A HOT BRICK

Is cheaper and a great deal
better than a cheap rubber
hot water bottle. A brick
won't leak. Better buy a
good hot water bottle, one
of the reliable sort, that

have that kind, one that
will stand by you like a
friend. The price is not at
the top, nor at the bottom,
but just right for the quail
ity.

50 white and horror-strickcn tina. I
can never forget it, Cold beads Of
sweat stood on my forehead, and felt
that my courage was all gone. The
experience of that awful moment al
most unntryed me, and | was weak
and helpless as a little child.
Lying on my face ! leld on tightly
TO the rife driven deep through the
crust, How to regain my footing was
u puzzle, Kellogg started 10 come
down TO me and it was with difficulty
that | persuaded him to desist.
At last hit on plan. Holding on
to the rifle with one hand, with the
other | drew my poCkctknife, and,
opening it with my teeth, cut two holes
in the crust for my feet, and after
much effort stood upright. But we
were still in = bad fiN. Kellogg called
TO me to break holes through the
crust for my feet with the butt Of the
gun. Although not more than 20 feet
distant he could hardly make him
self heard above the roar Of the storm.
But the suggestion was q good one
and proved our salvation. We moved
slowly forward breaking a hole in the
ice FOR each step. II was severe treat
mcnt 20 give valuable guns, but they
had to suffer in the best interests of
their owners.
Slowly and carefully we moved for
ward occasionally stopping To rest
and spoal, words Of encouragement to
each other, for now we had the FIRST
gicam o. hope for five long, terrible
hours,
Although very weak physically, our
minds were much clearer than an
hour before, and we even went so far
is TO chaH each other little. But we
had plenty Of fears yet. Once my
heart leapcd as Kellogg slipped and
came down on both knees, clawing
fran,icaIly at the a,t; but he rcgainCd
bis feet without difficulty, and we
pushed on. Would we ever get across?
Every minute seemed an hour.
kellogg said that, as nearly ms he
could calculate, we had been founder
ing about on that man-trap for
week.,
But we kept going; the end must
come some time, and sure enough Il
did; and ut siN o'clock we stepped on
the granite powders again having
been just one hour and ten minutes
ON that terribly inclined suow-deld.

On all occasions when the subject
came up for discussion Mr.. Chickering
denounced the hilarious junketing in
dulged in by congressman Oh funeral
committees, and he often declared
that if he should die, while a member
of the house of representatives., he
would want no junketing at his funer-
nj. His wife saw enough of the hollow
ness of this congressional mockery;
and it is to her eternal honor as a
wife, and to her everlasting credit as
an American woman of the highest
type. that she carried out the wishes
of her deceased husband, and also
demonstrated her own individual con-
tempt for the mockery of an ostenta-
ton of unreal woe.
1t is fortunate for the country that
there have arisen a time and person
to stop this ghoul-like performance.
Mrs. Chickering has established pre-
cedent which ought to stand forever
as bar to future congressional fa-
neral committees. There ought to be
no more funds paid out of 1.-The con-
tingent fund.- on such occasions for
champagne, whisky, cigars, gloves,
flowers, carriages, decorations, stump
tuous breakfasts, elaborate dinners
and orgy suppers on the funeral
trains. Well-informed people have
long been shocked and Inundated by
knowledge of the preposterous pa
geantry, the discreditable and vulgar
ostentation, the shameful junketing
on such occasions, and the extrava-
giant expenditures incurred in these
fragrant parodies on sincere mourning
and heartfelt grief.
Mrs. Chickerng deserves the admira-
ton of the country, the gratitude Of

ton and were going the wrong @ayf
did not mention my fears to KEEL
Iogg. What was the use?
Every few moments we sank down
on our faces to recover our breath.
At such times ] found my mind wan
dering and could not think clearly.
Kellogg made several remarks with
out any particular meaning, and his
face had a vacant, sulen look. AL
most the last ray Of hope was gone.
There was no complaining, no whin-
ing, only a sort of mad desperation
which made us resolve TO keep NOV
ing TO the last.
Finally, through rift in the clouds
not so yards ahead, we saw the spotless
white of the long -looked-for snowfiell.
With a feeble shout we pushed for
ward, but when we reached its edge
our worst fears were realized. 1t was
terribly steep, being at an angle OF
about 40 degrees, and the crust was
a coating of hard, slippery ice, tho
thickness of pasteboard Through u
break in the clouds we saw that it ex-
tended downward to timber-line, fully
1900 feet, as steep as the roof of
house and smoother than the smooth
est glass. How broad it was we could
only conjecture.
AS we came up, Kellogg struck the
crust with the butt of his gun, and
went sliding and bounding down the
steep face with terrific velocity.
We looked at each other in despair.
ITS no use" | said.
Not a bit" was the answer.
We sat down and talked it over. To
retrace our steps was out of the ques-
ton, and we could not climb to the top
of the field, probably thousand feet,
in our weakened condition.
Suddenly Kellogg leaped to his feet
and rushed toward the slippery mass,
crying out: "Come on; we've got to
do it, I'll take mine this way" With
out n second thought, in my hopeless
desperation l followed. BY using his
gun as brace Kellogg kept his feet;
but / slipped and fell on all tours and
began sliding down. In n wild frenzy
tried to drive my bare fingers through
the crust, but only succeeded in tear
ing the skin off them.
Luckily, / had retained my rifle, and
by frantic effort drove il muzzlc first
through the hard crust and came to
a stop, having gone about 20 feet. Had
IL not been for this fortunate move
my body would have been hurled to
the bottom Of the gorge, more than
thousand feet below, and mangled
beyond all semblance of human form.
Looking up at my companion | saw
that he lad turned away his head,
unwilling TO be "A witness to my hor-
riblc fate; but as | called out to him

gresham, IN the senate and house of
representatives, committees of those
bodies were appointed TO attend his
funeral, ostensibly to show to his
neighbors and friends the esteem in
which he had been held by the con
grcss. The sergcant-at-arms of the
senate and the sergeant-at-arms of
the house made preparations for n
funeral train to bear the congrcssion-
nj joint committee to the scene of the
funeral. Their preparations were cut
short, however, by the decision Of
Mrs. Chickering that no congressional
committee would be desired by her or
by the other members of the family.
Congressman Chickering was a very
popular member of the house of rep.
rcscntativcs. The announcement of
his death caused sincere sorrow to
those Of his colleagues who knew him,
and he was well known to almost
every man in public life But con
grcssional committee could not have
honestly shown respect and esteem
for him, unless the members Of the
committee had departed from the Gus
tom which has prevailed OF late years.
