Rockies back of Denver and Colorado
Springs, describing thegrandeur of the
mountain peaks and canyons, and the
views to be had from the SUBMITS.
He told of the expedition of Capt.
Pike in the fall of 1906. There were no
white settlements west of the Miss
1ssippi and Missouri rivers then, and
the officer was sent with twenty five
men to locate company of Spanish
troops, which was thought to have
penetrated north into the territory of
the United States. Capt. Pike ap-
preached no nearer than sixteen miles
to the mountain peak which now
bears his name, and declared that no
man could reach it. 1t was long known
In the vicinity as James peak. from
one of q party who first scaled it. The
top is fat and comprises seventy acres
of crushed granite. A government
station is located there, and on &C.
count of the rarity of the air the at
tendant cannot sleep. He stays there
. week, and two weeks at Colorado
Springs, losing eight pounds on he
peak, and making it up when IF duty
DR.. Line interspersed his account
with numerous incidents ard anec.
dotes, and drew few comparisons ap
plicable to life. He closed with a fine
word picture of SUI rise seen OF
Pixies Peak by himself and party.

Tho Classical Barber.

"This queer world, said ]. E.
Whiteford of Chicago, land man
runs up against surprises at almost
every corner. The other day was
being shaved by good looking mu-
latto man in Washington barber
shop, and on talking with him
found that he was a graduate of a
university. He had read Cicero,
Horace, Homer and Euripides and
was we'll versed in the higher mathe-
matics. asked him if he was con-
tent after acquiring such an edu-
cation to work in the business he
was pursuing. He said that it was
a case of necessity, and, much as lie
preferred more lucrative employ
ment, there was nothing else open
to him, and I went away wondering
whether so called higher educa-
ton is of much use i'll the way Of
enabling man to earn his liveli-
hood. "-Washington Post.

A Peculiar Ohio Community.

"There is community at tAmish,
Holmes County, O., that meets Bob
Ingersoll's idea of Atlantis, said
an Ohioan. "There are no churches
and no ministers in the community,
which consists of $1,000 or 10000
souls, residing on 1GO acre farms.
Every member of the settlement is
a producer. Religious meetings are
held, but they are at the homes OF
various members, not in regularly
established meeting places. Draft
horses, the best in the country,
come from Amish. The customs Of
the people are primitive in their
simplicity. No one ever thinks Of
knocking at a neighbor's door; they
lust walk in. Travellers who come
through the community are taken
in and entertained, in literal inter-
pretation of the Scriptural injunc-
ton, and no one is permitted to re-
ceiye pay for the entertainment.
The most curious of the customs Of
this peculiar people is that relating
to it's women. Married women wear
black caps, those who are engaged
go to church in brown headgear,
while the young girls proclaim the
fact that their affections are disen-
gagged by dainty white bonnets.
There is considerable sense at the
bottom of this quaint custom, and
the social jealousies and heart burn
incs of other towns are said to b3
practically unknown i'll Amish. -

Creatures Of Habit.

See those two persons sitting
near the door in the street car?
One is an elderly washwoman.
The other looks as if he might be
a clerk pertaining to the ribbon
counter of a dry goods store.
They are strangers to each other.
They have never met before.
There are no ties Of sympathy OF
consanguinity between them.
They have nothing in common.
Yet they are sitting very close to-
gether.
This is because the car is crowded.
But the car is gradually emprying
itself.
It is not nearly as full as it was a
little while ago.
The young man and the elderly
washerwoman, however, are still
jammed in the corner near the door.
Most of the passengers have got
out.
And now the young man and the
elderly washerwoman, whose des-
tination appears to be the remotest
suburb, are the only ones remain
ing.
She is still jammed into the cor
ner.
The young man has not budged
the smallest fraction of an inch.
They are both uncomfortably
crowded.
But they do not appear to know
how to help themselves.
Why is this2
Inertia may account for it.
And it may be simply laziness.
Nobody can tell.
But everybody acts just that way
in a street car.-Chicago Tribune.

A "Reminiscences of the Old s1anse.

My father was one of the village
doctors and had sent me with
package Of medicine for Mrs. Haw-
thorne when Una was born at the
Old Manse. I remember standing
tiptoe before the ancient door at the
end of the long avenue of half dead
ash trees and just managing to
reach the ponderous iron knocker.
Mr.. Hawthorne himself opened the
door, and I had finished my errand
and was turning away when he
said to me, wouldn't the DOCTORS
little girl like to see the new babyi"
Of course the doctors little girl''
was crazy to see anything that was
new-and of all things new a new
baby-so he led me up the aged
stairs; then, asking me to wait
moment, disappeared through a
door that stood ajar. Very soon he
reappeared with the tiniest morsel
of humanity, as it seemed to me,
that had ever seen, in his long,
strong arms.
While I was admiring the baby,
even then named Una, Mrs. Haw-
thorne, from and inner room, called
me to come and see her. The gos-
sips of the day in Concord called
Mrs. Hawthorne "homely' and
"plain,' but certainly her room
was not. Being an artist, she had
done what, though common enough
now, was then very rare-painted
her furniture herself. On the head
board of the bed she had copied
Guido's "Aurora, and at the foot
what she called one of Raphael's
Hours" " while on the washstand
was Venus rising from the sea, and
on the dressing table Correggio's
"Cupids." I was only a little girl
at the time, and as it was my first
conscious acquaintance with art it
produced an effect on my mind that
has been ineffaceable.-Mrs. A. S.
Doron in Bookman.

Retaliation.

An old lady once had a cat Of
which she was very fond. One day
she missed her pet, and on making
inquiries she heard that neighbor
had killed it. After a little medita-
ton she hit upon way to avenge
herself.
She bought some mousetraps and,
having caught about so mice alive,
put them into a large box, which
she took to the unsuspecting neigh
Dor. He, thinking it was quite safe,
took it in.
When he opened it, he was horri-
fed to see swarm of mice scatter
in every direction, while at the bot
tom of the box he found a note con-
tanning these words:
"You killed my cat, and now ]
have the pleasure of sending you a
few of my mice. "-London Tit-Bits.

7siE "wATcHEs OF THE NIGHT"

When come the hours for sleeping
In the "watches Of the night
And the soul in restful keeping
.Awakes In lone alright,
From dreams or nervous ailings,
Of spirit fear and dread,
OF mortal griefs and iailings,
OF heart and hand and head,
Brave troops Of fevered minions
Appear to the restless brain,
Winged on wild and reckless pinions
Come and go and come again,
And the air is rife with fancies
OF varied form and sight
Till broad mornings light advances
On the "watches Of the night. S
Then the garish gnomes Of terri
Fold their wings and droop afssn.
Fleeing from fields of error,
When the day god lifts his crl.
Then the mists Of nightly horrs
Flee before the morning light
And reason surcease borrows
From the "watches Of the night"
