JUST THE THING.
Another Mans SILK Hat Serves to illus
trnta a Mountain Climb.

When Mr.. Whymper WAS in Quito,
after his travels Among the Great
Andes" he received polite message
from his excellency the president of
the republic, expressing wish to
see him, says the Youths Companion.
Accompanied by Mr.. Hamilton, the
British minister, Mr.. Whymper
obeycd the summons. The president
received him without formality and
with much cordiality, dismissing a
visitor-a colonel in the Ecuadorian
army-to the farther end OF the
apartment.
The president became interested in
Chimborazo-"I should have thought
| it was 10000 feet high at the least, :"
he said-and asked for description
of the ascent This Mr.. Hamilton
proceeded to give him. Mr.. Whym-
per continues:
Finding himself in want OF n black
board, and seeing nothing more like
one than black chimney pot hat
which was on the table, Mr.. Hamilton
used it to illustrate the spiral ascent,
and excited my admiration by the
vigor and accuracy with which he
traced ur route as he drew deep fur
row through the shining nap to show
how We sunk in the snow.
While this tete-a-tetc was progress
ing, the president leaning forward on
his elbows, intently following Mr..
Hamilton's discourse, noticed a
movement ut the other end of tho
room, and, glancing around, found
that the colonel was writhing in
ugony.
1t was his hat, and he was on the
point of exploding with suppressed
rage at seeing his Sunday headgear
used as blackboard for THAT
wretched gringo." He glared and
scowled, and seemed ready to spring
forward and assassinate all three of
us.
Mr.. Hamilton was quite unconscious
that he was raising storm, but the
president noticed my glance, and,
turning his head, perceived the state
of affairs. His smile caused our min
lister to look up and he dropped the
hat.
With grim humor-which fear
made the colonel go over to the revo-
lutionary party-the president re-
quested Mr.. Hamilton to continue, as
he was much interested, and then, by
few slight touches, which went
fortunately in the direction of the
nap, the ascent was completed.

Ben Copp was arrested Wednesday even

trains in the yard. He was not hurt by
that accident, however. 1t was feared in

in the cell some one came rushing to him
aud said that Copp had fred his cell and

station some one had burst in the
cell door and rescued Copp. The blanket
in the cell were badly burned and the sta
hon was full of smoke. Copp was sense
less when found but revived on being
brought to the air. He was put in another
cell and was setting that on fire when dis
covered. He was then taken to Jail and
a afterwards fell over backward onto the floor
in what appeared to be fit, cutting his
head quite badly.
