Henson person ally assisted in raising the American lag , nnd he led the Eskimo In the cheering nnd gave an extrn cheer for old glory in the Eskimo tongue , having spent eighteen years with Commander Peary , nnd a considerable portion of that time in the arctics , " said Henson , , "I have acquired a knowledge of the ' dialect of the northern Greenland . o klmos , who probably are superior to . any other. As Is commonly known to travelers in the far north , the esklmo entertains a strange prejudice toward any foreigners but one , and that Is therefore necessary for successful dealing with them to study their unwritten - written language. "Wo arrived at the pole Just before noon April G , the party consisting of the commander , myself , four esklmos and thirty-six dogs divided Into two detachments in number nnd headed respectively by Commomler Pcnry : nnd myself. Wo had left the last t shipping party nt 87 degrees 53 min utes where we parted from Cnpt.

"I kept a personal diary during this historic dash across the ice field. "Henson , who reached the farthest north with Peary three years ago said that conditions were about the i I same at the polo as elsewhere In the 11 arctic circles. All was n solid sea of Ice with a two foot lead of open water two miles from the polo.

Editor News : In your paper of September 13 we notice the report of a ball game between the Dallas and Gregory teams at Gregory , and also notice the incor rectness of the report. ThT reporter claims that Dallas tried to hide a ball and . such as that. Now , as n matter of fact , the Dallas team has never offered any , excuses for defeat or ever belit tled any of Gregory's players , and as long ' as wo play ball wo will give the game credit as well as the player whenever they deserve it. Dallas teams have always played ball , to win and do not need any help from umpires to get It or to trickery , ns Gregory would have you believe. Every visiting team has left Dallas with the best kind of treatment and we hope Gregory can say as much. Wo honestly hope they will give the games the right kind of reports and not try to make fans believe their neighbors are not posted on the na tlonal game. A Dallas Fan. A Slaughter Sale. Herrlck Press : Cliet Slaughter came down from Dallas In his Bulck nuto for a visit with his brothers , Sol and Jim , at this place Monday. Sol had an animal ho called a race horse , but most people heieabouts thought him a cross between a telegraph polo and a giraffe kind of a soft soap , small pox complexloned Individual with n pac ing record of 2:20 : , more or less , that ho had been trying to stick off onto some one for months past. Chct had an automobile , n Bulck , of course it was no common Bulck , but the only best Bulck ever made. When Greek meets Greek , who's going to hold the sack ? Chct got the animal , Sol got the auto and the riddle Is , who got "skun ? " When a Slaughter can't find someone to swap with ho gets dyspeptic , loses his appetite , withers up nnd blows away. Hence as an antidote to such conditions , when the general public gets slow nnd there's nothing doing the Slaughter brothers Just swap around among themselves nnd they nl keep right on making money every swap.
