DR. COOK "DISCOVERER,”
According to a recent rumor state
ment Dr. F. A. Cook, wno claimed
to have been tne first climber of Me.

clad Alaska, and to have found the
North Pole a year ahead of Comman
dcr Kobt. Peary, is now in Europe get
ting ready for another polar da*n next
year to prove that he got there rlr*t.
If Dr. Cook was, or I*, a fraud and a
faker lie is not the lirst, as this aoue-
metit from the Pittsburg—Gazette
Time* shows.
Those who gate credence to the
claim of Dr. Cook to have reached the
North Pole need not be disconcerted
by the verdict that hi* claim K un
founded, or tho gleeful self-satisfac
tion of tho people who denounced him
from the llr.t. It would require h
nature schooled In duplicity and i.iun-d
to deception to suspect a« an impostoi
every ono who come* along. SUveito.
a French phlloaopher, declared that
••man la credulous because he i* natur
ally sincere,” and Nlrake.-peare who
knew hurnao nature so well, assure* u*
that "suspicion always haunts ihe
guilty mind.” It is no disgrace to
have believed the plausible doctor from
the Citv of Churches, and it vould be
a most unoomforUolo world if we
had to act upon the theory that all men
are liars, guilty until proved innocent.
Nor, on the other hand, need tho*e
who now loudly proclaim Cook a* the
greatest faker that ever lived, plume
themselves upon having anticipated
the verdict of history. It i* hardlv
likely that the doctor will be able to
reli.iorlitate himself, but even so, he
cannot hope to occupy the most txarted
nieh in the gallery oi impostor*. Hi.
fraud if such it was, mu*t be regarded
as a very cheap and paltry deception
along side of the exploit* accredited to
George [’Salmanazar and other rcaMy
clever .prevaricators. Pbalmanuzai,
after wandering oyer Eupopo in many
plcturesnue di-guise-, passed himself
off a* a Japanese convert from Eor-
mos.a and fooled the bi.hop of London
a< well a* the savants of Oxford. He
invented not only a fabulou. geography

That was all. Tho major congratu

and assumed the attitude of a broken
besrt«*<l girl not long f»r this world.
Tho mother became worried and pro

Mt anxious and talked about spring
tonics, though he had no Idea of coun
termanding his order. AM might have

her lover real bad. The Change of

she hadn't time to go Into explanations

major sighed nnd wished that some
