BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAIN PEAKS.
Rainier, Shasta, Hood and Other Fine
Mountains of the Far Northwest.

Rainier. Shasta, Hood and Other Fine
Mountains of the Far Northwest.
About so miles south of Tacoma you
get view of the most beautiful noun
tain peak on the earth's surface, Mount
Tacoma, or Rainier, and carry it with
you for three or four hours. It rises di-
reotly from the tide level to height of
IA, 444 feet, unhidden by intervening
ranges or foothills, and stands squarely
against the sky, the perfection of mag
nificence, dignity and power. 1t is two
and one-half times as high as Mount
Washington, and I believe the highest
peak in the world that rises directly
from plain. 1t is known to us in the
east as Mount Rainier and was so called
in honor of Admiral Rainier of the Brit
ish navy, but here they call it Mount
Tacoma, the old title given by the
Siwash Indians before the white man
came. The base is covered with dense
forest of ever living green. Above the
timber line the snow is white and
smooth and perpetual, and it looks as if
it were solid block of the purest mar
ble
Mount Tacoma is just two feet higher
than Mount Shasta, 297 feet higher than
Pixies peak and 400 feet higher than
Gardeners peak. The highest in the
United States, Mount Crillon, Alas
ka, is over 10000, but an exact meas
urement has never been taken. Mount
st. Elias, Alaska, is 1921; Mount
Whitney, California, is 15,O9S, and
Mount Williams, California, is IA, 400
There are several other very beautiful
peaks visible from the railway, includ-
ing st. Helen, $3.50 feet, the patron
saint of Portland, around whose head
hangs perpetual halo; Mount Hood,
which is shapely cone, II, 225 feet,
which was named in honor of Lord
Hood of the British admiralty, and
Mount Baker, 10, 800 feet, christened in
honor of Joseph Baker, one of the lieu
tenants of Peter Puget, who discovered
the sound. Theodore Winthrop has
written lovingly about them, and they
are the subject of the purest and choicest
descriptions that exist in the classic
prose of Washington Irving, although I
believe he was never nearer them than
his home on the Hudson river, 5000
miles away.-Chicago Record.

The Romance of a Watch.

Rossini's watch, which has recently
been sold at Bologna to a rich English
man whose name is not mentioned,
has history. In 1924 Charles x pre-
sented the composer with a repeating
watch, studded with diamonds, and
playing two of Rossini's melodies. No
body in Bologna could clean the watch,
SO it was sent in the care of the tenor
Fabiano to Paris, where it was destroy
ed in fire. Plivee, the matchmaker,
thereupon made second watch, the ex-
act counterpart of the 9rst, except that
the diamonds were ID 10, and Rossini,
who never discovered lis pious fraud,
wore the trinket al his life. On his
death it passed to a re. tive, whose son
has just sold it. 1t is lid to contain an
excellent portrait III enamel of Ross /:

CHARLOTTE TEMPLES GRAVE.
The Most Popular Spot In Trinity Church
yard, New York.

gaTut new Iork.
A few days ago passersby in Broad
way, looking through the high fence
that surrounds Trinity churchyard, saw
a slender black gowned girl kneeling by
the grave of Charlotte Temple. Her
head was bowed in her hands, and she
seemed utterly lost to her surroundings.
After awhile she arose with q very pale
face, walked swiftly through the gates
and disappeared in the crowd. She was
only one of many devotees at the shrine
of the poor girl who died for love. No
body ever visits Trinity churchyard
without pausing for a few minutes be-
fore the big brown slab that bears only
the name Charlotte Temple -
"Oh, yes!" said the gray haired old
man whose duty it is to see that the an
cient tombs are kept in order. sit is the
most popular grave in the yard. have
been here going on II years now, and
there have been very few days in good
weather when the grave has not had a
visitor. Several times l have seen wom-
en- come here and stand in the cold and
sleet and snow looking at the tomb
Somehow they always look as if they
wero in trouble.
"Seven or eight years ago began to
put potted flowers, geraniums and the
like on the grave, and Ihave kept it up
every summer since. 1t is mainly to
mark the grave, so that visitors can find
it. 1t is the only grave in the yard that
has flowers on it. Otherwise the people
would bother me to death. When they
ask me where the grave of Charlotte
Temple is now, I simply tell them that
it is over ON the west side with some
potted flowers ON it. That saves me q
deal of trouble.
Several of the gravestones are crum-
bling badly and will have to be repaired
if the descendants of the dead want tc
perpetuate their memory See; here is
the Oldest grave in the place"
Then the old man swept away a layer
of dust from crumbling gray stone and
showed the date. 1851. "We have sew
eral that date almost as far back" said
he, "but none of them is SO popular as
that of Charlotte Temple" :"
Then the ancient attendant tucked
his broom under his arm, picked up his
wheelbarrow and trundled away among
the graves. New York Herald.
