bonneville Happenings.

We notice that Mrs. Jason GrinwoOd,
who fell over wheelbarrOw two weeks
ago, is once more able to be about and
lead society.
Would that all women were like her!
Mrs. Philip WinwoOd of The Elms
saved up enough paper rags in one year
to buy her a new outfit of kitchen uten-
sis.
We are glad to hear that Miss Kittie
Canton, who fell out of a cherry tree
the other week while trying to hang
up Chinese lantern, is SO much better
of her shock that she was playing GRO
quet yesterday.
Mr.. George De Voc, the popular shoe
maker says that if all goes well with
him another year he will reshingle his
house and repaint his fence an aristo-
cratic color Good for George!
Mr.. AlOnzo Livingston, whose handi-
work as a cooper is second to none in
the state, says that if he can borrow
500 on his note he shall send his wife
to the seashOre this summer. That is
the true spirit for a husband to dis
play.

A Remedy For Red Ants.

The troublesome little red ants
that appear as if by magic about
midsummer, and take complete con-
troll of the pantry when summer
heat makes other trials hard to en-
dure, may now be routed by a very
simple remedy. A practical house
wife made the discovery by accident
and it has been found satisfactory
in every instance III which it has
been tried. Simply mix five cents
worth of tartar emetic in an equal
amount of white sugar, make it
quite moist with cold water, put it
into small dishes and set it on the
shelves where the ants are trouble
some. The ants will disappear quite
as mysteriously as they came, and
there will be no dead ones lying
around on shelves and floor. Do not
throw the mixture away but save it
for further attacks. as it can easily
be moistened and used again when
you go to the pantry some warm,
moist morning and find sugar bowl,
cookies and all sorts of sweets and
cereals swarming with the trouble
some pests.

Miners Strike.

The miners at the certify Six
quit work Wednesday on strike
for higher wages. They were get
ting $1.35 at all day shifts, and now
ask for an increase of 15c day.
They are good lot Of miners and it
is thought that the company will
grant the increase.
The men at the Kennedy mines,
thirty six in number, have struck
for higher wages. The men at these
works have been receiving wages at
the rate of $1.35 per day in dry dig
gings and $3.50 in the wet. On
Thursday evening of last week they
gave notice to the foreman of the
mine that unless their wages were
raised to ST. SO and $1.65 they would
lay down their tools and walk out
Monday evening and would not re-
turn until their demands are met by
by the company. Cuba City News

That's it, Abe. One ought to marry

"Well, Henry won't have it that way.
He says it's as fiat as pancake and
that it don't revolve any more than our

it, and as l wouldn't give in to him he

the circus might revolve and pitch US

Y a YHEN 1 got along to Uncle
"" Joe Perry's the other day,
the old man was waiting
at the gate with a look OF
trouble on his face, and after we had
passed the time of day he said:
ABE, I've had a calamity around
here since l saw you last
whats the matter?" l asked.
Martha has left me-
"YOu dOn't mean that she's left your
bed and board?"
Eyes, do. Yes, sir, she walked off
yesterday noon, and she's down at
SINNERS and says she'll never live
with me another day."
Pretty sudden, wasn't it?"
"Waal yes, though l was sorter pre-

would give in. Abe, you know heap,

"But you don't call it sass?"
''No; it's apple sauce"
"Say, Abe" says Uncle Joe as a
frightened look came to his eyes, don't
fool a Teller about this thing. 1t seems
to me that it must be either sarse or
sass That's what me and Martha
quarreled about. l called it sarse, and
she called it sass, and we both thought
we was right. Don't trif1e with me,
Abe"
"Why should I? It's neither sarse
nor sass, but sauce, and you were both
wrong. Why didn't you ask somebody
about it long ago."
II did. l asked Jim Tompkins, and

The only safe course to take is to keep
the blood pure, digestion good, and sleep
regular. No remedy equals, in all re-
spects, Peruna for these purposes. If
the system is run down and weakened
by catarrh, Peruna renovates and re-
juvenates the nerves and brain.

MOUNTAIN CLIMBING
HOW HIGH CAN MAN ASCEND?
Highest Point Reached Less Than Five
Miles Above the Sea-Experts Be.
Ieve That Mount Everest May Yet
Be Scaled, But 1t Would Be a Work
Of Several Years.

Just how high man is able to climb
has never been Determines; not be
cause of the lack of mountains. but
owing 10 the evcr-multiplying difficult
ties which beset the adventurer the
higher he gets.
The highest point to which man
has SO far climbed is %. 3.393 feet. This
Is the height of Aconcagua. the loftiest
summit of the main Cordillera of the
Andes. This point was reached by
the guide Matthias Zurbriggen and
Mr. Vines two members of the eXpe-
dition that Was sent out in 1897 under
L. a. Fitzgerald. Before this the rec
ord was held by Sir William Martin
Conway's expedition. which in 1892
climbed mountain in the KarokOram
Himalayas 22.GDO feet high.
Whether man will ever he able to
climb to the top of Mount Everest,
which is 29.NO feet above the sea lev
el. is Il question upon which scientists
and other are divided. An expedition
to finally determine the matter would
be watched with considerable inter-
est.
Such an expedition, however. to be
carried out with any reasonable hope
Of success would not be a matter of
days or weeks, but of years. Noun
tain expeditions have hitherto adopted
too rapid a rate of ascent. The nervous
system consequently had not time to
accustom itself to the action of the
raritied air nor the organisms to the
cold.
Angelo MOssO, one of the greatest
authorities on human physiology, who
has devoted years to the study of the
effects of high attitudes on the human
frame and who has been instrumental
in securing the erection of new OBJ
servatory and Alpine station on Mon
tn Rosa for the special study of the
life of men on the high Alps. stated
very recently that he was convinced
that man may reach the summit of
Everest without serious sufferings.
The reason, SIgnor Mosso tells us,
why so few have attempted the ascent
of the highest peaks is the conviction
that man cannot withstand the raritied
air of such attitudes. We live at the
bottom of an ocean of air and our
bodies are especially adapted for life
at low levels. Consequently when We
are placed in unusual conditions such
as exist at great heights, we are af
feted in various ways. Respiration
becomes difficult the circulation of the
blood is altered, the heart is fatigued
mountain sickness is experienced
and lassitude and eXhaustion. follow
In spite of all this the ascent of
Mount Everest is believed possible
The progress must necessarily be very
slow because the climber will have to
acclimatze himself perfectly as he as
cends in order to reach the top in con-
ditions of health and strength.
