and the walls began to crumble but the soldiers holding
the fort ceased firing for instant, altho the
crumbing walls falling almost them. Next

ALPINE GUIDES.
kAe Trouble They Sometimes Have
With Reckless Climbers.

With Reckless Climbers.
The Alpine guide frequently risks his
health, strength, even his life, for per-
sons who may have been themselves
the cause Of the peril encountered.
The qualities of first class guide,
says the author of Adventures on the
Roof Of the World" include not only
skill in climbing, but the ability to
form sound conclusions in moments Of
danger. A certain climber tells an an
ecdote which bears Oh the Importance
Of the guides powers of judgment.
F A member of the Alpine club was
ascending a peak in company with an
Oberland guide. Part Of their course
lay over a snow field which sank grad,
ually on one side, sharply ended by +
precipice on the other. The two were
walking along not far from the edge
of this precipice when the English
man, thinking that an easier path
might be made by going still nearer
the edge, diyerged little from his
companions track. To his surprise,
the guide Immediately caught hold of
him and pulled him back with more
vigor than ceremony, we'll nigh throw
ing him down il the operation. Wrath
full and not disinclined to return the
compliment, tie Englishman remon-
strated. The guides only answer was
to point to a small crack, apparently
like scores Of other cracks in the lleve
which ran for some distance parallel to
the edge Of the precipice.
The traveller was not satisfied but he
was too wise man to argue while a
desired summit was still some distance
above him. On the descent when the
scene of the mornings incident was
reached the guide pointed to the crack.
which had grown pefceptibly wider.
'This marks" he said, 1.-THE place
where the true snow field ends: l feel
certain that the ice from here to tie
edge is nothing but an unsupported
cornice hanging over the tremendous
precipice below. 1t might possibly
have borne your weight, though l don't
think It would" Thereupon he struck
the neve on the farther side Of the ice
sharply with his ak. A huge mass
Immediately broke away and went
roaring down the cliff.
The traveller was full Of amazement
and admiration and thought how there,
on an easy mountain and in smiling
weather, he had been very near to
making himself into an avalanche

SPARTAN VIRTUE.
II n a Fine Thine Il It II Not Ad-
yertised TOO mich.

i 81 .,.ts .L'
A Spartan virtue seems to haye the
Inherent quality Of making its possess
or a A caliber bore of tie worst sort.
Take the man whose supreme If not
only virtue lies in the fact that he
takes q cold water bath every morning
the whole year round. You meet him
In the car, in the street, IN the course
Of business anyw here, and no matter
what the topic may be at the start the
Conversation is bound to include an a'c-
CONTRIBUTE incidental, OF course OF
how on the frostiest of mornings he
frolics in the ice cold water just as it
comes from the hydrant. 80, -,
Then there's the, man who walks
down to his office every morning, rain
or snow, in sunshine and ii storm. The
more distant his home from his Office
the more he will talk about it, and he
will tell you that he has become 80 ac-
cust0med to it that the only time he
can get an extra thrill out Of it Is when
the streets are deep with snow and the
wind IS blowing d hurricane /" = II 7''T
Heaven may forgive the man who
rises Mt s summer and winter, spring
and fail. We never can. The early
riser is not a criminal simply because
the law does not designate his Of
Tense as crime. But it is admitted
that the law has its defects. Nothing
can approach the look Of superiority
on the face of the early riser. He has
found the only road to health or
wealth. The books he has read before
breakfast would if collected in a heap
make the Congressional library look
small.
There are some who would place in
the first rank Of this group that rug
ged, hardy, vigorous, full blooded gen.
tleman who can't breathe in room
unless all the windows and doors are
open. The lower the pressure of steam
in the radiator, the lower the mercury
in its tube and the wilder the play Of
the winds over the roofs and around
the corners the more insistent is he
that you are imperiling your very life
by not occupying an Office wide open to
every wind that blows.
Oh, Spartan virtue is fine thing, but
it would be simply sublime if its mod
ern opponents and inculcators would
Just keep still about it.-washington

arrested at Cheyenne last night on a
