the city officials
8 The working men of Kansas
are for the most part the best fed
best clothed and best paid working
men in the world largely on account
of the prohibitory law

overwhelmingly in favor of the law
Out of S05 papers published in the
state only 15 ever print any liquor

dress which I gave to the English
people Charles M Sheldon
The Kansas State Prohibitory Law
went into effect May 1881 For over
20 years the people of a state 400
miles long and 200 miles wide have
lived under a law which makes it a
felony to manufacture and sell in
toxicating liquor as a beverage
The result of this law may be sum
med up as follows
1 Prohibition is a success over
the entire state That is the law is
as well enforced and obeyed in five
sixths of the state as any other law
2 Any liquor business in the
state is criminal and is so regarded
by the people The liquor dealer has
no social religious or political stand
ing in the community
3 When the law was passed the
brewers brought suit against the
state to recover compensation In
a test case they lost their suit and
he United States Supreme Court dp
claiad them not entitled to recover
damages and they never received a
penny
4 Prohibition has reduced paup
erism to a minimum Kansas has
fewer than 1500 paupers to a popu
lation of 1600000 Eighty seven
out of a total of 105 counties have no
paupers It costs less than 150000 a
year to care for the destitute people
of the state
5 Crime has decreased more
than one half under prohibition
Thirty five county jails in the state
are entirely empty Stealing has de
creased one half In many counties
whole months go by without a sin
gle case in the criminal courts
6 The law has educated the
young people to regard with aversion
the social habit of drinking It is
not considered reputable to drink
even moderately Drunkenness itself
is rare A drunken woman in the
streets of Topekaa city of 50000
people would be a sight so unusual
that business would be suspended to
look at her
Without Thi3 System the Explorer
Says It Would Be a Physical Im
possibility For Any Man to Reach the
Pole and Return to Tell the Tale
Alany persons who have asked why
if Peary got to the pole it was impos
sible for Cook to do so will lind an
answer in Commauder Pearys own
story in Hamptons Although he does i
not mention Dr Cook by name Peary
shows how impossible it would be for
a man wuuouc uis equipment anu sys
tem to surmount the difficulties of
such a journey He says
Fortitude and endurance alone are
not enough in themselves to carry a
man to the north pole Only with 1
years of experience in traveling those
regions ouly with the aid of a large
party also experienced in that charac
ter of work only with the knowledge
of arctic detail and the equipment
necessary to prepare himself and his
party for any and every emergency
is it possible for a man to reach that
long sought goal and return
In order that the reader may un
derstand this journey over the ice of
the polar sea it is necessary that the
theory and practice of pioneer and
supporting parties should be fully un
derstood
The use of relay parties in arctic
work is not new but the idea was
carried further in the last expedition
of the Peary Arctic club than ever
before
Without this system it would be a
physical impossibility for any mail to
reach the north pole and return to tell
the tale
First Because a single division
comprising either a small or a large
number of men and dogs could not
possibly drag all the way to the pole
and back some UOO miles as much
fond and liquid fuel as the men and
dogs ot that division would consume
during the many weeks of the journey
Second It Is absolutely necessary
that the arduous work of trail break
ing for the first two thirds of the dis
tance should be done by one division
after another in succession in order
to save the strength of the main party
for its final dash alone
Third When the supplies of one
sledge after another have been con
sumed the drivers of these sledges and
the dogs are superfluous mouths which
cannot be fed from the scanty supply
of provisions being dragged forward
over the ice
Fourth Each division being an in
dependent unit these divisions can be
withdrawn at intervals from the main
party without affecting the main party
Fifth At the very end when the
supporting parties have performed
their important work of trail breaking
and transportation of supplies the
main party for the final dash must be
small and carefully selected as a small
party can travel so much faster than
a large one
The pioneer party was one unit

C40D SAVE THE PEOPLE
the best dog teams that could be se-
lected from the entire pack When
we started from Cape Columbia this
pioneer party headed by Bartlett went
out twenty four hours in advance of
the main party Later on when we
reached the time of continuous day-
light and sunlight through the twenty j
four hours the pioneer party was but
twelve hours in auvance or me mum
party
The duty of this pioneer party was
to make a march in every twenty four j
hours in spite of every obstacle ex
cepting of course some impassable
lead Whether there was a deep snow
or violent winds to be faced or moun
tainous pressure ridges to be climbed
over the march of the pioneer party
must be made for past experience had
proved that whatever distance was
covered by the advance party with its
light sledges could be covered in less
time by the main party even with
heavily loaded sledges because the
main party having the trail to follow
was not obliged to waste time in recon
noiterinir
In other words the pioneer party
was the pacemaker of the expedition
and whatever distance it made was
the measure of accomplishment for
the main party The leader of the
pioneer party in the first instauce
Bartlett would start out ahead or ns
division usually of the snowshoes
Then the light sledges of the party
would follow after Thus the leader
of the pioneer division was pioneering
ahead of his own party and that
whole division was pioneering ahead
of the main party
Oue great advantage which I had
on this expedition was that owing to
the size ot my party whenever the
men in this pioneer division became
exhausted with their arduous labor
and lack of sleep I could withdraw
them into the main parry and send
out a fresh division to take their place
A large party is absolutely necessary
to success

