also from the old lady, Mrs. Marshall,
who owned it. We boys enjoyed
night of sweet rest after our romp
around Sapphire, but we cant say SO
much for the good women. We will
let Mrs. Duckworth give their nights
experience. Suffice to say, though,
there some Aeas in the mountains.
Well, it was our aim to make Sap
phire our turning point, but the good
mountain people prevailed with us to
extend our trip as far as Toxaway or
better known as Hogback Mountain,
which is still FIVE or six miles farther
north of Sapphire. So the next
morning, Saturday, when everything
had been put in readiness, We were
soon on our way for this place. And
now We want to say for the benefit of
those who have never been to the
mountains, as we had never been, that
to travel along the road that leads to
the top of Toxaway Mountain, that is
just wide enough for wagon, and
then looking to your left into a great
prccipice, so deep that the tops of
large trees are scarcely visible to the
eye, we say to travel along by the side
of such place it takes person with
more than ordinary nerves to make the
trip without having a spasm or two.
But our little crowd stood the wilds
of the trip bravcly, and by twelve
clock were standing on the top of
beautiful Toxaway, which is five
thousand feet above sea level. AS we
stood on that mountain, that stands
so majestically among her sister peaks,
and looked into the beautiful valleys
below, we could not but think how in
significant are the works of art as COM
pared to the works Of nature, and what

around by one Of the brothers who's duty
this is, and who is therefore allowed to
converse with strangers.
After a while the visitor strollad
through the hay field, at some distance
from his guide. A bearded, grave-looking
monk made a sign to him and went be-
hind a haycock. The young man strolled
carelessly past, and heard a deep sepul-
chral voice ask the question:: Say, did
Jimmy Corbett lick F'itzzsimmons?' This
visitor shook his head, and the monk re-
sumed his hay:ng.

SHE STAYED.

Philadelphia Record: 1T isn't often
that anything dazes me- remarked one
of the young men engaged in selling con-
cert tickets out at the Wild West show
last Saturday night. but ! did run up
against a corker this afternoon. I was
working up and down the seats trying to
get rid Of a few more concert paste
boards. Hadn't had much luck with the
people in my section and wasn't feeling
any too good. One group I'd tackled two
or three times consisted of a lot of chill
dren.
"'Tickets for the concert, madam
bawled at her, though in my most seduc-
tive tones, produced only an elaborate
shake of her head in the negative until
the announcer got up on his box out in
the ring and shouted out the old, old story
of how he had forgotten to state in his
first announcement that children with
their parents would be admitted free,
etc. Then the big woman beckoned to
me.
did that man say children could go
in free?' she demanded.
HE did, I replied.
"'Then you can give me one of them

seven with me, and eight for 10 cents is

II took her 10 cents and made my es-
cape before she had a chance to ask ms
to let the absent kids come in on her one

NOBLE GAME FISH.

According to anglers who have tried
conclusions with him, the Cape salmon as
a game fish is a formidable rival to the
famed American tarpon. 1t belongs TO
the herring family and is called liking
of the Herr.ngs." In weight it runs from
four to y pounds, is very shy and ten
der mouthed, and when hooked rushes
away at race-horse speed, leaping into
the air, flashing like a sword in the SUM-
light and generally scapes. greatly to
the chagrin of the disciple of Sir Izaak.
He who can hook, play and and a ten
pound Cape salmon must be a past mas

capacity for many years to follow compile

penses There will be heavy and diff
cult load for the Russian treasury to carry
on this account for an indefinite period.
Hence it is not strange that the current
efforts of the Russian Government TO raise
a fresh loan are said to be meeting with
little success in the money centres. The
Car. as ii is reported, raised the question
Of floating a new issue of Muscovites in

Kaiser the other day, and was not encour-
aged. Under present conditions Lon
don would be out of the question for Rus
sian financial purposes, France has all of
the Cars bonds her bankers care TO hold
and the same is probably true of Amster
dam, Frankfort, and Vienna. SO ii is quite
within the range of possibility that Russia
may be unable to accomplish her purpose
in Afghanistan and Persia this time, and
compelled 10 bottle her ambitions and
postpone trouble to a more convenient sea-
son.
1t is edifying to note the surprise ex-
pressed in the neighboThood of the British
foreign office over the rumored hostile in
tentions OF the Mikado toward his good
cousin, the Emperor Nicholas If anything
of the kind is in the wind no hint OF it has
ever reached the open and active ear of
Lord Salisbury-and so on. But, in diplo-
matte circles, where ears have not been
stuffed to better back the smile of peace,
the situation in the Far East is still con-
sidered acute enough to occasion anxiety.
It is satisfactory to realize that If there
are to be developments in that quarter we
shall not have long to wait for them.
Japan will need to strike quickly or not
at all. ANY considerable delay would place
Russia in the superior position.
The innocence of the British premier
concerning any cloudiness on the Chinese
horizon, leads US to hope that the noble
MARQUIS is also oblivious of the extreme
evaporation which the conduct of his
Canadian provincials has produced in the
United States. and its possibly deleterious
effects upon the Anglo-Saxon understand
ing. When Lord Salisbury learns of this,
as he is certain TO through Lord Paunce-
fote. perhaps there is reason to expect that
