"No. I just bought her a deck chair for the balcony." Many Were in the Same Boat. According to the Saturday Evening Post, this is a story heard with much glee by congress during the last days of the Roosevelt administration: During the recent cold spell in Washington, a man, shivering and ragged, knocked at the door of a K street house and said to the lady: "Please, madam, give me something to eat. I am suffering severely from exposure." "You must be more specific," the lady replied. "Are you a member of the senate or of the house?" Not Asking Much. "The president," explained one of the secretaries, "can't stop at Plunk vllle on his swing around the circle. In fact, my good man, we are sched uled to go through Plunkvllle at 60 miles an hour." "Couldn't you throw out one of his old hats?" asked the leader of the com mittee, hopefully. Washington Herald. A BANKER'S NERVE Broken by Coffee and Restored by Postum. A banker needs perfect control of the nerves, and a clear, quick, accu rate brain. A prominent banker of Chattanooga tells how ho keeps him self in condition: "Up to 17 years of age I was not allowed to drink coffee, but as soon as I got out in the world I began to use it and grew very fond of it. For some years I noticed no bad effects from its use, but in time it began to affect me unfavorably. My hands trembled, the muscles of my face twitched, my men tal processes seemed slow and in other ways my system got out of order. These conditions grew so bad at last that I had to give up coffee altogether. "My attention having been drawn to Postum, I began It! use on leaving off the coffee, and it gives me pleasure to testify to its value 1 find it a delicious beverage; like it just as well as I did coffee, and dur'-g the years that I have UBed Postum I have been free from the distressing symptoms that ac companied the use of coffee.

