Cum unto tier Peary turn made {tub
tic hi* indictment of Dr. Cook and
•ubmlitod hi* evidence to a Jury oi
Amorlcau people, Tho verdict will
bo to discredit Poary. His state
moot, together with a map drawu
by Peary on alleged Information re
celved from tbe Eskimo* who ac
coni panted Cook to the north pole
Is the evidence offered to convict
Cook. It will he remembered that
when Peary first reached a point
where ho could communicate with
tho civilised world he declared that
he bad reached the pole, and made
the positive statement that Cook had
not. His assertions, as he proves by
the evidence which he submits, were
based on the answers of Cwo ignor
ant Eskimo companions who were
under promise to Hr. Cook to not
divulge the story of the trip to Peary
or any other person. These Innocent
sons of the north have no scientific
knowledge of distance or locations—
no Idea of geography, aaide from in
•tlnctlveiy knowing directions—and
tho map which Paary submits, to
gether with the aueetioa* propound
ed to theee people, show a determined
effort to discredit Or. Cook, asd
there Is n<# evidence of a positive
nature to show that ha did not reach
the pole. Commander Paary has
placed himself In the unenviable po
sition of the late Admiral bempsou
following the battle off the Cuban
coast whan Admiral Schley did the
actual work. His ekarges lack the
essentials of truth and smack too
much of a desire for personal gain
by discrediting others to be of any
value aa evidence before the Ameri
can people, it looks as though
Peary and his arctic club backers
are In vary smalt business, and if
Paary haa nothing more on which to
prove hie case ha has made a mis
erable failure.
And now a federal Judge In In

which French Panama canal stock
was purchased for 111,000 000 and

Teheran, Hernia's capital, is one of
the least Interesting cities of that au
clcnt land. The bouses are mesa, the
streets narrow end dirty, and even the
palace of the shah Is far from being
a thing of beauty. It has no history
worth mentioning snd Is only redtem
ed by the birth of Harouo-et-itaechid
te s neighboring village. Its impor
tance comes from tbe presence of tbe
eoort, but It undergoes a sad decadence
fa summer, when the unbeatthfoi cli
mate drives the greater part of tbs
population to more sanitary places
Ispahan, th* former capital of Per
sia, Is far different That city was
coca girdled by a wall of twenty-four
tnlteo, sad ghab Abbas In tbe sixteenth
c entur y loaded It with magnificence.
It contains splendid mosques and an
cient palaces which appeal to tbe Im
agination. But Ispahan, too, has fallen
upon evil days.
"Houses, bazaars, mosques, palaces,
dhole streets'' writes e traveler of s
few years ago. "are to be seen In to
tal abandonment and one may ride for
miles without meeting with s single
living mature except perhaps s soli
tary Jacks) looking over a mall or a
fog running to his bole."
The Smithy Settled It.
One of the candidates at so English
election was announced to address a
meeting In a Yorkshire village well
known to horse dealers and breeders
as the center of a district noted for Its
hackneys and roadsters. Tbe candi
date was an eloquent speaker, but for
seat# reason or other be fatted to
nuke any great Impression on tbe
horse loving farmers. However, the
local blacksmith cams to tbe rescue by
summing up tbe respective merits of
the rlvil candidates In tbe following
laconic little speech:
"Friends, this feller"—tbe candidate
—"rides a 'oat. T'other feller rides a
mortycar. You breeds osses, an' 1
shoes 'em. so wot Is tbcer to argy
a boo*?"
1a each s district aud before such an
audience the brier, businesslike speech
of the blacksmith was not without sf
feet, for It touched the pockets as well
SS the hearts of those present- -Lon
Peinon In tbe Middle Ages.
In the middle ages so little was
known of toxicology that all sudden
and mysterious deaths were attribut
ed to poison, but lo tbe light of mod
ora knowledge many of these, aaya the
British Medical Journal, are now ess
Uy explained by sucb diseases as ap
pendicitis and gastric ulcer. Even tbe
Borgia* can be absolved from many
of tbe potaontnga laid to their charge
Nevertheless from early times In Italy
poison wee a favorite means of ''re
moving" an enemy. In England.
France and Germany cruder methods
of vengeance prevailed, and It was not
until tba sixteenth century that tbe
M edict Introduced poisoning into
France. Tbs fashion spread with ter

