DR. He Is Awkward and Has al Tooth Out in Front, but, His Words Carry Con- viction of Discovery. BY CHAS. P. STEWART. COPENHAGEN, Denmark, Sept 4—Dr. Frederick Cook, who says he reached, and who probably did reach, the north pole, is as homely | a man as anyone would be likely | to meet on‘a month's travel | | Take the pictures that were pub: lished of him the day following the | famous dispateh sent by Ot Shorsen of the Hans Egede from the Shetland nds, announcing Dr. Cook's disc ry. These pictures show h tall, acholarly-appearing man, whose| neat Van Dyke adds to his elegance | and quiet dig ty | But the real Dr. Cook is much | different. Of less than ordinary | height, he is not exact , but | very bre nd 4 He wore his air le and % abby, : hen he landed In hour nis cut, t beard T and hie kbroc lik ellow mustach trimmed the doct ® face 4 broad and flat, with a pro- under lip. Looks Like Eskimo. | In fact, he wouldn't make a bad-| looking Eskimo, except tt he is er too big and considerably cleaner than most natives of the arctic zone One of his teeth, pretty well toward the front, is missing and the slight droop of the tower lip and the stubbiness of the mustact behind whic lost incisor ought the hole show up like » in a fog. Cook wears a kind of a set most of the time, but it is happy smile, Rather the of a man who sm in de fiance of gloomy thoughts Probably what his smile is. On his lonely, desperate hunt for the pole and on his return when he was not certain wh 7 he would ever get back, Dr. Cook must have had hours and days of thought that leave scars on & man’s spirit. He did not give v to them, of course, or he would not have been the stuff that suc cessful explorers are made of But imagine the kind of set smile a man who had been through this would wear when he tries to look cheerful and happy—and you have the Cook smile.