THE ALBATROSS
The Largest Sea Bird Having the Pow
er of Flight
The albatross that wauderer of the
seas so otten referred to In prose and
poem Is nevertheless u stranger to the
uverage person and by some Is even
considered n myth In Coleridges
The Rime of the Ancient Alnriner
the albatross plays a leading part and
one sorrows for the poor bird which
after following the ship for weeks Is
pitilessly shot down by a mariner
The albatross Is the largest sea bird
having the power of flight and Is
closely allied to the gull petrel and
Mother Careys chicken It has a
tremendous stretch of wing averaging
from ten to twelve feet The wings
are however extremely narrow being
nbout nine Inches in breadth The
body Is about four feet in length and
the weight is from fifteen to eighteen
pounds a comparatively light weight
when one considers the extreme length
of wing The albatross is possessed
of a peculiarly long oddly shaped bill
which gives it u strange appearance
The nostrils open from round hori
zontal tubes on each side of the bill
but at its base
This great bird is generally met with
in southern seas although It Is occa
sionally seen on our PacIUc coast On
the Atlantic side it is rarely found as
far north as Tampa bay
Its food consists of cuttlefish jelly
fish and scraps thrown from passing
ships It is a greedy bird and at
times gorges itself to such an extent
that It Is unable to rise from the wa
ter
Its power of flight Is however the
most remarkable thing about the al
batross It spends its life with the
exception of a few weeks given each
year to nesting entirely at sea and Is
on the wing practically all the time
Furthermore It does not progress by
flapping its wings cs most birds do
but seems to soar at will rarely it
ever giving a stroke of the wing seem
ing to need no impetus St Nicholas
PAINTING THE WORLD
Indian Legend of the Way Spring
Came Into Existence
Once long before there were men in
the world all the earth was covered
with snow and ice
White and frozen lay the rivers and
the seas white and frozen lay the
plains The mountains stood tall and
dead like ghosts In white gowns
There was no color except white in all
the world except in the sky and it was
almost black At night the stars look
ed through it like angry eyes
Then God sent the Sprjng down into
the world the Spring with rod lips and
curling yellow hair
In his arms he bore sprays of apple
blossoms and the first flowers crocus
anemones and violets red pink blue
purple violet and yellow
The first animal to greet the Spring
was the white rabbit The Spring
dropped a red crocus on bis head and
ever since then all white rabbits have
had red eyes
Then the Spring dropped a blue vio
let on a white bird the first bird to
greet the Spring and that is the way
the bluebird was made Ever since
then it is the first bird to arrive when
the Spring comes down from heaven
So the Spring went through the
world Wherever he tossed the leaves
from his fragrant burden the earth
became green lie tossed the blossoms
on the frozen seas and the ice melted
and the fish became painted with all
the tint of his flowers That is the
way the trout and the minnows and
the salmon became gaudy
Only the high mountains would not
bow to the Spring So their summiLs
remain white and dead for they would
let the Spring paint only the sides
The snow owls and the white geese
and the polar bears fled from the
Spring so they too remain white to
this day
Curious Tombstone
On a gravestone in the parish
churchyard ot Great Yarmouth Eng
land there is sculptured the unusual
representation of a clown seated in a
tub which is being drawn down a riv
er by two swans Beneath this stone
lies one of the many victims who were
drowned years ago by the collapse of
an iron suspension bridge on which
they had crowded to see a clown pass
underneath in the manner described
The feat which was a novel torm of
advertisement by a traveling circus
was actually performed but the rush
of people from one side of the bridge
to the other after the man had passed
under caused the tragic ending
More Acceptable
The judge frowned down on the hu
morous tramp
At first I was disposed to give you
a year and a quarter said the former
In stern tones but now I think Ill
drop the quarter and give you a year
The humorous tramp looked up
