sBud1 Baneroft Who Made HimseIs
 Solid With the old Veterans. Mobile Register.
 As every MobIlian knows, Bud" Ban croft is the city armorer, and has charge of the armory in the city, and of all the military property therein. Among this property Is a lot of cots and blankets for the use of the Mobile military when called into active ser- vice. and which the kind-hearted cap tains of the companies had put at the service of the reunion committee, to be used in lodging visiting veterans.
 Now "Bud"-the name by which he is known to everyone--is a genial fel- low, a veteran Himself, and as tender hearted as a woman.
 On Monday night last, when there was a grand rush by the visiting vet erans on the committee for sleeping ac- commentators. q rush greatly increased by the fact of belated trains and con- nections missed, causing all D come at once 1t became necessary to quarter some of the veterans in the arnlory for the night, and quite a number of them. were escorted to the armory and put in Buds" care, and Bud" made them as comfortable as circumstances permit ted.

4 Notable Church Dispute.

It, will be remembered that during his recent visit to this country the Archbishop of Canterbury. himself q scotchman, expressed willingness to accept proposal that he should be- come the chairman of board of arbi-
 tration to settle the dispute between the United Free Church of Scotland and
 the twenty-four outstanding ministers who tefused in 1900 to assent to the union of the Free Church and tine United Presbyterian Church, and who, on August 1 of the current year were adjudged by the House of Lords to be
 the soie owners of all the property of the former Free Church. It now
 looks as if the matter had gone too ! far for arbitration for, a week or two ago, the Court of Session at Edinburg ordered the, immediate enforcement of the judgment of the House of Lords. This order having been issued during a recess of Parliament the United Free Churches can find no relief in legisla- ton, and, apparentlysmu forthwith turn over buildings and funds valued in the aggregate at s55.G00,000 to the so-called '"Wee Kirkers" who number. as we have said, only twenty-four min- lsters, most of whom live in the High- lands and have. perhaps, five thousand parishioners.

On her return from her almost suc- cessful attempt to reach the tiptop of Mount sorata Miss Annie Peck, one Of the most famous of women mountain climbers. testifies that she was "a sight to behold" Her face was covered with blisters from the cold. she was dis gruntled because the chicken hearted ness of her guide prevented her going farther and so exhausted that she sank upon her couch to sleep without even waiting for dinner. { And yet no soon CT was she recovered from the attempt on Mount 5orata. in the Bolivian An- 'des, than she was up and at 1t again. trying Mount Huascan, in Peru.
 The hardships of mountain climbing. as described by those who make a bus mess of 1t, are such that 1t does not seem as if any ordinary mortal of com mon sense could be induced to under take them. There is always present the actual danger to life. of sinking suddenly into a crevasse miles deep, Of being overwhelmed by an avalanche, of missing one's footheld upon the sUp- perry ice and, at extreme heights, of be- ing attacked by mountain sickness Miss Peck's con1rade on her first ascent of Sorata. in 1908, Professor W. G. Tight, died of mountain sickness.
 At the height of 16,000 feet live chickens carried for food die literally for want of breath. The climbers themselves find difficulty in breathing. and only a few pounds burden can De carried. In the Andes. where Miss Peclx's most remarkable ascents have been made, the snow line begins at

 Individuals, both masculine and fer1l- nine.' who have become addicted to the mountain climbing habit that they would not exchange it for all the iuxu- ries of the palace of sardanapaius.
 Women have not been at the noun tain climbing occupation till within comparatively few years, but they have already nearly achieved the high est heights sealed by men. The lofti- est point ever reached on this globe by mortal was climbed to in 1888 by W. w. Graham on Mount Kabru. in the Him. alayas. His record is 24,015 feet above sea level. The worlds second highest climb, 23,394 feet, also in the Hima- layas, was compassed by w. H. Work man of Boston in 1903. Mir, Workman's wife, Mrs. Fanny Bullock Workman. accompanied him as far as 22,5S5 feet.s This ascent was made on KoSer Gunge.
 Mrs WerKmasa's feat places her at 'thc heatf of women mountain climbers of. the world. There is perhaps satis- faction to Americans in knowing that two of their countrywomen are the most famous and successful climbers of the feminine sex. While Miss Annie Peck has not succeeded as yet In get- ting SO far above sea level as Mrs. Workman has done, the difficulties in her way have been greater, since the scene of her attempts has been the Andes range.
 Mountain climbing in South America is rendered more difficult than else- where beeause of the lack 6f capable and responsible guides, It is a ,busi- ness that does not appeal either. to spaniard or to Indian, and since the highest peaks in the western hemis- phere are in the Andes it is exactly in

What Ia Truth.
Harper's WeeklY.

Truth upon ultimate reality is not furnished by religion, philosophy or science. And yet the most noticeable quality of a truthful and truth-loving man is the power to perceive truth ; partial truth, surely but truth and not shams. He may never be able to prove or explain or justify his knowledge. but quibble or a falsity he will reeOg- nize when he meets it. and instinctive- ly he will gravitate toward those peO- pie and those things which are in line with the integrity of the universe.
 The little child can not live long in the world without becoming aware of an outer law of fact--a hard. objec- tive wall of reality which does not bend to his desires nor shape itself to suit his fancy and he learns that 1t is oe

this outer fact hs must give account or label his narrative imaginary. A littlo boy of four told his parents an alarm ing tale of having destroyed a great many plants in an inelosed park and faces added; But I'm not telling you a real I'm just telling you a poem"
 So he who most easily and quickly falls in line with the universe setting aside preference and seif-see king recognizing the independent outward fact most nearly as it Is without dis tortion, is the truthful man; but not only truthful; he is the man of de- veloped consciousness.

Out in Columbia road lives a gentle.
woman of ample means, who recently
advertised for cook The establish
ment is entirely in accord wish IN ex-
cellent social position, but is by no
means pretentious, so when a we'll rec
commended cook called and mentioned
her price as $40 d month the lady of
the house answered that a wage Of that
figure was quite out of the question.
The cook dwelt little on her su-
periOr ability in the matter of getting
up smart iuncheons and dinners. but
the mistress of the house answered
that she wouldn't think for a moment
of paying $40 for a cook. The chef
lady rose to depart. She was perfectly
affable, and the gentlewoman's deter
minatiOn evidently impressed her as
most cOmmendable.

ANCIENT BABYLON.
Its Great Wall Was One of the WON
ders of Those Days.

It's Great Wall Was One of the won
ders of Those Days.
According to HerOdotus, the ancient
city Of Babylon stood on broad, level
plain and was an exact square Of four
teen miles each way, making the entire
circuit of the city fifty-siX miles. 1t
was protected both by a wall and
moat, the latter being broad and deep
and kept constantly filled with water.
But the wall was the wonder of won
ders. being SO 1-3 feet in width and an
even 200 feet in height. This monster
barrier was provided with 100 gates,
all of solid brass, the intels and side
pieces being in bronze. Cross walls
ran along the banks of the Euphrates.
each provided with twenty-five gates.
which corresponded to the number of
streets running in each direction from
the river.
The most remarkable edifce inside
the wall was the temple Of Bel, pyra-
mid Of eight square stadia. On the
summit of this pyramid stood a pure
gold image of Bel forty feet high, two
other smaller figures of the same pre-
cious metal and a golden table forty feet
long and fifteen feet wide. This Won
derful city first came prominently into
the history of the world in the year 747
B. c.. but since the time of Alexander
the Great it has been a ruin, the site
having at one time been entirely lost
