MOUNTAIN LAKES OF IDAHO.

At the head of the Salmon river, S.
miles from Bonanza, is Alturas lake, s.
600 feet high, eight or nine miles long,
has boat on it, and of course is naviga-
ted. But there is lake on the Saw
Tooth mountains that has probably no
equal in the United States. 1t is about
10 or 80 miles from Bonanza, and at an
altitude Of nearly $4,000 feet. The lake
lies in basin among the sharp crags of
the snowy Saw Tooth, and is sheet Of
perpetual ice. 1t was discovered in Au-
gust of last year by party of prospectors,
and named Ice Lake. The sun seems to
have no effect upon it, except in places
bordering the shore. tits simply great
bowl Of hard mountain rock brimful of
solid ice, sort of glacier, upon which
the rays of the sun decend with no pow
er to penetrate.

81 ACKNOWLEDGE TEE CORN. {.

The origin of the phrase, II acknowl-
edge the corn, J" is this In 1928 Mr.. Stew
art, a member of Congress, said in a
speech that Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana
sent their hay-stacks, corn-felds and fod-
der to New York and Philadelphia for
sale. Mr.. Wickliffe of Kentucky, called
him to order, declaring that those States
did not send hay-stacks or corn-fslds to
New York for sale. "Well, what do Won
send e asked Mr.. Stewart. "Why.
horses, mules, cattle and hogs" "Well,
what makes your horses, mules, cattle

worth of hay to horse. You just ami
mate and get on top of your hay-stack

your cattle2 You make one of them carry
fifty dollars worth of hay or grass to the

it take at 33 cents a bushel, to fatten a

When I gave up all hope did not
suffer one pang Of remorse about my past
life. I have always been told that when
man is drowning all his past life comes
before him and he suffers horrors of con-
science It was not SO with me. I
thought of you my dear father and moth
er, and of you all at home, and what
sorrow the news of my deafa would be to
you all, and then. strange to say, I
thought how people do lie. I have al
ways been told that death by drowning
is the easiest death, and yet here I am,
suffering agonies Of pain and I remember
wishing if l am to be drowned let it bs
done quickly. Then I thought, I am
about to solve the problem about the fu.
ture world, I felt the same feeling Of shy.
ness and dnead come over me that felt
so often and never could conquer when I
was outside drawing room door, and
about to be ushered into the presence Of
crowd Of ladies and men. Ihave been
asked if I never thought about the sharks
which infest the place. I am thankful
to say that never entered my head. II

MS. HAYES N rHE WHITE HOUSE.

1t Is safe to say that no lady in the
present generation has produced a more
valuable impression by the grace and
simplicity Of her manners in presiding at
the White House than she. It il worth
ajourney to Washington to see so simple
and unconventional lady at the very
head of the best American society. Her
portraits do her scant justice. Her face
is wonderfully mobile; it constantly ex-
presses her own genuine enjoyment in the
enjoyment Of her guests Her laugh is
contagious; and it would be as impossible
for Photograph or even a portrait to
picture the life that sparKes in her face
as for picture to portray the sunshine
that dances on the dimpled surface of a
lake which ever and anon breaks out in
TO quiet rippled laughter.
Her social victory is complete. and has
been won after hard battle. The story
has been told before, but it is worth re-
telling. She came to Washington deter
mined not to offer wine to her guests;
this was the determination of lifetime,
and she would not and could not aban-
don it. To give state dinner without
wine was declared to be impossible; all
Washington society was opposed to her;
believe 1t even became Cabinet ques-
tion. For a year she was target for
the sort of arrows which it is SO hard for
any woman to bear unfinchingly. But
she bore it all; by her patient persistence
and her tact she carried the day and con-
qusred Mrs. Grundy in her own field.
She never has offered wine; Washington
follows her lead; and I doubt whether
any State Capital, not excluding the
Capital of Maine, is a more thoroughly
temperance city than Washington to.

spooPENDYKE's BATHING SUIT.

"My dear" observed Mr.. spoopendyke,
looking up from his paper, Il think I
would be greatly benefited this summer
by sea baths Bathing in the surf is an
excellent tonic, and if you will, my dear,
make me up suit, and one for yourself,
if you like, we'll go down often, and take
dip in the sea waves"
"The very thing" smiled Mrs s., "you
certainly need something to tone you up,
and there's nothing like salt water. l
think I'll make mine Of blue flannel, and
let me see, yours ought to be of red, my
dear"
II don think you caught the exact
drift of my remarks" retorted Mr.. spoo-
pendyke, 81 didn't say that I was going
into the opera business, or that was
going to hire out to some country village

but you don't make mine of red, that's

"Most individually, Mrs. Spoopendyke,
but if you think I'm going to masquerade
around Manhattan beach in the capacity
of ham, you haven't yet seized my idea.

the waters any more by looking like a

under the guidance of lady friend,

be constructed. 1t was in one piece, and
