Another thing—why should the
tilde love, honor and obey her hus
bund when nobody else does.’
The fellow who has always been a
small potato amounts to something
now and to be called a bad egg Is
no disgrace. Any kind of an egg Is
worth money.
In other words, we are face to face
with the sad reminder that confed
erate money In 1864 wouldn't buy very
much le38 to eat than American gold
buys now judg.ng by the prices quot
ed in our esteemed contemporaries.
An exchange has the following:
' The skunk trap of a trapper near
Auburn. N. Y., was robbed of a fresh
ly caught skunk. A local Sherlock
Holmes caught Roy Walters on strong
eitcumstantial evidence and he was
fined $50 and some scents.”
The Houston Post 3couts the Idea
that Burleson and Gregory are to re
sign from the cabinet saying: ‘A
cabinet resignation with the name of
a Texan signed to It will have to be
forwarded to our Missouri address
before we can believe such a report
as that"
The following taken from a Ken
tuckian exchange may express the
sentiments of some, or may be op
posed to the ideas of others, all de
pendent on the point of view': Back
ward, oh Time in your flight; give
us a maiden with skrits not so tight;
give us a girl whose charm3 many
or few, are not exposed by much
ptek-a-boo; give us a maiden, no
matter what age, who wont use the
street for a vaudeville stage; give us
a girl not so shapely in view', dress
her ;in ekirts the sun wont shine
through, and give, us the dance of the
days gone by, with plenty of clo'hes
and steps not too high; turkey-trot
■apers and buttermilk glides, the
hurdy-gurdy twist and the wiggle
tt/ll slide, and other such bunny hugs
al’ on a level as products of hell all
1'spired of the devil; then let us feed
Air tired optics once more on the
y^nuine woman" as sweet as of yore.
Yes, Time, please turn backward, and I
grent our request for God’s richest
blessing—but not so undressed. |
Arctic explorers come and go. Most I
of them deny that they are searching I
for fame. They affim that they want I
to benefit the world by such scientific I
discoveries as they may make. A few I
frankly acknowledge that they are I
looking for new lands, rich minerals I
and material benefits. Whatever may I
be the profes3qdf aim of the explorer I
they seldom in the past have been I
able to foresee the great results that I
wruld follow' their trail blazing and ||
so it is likely to be with the Arctic |i
travelers of our own day. I
Recent reports trorri various Arctic Ij
explorations promise more in practical I
results than the work of many of the I,
frostbitten explorers of recent years. I
S'afansson has discovered a new land I
north of Mackenzie bay, and there is I
rumor of mineral wealth In sight. He I
region and now sends word that he
will not return before the summer of
1918. He has been living largely on
the country, which means a tough
f< io, and showing his abllliy to exist
jnd carry on his work without regard
to the supplies from civilization gtn
n .llv keenly needed in Arctic explora
tions,
Ste.fan3Son's new land north of
Mackenzie bay is of uncertain extent,
r.d little has so far been made known
of its chacacter or resources. It is
to a closer acquaintance with this
lend that the explorer will probably
d. vote the next eighteen months be
fore returning
Recently another explorer. Chris
tian Laden, has accomplished some
th! g for the Dominion of Canada by
Ins work, in which service Stefans
son is also enlisted. He has traversed
the gieat waste In the extreme north
west of Canada, beyond Hudaon bay,
and believes tbat gold and oil deposits
exist there. He found a native with
a gold tipped harpoon and another
who hud gold nuggets for his rifle.
Fiom many natives Leden had news
of both oil and goal farther north.
Tilt explorations of both Stefans
sen and Leleu are likely to be of the
g’eateat material Importance. Their
work, though separately undertaken,
is pointing to the same ultimate
treasure house l’vrhaps the next
great stampt de will be over trails
more dlfflcult and remote than any
thus fur i> coded.
hese n, i arc in the employ of the
Dominion iwunmcnt and frankly
'hey are .o. king for material wealth
au well as far other things. Amund
ien and Prii.ett who, each Independ
ent of the other, are to attempt to
drift across ih< Arctic sea and the
pole hate a difiere.it purpose Amund
sen proposes to .study the currents
of air about the pole and the our
'•enls o' water far below the surface.
M* alms to drift across the Arctic in
from two to five years and calculates
that he should conn* within 160 miles,
at the fartherest, of the pole. In order
to reach the pole when so near as that
he will embark In his hydro-aeroplane
and make the Journey in two or three
hours. He says that He does not care
for the honor of being there as It has
already been reached. But probably
deep In his heart Is the ambition to be
the only man who has reached both
piles.