I DENIES ALL CLAIM I PEARY OUTSPOKEN IN REGARD TO COOK'S JOURNEY Naval Officer Insists That the Doctor Did Not and Could Not Reach the North Pole, as He Says He Did. (Entered according to Art of Congress, In tlio year 1909. by tlio Petty Arctic club, In MM office of the I.lbrarlun of Congress, at rVaablngton, D. C.) New York, Oct. 12. The following statement of Commander Robert E. Peary, which ho submitted to the Peary Arctic club in support of his contention that Dr. Cook did not reach the north pole, is now made public for the first time. The state ment has been copyrighted by the Peary Arctic club INTRODUCTION BY PEARY. Some of my reasons for saying that Dr. Cook did not go to the north pole will be understood by those who' read the following statements of the two Eskimo boys who went with him, and who told me and others of my party where he did go. Several Eskimos who started with Dr. Cook from An oratok in February, 1908, were at Etah when I arrived there in August, 1908. They told me that Dr. Cook had with him, after they left, two Eskimo boys, or young men, two slodges and some twenty dogs. The boys were I-took-a-shoo and Ah-pe-lah. 1 had known them from their childhood One was about eighteen and the other about nineteen years of age. On my return from Cape Sheridan and at the very first settlement I touched (Norke, near Cape Chulon) in August, 1109, and nine days before reaching Etah, the Eskimos told me, In a general way, where Dr. Cook had been; that he had wintered in Jones Sound, and that he had told the white men at Etah that he had been a long way north, but that the boys who were with him, I-took-a-shoo and Ah-pe-lah, said that this was not so. The Eski mos laughed at Dr. Cook's story. On reaching Etah, I talked with the Es kimos there and with the two boys and asked them to describe Dr. Cook's journey to members of my party and myself. This they did in the manner slaii il below. (Signed) It. E. I'KARY. Signed Statement of Peary, Bartlett, McMillan, Borup and Henson, In Re gard to Testimony of Cook's Two Eskimo Boys. The two Eskimo boys, I-took-a-shoo and Ah-pe-lah, who accompanied Dr. Cook while he was away from Anora tbk in 1908 and 1909, were questioned Separately and independently, and were corroborated by Panikpah, the father of one of them (I-took-a-shoo), who was personally familiar with the first third and the last third of their Journey, and who said that the route for the remaining third, as shown by them, was as described to him by his son after his return with Dr. Cook. The narrative of these Eskimos Is as follows: They, with Dr. Cook, Francke and nine other Eskimos, left Anoratok, crossed Smith's Sound to Cape Sabine, slept in Commander Peary's old house In Payer Harbor, then went through Rice strau to Buchanan bay. After a few marches Francke and three Eski mos returned to Anoratok. Dr. Cook, with the others, then pro ceeded up Flagler bay, a branch of Buchanan bay, and crossed Elles inere Land through the valley pass at the head of Flagler bay, Indicated by Commander Peary in 1898, and utilized by Sverdrup In 1899, to the head of 8verdrup's "Bay Fiord" on the west side of Fllesmere Land. Their route then lay out through this fiord, thence north through Sver drup's "Heuerka Sound" and Nansen strait. On their way they killed musk oxen and bear, and made caches, arriving eventually at a point on the west side of Nansen strait (shore of Axel Hel berg Land of Sverdrup), south of Cape Thomas Hubbard. A cache was formed here and the four Eskimos did not go beyond this point. Two others, Koolootingwah and Inughito, went on one more march with Dr. Cook and the two boy3, helped to build the snow igloo then returned without sleeping. After being informed of the boys' narrative thus far, Commander I'eary suggested a -aeries of questions "to be put to the boys in regard to this trip from the land out and back to it. These questions and answers were as follows: Did they cross many open lands or much open water during this time? Ans. None. Did they make any caches out on the Ice? Ans. No. BW they -kill -aAybear or jsaljK.Wle. out on the ice north of Cape Thomas Hubbard? Ans. No. Did they kill or lose any of their dogs while out on the ice? Ans. No. With how many sledges did they start? Ans. Two. How many dogs did they have? Ans. Do not remember exactly, but some thing over twenty. How many sledges did they have when they got back to land? Ans. Two. Did they have any provisions left on their sledges when they came back to land? Ans. Yes; the sledges still had about all they could carry, so they were able to take but a few things from the cache. From here they went southwest along the northwest coast of Helberg Land to a point Indlcnted on the map (Sverdrup's Cape Northwest). From here they went west across the Ice, which was level and covered with snow, offering good going, to a low Island which they had seen from the shore of Heiberg Land at Cape Northwest. On this Island they camped for one sleep. From this Island they could see two lands beyond (Sverdrup's Ellef Ring nes and Amund Ringnes Lands). From the Island they Journeyed toward the left-hand one of these two lands (Amund Ringes Land), passing a small island which they did not visit. The answers of the Eskimo boys to Commander Peary's series of Inde pendent questions, showing that they killed no game, made no caches, lost no docs, and returned to the land with loaded pledges, makes their at tainment of the pole on the trip north of Cape Thomas Hubbard a physical and mathematical impossi bility, as it would demand the sub sistence of three men and over twen ty dogs during a journey of ten hun dred and forty geographical miles on less than two sledge loads of supplies. If it is suggested that perhaps Dr. Cook got mixed and that he reached the pole, or thought he did, between ; the time of leaving the northwest coast of Heiberg Land at Cape North I west, and his arrival at Ringnes Land, ' where they killed the deer, we must then add to the date of Dr. Cook's let ter of March 17th, at or near Cape j Thomas Hubbard, the subsequent four or five sleeps at that point, and the I number of days required to march ; from Cape Thomas Hubbard to Cape ! Northwest (a distance of some sixty i nautical miles), which would advance i his date of departure from the land I to at least the 25th of March, and be ' prepared to accept the claim that Dr. ! Cbok went from Cape Northwest (about latitude eighty and a half de grees north) to the pole, a distance of five hundred and seventy geographical miles, in twenty-seven days. After killing the deer they then trav- i eled south nlong the east side of Rlng- nes land to the point indicated on the chart, where they killed another deer. They then went east across the south part of Crown Prince Gustav sea to the south end of Heiberg Land, I then down through Norwegian bay, where they secured some bears, but not until alter they had killed some of their dogs, to the east side of Gra ham Island; then eastward to the lit tle bay marked "Bid's Fiord" on Sver drup's chart; then southwest to Hell's Gate and Simmon's peninsula. Here for the first time during the entire journey, except as already noted off Cape Thomas H. Hubbard, they encountered open water. On this point the boys were clear, emphatic, and unshakable. They spent a good deal of time In this region, and flnnlly abandoned their dogs and one sledge, took to their boat, crossed Hell's Gate to North Kent, up Into Norfolk Inlet, then back along the north coast of Colin Archer Peninsula to Cape Vera, where they obtained fresh eider duck eggs. Here they cut the remaining sledge off, that is shortened it, as it was awkward to transport with tbe boat, and near here they killed a wal rus. From Cape Vera they went on down into the southwest angle of Jones Sound, where they killed a seal; thence east along the south coast of the sound, killing three bears at the point noted on the map, to the penin sula known as Cape Sparbo on the map, about midway on the south side of Jones Sound. Here they killed some musk-oxen and, continuing east, killed four more at the place Indi cated on the chart, and were finally stopped by the pack Ice at the mouth of Jones Sound. From here they turned back to Cape Sparbo, where they wintered and killed many musk oxen. After the sun returned In 1909 they started, pushing their sledge, across Jones Sound to ('ape Tennyson; thence along the coast to Clarence Head; (pusoing inside of two small islands not shown on the chart, but drawn on it by the boys), where they killed a bear; thence across the broad bight, in the coast to Cadogan Fiord; thence around Cape Isabella and up to Com mander Peary's old house in Payer Harbor near Cape Sabine, where they found a seal cached for them by Pan Ikpah, 1-took-a-shoo's father. From here they crossed Smith Sound on the ltuiT-ai-rlv.ing at Anoratok (Signed) It K I'EARY, U. 8. N. BOHKKT A. HAUTI.ETT, MiiHter S. 8. Roosevelt. D B M'MILLAN, GEORC3E BORUP, MATTHEW A. HENSON.

That, with the completing of the raP road to the Popper River country, AlasKa, will take Its placp as one ol the world's greatest copper-producing countries, and that J. P.

Nevada, is that the copper camp Is to have a smelter within easy reach and It Is tc be in operation by next April. It is to be a 25-ton plant, at the start, and the mines of Yerlngton will have a freight rate of not to exceed $1 a ton for conveying their ores to the reduc tlen plant.
