Shedding Up Mont Blanc.

A lame man, about sixty years of age,
has just made the ascent of Mont Blanc,
in the Swiss Alps. In his day Mr.. jan
sen has been great mountain climber.
He is the President of the French Alpine
Club and an astronomer. He was taken
up on sledge which was drawn and
pushed by twenty-five guides, and while
they had rather hard time of it In some
parts of the ascent the old gentleman sat
in comfort on his sledge and let them
tug away and founder in the snow.
When near the top of the mountain, at
the Ridge of the Bosses, the ascent was
almost vertical, and on both sides were
beds of snow, apparently ready to fall in
avalanches at the slightest motion. The
twenty-five guides, who were up to their
waists in the snow, begged the old gen
tleman to try walking for little variety,
and assured him that very short pull
would land him on the top of the noun
tain.
He finally consented to try it, got off
his sledge and took six or seven steps,
when he tumbled down in the snow. He
said the work was much too hard for his
strength and they must get him mp on
the sledge somehow. Another hours
hard work and the astronomer was on top
of the mountain, the first time that any
one has ever taken a sledge journey up
Mont Blanc.
It took him two days to make the as
cent, but only one day to return to the
hotel near the foot of the mountain, and
during the many hours the guides were
putting away up the difficult slopes two
ladies, the wife and daughter of the AL
pine sledge traveller, were on the veranda
of the hotel watching every movement of
of their relative through telescope. He
therefore not only assembled the mountain
with a considerable degree of comfort,
but afforded all the way up very unique
and interesting spectacle to those who
were watching the party below Wash
inQt0n Star.

dren," said +, ssdon't let me hear you
ever mentioning the nonsense that those
boys told you. Go away and play and
forget all about it"
commanded them to forget it, but
for myself, could not. So they said
the house was haunted, did they9 Why
had the agent not told me, / demanded
of myself Angrily! On second reflection,
however, considered it rather a tribute
TO my good sense that the man had not
mentioned it. Anyway, no matter what
the circumstance, the origin of that aw-
full noise must be discovered, and it would
be much better if it could be- accom-
plished without letting the servants und
the children know that there was any
thing unpleasant. There was nothing
for it, therefore, but for me to 60 on
voyage of discovery for myself. After
telling mamma quietly, without attract
ing any attention, I made my way to the
third floor, and entered the rooms one at
time. As look back now on my voy-
age of discovery realize what an amount
of courage it took for me to pursue my
Investigations, for truly it ''slept just
awful You might have supposed that
each member of the family had "The
Seven Sleepers" concealed somewhere
about his or her bedroom.
As no discoveries were to be made IN
this direction, mounted to the o:sic. I
paused a moment in the room of the
seamstress and then sat down and laughed
till cried. Poor thing! how she must
have suffered!
Among the patent arrangements which
the very obiging agent had had put in
for the former tenant was a something,
I'm sure | don't know what to call it,
which had been attached to the chimney
which ran down the centre of che house,
in order to increase the draught. When
the wind was from the west, there was
no draught at all; consequently when the
wind was from the west, this remarkable
arrangement was put in motion, and
created the desired draught. Hence the
fact that we only heard it the night of
the thunder storm and again this morn
ing while one was brewing.
Mammal" shrieked out of the win
dow, 'come up and see the ghost" My
call not only brought mamma, but ''the
whole tribe of Gad," as we were accus
toned to call ourselves, there were so
many of US, and besides papa's parents
had afflicted him with the name of Gads-
bury, and there we stood and listened
and laughed till we were fairly weary
The children clattered downstairs in
high glee, and could be heard at inter-
walls all the rest of the day, initiating the
noise which had been such a disturbing
element in our household.
Many were the laughs we had over the
affair. 1t grew to be quite a by-word,
and we used to say to one another,
''There will be a storm tonight. Don't
you hear the ghost of Surrey Hall. -

An Egyptian scythe, recently unearthed,
is exhibited among the antiquities in the
private museum of Flinders Petrie in
London. The shaft of the instrument is
wood, supporting row of flint saws,
which are securely cemented into it.
This discovery will set at rest the specu-
lations which have been made as to how
the crops of the land were gathered in
the flint and early copper age. 1t has
long been suspected that such an instru-
ment as Mr.. Petrie has brought to light
was used, but there was no direct evil
dence.

LOVE AT LAST TS THE LIGHT
DIVINE

Love at last Il the light divine,
All undimmed by the ages dire,
Far and pure as the gray star-shine.
AS the dawn TO the woodland vine.
Waking song from hidden choir,
Love at last is the light divine.
As the moon DER the silvered brine,
Cleaning down on the tides desire,
Far and pure as the gray star-shine.
So in the world-heart's Utmost shrine
Upward still does its fame aspire
Love at last is the light divine.
Strong with a vestal might benign,
Quenchless is its eternal fire,
Far and pure as the gray star-shine.
Sweetheart, this is a creed of mine,
Wrought in couplet here entire
Love at last is the light divine,
Far and pure as the gray star-shine

One Of she ablest editors 10 che

for years and has taken an active
part IN politics. He is Democrat
from way back, and has always been
found battling for the best interest
OF the party, AID deserves to be
honored by it. lie is a prospective
candidate for Auditor Of the State.
and is being doomed by mis- friends
for that important posision, and we
hope he will get there. The Demo
cratic editors of the State should
rally to his support, one and all,
and insist that the newspaper fra
ternity receive the recognition il is
justly entitled to. 1t may seem
little early yet to start boom of
this kind, but 1T is said that "The
early bird catches the worm," and
the time for naming the msn will
soon roll around, and with our old
time Democratic majority a pomi-
nation is a mortgage on the Office,
and we want the mortgage made
out in favor of Bro. rippett. He
is one of the best known men in the
State, and would get there with both
feet. No one doubts his ability for
the position, and his wide acquaint-
ance with the politicians and public
men of the State makes him the
strongest candidate; SO here's to
you, Bro. Tippett.

Talk about the Ozark Ages" and
walking In the Valley of the
Shadow Of Death" Why We have
the whole business right here in
kingwood. A modern edition of
the former is administered to us in
broken doses every day between sun
down and sun-up and as for the
latter any man who goes out OH our
streets after dark, takes his life in
his own hand and is liable to walk
into most anything-spccially the
darkness. We desire to call the at
tention of our council TO the third
verse and FIRST chapter of Genesis
and hope they will paste this in
scription in their hats and follow
suit. For fear that none of them
have ever read this and may not
have the book, we refer to, handy
we will quote this verse---"And God
said let there be LIGHT and there
was light" Now il would seem
that our authorities have gotten
hold of the wrong end of the mat
ter and reversed the Divine COM
mand by saying "Let there be dark.
ness and there was darkness" The
condition of our streets these dark
nights is an infamy and an outrage
on the citizens Of any incorporated
town'for no one hardly dare risk
navigating our dilapidated side
walks under such and eclipse of
light in such binding darkness.
II we have town council, we
would like to know what good it is
doing for us? What has become OF
the electric lights? Some times you
can find q lamp lit, about an aver
age of one to the street, and very
poor ones at that and then gener-
ally lit only on moonlight nights OF
you would not be able to see them
ut all. There can be no good ex-
cusc for such state of affairs as
this. The people Of the town are
able and willing to pay for more
light on the subject and they are
rising up with one voice and de-
handing to be heard, hence our
council must take heed.
