Almost any piece of real estate in this city or near by can be "sold" if the owner is willing to sacrifice not only his
legitimate profits but some of his original investment In that case the owner is, also, "sold.
For, in or about this city, there is to be found a buyer for any piece of real estate WHO WILL PAY WHAT IT IS
WORTH-and this ALWAYS means a profit to the seller, unless he has paid a scandalously high price himself.
The old point, "FIND THE MAN' persists, of course. And the old solution, SENSIBLE ADVERTISING, remains
the best one. To apply the solution to your case you must sinVy size the matter up in a.cold-blooded way, and decide

DR. FREDERICK COOK
UPON HIS ARRIVAL AT THE CITY
OF COPENHANGER
The crown prince of Denmark and
representatives from national civic
and scientific organizations greeted
the explorer at the pier while the
crowds cheering vociferously, milled
about them beyond the cope of the
police.
The police tried to form an open
ing for Cook to walk to an automo
bile, but for a time this was impossi
ble. Shouting and throwing their
hats in the air the men lost them
selves in their enthusiasm, while the
women cheered and waved their
handkerchiefs. Some even attempt
ed the "Hobson greeting" for the ex
plorer. Finally after a great deal of diffi
culty Cook managed to get down the
gang-plank and at the sight of him
the crowds gave vent to their enthus
iasm without stint. Slowly a road
was cleared through the press of hu
manity and Cook was bundled into
the automobile. Then started a tri
umphal journey towards the Hotel
Phoenix, where accommodations had
been reserved for him.
All along the route the jam was
so great that the car moved at a
snail's pace and frequently had to
stop to avoid running down the ex
cited mobs who rushed Into the street
in front of the machine, shouting in
Danish and cheering tumultously.
Crowds had surrounded both the
American legation and the Phoenix
hotel, but as soon as it was learned
that the explorer had started for the
hostelry the crowds surged in that
direction.
A number of persons were slightly
injured by being squeezed and tram
pled, but none were seriously hurt.
As the Interviewers gathered
around Cook in the Phoenix hotel he
Bald:
"I have found the north pole.
Scientists must decide for themselves
whether I am speaking the truth or
not. I shall submit the evidence to
them In absolute assurance tat they
will find the claim Justified."
As soon as Cook arrived at the
special apartments Bet aside for him
In Hotel Phoenix he was Immediately
surrounded by representatives of va
rious ; organizations and nearly
crushed. The members of the geo
graphical' society -on hand were so
enthusiastic that they proceeded im

