tumorous Jlrpart incut. Ultima Thule. They were discussing wanderings In wild and untraveled regions. "I have been." said the first traveler, "where were only vast fields of ice; where the foot of man had never before trodden; where human habitations were unknown; where were only arctic beasts and birds, and where, perhaps, the echo of a human voice had never reverberated from the ice hummocks." It was agreed that he had been in an unknown and untried land. "I have been," said the second, "in the heart of thfe jungle, where all was a luxuriant wilderness or ionage; where the lion was monarch of the fastnesses, where- the slimy folds of the constrictor were occasionally visible from the trees; where the streams trickled and flowed, their babblings never before heard by human ears; where the savage knew no habitation but the caves, and where never before was the earth trodden by human feet" It was agreed that he had been in regions remote. "I have been," said the third, "in the midst of far mountains, where the forests echoed no sound but their own sighings; where the light of civilization had never penetrated; where the peaks had never known strife of human endeavor; where the vast crags and cliffs rose as they were fashioned by the Creator, and where eagles alone claimed dominion." It was agreed that he had been in lonesome places. "Where have you been, beyond the pale of civilization?" they demanded of him. Still he sat silent, thinking. "Speak," they commanded. "I have been far, far, farther than all of you," he declared. "Where?" they asked in chorus. "I have been," he said, "where there were no souvenir postal cards." It was agreed that he had been further than all of them, indeed. A Predicament Reversed. "The late Bishop Fowler," said a Buffalo Methodist, "was a broad-minded man. Bigotry he abhorred. Creek, he claimed, should never hedge one good Christian from another. Sincere creeds, no matter how diverse, should, on the contrary, bind Christians together. "Bishop Fowler used to tell about a young Detroit couple, John Smith and Hannah Jones. "John Smith was a Presbyterian. Hannah Jones was a Baptist. They hesitated about marrying because they feared that in later life, when the little ones came, religious disputes might arise. Thus the years passed. Neither would renounce his church. John Smith grew bald and Hannah Jones developed lines about her mouth and eyes. It was a complete deadlock, the world said. "Then John was sent abroad for a year by his firm to buy fancy goods. He and Hannah corresponded regularly. Toward the year's end, by a re markable coincidence, each received from the other a letter, the tv:o letters crossing in the mail. They said: " "Dear John: The obstacles that stood in the way of our marriage have at last been removed. This day 1 was received in full membership in the Presbyterian church.?Hannah.' ' 'Dearest Hannah: We have no longer any ground for delaying our union further. I united myself this day with the Baptist church.?John.' "? Washington Star. The Bank Holidayist.?Tired and dusty the excursion was returning from the Bank Holiday trip, and Simkins, a little bald man with big ears, overcome with his day of happiness, dropped off to sleep. In the hatrack above another passenger had deposited a ferocious crab in a bucket, and when Slmkins went to sleep the crab woke up, and finding things dull in the bucket started exploring. By careful navigation Mr. Crab reached the edge of the rack, but the next moment, down it fell, alighting on Simkins's shoulder. Not feeling quite safe, it grabbed the volumious ear of Simkins to steady itself, and the passengers held their breath and waited for developments. But Simkins only shook his head slightly. "Let go, Eliza!" he murmured. "I tell you I have been at the office all the evening."?Tit-Bits. The Inspector's Double.?"How many seed compartments are there in an apple?" he asked. No one answered. "And yet," continued the school inspector, "all of you eat many an apple in the course of a year and see the fruit every day, probably. You must learn to notice the little things in nature." The talk of the inspector impressed the children, and at recess the teacher overheard them discussing it. A little girl, getting her companions around her. gravely said: "Now, children, just suppose I am Mr. Taylor. You've got to know more about common things. If you don't you'll al grow up to be fools. Now. tell me, Minnie," she continued, looking sternly at a playmate, "how many feathers are there on a hen?"?Philadelphia Ledger.

"A's keepin' an eye on ma topcoat." "Oh. don't bother about that." said the other. "You don't see me watching mine."' 'No," observed the guileless engineer, "thee has no call to.

