Mountain Climbing,

Has a wonderful fascination for many
men. And the higher the mountain and
the greater spice Of danger about it, the
more anxious is the ordinary man, with
any mountain climbing instincts what
ever, to get 10 the top OF that mountain.
There is an intoxication, a fiery enthusi
assn about it that pushes one on and OH,
and rests tired muscles and inspires flag
ging courage to everlastingly keep ct it
until the top is reached and the cooling
zephrya that fan the brow OF the noun
tam cool your own throbbing temples.
Americans have thought that it was
necessary to go to Europe, to the Alps,
to find any full grown mountains toiscale
It's all moonshine. Isn't $4,000 feet
high enough, with glaciers, those rackedt
cracked creatures of ice and snow, and
craters and assures andss precipies to climb
over and round, the same as i'll the Alps?
Yes, they are oil right here-close at
hand, and if YOU are interested to know
| Where and how and when, just send
your address and six cents in stamps to
CHAs. S. FEE OF the Northern Pacific
Railroad, st. Paul, Min, and he will send
you IL book that recounts q climb up one
OF the grandest peaks Of earth, written
/ by the gentleman who made the assent.
The chapter on this mountain is pro-

panied the party for that purpose. Ii
