Cook's Brother Predicts He

Will Try for. the South Pole.

CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS

New York, Sept 3. Confident of

the ability of Dr. Frederick A. Cook to accomplish what he set to do, his brother, William L. Cook, when seen at his home, 749 Bedford avenue, Brooklyn, said that "Fred" would undoubtedly set out to reach the south

pole after a period of rest -with his family here. Plans to Conquer South. William Cook said that "Fred"

would nerer be content until he ac

complished this, as he had taken part in one antarctic expedition which had failed. "I fully believe that he will attempt to reach the antarctic pole," said William Cook this afternoon. You reWember that he was on an antarctic

expedition first. It failed. Now that

he has reached the north pole, I believe he will continue, and I am confident that he will reach it. I think he will merely come here long enough to meet bis family and rest and then start out after the south pole." Brother Is Calm. Mr. Cook was rather calm for the brother of a man whose name has been blazoned around the world. He Is a hearty man, with four girls and two boys. He lives above his milk depot, on Bedford avenue, and, while the sons and daughters could not restrain their enthusiasm for "Uncle Fred," the brother was smiling, but cool. "No, I am not surprised by the announcement," said William Cook. "Of course, at first It was something of a sensation, but when I remembered Fred's capabilities I realized it was the thing I should have expected and have expected all along."

GREAT RECEPTION TO BE TENDERED THE DISCOVERER (Continued From Page One.)

cal experts of the reliability of his observations and reports. Puts It Up To Dr. Cook. "We trust that when the proper time comes for a full and impartial examination of the record of the expedition Dr. Cook will meet with the fairness and consideration his particular case especially invites." "If Dr. Cook," the Morning Post says, "has found a new track to the pole in so short a time as SS days others can follow in his footsteps and verify his story for themselves. When the matter has been settled beyond all doubt the civilized world will acclaim Cook as one of the greatest explorers of all times." Dr. Hugh N. Hill, former librarian of the Royal Geographical society, is rather skeptical, but says that great weight must be attached to the opinion of pole explorers in America. "I should particularly like to know General Greeley's opinion,"- he said.' "My own feeling is that our present Information is insufficient to base any opinion upon."

END OF A RED NOSE.

New Flesh-Colored Product That Heals and Hides Skin Imperfections. A peculiar feature of poslam, a new skin discovery, is that It is naturally flesh-colored and contains no grease, so that when used on the face for the complexion, or for pimples, red noses,

or any other inflammations, blemish es, or discolorations, its presence can

not be detected. It can thus be applied in the daytime, the natural color of the skin being immediately re

stored and the actual healing and cur

ing process accomplished in a few days. It can be had of any pharma

cist who sells pure drugs. W. H

Owing to the inability of the contractors to complete the Mlddlebor-

ough school house, located in Wayne township, about six miles north of the city, the school in this district, which opens Monday, will be held in the Mildleborough church or in a nearby residence. Township trustee Howarth stated this morning that he would endeavor to secure permission to use the church and that he expected he would be successful. It will not be long until the school can be held in the new building, as the contractor believes that he will have it completed in the course of ten days or two weeks.

FARMER A VICTIM

OF A VERY CLEVER SWINDLING GAME (Continued From Page One.)

by an expert. The pin was valued at about $2, it Is said.

Mr. Kringer notified the police im

mediately but the case is a difficult

one and it is considered very doubt

ful that the swindler will ever be apprehended.

PRICE STAYS HIGH

Stock buyers do not look for the present high prices of cattle and hogs to decrease for several weeks yet, or until the new corn is in condition to feed. This will be good news to the farmers, many of whom are feeding large numbers of swine. The best price paid for hogs by local stock buyers this year is $8 per hundred pounds, live weight. Local farmers who have been selling to buyers have not commanded this price in the past ten years.

WILL CLOSE EARLY

County superintendent of instruction C. W. Jordan stated this morning, that the teachers of the county district schools which open next Monday would be notified to close school early that date. This is due to the fact that Labor Day is a national holiday and it is the common practice to give the students of the public schools advantage of an additional vacation day on such holidays.

PAID FOR HIS SCARE.

RavolMa'i Reward to the Maker mt m. Ballet Prof Coat. Just before Napoleon set out for the court of Belgiam hs sent to the cleverest artisan of Ms disss in Paris and demanded of him whether be would engage to make a coat of mail to be worn under the ordinary dress which would be absolutely bullet proof, and that If so he might name his own pries for such work. The man engaged to make the desired object, if allowed proper time, and he named 18,000 francs as the price of it The bargain was concluded, and In due time the work was produced and its maker honored with the second audience of the emperor. "Now," said the Imperial majesty, "put it on." The man did so. "As I am to stake my life on Its efficacy you will, I suppose, have no objection to do the same." And he took a brace of pistols and prepared to discharge one of them at the breast of the astonished artisan. There was no retreating, however, and half dead with fear he stood the fire, and, to the infinite credit of his work, with perfect Impunity. But the emperor was not content with one trial. He fired the second pistol at the back of the trembling artisan, and afterward discharged a fowling piece at another part of him, with similar effect "Well," said the emperor, "you have produced a capital work undoubtedly. What is the price of it?" Eighteen thousand francs was named as the agreed sum. "There Is an order for them," said the emperor, "and here is another for an equal sum for the fright that I have given you."

