How tire- Tass to the eye of the explorer must appear the constantly recurring ice flees. Impassable except by seldges, they must drag their boats or await their disappearance. Encouragement met by persistence, each a victory to overcome the next. ONSON NEB Laura some. Dear Helga and Stred! Thank you for the pretty Easter Card.

Here stands the sturdy explorer prob- ably contemplating 'what the future has in store for him. KAWIN & CO CHICAGO No. 22. DIFFICULT CAMPING IN THE ARCTIC. The explorer's home presents no rooms of luxurious ease. A man's home is his castle, and here amid the icy blasts rests the hardened explorer in his temporary home of a few hours building.

After the Schooner “Bradley” was caught and wrecked in a floe of Arctic ice at Etab op the west coast provisions for eight- een months were left behind and tradea with the Eskimos for sledges, two can- vass boats and other necessaries. CHICAGO KAWIN & CO No. 38. ALUMINUM SLEDGE USED BY DR. COOK FOR FINAL DASH. Science comes to the rescue. An aluminum sledge must afford the light- est burden. Every pound saved is a pound of provisions gained. The soul and life of the expedition-perhaps a mile more, perhaps the last and suc. eessful mile. KAWIN & co, CHICAGO POR ADDRESS ON No. 50. HOISTING THE STARS AND STRIPFS AT THE NORTH POLE. Every American heart thrills with patriotism at the emblem which means liberty and progress. Another triumph and the axis of the world is ours. Liberty and freedom waving from the axis of the earth is symbolic of every true American's thought- liberty, freedom for all. KAWIN & CO, CHICAGO No. 36. POLAR CAMP. There is but one stepping stone in the Arctic regions between the world of men and the hitherto impenetrable mystery of the Polar seas, and that is Etah, a huddle of Eskimo huts on the western coast of Greenland, by the shore of Smith Sound. In order to economize the life saving heat several families dwell together in one hut. In fact, the whole life of the Eskimo is based upon the communal idea: the tribe works together, eats together, and sleeps to- gether. There is neither poverty rior riches. All take what they need from the common store, and such a thing as starvation or homelessness is un- known. *WI & CO CHICAGO FOR ADDRESS ONE No. 16. SIGHT WHICH BROUGHT JOY TO THE HEART OF THE POLAR EXPLORER-THE AURORA. A sud- den blaze of light, bluish green and red softened into each other, illumines the pitch darkness of the arctic night, a pale lambent ray shoots upward to the zenith, flicker's a moment, then a thin veil overspreads the heaveus, dy- ing slowly, mingling with the black- ness. (by contrast) of the polar ice. . 'Tis gone! The return of the sun February 19th after six months of night was the signal for the dash. POLAR EXPLORATION 2o GO KAWIN & CO.. CK TOP ADDRESS ONE?

LEY” TCE BOUND. And after all how human contrivance must fall before nature's productions. How small, how insignificant, how helpless appears our vessel in the throes of the majestic icebergs and floesice bound and im- prisoned she awaits her destruction or her liberty as the Supreme Ruler sees fit to direct. CHICAⓇO KAWIN &00 POR ADDRESS ON No. 35. GREENLANDER MAN AND WOMAN, The Eskimos were the only companions of Cook and Peary on their final dash to the North Pole. The climate of Greenland prepared these people for the hardships of these po- lar expeditions, Denmark provides all materials to these people, who in re- turn give them products of the chase. & CO CHICAGO KAW FOR ADDRESS ON No. 31. AN ESKIMO DOG SLEDGE IN POLAR EXPLORATION. Much of Cook's hard work was lost in circui- tous twists about troublesome pres- sure lines and high irregular fields of very old ice, in spite of what seemed like long marches Cook advanced but little more than 100 miles in nine days. KAWIN & CO CHICAGO FOR ADDRESS ON No. 47. DOG TRAINS. These little animals, slight and sure of foot, be- came the only means of transportation. Almost human in intelligence, they become the explorer's sole dependent. Dumb in expression, they serve their master as faithful slaves. CHICAGO KAWIN & CO POR ADDRESS ONER No. 26. DR. FREDERICK A. COOK IN ARCTIC DRESS, Alone in the vast expanse of ice and snow, nothing but ice, snow and crevices met the eye, and the explorer forced his way over the COOK 10 1-2 p S28 WEY TWO cracking ice with the ever present knowledge that a mistake meant not only death, but the failure of his long cherished desire to meet success. 25- CHICAGO KAWIN & CO FOR ADDRESS ONM No. 5. THE CREW AND CAPTAIN OF THE "ROOSEVELT.?' Capt. Bart- lett, experienced with Peary in the pri- vations of the Arctic regions, is indi. eated by the cross. Men who were willing to brave unseen perils and dan- gers in the cause of conquest. and hon- er to their mother country--America- such were these men and so their ef- forts were crowned with success.
