We covered the remain- ing 14 seconds and made a few final ob- servations. \I told Etkashook and Ahwelshu (the accompanying Eskimos) that we had reached the 'great nail. 1 Every- where we turned was south. With a single step we could pass from one side of the earth to the other; from midday to midnight. \At last the flag floated to the breezes ut the pole. It was April 21, 1908. The temperature was minus 38 centrigrade, barometer 29.83, latitude 90; as for the longitude it was nothing, as it was but a word. \Although crazy with joy our spirits began to undergo a feeling of weari- ness. Next day, after taking all our observations, a sentiment of intense solitude penetrated us while we looked at the horizon. Was it possible that this desolate region,without a patch of earth, had aroused the ambition of so many men for so many centuries! There as no ground, only an immensity of dazzling white snow, no living being, no point to break the frightful monot- ony. \On April 23d we started on our re- turn.\ THE GREAT EXPLORER.

The long night was relieved hours of daylight. The winter was felt at its His Reception at Copenhagen, Den- mark—Dr. Cook Meets King King and Queen. After his presentation to the king, who was deeply interested, the queen entered the chamber to talk with Dr. Cook. When the audience was over Mr. Egan took the explorer in his auto- mobile to the residence of the crown prnce, whose wife, the Princess Marie, was so interested that sTie insisted upon this extra item in the program- me. She plied the doctor with ques- tions which Mr. Egan says he thought would never end. The interview had to be cut short, for Dr. Cook was already overdue at the Phoertix hotel, where he was scheduled to give an interview to journalists from all over Europe and America. They were waiting for him in a body. They followed him into a large room, where they placed him in an arm chair at the end of a table. The room was filled in a twinkling. What space the reporters left was filled with the gen- eral public, men and women, who crowded the room to the doors. The meeting rapidly resolved itself j into a court of inquiry in which Dr. erick A. Cook, of Brooklyn, was being dined and lionized by royallty for the same achievement. Undeniably Yankee grit has con- quered the frozen north and there has been created a coincidence such as the world will never see again. Two Americans have planted the flag of their country in the land of ice which man has sought to penetrate for four centuries; and each ignorant of the other's conquest has flashed, with- in a period of five days, a laconic mes- sage of success to the waiting world.

With four me?, arid 40 dotjs moving supplies for ; *'i days, the crossing of the circum- polar pack was begun. Three days later two other Eskimos, foruinic the last supporting party, re- tur'.«\! and the trials had now been re- dit ed by the survival of the fittest. Tiic best two men and 26 dogs were picked for the final etTort. \There before us in an unknown line of li'i miles lay our goal. The first days proved long marches and We made e:i •ountyins: progress. A big lead which ; si-;.;i>:\iecl - the land from the ice of the ; c.:tial pack was crossed with little! cMay. The low temperature was per-'; s;s?t.r.t and the winds made life a tor- ture. Hut. cooped up in our snow house.-, eating dried beef, tallow and chinking hot tea there were some ani- ir.al comfort occasionally to be gained. \For several days after the sight of k-iown land was lost the overcast sky prevented an accurate determination of o ilr position. ' \< >:i March 30th the horizon was party cleaved and new land was discovered. Or observations gave our position as latitude 84.47, longitude 86.36. There was urgent need of rapid advance. Ou£_rnain mission did not permit a de- tourfof tfie purpose of exploring'thef coast. \Here were seen the last signs of s»uid earth; beyond, there was nothing stable to be seen. We advancedstead- i'y over the monotony of moving sea !'.-•• and now found ourselves beyond the ran^'e of all life—neither footprints of bt-ar.-; nor the blow-holea of seals were detected. Even the microscopic feat- ures of the deep were no longer under u-. The maddening influence of the shifting-desert of frost became almost unendurable in the daily routine. \The surface of the pack offered less and less trouble and the weather im- proved, but there still remained the life-sapping wind which drove despair to its lowest recess. The extreme cold compelled physical action. Thus, day after day our weary legs spread over big distances. Incidents and positions were recorded, but adventure was promptly forgotten in the next day's efforts. \The night of April 7th was made notable by the swinging of the sun a t midnight over the northern ice. Sun- burns ami frost bites now were record- '•'I on the same day, but the double 'lay's glitter infused quite an incentive it.to one's life of shivers. \Our observation on April 6th placed the camp in^ latitude 86.36. longitude J 1.2. in spite of what seemed long marches we advanced but little over a hundred miles. Much of our work was lost in circuitous twists around trouble some pressure lines and high irregular IN Ids. A very old ice drift, too, was driving eastward with sufficient force to give some anxiety. \Although still equal to about 50 miles daily, the extended marches and ui\ long hours for traveling with whichjortune. favored us earlier-were- ':«) longer possible. lu \ We were now about\200 miles from I' )U' and sledge loads were reduced. after another went into the M.»macuf!s ( of the hungry survivors \nu! the teams were considerably diminished j n number, but there *[•••• T>d to remain a sufficient balance •'T •••an and brute to push along into the dock. As the first spokesman said: \The world is now divided into Cook- ites and anti-Cookites, we want you to give proof to justify our faith.\ Dr. Cook accepted his position with the utmost good humor. Speaking to the newspaper men as to a jury he said: \I love the polar regions. I am not working for money. Why should I sit down and invent a false account of my discovery?\ At the banquet in Dr. Cook's honor last night 600 representatives of the highest and best official and civil life in Copenhaegn were present. Many ladies were in attendance. Everyone says Dr. Cook paid $5 for a ticket. At least 75 Americans attended. No member of the royal family was pres- ent. Minister of Commerce Hansen in _ ropo8ing__the health of Dr. Cook, i spoke unreservedly of the discovery of the pole. This was the note of all the ; speakers. There was no hypothesis. The discovery was absolutely accepted. When Dr. Cook arose* to respond there was an outburst of cheers which lasted three or four minutes. People stood on their chairs and waved their handkerchiefs. It seemed the enthu- iasm could not touch a higher pitch, but it did when the band struck up \The Star Spangled Banner.\ Dr. Cook took the demonstration in a matter of fact ( way, but he was evi- dently much moved. He said: \Ladies and Gentlemen: I appreci- ate very keenly the warm welcome and the kindly and eloquent sentiments of which T have been the recipient to- night. I find myself utterly .unable to think of words in which to express my- self. It has been rather a hard day for me, but I never enjoyed a day better. , I Dane* Stlent Partner* in Expeditions. I \The Danes have been silent part-. ners in practically all expedition* to! the North Pole, but to-day you have ! not been silent. . The most Important J factor in reaching the pole is the Eski- mo and his dog. It is a system to travel with which the Danes have been familiar for 200 years. Much that we knew has~ been \borrowed rfrom the Danes. The Eskimo is this case are those of the extreme north, the little men of Cape York, for whose uplift the kindly hand of the Danish state is doing so much, for which the*whole world can not be too grateful. \I can only say that if I had not found just the right men, just the right dogs and just the right food in Greenland I should not have reached the pole. Greenland is near America. We are therefore neighbors, and I owe-much: to the Danish state for my success.\ Many enthusiastic speeches were made and toasts offered, including apeechesby the two Eskimos, Ahwe- lah and Elukishuk, who were Dr. Cook's companions in his dash to the pole. - • , , • The talk at all the. tables was of Dr. Cook's unmistakble sincerity. Who- ever remains a skeptic in Denmark, Copenhagen has been completely capti- vated by the explorer. Every one who has seen or heard him believes him. He is hailed as the un- doubted discoverer of the pole, of which he said here this afternoons \I shall not return. Now I shall go to the South Pole.\ from since August, 1908, startled the world by a similar message sent from Indian Harbor, Labrador. There was no qualification; it left no doubt. It announced unequivocally that he had reached the top of the world. Thus two flags with the Stars and Stripes of the United States are float- ing in the ice packs, proving the cour- age of intrepid Americana. BUSH'S LANDING. ?MR9. SOLOMON RENNIB. Correspondent.) —A.