THE INDIANS PAID.
What the White Men Chnrged Them
Far Killing On* Dee key.
In "Reminiscences of Old Times la
T enne ss ee " a story 1* toM of tbe good
faith sod honor of a party of Cblcka
saw Indiana. While bunting on* fall
they shot a donkey, mistaking tbe
creature for a wild animat. They sold
the hide, and it finally cam* to the
bend* of John Bernes la Upton.
When tbe Cblckaeaws returned to
the region of Upton for their annual
hunt tbe next rail Bernes Invited them
to a shooting match, th* pris* to be
tbe sklw of a very rare animal.
Thirty braves appeared at th* con
test, and on* of thorn won the prise.
When he saw the akin ha turned It
over and said: "Ha, hit Ms UU him!
Ms shoot him! gee!" And be pointed
to tbe fatal bullet bole.
Then Barnes told them that they bad
killed a donkey, a very useful animal,
but be was aura that they had done it
by mistake, believing It to be a wild
animal.
The Indiana listened attentively to
tbe white man's words and then con
sulted together a few minutes. Finally
they separated, each brave going to bin
pony, unhitching him and leading him
to the spot where a gang of white men
stood. Barnes In th# midst of them.
Then one of tbe Indians spoke:
"We sorry we kill donkey. We think
he belong to tbe woods. We And him
In cane. We think him wild. We sor
ry. Now we pay. We take no white
man's boss. pony, nothing of white
man. We honest. Wt have ponies;
that's all. Take pay." And he mo
tioned to the long Una of ponies, held
by their owners.
"How many?" asked Barnes.
"White man aay" returned the In
dian; "take plenty."
Tbe honor of the red men waa .not
equaled by tbe white men, for, be It
recorded to their shame, they took
from the Chickasaw* tbtrty-flve ponies
to pay for the accidental killing of one
donkey.
AN AFRICAN RAILWAY.
The Way It Waa Deaeribe* by an
Educated Native.
C. 3 . Phillips, business agent lu
Uganda of the Church Missionary so
ciety. throw* light upon the workings
of tbe native mind by quoting * re
markable letter to which a native
member of the katlktro'a (prime minis
ter's) party gives a description of the
Uganda railway.
"My frieud, I can tell you the Euro
peans have done a marvelous thing to
make tbe railway and th* trains. They
fasten ten or Afteen houses together
and attach them to a fireplace which
Is as big as an elephant, and tbe road
it goea on Is as smooth aa the stem of
a-plantain, it goes aa fast aa a swal
low flying, and everything you see out
aide flits past yon Ilk* a spark from a
Are. If It were to drop off on* of the
bridges not on* lu It would be raved,
for it goea dreadfully quick. Tbe bills
it passes are as Ulgb as those of Kokl,
and tbey have bridged over great val
leys which are a* deep as that yob see
when you look from tbe top of Naml
rembo, ao dsep that you cannot aee the
bottom when you are going over them."
Later there follows a description of
a ship: "It la aa deep as our two sto
ried house aud as wide as the king's
road In Mengo, and It la as long aa
from the katlktro'a fence t 0 the gate
of the king's Inclosure. It has three
tall poles te It and a big tbroat, out of
which smoke comes, which Is aa wide
a* tbe new dram te tba church at Na
mlrembo. The room* In It go down
three stories, and the boards of these
I cannot describe to you, for sucb bare
not been seen before. There Is a lot
of metal work about them, too. but
these also I cannot describe, for It Is
so fine. There aw children on board
and a flock of sheep and places to
wash In attached to every place where
a chief sleeps, such as even our king
haa never possessed ."-London Strand

Th* words folio, quarto, octavo, duo

Thus If these sheets were folded once
so ns to form two leaves or four page*
the book waa called a folio; If th*

A Little Talk to Advertisers
Our Adv. Man
WHERE INCHES COUNT
A seven foot man attracts attention because of tho aovonth foot, not]
because of tho first six foot. Without this oxtra twelve inches ho would be|
only an ordinary mortal.
Tho merchant who keeps his advertising down to tho same loval as]
others gets no more attention than they. He holds his own, but ho doesn't]
progress.
It is tho additional effort—tho additional expenditure that counts more]
than the original sum, and brings him into prosperous prominence.
If you desire to attract attention and bring people to your store get in-]
to tho columns of tho Evening Press with an advertisement.
It is not an experiment, it is a straightforward business proposition |
and a mighty profitable one for all in business.
You cannot make a house to house canvas of all possible customers of 1
Coour d'Alene and vicinity, but an adv. in tho Press will roach tho greater]
majority of people that are tho most desirable.
We shall be glad to come and talk the matter over with you at any I
time. Bettor got in on tho ground floor before holiday time comes.
