The news that Dr. Cook was not on the steamer Sobo, leaving the Ber- mudas for Halifax, calls to mind the fact that for three long months he has not been in one spot at which the nswspaper sleuths have located him and we have no tangible evidence that he is on the earth, although mo notice of his demise or fumeral has been re- celved, This again marks Dr. Cook as & man of more than ordinary cali- bre. It really takes a genius to lose bhimself in this world of ours these days of telephones, wireless telegraph end well-organized sleuths; and there are no detectives which excel the newspaper reporters for their ability to find clues or to run them to a fin- - §sh. This old world is criss-crossed ith wires and alive with man-hunt- ers—there are few parts of civilization that cannot be reached between sun snd sun—not a part of the ocean with- in 1,000 miles -of the coast line that cannot be scoured by wireless in a day, and Dr. Cook is lost so effectually that the Richmond (Va.) Times-Des- pateh feels sure that he must have thrgwn a 60-foot line into the air and clumb it and then drawn the rope up after him. In other words, he has found refuge in the celestial attic, He appears to have as effectually lost himgelf as he lost the public. TME POSTAL BANK SCHEME. There is Intense opposition to the bank scheme and there is no édoubt that any measure which makes a1l the postoffices of the country de- pesitories for savings would be in- deed s mistake. Thers are sections of the eountry where these banks may be neafled. It hes deen declared by those favor- ing this banking scheme that there are only two savings banks in the state of Wisconsin. Minnesota, was reported as having only fourteen sav- ings bampks, and Indiana but five. The originaj argument in favor of the pos- tal sawlngs bank was based on this essumpiion. But George E. Roberts, & westgrn man, asserted recently to & westgrn banking audience, which was donbtless in a position to check him up if he was in error, that all the stajes referred to had banks in even their small towns, which receive deposits and pay a higher rate of in- terest then the postal bank proposed could poy. He adds that it is a total misconegption of the situation to sup- pose tha any important section of this country §s lacking in banks with which small dgpositors may do. business. It is epparent enough that there should pot be too great haste made in incurping & great expense in estab- lishing @ system of banking which Is not neefled and is not likely to meet its expenses. THE FARMER’S BULLETINS. ‘We hawe taken occasion to refer to the exceilence of the bulleting being issued t» the agriculturists of the country (fom the department at Wash- ington, gnd they are to be obtained through the kindly offices of the rep- resentative in congress from this dis- triet. The lagtest issue of the department is a pamphlet entitled “Boys and Girls’ Agricultural Clubs.” The for- mation ef these associations is ex- plained gnd something is told of the results qdtained with the few organ- izations thus far promoted. It is said: “The members of such clubs have t®en led to observe more closely, to rgdognizo good and bad qualities in the prodicts they have grown, and in the fmseots, fungi, and other various sendRiong affecting their work. They Bave taet and learned to solve some les¢ In the improvement of slants, Lwilts, animals and housework. They have learned that improvement @ ene dfgetion is not always, or even @mally, aecompanied by improvement in all divections, They have learned something of the value of labor, the cost of production, and the keeping of simple accounts with different farm and household affairs. They have been encouraged to read good litera- ture and have learned some of the sources of good agricultural literature. Their views have been broadened by contact with others and by visiting institutions of learning, highly devel- oped farms and other places of inter- est. And finally, the power of taking the Initiative has In many cases been strongly developed In them as indi- vidual and responsible members of the community.” The - government is rendering effi- cient and inspiring aid in the making of farmers who will be a credit to themselves and to the country. New England should not be slow in adopt- ing modern methods. REAR ADMIRAL PEARY. A quarter of a century of service in | Um maintained by the the Arctic regions and the important geographical and scientific discover: of Commander Robert E. Peary entitle him to the _prompt recognition and| the sale of the liquor, and th i which congress appears to | meit on the part of th | selves in fav be ed to give him. Tt can be said for a truth that noe living explor- er has ever accomplished more for the enlightenment of the nations at the Arctic regions than he and there is no reason why well-earned honors should be withheld from him. When he holds & rear admiral's commission, let us hope that he may never display such lack of dignity and self-control as he did when it looked as if the honor of being the first discoverer of the North pole had been wrested from him, He certainly lowered himself in the esti- mation of his friends and made friends for Dr. Cook instead of himself. It must be admitted that the aggrava- tion was exireme and called for sharp language te do the situation justice, ®ut it .did@ not require billingsgate, Commander Peary and his friends are pleased, and 8o are the peopls. The American peeple always want a de- serving man to get all that is his due.

