Off to the Arctic.
Atlanta Journal.
The departure of the Stefansson
expedition from Nome, Alaska, for a
three-year journoy through arctic
lands is an event of rare scientific as
woll as human interest. The purpose
of this enterprise is not so
much that of discovery as of a more
thorough survey than has yet been
made of the natural phenomena and
the people of the polar regions. The
party includes specialists in geoigMMxhl',
zoology, anthropology, nie\^OxiOgy
and other sciences. It is
particularly well equipped for research
in all these fields and will
doubtless bring home many fresh
treasures of knowledge.
The discovery of both the North
and the South pole, far from having
dulled the explorer's or the student's
zest In arctic exploration, has only
heightened it and given It a more
fruitful bent. It has been truly said
that had interest in the Western

John is 12 years old
lives at 829 Victoria street,
i which is on top of the hill about a
i mile from the car line iu Ocean
| View. John has sold gum at Fifth
' and Market streets for several
months. He has one bad leg and
he gets around on crutches.
About the first night that .John
got off the car six months ago, after
an initial experience in selling gum,
he saw a big mounted polcieman
seated on his horse looking at the
. i people get off the cr.r In Ocean View.
. This policeman- was August G. Harry,
and he said to little John:
"Where are you going, my son?"
"Tq the top of the hill over there,"
replied John.
"Whht, on those crutches and up
that dusty, rocky road?"
"Yes. Mr," answered little John,
"I'll give you a lift," said Harry.
Whereupon he swung the frail little
chap to the saddle and thus carried
him to John's very doorstep.
Thereafter night after night
Mounted Policeman Harry waited
for the little cripple boy to get off
the car and every night carried liitu
horseback up the hill to his home,
j Presently an order issued out of
i the chief's office and this order transferred
Mounted Policeman Harry to
I another part of the city. Therefore,
! when Wednesday night came and
John got off the car there was no
i mounted officer to meet him. He
; was obliged to climb up the hill and
he was a very tired boy that night,
i Thursday night came and Friday and
' still no mounted policeman. Then
I little John learned that a Strang

John decided he would find out
why his big friend was sent away.
; He went first to Captain Kelly, who
1 referred him to Chief of Police
White. Yesterday little John appeared
before Chief White in the
, latter's office In the Hall of Justice
He told Chief White all about the
long. dusty, rocky walk up the hill
and about his friend Harry.
"I can not make any more transfers
out there at the present time."
said Chief White gravely, after listening
to the story of the little lame
hoy, "hut I will have this matter attended
to right away."
Then Chief White took up his desk
'phone and asked central to give
him the Ingleside station. "Is this
Captain Kelly?" asked the chief,
while John's eyes grew wide with
attention. "Say, captain, have a
mounted man go to the View at 7
o'clock every night after this and
take little John Murpliy from the
street car up to his home on the hill.
If the hoy is not there at 7 o'clock
have the officer wait for him."
"All right." said Captain Kelly.
A Story of String Bonn-..
Rural New Yorker.
The price of string heans caused
Dr. Samuel E. Earle, Jr.. 14 31 Kinden
avenue, to conduct a little investigation
into the high cost of living
yesterday, and the results of his labor
are interesting. Dr. Earle said
he was beginning to understand why
there had been so much agitation of
this question lately and remarked
that it really was "fierce."
A trucker brought lrt bushels of
string beans to town yesterday to
sell Tie figured out before the sale
that it had cost him 1 f> cents a hushel
to plant, cultivate and harvest the
I crop. With this in mind he began
to get estimates of what lie was goi
ing to get for the load and was some'
what sad when the middleman
agreed to pay 30 coats a bushel and
no more.
Mrs. Earle was then requested to
find the market quotation for the day
and she learned that beans were selling:
at retail for 15 cents a quarter
peek. "Now. why the difference?"
was Dr. Karle's question. Incidently
the farmer let it he known that he
would allow the remainder of the
crop on his farm go to rot before he
will bring it to town to receive such
small prices.
The above from The Baltimore
Sun shows that the grower's dollar
is often a good deal less than the
3 5 cents. And if that grower had
stopped his wagon alongside the
market house and gone to selling his [
beans to consumers for half the*
money they were asking in the stalls, i
the police would have been after j
him quickly for selling without ped- j
dler's license. The city ordinances I

consumer and producer apart.?W.
F. Massey.
This man would have heen legally
justified in selling his own produce
without a license. If he bought and
sold again he could not do so, but a
man has the right to .sell his own
produce anywhere provided he does
not "obstruct traffic." Probably the
police would have had him on some
other charge.

lleing a Gentlewoman. ^
Harper's Ilazar. . w
Most women are ambitious to be
thought women of the world, and it o
is quite amazing how many go di- ti
rectly the wrong way to work. They
are so apt to think that a haughty D
manner, an aloof and uninterested
spirit proves worldllness. Savoi lc
faire, writes a great lady, is after all
nothing else than consideration for hi
others. Long ago Confucius set it hi
down, "It is all one to a gentleman;
few* or many, high or low, a gentle- K
man never slights any man." The n<
truth is unvarying, and the distinguishing
mark of a great lady even &'
today is the power of setting people q<
at their ease, of summoning the best
and most interes * of their qual- 8'
ities to the surface, of making the to
best of every situation and every P>
person she meets. One can hazard es
a very safe guess at the amount of y<
breeding a lady possesses by the
amount of security, ease and gen- !
ialitv she educes from those sur- '
rounding her. I ?
Never dream that things make ele- J
gance. Tennyson entertained the j
Prince of Wales (who called unex-1
, pectedly just as the poet's house- J
hold was moving) on packed goods
boxes, hut apparently the torn up
room and hard seats did not inter- 1
i fere with easy and interesting con- 1
jverse.
* The groat lady if she who makes ;
all who come into her house, from
the scullery maid to the queen, feel ,
at ease and secure and happy ho- ;
cause they know they are In the
house of graciousness and benignity, i
To hurt, to slight, to wound, to make
others uncomfortable betrays crudity
and awkward breeding, and shows i
that one is not to the "manor horn."
Nor does this mean that witty retort
is not justifiable when called for.
Nothing could have been more swift
and graceful than Lady Randolph
Churchill's reply to George Bernard
Shaw, who replied to her lunch Invitation:
"Certainly not. Why
should you try to encroach upon my
well known habits?" She retorted
hv wire immediately: "Know nothing
of your habits. Hope not quite
so had as your manners."
But for ordinary uses nothing so
swiftly proves our citizenship of the
great world as the power of moving
gracefully through the world without
treading on toes or knocking
chips off shoulders.
