Rio Grande.
Upon the horrors of the flood follow
sickness, lack of water and food and
general destitution and misery. Generous and prompt help is needied.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.

in expletives, a student of anathema and a bachelor of profanity, it is not credible tha't he can say anything
about Mr. Fowler of New Jersey one
half so scathing as Mr. Fowler has said about him.
Chicago, Sept. 2. "The Bible was written for grown people by grown people. Some, portions are unsuitable other portions are unintelligible, to the child or youth. . A few parts can be used, but whole books and sections of the bible, as well as paragraphs and verses, have so little relation to present day life that they serve no purpose for the education of the youth." This Is a statement by Clyde Weber Votaw of the University of Chicago In an article in the Biblical World for September, which appeared yesterday. "The United States," says Mr. Votaw," contains 24,000,000 children of
school age. There are 140,000 Sunday schools in the country enrolling 13,500,000 members. The Sunday school must for years carry the chief responsibility, next to the home, of giving the children appropriate and adequate moral Instruction and training along with their religious education." Mr. Votaw then explains the four educational processes used in the Sunday schools, religion, theology, the bible and ethics, and tells how they are combined by teachers who are inade
quately educated to be proficient teachers. "The Sunday schools," he says, "are certainly well worth while even with these nonprofessional and moderately equipped teachers, who, notwithstanding their limitations, are doing a great and vital work for the children. If the impartation of knowledge were the main purpose of the school they could not succeed so well, but the real purpose is the development of charac
ter, the building upof high Ideals, the instilling of principles of true living.
the cultivating of right feelings and motives, the development of a sound conscien- a clear insight and a capable judgi .it." Mr. Votaw explains how children obtain false impressions concerning their religion and cannot have these wrong ideas shaken all through life. He believes that the Sunday school should be a school of religion and morality, where the love of God, faith, reverence obedience, prayer, worship and joy should be taught in all its varied forms. It should be a school of real life, so as to distinguish the good and the bad and eventually make the boy or girl useful and good.

Questions. Have you followed the ways of vacation? Have you sat 'neath the drip cf the rain In the shed they describe as a station, Awaiting the next local train? Have you sped where the cinders, swift-flying, Would ruthlessly sting and smart; Have you bumped o'er bad roadways while trying To balance yourself in a cart?
Have you slept in a hallroom so narrow That at night when you went to your rest You'd have to lie straight as an arrow And stand on one foot while you dressed? Have you met the young woman who simpers. Or the bounder" who hangs 'round the bar, Or the infant who constantly whimpers, Or the young man who twangs the guitar? Have you joined in the vast fascination That yearly impels men to roam? Have you followed the ways of vacation , And aren't you glad to get home?

Many people delude themselves by saying "It will wear away," when they notice symptoms of kidney and bladder trouble. This is a mistake. Take Foley's Kidney Remedy, and stop the drain on the vitality. It cures backache, rheumatism, kidney and bladder trouble, and makes every trace of pain, weakness, and urinary trouble disappear. A.

Not long ago a young fellow, an oitimist and a Chicago ttorney, down on his luck, died in the insane ward of the Cooto County, Illinois, almshouse. After his death his last will and testament, the most unique and. probably the most beautiful, on record, was found in a pocket of his coat. On a resolution of the Chicago Bar association the document was sent to probate and so was spread on the records of Cook county. For the benefit of those who, notwithstanding their condition in life, have never been able to see or understand the best in life, this will is published: - I, Charles Lounsberry. being of sound and disposing mind and memory, do hereby make and publish this, my last will and testament, in order, as justly as may be, to distribute my interest in the world among those succeeding me: That part of my interest which Is known in law and recognized In the sheep bound volumes as my property, being inconsiderable and of no account

will. My right to live, being but a life estate, is not at my disposal, but. these things excepted, all else in the world I now proceed to devise and bequeath. Item: I give to good fathers and mothers, in trust for their children, all good little words of praise and encouragement and all quaint pet names and endearments, and I charge said parents to use them justly, but generously, as the needs of their children shall require. Item: I leave to children Inclusively, but only for the term of their chlldhaad, all and every flower of the field and blossom of the woods, with the right to play among them freely, according to the customs of childreu, warning them at the same time against thistles and thorns. And I devise to children the banks of the brooks and the golden sands beneath the waters thereof, and the odors of the willows that dip therein, and th white clouds that float high over the giant trees. . And I leave the children the long, long days to be merry In a thousand ways, and the night and the train of the Milky Way to wonder at. but subject, nevertheless, to the rights hereinafter given to lovers. Item: I devise to boys, jointly, all the useful, idle fields and commons where ball may be played, all pleasant waters where one may swim, all snowclad hills where one may coast and all streams where one may fish, or where when grim winter comes, one may skate, to hold the same for the period of their boyhood, and all meadows with clover blossoms and butterflies thereof; the woods with their appurte
nances, the squirrels and the birds, the echoes and strange noises and ail
distant places which may be visitant.
leave to them the power to make lasting friendships and of possessing companions, and to them, exclusively, I give all merry songs and grave choruses to sing with lusty voices. Item: And to those wno are no longer children or youths or lovers. I leave memory, and bequeath to them the volumes of the poems of Burns and Shakespeare and of other poets, if there be others, to the end that they may live the old days over again, freely and fully without tithe or diminution. Item: To our loved ones with snowy crowns. I bequeath the happiness of old age, the love and gratitude of their children until they fall asleep.

Factor of Personality. From the New York Financial World. It was not hero worship that caused the intense interest of the financial and commercial world in Harriman's health, but 'consideration of the over, towering position of this man In the economic affairs of the nation. It was simply a cold business proposition, for the disappearance of such a personality of mighty brains and activities would mean- the loss of a valuable asset of a country which has gained by his : constructive railroad abilities.

New York, Sept 2. In an affidavit filed in the supreme court in opposition to the implication of his wife, Daisy B. Davenport, for alimony at the rate of $130 a week pending the determination of her suit for a separation,
Homer Davenport, the cartoonist, set forth that although his gentle pastime of raising thoroughbred Arabian horses has been a most expensive luxury it is a necessary inspiration for his, artistic temperament. In th?3 connection he added: "I feel that I neec it (the Arabian stud farm at Goshen) for my physical and mental health, without which I believe that I would be unable to do my work." A little further along In his affidavit Davenport sets forth that his wife had been very extravagant and cited as an example of her alleged extravagance that in one week she bought from one merchant seventeen pairs of shoes.'; :. . . v;? 4 ' Samuel I. Frankenstein, couifsel for Davenport, told Justice Giegrich of the supreme court that in considering Mrs. Davenport's application tor ali
mony, based upon the assertion that her husband was in receipt of a salary of $13,000 a year, the court should bear in mind that Davenport was losing money on raising Arabian horses, and that it was necessary for the defendant to continue the stud farm, because he could not do his artistic work without the inspiration and recreation of his Arabian horses. "Your honor should not deprive Mr. Davenport of his recreation, which, though a costly one, is necessary to him, to keep his art up to the standard," said the lawyer. "Artists must
have such relaxations as appeal them.
"Your honor should also 'talc
consideration the fact that Mr. Daven
port owes some $22,nnr. which he is paying off at the rate of $100 a week, and that he needs $7,000 a year for his personal wants. It Is not for the court to say that Mr. Davenport must be deprived of his personal recreation, his Arabian horses, for without them he could not work." Justice Giegrich reserved his decision. . .
