CLIMBING MOUNT RAINIER.
Thrilling Experience That Was Just
Saved From Becoming Tragic.

Saved From Becoming Tragic.
So far ms have been able to lonrn, no
ono had assembled the cast side OF Mount
Rainior previous to our excursion Much
OF tho way the Slope was So steep that we
could barely retain foothold in tho hard
snow with our Spiked shoes, aided by our
alpcnstocks. VI only few places, how
ever, was 1t necessary to cut steps Tho
snow was greatly crovasscd, and numerous
snow bridges had to be crossed. Owing to
the stcepness of the general slope the up
per sizes OF tho crevasses frequently stood
ns walls, which rose in front of us in
ascending and wero the most troublesome
OF all tho distractions to overcome. Sew
oral times after YEARLY threading our way
through a maze of intersecting fractures
for an hour or more an impossible gulf or
vertical wall barred farther progress
retreat and another attempt were then the
only resources.
Our advance was slow even on unbroken
slopes, rs we were rOpcd together, and it
was necessary for safety that some of the
party should always have II firm hold in
tho snow with alponstocks while others
were advancing. Once we were in danger
OF disaster. Whilo crossing a steep snow
slope diagonally and having yawning
crevnsse Immediately below us the man
next the rear end of the line slipped and
slid down the slope on his bncl to the very
brink of tho ynwning gulf. Unfortunate
iy the man behind him ut that critical
moment removed his alpenstock from the
snow, was jerked from his feet and, shoot
ing head first down tho steep incline, dis
appeared over the edge of the crevasse. A
severe strain came on the rope, but the
three mon in advance held fast with their
nlpenstocks. Before assistance could be
extended to the man dangling in nidair
In tho crevasse he climbed the taut rope
ana stood unframed among us once more.
Tho only unfortunate result of the acci-
dent was tho loss OF nm alpenstock -"Im-

1t is absolutely impossible to
have Rheumatism if the Blood
IS pure. The acids which cause
the disease cannot exist in rich,
healthy blood. The reason so
many thousands fail to get rid
OF Rheumatism is because they
try to cure it with liniments and
external applications of one kind
or another.
The Blood cannot be reached
from the outside. rheumatism
cannot be cured that way. A
person may try a lifetime, but
the disease will not yield to such
treatment; it will, on the other
hand, grow worse each year.
