Absolute silence- reigns supremo
at the north pole, fill animal life
being extinct. The Doctor's ther
mometer registered 117 degrees be
low zero on April 21, 1008.
Some of the friends of Artie Ex
plorer Perry and other hard-to-bc-lleve
people arc trying to put Dr.
Cook in the Aninlas Club, but the
Doctor has somo proofs to present
that may place him in the Hall of
Fame later on.
Davius Green, the pioneer flying
machine man, was looked upon as
a lunatic because he tried to do
what the aviators of to-day are do
ing. If faluro to succeed in what
other people believe is impossible is
evidence of lunacy, then the more
lunatics we have the greater will be
the world's progress.
Our sister nation, Canada, has
had nearly onu hundred years of
peace. Not since the war of 1S12
has her sword been unbuckled. The
fruits of her long peace is seen in
the prosperity of her people, and
the great railroads she lias con
structed across the continent. Siie
is planning for a big celebration of
the event in 1S14, which will be the
centennial year of the end of her
last appeal to arms.
The only satisfaction that there
is in the North Pole discovery, is the
knowledge that the journey to that
heretofore unvlslted region has
been accomplished. Everybody
knows that the world has a north
and south pole, and Dr. Cook's re
port that ho visited the former does
not add to that knowledge. There
Is nothing tangible in the exploit
unless it is to prove that America
has a Dr. Cook, a man with a won
derful nerve and capable of great
physical endurance.
The lid which has made Hones
dale a staid old town 3G5 days in
the year, was blown off on Monday
night of "Old Home Week" and
there was an overilow of exuberancy
that carried every one off their feet.
People became intoxicated with joy
and good fellowship and King Fun
reigned supreme. There was no
vicous disorder except by a few
a very few v, ho went just beyond
the lines of propriety. But gener
ally everybody loosened up, and
while the older peope went back
at least twenty years in their lives
the younger element took the "bit
in their teeth" and all together they
made the evening a merry one, and
one long to bo remembered. As
one oldtimer said, "Everybody was
a boy or a girl again in action if
not in age." Confetti, ticklers and
horns wero greatly in evidence.
No casualties.
A Newspaper Man's Paradise.
It has often been said that Minne
sota is governed by the country edi
tor. This may not bo strictly true,
but certainly the "fourth estate" Is
more numerously represented there
in public place than in any other
commonwealth.
The governor, his private secre
tary and executive clerk are country
newspaper men; so are the labor
commissioner, tho executive agent
of the game and flsh commission,
the state oil inspector, the state li
brarian, the secretary and assistant
secretary of state, the assistant la
bor commissioner, the state fire
warden, the assistant fire marshal,
the deputy public examiner, tho
secretary of the dairy and food com
mission, the assistant clerk of the
supreme court, tho secretary of tho
board of control. Both political
parties have recognized the capabil
ity of the country editor for official
position from . the earliest history
of the state, and ho has already been
an active force In legislative coun
cils and In the minor places under
the national and state governments,

OLD HOME WEEKS.
Tho habit of having "old home"
celebrations is increasing, and the
habit is a good one, says Collier's.
It lends permanency to feelings and
ideals; it cultivates tho imagination
and the sentiments; it encourages
an Interest In the human realities of
history. These celebrations differ
iu various places, but all live up to
tho name, and the differences are
not in spirit. In every case tho
town is on its mettle to make its
host appearance. In one small
place, for Instance, of a thousand
souls, lying more than a dozen
miles from a railroad, we notice
among tho events registered, tho
reception of badges, sunrise salutes,
band concerts, base ball games, au
tomobile day, "hops," reunions,
picnics, dramatic performances,
gramophone entertainments, and as
many items besides. Of course the
son ordaughter of the town who
has come from afar to sec "the old
place" again can never see It en
tirely as it was. The garden has
new-fangled leanings, the well
sweep has gone, the barn looks dif
ferent, the clump of willows has
grown. Much, however, comes back.
Initials in the schoolhouse desk may
recreate the past. Near the school,
also, Is the little hollow where, one
recess, you saw her, had your first
light, aud gained a black eye. There
is the old swimming hole, and,
thought the underbrush about has
changed, the boys are going through
tho same motions on what looks like
a smaller scale; and, likewise, tho
cave upon tho hill, doubtless called
the Devil's Don. An old flame is
usually remembered. You go
round to call upon her, you pat liar
four lusty youngsters upon the
head, and tell the mother tho while
that she has discovered the fountain
of eternal youth. Indeed, it might
bo pleasantcr If thoro wero not
something "doing" every second.
Games, concerts, speechifying one
can find everywhere. The old home
could be better seen w'' t a
little more of naturalness and quiet.
THE NEW "HALF MOON."
The Half Moon sailed into New
York on July 22d, alter a twelve
days' voyage from Rotterdam, hav
ing beaten her previous record by
just forty-seven days. This is not
the sumo Half Moon that old Henry
Hudson used In discovering New
York, but it's as near like It as the
Dutch could make It. The differ
ence In speed is largely due to the
fact that tho now Half Moon sailed
over on tho deck of an ocean llnor,
Instead of In the water, as was tho
custom three hundred years ago.
Thus she established a record for
Half Moons that will probably stand
for many years.
Now York City, which had not
been discovered for over threo hun
dred years, was delighted at the
novel experience. Tho natives
crowded about the pier eager to get
a glimpse of the strange craft from
across tho sea. Tho savages stop
ped scalping each other in the Stock
Exchange and tried to sell stocks to
tho strangers. During tho lunch
hour thousands of young braves
from the financial district went
down aud had themselves discover
ed. Tho crew of tho Half Moon, when
interviewed, declared that they
wore glad to bo back again after
their long absence, and compliment
ed Now York upon tho growth of
her sky lino.
President Taft Glad.
Bovorly, Mass., Sept. 7. AVhen Pres
ident Taft received tho news that
Commander Ponry had reached the
north polo he said: "I am very glad
that Hie cninniiiudi'r has achieved suc
cess. All American should be proud
of It"

railroads, the shins and all the other great works which stand for man's
advancement and happiness.
The spenders aro slaves to the Eavers. It is the law of nature. Wo

CONCERNING THE HOUSES.
Be careful how you turn a horse
that has been accustomed to a dry
stable out to grass in tho Autumn.
Ho Is poorly prepared to stay out
in the cold rain, much less to Ho
on tho wet ground.
The exposure is too great and can
only work harm; lung troubles may
follow.
Nothing improves tho coat of a
horse so much or so quickly as a.
little ground flaxseed with his dally
grain ration.
Never feed or water a tired horse
until he has rested at least an hour.
Sponge out tho mouth and noso
with cool water and rub the legs
and body well as soon as tho stable
is reached.
If water has been withheld for a
long time give only a few swallows
at a time.
As heavy work slackens, slacken
on the heavy feed. Thousands of
horses are ruined every year by
overfeeding while on light work.
It is never well to give animals
Impure or muddy water, but tho
horso is especially apt to bo af
fected badly by that practice. In
fact, horses will not drink such wa
ter if they can help it. Do your best
to help It.
Shoo every horse as lightly as Is
possible for the labor ho is to per
form and thus avoid needless con
cussion and jar to feet and legs.
After removing a saddle apply
plenty of cold water with a sponge.
This closes tho pores and no Injury
or swelling will follow.
It Is a good plan to girth a thick
felt separately about tho horso un
der a side saddle.
This affords a surface for tho sad
dle to move on and lessens tho dan
ger of chafing or bruising.
Never use a narrow bit. Buy tho
largest and easiest ono that you cau
find.