Even more savage are The Gazette’s remarks about the honorable senate, which passed the bill, and to which this Alexandria paper extends the following flerce alternative: “It Is said, in ex- cuse, that the bill was passed without the senators knowing its full purport. If this is true, they are a set of in- competents and cannot intelligently represent their constituents, but if it is not true and they wilfully voted for such a measure, they are knaves, and should be turned out.” And it is discovered that In the assembly there are men moral in-their standards and skilful in the interpre- tation of the law, who see no harm in it and propose to give it their ap- proval. It is certainly to be hoped that as the far west is making divorce: less and less easy, an old state like Virginia is not going to throw down the bars and invite the unfaithful of all states to make that their camping grounds until their marital relations are broken up. The country needs befter, not ‘baser, laws with reference te divorce. EDITORIAL NOTES. Happy thought for today: Polite- ness is an asset that any yeung man can surely bank on. Every boycett is a boost, says the ‘beef barons; but that is net the way the courts look at them. The fact that there are forty-five billion bees in Ohio makes it possible for any one there to have & bee in his bonnet. The Charleston navy yarqd is a bus- iness sort of a place. Even the pink teas appear to have been held for a purpose. The Boston cold-storage plant may have preferred death to an Investiga- tion. Who can teil how cold-storage plants feel. ‘Walter Wellman appears to be try- ing to beat Nicola Tesla in telling what he is going to do; but he is still many lengths behind. We have passed Ash Wednesday, and most of the New Year's resolu- tions are in pigeonholes among the hasbeen jpapers. When The Roosevelt and Captain Bartlett return from the South pole Rear Admiral Peary will be on hand to cheer lustily. It looks now as if Theodore Roose- velt would be given the greatest re- ception at New York next June that was ever given to any man. The farmer who gets his govern- ment garden seeds now is apt to_put them up on a beam where he will not find them until 1911. So it goes. ‘Western speculators are being point- ed to the chance for making money by investing in New England farms and making the most of them. The Golden Rule cook book has in it six hundred recipes for cooking all kinds of provender except meat. It has all the vegetarian substitutes. The beef barons of Chicago speak of the cheaper cuts of meat. Know- ing the business as they do, it is more than likely that they cut all meats. Cactus may be a fine substitute for meat, but here in Connecticut Mr. Bur- bank should know, that dandelion greens still have first claim upon us. ‘The great combination for cheap- ening breakfast foods need not be taken too seriously, for the cheapening has not to do with the cash price, perhaps. A new American princess must feel queer when the sheriff comes into her home and seizes most of the furni- ture for past debts of her noble husband. The Moral Indian. We are so accustomed to think of the law-abiding Indians as abjectly dependent upon the bounty of Uncle Sam, and as deprived of their initia- tive by a paternalistic government, is somewhat surprising to be #told of the earnest assistance they have lately given to the endeavor of the officlals resident upon Indian res- ervations to extirpate gambling and reduce the consumption of ardent spir- its—the besetting sins of the red man_ particularly when he is not given enough to do. It has been reported to the ass ent Indian commissioner that 700 wvajo Indians recently brought to the “white father,” their superintendent, a great collection of gambling parapher- nalia, of all sorts, of their own vol tion surrendering the mnecessary ma terfals for the engrossing pastime. {These have been sent to Washimgton apd placed on exhibition with the enor- ‘mous collection of relics and trophies of a fast-perishing race at the muse- hdian bureau.

Al Cook was a traveling man and, as he explained to his new neighbors, it was easier for him to make Three Pines than almost any other small town, and he didn't like to live in a large city. He rented the old Gabor house and fixed it up with a little carpentering and paint and good judg- ment until it was really most attract- ive inside. Outside it still remained a rather weather-beaten, ordinary-look- ing brown little structure. Mrs. Cook was a godsend to the town. A particularly brilliant comet, the queen of England and the presi- dent’s wife combined could not have afforded more interest to the people than she did. She was small and daintily formed, and although the sew- ing circle vowed that she must be all of 30, in spite of looking 16, she was appealingly childlike in her demeanor.

She wore patent leather shoes in the morning when she went marketing, gvsn her wash dresses looked expen- ve.

The filrl' even has to make up her bed for er!”™ Yet, failing as she did 40 measure up to Three Pines standards of a sen. sible woman, péople couldn’t help k- ing Mrs. Cook. “That Al Cook,” said Ben Sprankle, who ran the feed store, to his wife, s plumb crazy over Mrs. Cook. Y'ought-a hear him talk when he’s in town! You'd think there wasn't en- other woman like her on earth. He thinks she’s the smartest creature go- ing! Says he turns his salary check over to her every month!” “Huh!” commented Mrs. Sprankie. “An’ she spends it all on clothes!” Al Cook certainly was good to his wife. He worked hard and was at home only a few days at a time and he denied her nothing. He did not seem to care for anything himself and he wore his suit a long time. Always he beamed if his wife was mentioned in his presence and people forgave his rabid boasting about her because they recognized the genuineness of his af- fection. His appreciation of what was his extended to his house also. “3ot the finest place in town,” they heard Cook tell a visiting traveling man. “Come .on up =and see if 1 haven't! I tell you, nothing too good for Abbie! She’s the best ever!” That phrase became a stock joke in Three Pines. She did not have much company. the offender’s head, and over this is drawn much of her own hair and more of some other person’s who has no fur- ther use for it. This is elaborately puffed and otherwise aggravated, decked with pins and combs, and serv- ed as a piece de resistance. Resistance, indeed, seems to be use- less. The head is in front of you, and when you move your head to get a view of the proceedings, the .head moves too, keeping always in the line of vision. You crane your neck, and the structure in_front of you rises the same instant. Your case is hopeless. —New York Times, Imi rants Know. When 68,711 immigrants enter the United States in the month of Decem- ber, always one of the least favorable of the year for the inflow of population from Europe,there can be no question that in spite of higlhr prices ané not- wthstanding all other unfavorable con- ditions which can be instanced in Am- erica, the chances for comfort and ad- | vancement for the poor man are bet- ter here than they are in any other part of the world. If it were not so the stream of immigrants would be di- verted more largely to other lands. There are plenty of European wage eainers in South America, Australia and Canada to test the conditions in those countries and make reports to their former neighbors and their kins- folk in the Old World. Wherever such news of industrial and trade conditions and the general well being—or the op- posite—of the masses is gathered it is information weighed and gauged from the point of view of the artisan and the laborer.

Quail Becoming Tame in Indiana. Quails are becoming very tame in Brown county and are staying in the barnyards of farmers. Several coveys have come to the yards of town resi- dences. The deep, frozen snow makes it imposeible for the birds to get food. Farmers are feeding the birds, which have become so well acquainted with the eating places that they come every day to the barnyards. Thelr food is placed on boards out of the snow and the farmer stands and watches them eat. Some of the birds have been The Health Dept.