The boldest and most successful feat of mountaineering in many a day is that of the Norwegians Rubenson and Monrad-Aas, who late last year reached the summit crest of Kabru in the Himalayas. The details of their work have just appeared in the Alpine Journal. They attained a height of 23,900 feet, the highest on record. W. H. [ Workman had held the record since 1903 with 23.394 feet, made far to the west in the Karakoram branch of the Himalayas. Graham claimed in 1883 to have reached 23,700 feet on Kabru, but the fact is disputed by most mountaineers. The fact that Kabru, though a little over 24,000 feet high, is ranked only as No. 49 among the tallest summits of the Himalayas, gives an impressive idea of these wonderful elevations. Just a little to the east rises the mighty mass of Kangchenjunga, five years ago classed as third and now as second among the high mountains; and eighty miles or so to the northwest is Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world. After climbing to about 16,000 feet the Norwegians reached the actual foot of Kabru, on its southeast side. With a week's provisions and fourteen picked coolies they started on the ascent. The ice and snow gave them little difficulty up to 19,500 feet and then I came the perils of smooth ice on the steepest of slopes and of rock and ice avalanches from far above that test the mettle of the best men. For five days they were cutting steps in the solid ice amid a chaos of ice needles and crevasses in a frozen world of the most fantastic forms. Every danger of climbing in the Alps and Caucasus is intensified in these upper reaches of the Himalayan summits, but the explorers have nothing save praise for their coolies, who proved after a short training in the use of the ice axe and rope to be keen and effective mountaineers. Half way up this ice slope they found a fiat bit of ground where they pitched camp and rested two days. I They were now 21,500 feet above sea level. The ice wall to their left, from 200 to 500 feet above them, frequently dropped huge ice blocks, and this danger required constant vigilance. Great banks of cioud usually burred the scene below them, though sometimes they caught views of Durjeeling, some fifty miles to the southwest. They were two days making the next 500 feet of ascent, and at 22,000 feet all but the two best coolies were sent back to the lower camp. The four men in advance passed a miserable night huddled in their little tent with the temperature over 20 degrees below Fahrenheit. On October 20 they started on the final attempt to reach the summit. The great cold was intensified by a high wind and progress was slow, for every step had to be cut in the frozen snow and often they had to stop to look after their feet, which threatened to freeze. They dropped their only watch early in the day and it went skim ming down and over the precipices. I'pward they struggled until about ? I'. M. they think, when they reached a place which they thought was the top of Kabru. Hut here they found a ridge, perhaps less than 100 feet above them, which they are positive is the culminating summit of the mountain. The sun had set, the task ahead of them was difficult and dangerous and they dared not go on. To spend the night at the summit would mean death, for the coal was almost unbearable and they must retreat at once to camp below. The moon soon rose and with its aid they made their way safely down, though not without one thrilling moment. itubenson slipped 011 a very steep slope and Hashed past his friend like a shot. Monrad-Aas threw himself flat to support the strain 011 the rope. He saved his comrade and himself. but four of the five strands of the Swiss tourist rope parted and Itubenson was held by a single strand. Because it was a great achievement it is all the more to be regretted that impedients, chiefly the bitter cold of the last day. prevented these mountaineers from completing the ascent when they were so near their goal. ROOSEVELT'S EARLY CAREER. His Belief That There Was No Political Future For Him. Real light <>11 Mr. Roosevelt Is shed hy a private letter which has come into our hands, and which has more personality than many of the president's longer documents: State of New York, Assembly Chamber, Albany, April 20, 1X84.? Dear Mr. North: I wish to write you a few words just to thank you for your kindness toward me, and to assure you that my head will not be turned by what I well know was a mainly accidental success. Although not a very old man, I have yet lived a great deal in my life, and I have known sorrow too bitter and joy too keen, to allow me to become either cast down or elated for more than a very brief period over any success or defeat. I have very little expectation of being able to keep on in politics; my success so far had only been won by absolute indifference as to my future career; for I doubt if any one can realize the bitter and venomous hatred with which I a in regarded by the very politicians who, at Utica, supported me. under dictation from masters who were influenced by political considerations that were national and not local in their scope. I realize very thoroughly the absolutely ephemeral nature of the hold I have upon the people, and the very real and positive hostility I have excited among the politicians. I will not stay in public life unless I can do so on my own terms, and my ideal, whether lived up to or not. is rather a high one. For very many reasons 1 will not mind going back into private life for a few years. My work this winter has been very harassing, and I feel both tired and restless. For the next few months 1 shall probably be in Dakota, and I think I shall spend the next two or three years in making shooting trips, either in the far west or in the great northern woods?and there will bo plenty of work to do. writing.

When he wrote this letter, Mr. Roosevelt was just finishing his second year as an unpopular reformer in the New York legislature. He addressed it to Simon N. D. North, editor and statistician. Mi-. North was then managing editor of the Utlca Morning Herald, and had commended Mr. Roosevelt's course in the legislature. Twenty-four years later found Mr. North in President Ri>oseveIt's administration as director of the census. Will those politicians, petty and great, who cringe and fuss, and scheme, and lie awake nights, and curry favor with this interest and that, to keep a desperate and slippery tail hold on popular favor, see the point??Collier's Weekly. LIFE IN THE MIDDLE AGES. The Way In Sickness and Old Age Was Pitiable Indeed. Concerning the life of poor people during the middle ages a writer says: "In those bygone days of feudal rule the dwellers in the country were almost invariably serfs, bound to the estate on which they were born and under the absolute rule of the owner. They were possibly better fed than at the present day, for butter, cheese and eggs were plentiful, and the fertile soil of Italy supplied them with abundance of fruit and vegetables. The poor man held his plot of ground by the tenure of so many days in the year of service to his lord. But in sickness or old age his case was very pitiable, and we have a curious proof of this in a letter written in 1465 by the mother of Filippo Struzzl, at Florence. She is speaking of some old people on her estate in the country: 'Piero and Monna Cilia are both alive and infirm. I have overflowed the field for next year. and. as I must put it in order, those two old people, if they do not die, must go and beg. Heaven will provide.' This is no passing thought of the good lady, who was pious and highly esteemed, a friend of the Medici, but it is a firm resolution in her own mind. A few months later she writes to her son: 'Piero is still alive, so he must put up with it and go away and beg. It would be best, of course, if heaven will take him.' Apparently a merciful Providence had already provided for Monna Cilia." kPOWDERJf e only bakingpowder fir lade from Royal ifejH 'rape Cream H f Tartar j&f g \ s a little more than the injurious alum \ ihosphate of lime powders, but with I al you are sure of pure, healthful food.
