LIKE A GIANT CORKSCREW.
Fourteen Times Around q Mountain Be
tween Base and Summit.

Fourteen Times Around Mountain Be-
tween Ease and Summit.
There is a mountain fifteen miles
from TumacacOr but SO near the inter
| ma tional line that 1t is not known posi-
lively whether it is in Arizona or Mex
leo, but it is believed that it is United
States property. Miners. SAYS New
| York Recorder, have always called it
Babel mountain, and it is most ap-
propriate name. 1t is of soft sand
stone and pumice formation, and the
work of making the road was not
difficult task. The road commences in
a canyon of the foothills and.rises at an
easy grade, corkscrew fashion, going
around the mountain fourteen times
before the summit is reached. The
road is about fifty yards square when
1t starts at the base and gradually gets
smaller until it is only ten feet wide at
the top. In many places the road has
been washed out by the storms of
years, but it is still possible to take
horse to the top. In many places,
where the sides overhang little, the
mark Of the builders pick can be plain
ly seen on the wall of rock To ascend
the mountain person must follow the
road, and this is two days task, as it
is about thirty miles. as near as can be
calculated without actual measure
ment. The lowest road is little over
three miles long when it goes around
the mountain once. However. this is
very irregular and goes around several
spurs OF the mountain The roughness
OF the road is undescriba BILE. and a
horse is of no use for a week after the
trip. The top of the mountain is about
seven thousand feet above the plain.
There Is nothing at the top, and the
adventurer wonders, when he gets
there. what the road was built for.

THE CRADLE OF GREAT MEN.
A Distinguished Pubiicist Says the West
Is Their Birthplace.

tnclF birthplace.
The typical Americans have all been
western men, with the exception, let
us say, OF Washington. Washington
had not had much of European culture
The qualities that made him great
commander and a great president were
qualities which would have made him
an equally great frontiersman. You
cannot imagine Hamilton. or Madison,
or Livingston, or Jol.l Adams, or the
Pinckneys living tole-.bly on the from
tier. They are not Americans in the
sense in which Clay and jackson and
Lincoln are Americans. We may wish
that the typical Americans of the past
had had more knowledge, more culti-
waited appreciation of the value of
what was old and esta blished,
juster view of foreign nations
and foreign politics; that they
had been more like Webster and less
like Jackson; and we may hope that
the typical American Of the future
will be wiser and better poised. But
in the meantime the past is to be un-
derstood and estimated as the
facts stand, and only thoroughly
sympa thetic comprehension of these
men who have actually been the typ
ical Americans will enable us to effect
that purpose. The fact that Clay
rather than Webster, Jackson and not
John Quincy Adams, represented the
forces which were really predominant
and distiI ctively American in our de-
velopment is commentary enough on
any theory that makes either of the
peculiar sections Of the Atlantic sea-
board the principal or only theater Of
American history.

On a slender spit Of turf which irtted
out at the tail of the eddies stood a girl
intently engaged with fy-rod; loung-
ing over the gray parapet of the bridge
were 4 couple Of men lazily watching
her
One of the men was tall and dark; he
answered to the name of Duncan. The
other was shorter built and had lighter
hair, and him his companion addressed
as Billy.
The pair Of them were moving leisure
ly through the country, in company
with a house on wheels, a yellow
painted cara van which was then rest
ing just down the turn of the road
The shorter man removed his pipe
and spoke:
"Ah, see that cast? BY love, it was a
neat one Couldn't have done it better

time, my lady. But you'll go on, wont
you? He's fat two-pounder, and you're

Three other casts were made without
result, but at the third the fish rose
again, and was snugly hooked in the
dropper.
THAT fy's March Brown for ten
pound note exclaimed Duncan with
off like a fash diagonally down stream.
''Ah, now she's giving him the butt,
and that's checking the pace. He'd

playing him like an old hand"
AS he spoke the spring of the bend.

return to the summons Of the slowly
turning reel.
The unrelenting tension of the line
wore down his strength, and his captor
felt blissfullv sure of success In another
minute or SO he would be gasping and
showing silver beneath the bank at her
feet.
She reached hand round for the
landing net, which hung from ring
in her creel-strap, and had partly
drawn it out, when of sudden the
honeycombed turf beneath began to
bend and break down.
She saw the danger and tried to step
back, but the movement was not in
time. She lost balance, slipped and
fell, and the next moment had rolled
off sideways with splash into the
shining water.
By the men on the bridge no words
were spoken. They ieft the bridge at
either end and raced down the rugged
bank on different sides. Duncan crashing
through hazel bushes. his companion

Reaching the bottom of the strag-

An hour afterwards the pair Of wan
derers reached their caravan again,
patted the browsing horse and went IN
side to change.
Silence was well maintained for
awhile, each being occupied with his
own proper thoughts. Then Duncan
spoke:

FAILURES AND SUCCESSES.
The Former Is Not Always Loss Nor th
Latter ALWAYS Gain

The Former is Not Always Loss Nor the
Latter Always Gain.
A very common word that greets ou-
car to-day on the street, in the shop
and in our homes is failure, which
raeans misery to SO many. ! shall not
undertake to give any reasons for
these. but will leave that for the poll
ticians.
Not alone in business affairs, but in
individual lives are failures too common
The bright plans which was laid for
our future were never carried out: the
good resolves we made were entirely
forgotten and time after time have we
utterly failed. / do not mean to say
that failures are not sometim newt
able, but very often strong will and
heart of courage may reach goal SO
high we almost doubt our ability to
reach it. We give up too easily; are too
easily discouraged. The heart that
sings, Press on, there's no such word
as fail. is the heart thai wins.
Courage for all of life's battles,
Strength to conquer all ii,
Hope for golden future.
Love and steadfast will
If these be your aims then surely
Successes your life will fiji
But sometimes failure comes when
we honestly feel that we have done all
in our power to gain what we SO much
desire What shall VIC do then? Any
thing rather than sit down discouraged
and effortless. If we are sure we can
never gain our bright prize then let us
try to be content with a DINNER one.
There is always one thing we can do
help some one else to gain their goal.
Oh, if we could only realize that
many times the gaining of our hearts
one treasure would bring us sorrow
such as we have never known. We are
so blind to everything but our own
desires.
We can not make bargains for blisses -
Or catch them like fishes in nels,
And often the thing our life misses
Helps more than the thing which it gets.
1t is part of Gods wise plan that
there shall be always something left
for us to hope for.
We may say that life holds nothing
more for us. but deep down in our
hearts we know better.
If we must meet with failure let us
at least meet it calmly and patiently,
believing that we have gained some
thing just by our striving.