health. The hotel became a pande
nioniuni filled with wildly cheering.
jostling masses of people, all trying
to get near enough to the American
to grasp his hands. Many who had
been commissioned to extend invita
tions tried to fight their way through
the jam by sheer force and this nearly
precipitated a riot.
During a lull in the uproar Minis
ter of Commerce Sansan delivered a
speech to the assemblage in the hotel,
welcoming Dr. Cook to the city and
inviting him to attend the banquet
tonight. Dr. Cook arose to reply and
the noise broke out afresh. Finally
he managed to say that he would
gladly accept the invitation and that
he intended remaining here for sev
eral days.
Cook has shaved off his beard and
mustache and does not much re
semble the published pictures of him
self. A Hot ilia, of torpedo boats iu the
harbor thundered salutes as the
Colonial Danish steamship came into
the harbor with the daring explorer,
who has planted the American flag at
the top of the world. Dr. Cook's eyes
dimmed with tears at the scene of his
triumph.
The American yacht Feodora,
owned by W. Gould Brokaw, with the
American legation party, consisting
of Minister Maurice Francis Eagan
and Secretary Charles Richardson,
followed the Hans Egede Into port
with American flags fluttering proud
ly from her mast peaks.
The harbor was alive with yachts
and steamers, all bearing great
crowds of people who cheered Dr.
Cook and thronged the rail trying to
get a glimpse of him aboard the
Hans Egede. The Danish and Amer
ican flags, intertwined, fluttered from
every peak.
The piers and house-tops wei"B
black with excited, shouting masses
of humanity and flags were strung
from window to window. The police
and city guards found it nearly im
possible to handle the crowds about
the uays while the police boats found
maratime traffic in such a snarl from
the unprecedented number of boats in
the harbor that the Egede and the
Feodora could scarcely effect a land
ing.' The scene was stirring and for a
moment a mighty silence settled over
the multitude. But only for a mo-
nient; then cheerink broke out which
echoed and re-echoed. The .hit land
and other torpedo boats in the har
bor which had belched forth the
world's welcome were lying ponder
ously at anchor, giving a martial as
pect to the impressive picture. .
In response to the enthusiastic
greeting Dr. Cook stood upon the
bridge of the Egede waving his hand.
His slender figure was easily recog
nized and the enthusiasm broke out
afresh.
The steanipr Melcheor. bearing the
in. tubers of the royal geographical
society party, of which Dr. Cook is
the official guest, met the Hans Egede
L'.'i miles outside the harbor and fol
lowed lier in with the Feodora. The
festivities which commenced upon his
arrival will be continuous through
out Dr. Cook's stay in Copenhagen.
The American legation was deco
rated resplendently with the flag of
the Tinted States. It was surround
ed by a great throng.
So great was the enthusiasm felt
in the coming of the American ex
plorer that preparations for his re
ception and entertainment went for
ward all night. Consequently there
were conflicting arrrangements. but
guiding hands soon brought order.
Invitations of every sort poured
upon the American legation directed
to Dr. Cook and it. was soon made evi
dent that, if he took part in all the
festivities planned he would soon be
wishing himself back at latitude 90
with its scant fare.
Hundreds of telegrams from A mer
le and all parts of the globe were
at the legation awaiting the arrival
of Dr. Cook. They were mostly con
gratulatory. Besides the reception of Dr. Cook
in audience by the king, numerous
entertainments were planned. They
included banquets by the minister of
commerce, the municipal council of
Copenhagen. American Minister
Eagan and the Koyal Geographical
Society. ,
As the day advanced the enthus
iasm increased. The City Guard had
to patrol the streets around the
American legation all day, while
launches bearing parties steamed
about the harbor inspecting Hans
Egede as If it had played some part
in the discovery of the pole.
Fireworks were exploded and those
on board the Feodora planned a reg
ular "Fourth of July" display by buy
ing Roman candles and skyrockets.
The great number of strangers in
town was an impressive feature of
Dr. Cook's reception. They came
from the continent and the British
Isles and all were anxious to meet
Dr. Cook. There were many scien
tists and geographers among them.
Accommodations were scarce, but
i hat did not matter. Many persons
Mill not go to bed al all but stood
ii ion the harbor front all last night
expecting every minute that the Hans
Egede would arrive. Thousands thus
went without sleep, but this caused
no diminution in the enthusiasm.
A big banquet will be tendered Dr.
Cook tonight in the city hall, when
he will formally meet the minister of
commerce, the members of the city
council and the royal geographical
society. Two of the most interesting
personages at ill's banquet will be
Mio. Amundsen and her daughter,
who were among the last white peo
ple to say goodbye to Dr. Cook at
Cape York before he plunged into
the northern solitudes.
The Americans in the city spent
the day celebrating in their own way.
A number of Anuiv-an 'ourists had
hurried into the city from European
and British poin'r und tlv ein .upris

(iveii u Delightful Kcception Last
Night.
The social life of the school began
at Meredith College last night with the
annual reception given the new girls
by the Y. W. 1". A. This is always
given on the first FVic'-iy night after
school opens and offers an excellent
opportunity for every one to get ac
quainted. The rooms of the lower Poor of Fair
cloth HaTnrpre all thrown together ami
by eight o'clock they were thronged
with a jolly merry crowd of school
girls, renewing 'old aipiaintaiiees and
making new ones.
Attractive little cards with the sug
gestive sketch of an ofd dog looking
down patronizingly at a little chicken
were distributed, the game being to
get as many names as possible on
your card. The prize, a bllliken hat
pin was won by Miss ulive Boone,
one of the new students.
Apples bearing quotations were also
distributed, the old girls matching their
quotations with those of the new girls.
Both contests created a lot of fun and
proved to be a successful 'mixer."
There were several delightful solos
from Miss Minnie Hayes and then
just before the crowd dispersed. Miss
Elizabeth Lovell entertained them in
her own inimitable way with a reading
from Uncle Hemus.

moving pictures. For one hour joy
re'gned supreme in their little hearts
and It was with a sigh that they filed
out of the building, but with scam
pering feet they hurried home to un
fold great tales of the evening's
amusement. Twenty-five little fel
lows are today singing the praises of
the show and giving vent to heart