SAVAGE BLUEFISH.

Ther Act Like Sbeep Kllltac Doci Amoif the Ewes. All unseen, a desperate tragedy was In full swing. A horde of blue thugs was harrying a crowding mass of helpless moss bunkers, as was attested by a greasy streak on the surface and floating fragments of the fish which had been chopped in two by powerful and merciless jaws, writes Edwyn Sandys In Recreation. This Is the way of the blue. Among the schools of small fry he is like a dog among sheep; he seems to slay from sheer lust of slaughter. The skipper later declared that a blueflsh will cram itself to ths jaws with sections of Its victims, then, when there is room for no more, eject the mangled mass and begin all over again. This may or may not be true, but certain It la that the blue is possessed of an appalling voracity, which the fragments of its victims do not seem to satisfy. The terns know this, hence their close attendance when the carnage begins. While nature often seems to work in a savage mood and to impel her creatures to what may look like outrageous slaughter, a little of close observation seldom fails to discover a method in the apparent madness. The terns and other sea fowl are grateful for all scraps that float, while on the bottom bide the slow moving scavengers, ready to take care of whatever sinks their way. Nothing Is wasted, and the lobster, crab and other bottom feeders must bless ths Bams of the bluefiah.

Succulent Gum Drop is Real Conqueror of the North Pole

New York, Sept. 3. The succulent gum drop, the kind for which the youthful heart and tummy yearns, and the despised confection of days of discretion, the kind that the suburban grocer sells three for a penny and the wholesaler will practically give away, was the vehicle on which Dr. Frederick A. Cook rode to fame and fortune when he planted the Stars and Stripes at the north pole. Had it not been for the gum drop, Dr. Cook would probably still be wan-

THE THEATER.

"Ths Red Mill." i Such howls and roars of laughter as those which greet Bert O. Swor and Franker Woods when they appear in the opening of the second act of "The Red Mill" dressed as two Italian troubadours, with the hand organ and monkey, have probably never been duplicated in an American city, and when they commence their wrangling over the lost sixty cents the audience is so rapt In attention that the fall of a pin might be heard. "Heiress of the Lindens." Mr. Elwyn Eaton has gathered a company of much merit in support of Miss Bessie Wright who Is appearing in the title role of "The Heiress of the Lindens" which plays a matinee and night performance at the Gennett theater on Saturday. Popular prices prevailing.

That the suake bite bas a sixth sense by which It finds its mate la the woods and unerringly trails its prey is the belief of a man who is a special student of snakes. The seat of this sense of direction Is supposed to be the carious forked tongue, which can have none of the uses to which the tongue is usually applied, but is a feeler and more and is incessantly darting about as the snake travels. A lisard was seen to come from benestb s bouse in tbe woods, take a zigzar course and disappear under a box ten feet away. Two minutes later a black snake appeared, passed over the lizard's exact course, 'keeping tbe tongue constantly seeking the trail, and. darting under the box. quickly emerged witb the lizard In its jaw. Many other observations seem to prove that the tip of tbe tongue is the guide. Exchange.

CARD OF THANKS. Friends that are so ready to assist and give aid and comfort to those whom the grim reaper of death has visited and taken from our home, the most precious jewel of all, our dear wife and mother, and when the heart Is wrung with anguish, friends that are then ever ready and willing to render such kindly aid and assistance as all our neighbors have so readily and willingly done, to all these kind friends we offer our heartfelt thanks and lasting remembrance.

dering about polar regions wondering how he could get back and tbe coveted point would be still impatiently awaiting the advent of Peary or some other explorer who had found a substitute for the candy. . At least that is what John R. Bradley of New York says, and he ought to know. He financed the Cook expedition and bought the gum drops that discovered the pole. Mr. Bradley said today: "This was no haphazard expedition, no intensified Joy ride undertaken on nerve. We wont about our preparations for this thing quietly and without bands, but every contingency was provided for. "Dr. Cook knew that for him to be 8uccesful he had to completely win over the Eskimos of Ellsmere Land, from which he was to make his final dash. By his long arctic experience the doctor knew that there is but one thing that will completely win an Eskimo. He will do much for a box of axle grease, and a can of kerosene will be as much appreciated by him as a jolt of Bourbon by a confirmed toper on the morning after, bnt the finality of Eskimo happiness is achieved when he can wrap his teeth about a gum drop. "We ordered two barrels of the confection and were positive that whether the dogs gave out, the sledges broke dttwn, or the ice melted, as long as the gum drops lasted, success was assured. "Dr. Cook evidently gorged them on gum drops. When the Eskimos gave signs of falling the sight of a bi. Jellylike, scarlet-hued gum drop made them make Edward Pays on Weston's walking record look like a June bug in a flock of ducks. Two gum drops If we do thirty miles today,' Cook would promise, and the Eskimos would break a record."