Jt has a radius of five hundred miles of one of the richest agricultural sections of the world. * It is the headquarters of the Ameri- can Woman's League. This i& a society j of less than two years growth and has j already over 700 chapters or lodges dis- tributed all over the United States and at the rate of its growth, will soon rvumbef one hundred thousairdTnembeTs. It does not claim to be a benevolent organization, but an association formed on sound business principles, for the benefit and elevation and profit of all its members As its name indicates, its membership is confined to the ladies, although men can become honorary members. Ten women can organize a local chapter, and when a sufficient number of fully paid members have joined, they can have a nice hall, or chapter house built for them, free of all expense. This Chapter house is built in a manner and shape* to be a credit to any town. It contains a hall, library and kitchen, and is supplied with fine talking machine, or phono- graph, and constant relays of circulat- ing records, suitable for the entertain- ment of members and public gather- ings. The whole thing is on a self support- ing basis with an enlarging income. Be- ( sides the founder, E. G. Lewis endows the society with $2,000,000. Every winter each and every chapter ia sup- plied with a series of the best lecturers to be obtained in the country, with no expense to the local chapter. A big first class university is now building in University City, St. Louis, to consist of a series of six fine build- ings to accommodate .the different de- partments. Everything from kinder- garten to the arts and sciences and useful occupations are to be taught. First by correspondence and lastly by personal attendance at the university. Sufficient employment is provided for university attendants to pay all their expenses while taking their graduation course. The aim is to fit all students for the active duties of life, and make them useful members of society. The school courses are open free to all mem- bers and the minor members of their families. Nor is this all. A home or retreat is to be built for members in old age should they be so unfortunate as to loose all their friends or be reduced to poverty It is to be fitted up with all the necessaries, comforts and even luxuries for making a happy old age. All these things and more come from a once paid up membership. They help you during life. Insurance provides money for thoae you leave behind. Now what does all this cost. Fifty- two dollars in subscriptions to leading papers; such as the Woman's National Daily, The Woman's Magazine, The Farm Journal, Success, The Delineator, Everybodys Magazine, Colliers Weekly, and several others. You simply gather up and send in your $52 in subscrip- tions. You can hot buy a membership, there ie no other way but to furnish the subscriptions. You take as many of the publications yourself or family, as you desire, or give them away to your friends, or induce subscriptions from other people. Subscriptions are largely the foundation of the structure and they furnish millions of dollars and will be largely renewed, year by year. The league member is at no expense except the $52, and that all comes.back to him in the papers and magazines he and his friends receive.
