Champion Endurance Walter.

There are many records of sorts, and
an Italian with a passion for dancing has
added another-that of the endurance
waltz This novel champions name is
Signor Guattierro, and he made his dis
play in Paris during Sunday with five
competitors, lured by the challenge offer
Of Signor Guattierro to give t40 to the
man who could dance him down.
incidentally the event established
something like Il record for the single
pianist who played the contest through,
for it was part of the plan that the sue
cessive dances should be played without
the slightest break or interruption. as if
they formed successive movements i'll a
single composition. This was necessary
because it was stipulated that a single
fault in step or time on the part of the
dancers disqualified. The bali opened
at 10 a. NJ, and it closed at 1870 yester-
day morning. For an hour before that
time al other dancers but Signor Guat-
ticrro were merely shutting their feet.
The number of dances played was 252.
Signor Poll Luigi was the player.-Lon-

Lamenrable Ignorance.

Sheep for Mountain Meadows.

Thirty cars of sheep went up to the
top of Rollins pass on Tuesday, number
ing 5000 head. These sheep have been
sent into this country by S. e. Burgess
of Oregon, who is trying an experiment
in ranging. The slopes of the pass are
in government reserves, and the owner
pays cents head for the privilege of
the range.
Mr. Burgess has examined the hills
carefully and decided that there is plen-
ty of good grass at the high attitudes,
especially for sheep, which browse close.
The cool nights will also be excellent for
them, and they should take on wool as
we'll as fat. One big saving that he fig
ures on might not occur to the layman,
and that is in the wool. Sheep ranging
among brush will lose hundreds of
pounds of wool that is torn from them.
On the mountain slope they will be free
from that and the wool should also be
clean and free from dirt when shearing
time comes.
An interesting feature was the way
that the sheep were unloaded on the
pass Tuesday night. There are no pens
and rundowns there, so the animals
were made to jump out of the cars into
the big snow banks and were then herd
ed and driven down to the proposed
ranges.-Denver Republican.

MAKING OVER A MOUNTAIN.
Helena Objects to Great Big Bald Hill
VIII Make Park on It.

The strangest and most interesting
park project ever undertaken in this
country is to be found at Helena. Mont.
writes John II. Raftery in the Technical
World Magazine for July, where the cit
liens are engaged in transforming the
bald. slopes of conical mountain which
towers nearly 400 feet above the city
into a forest park.
There is nc spring. well, brook or
pond upon the bare sides or rocky sum-
nits of this singular park; nor will it be
possible to raise water from the valley
for the irrigation of trees, shrubs and
flowers; yet the expert foresteEs of the
federal bureau who spent last summer
planning fcr the planting of the park
are agreed that several varieties of ever
green trees will flourish there without
water or attendance.
\ spiral footpath has been graded
from the city to the summit of Mount
Helena. and there an ornate pavilion
has been erected upon the highest point
of rock. HOO feet above the main street.
In the cliffs of the peak there are two
spacious natural caves, which will be
tenanted by specimens of the native
bears. hons and other carnivora of these
mountains.
Parks enclosing herds of deer, ante
lope. moose. elk and buffalo will be
added as the present limits Of the tract
aye extended upon the desert lands
which lie back or the mountain.

The day before yesterday the crash
came with a vengeance. An assistant at
the next counter to me missed a packet
of handkerchiefs, and he actually accused
my mother of stealing them. As a mat

and as she saw me and knew there would

only way to get rid of it, and disappeared
before [ could collect myself.
"Of course, you can imagine the scene

mother absolutely refused to let me

MAN DREssMAKER uF PARIS.
His Method of Work--How He Gets an
Inspiration

The dressmaker is slim young man
with a long nose and big. winsome eyes.
Wearing a gray frock coat and patent
leather shoes-corseted and powdered
and perfumed-he is more than a man:
with dandyism. 1t is not of an offensive
kind.
His manners are strange mixture of
humility and insolence. for he is at once
a salesman and an artist. And he talks,
talks, talks-bending his slim body into
polite curves, gesticulating with his thin
white hands-rolling his eyes in their
painted orbits, the while he fumbles
silks and velvets and satins and lace and
wool.
The mere man who comes into
dressmakers shop of an afternoon-in
Paris no one goes to the dressmakers
save only in the afternoon-begins by
sneering at this fantastic creature. That
mood does not last long. Contempt gives
way to admiration. There is something
marvellous in the way this lord of lace
and ribbon dominates the women-the
royal highness as well as the spoilt
actress.
He is charming; he is frivolous. Then
of a sudden his face darkens; he be-
comes serious; he stares at her royal
highness, studying her form from head
to foot; he smites his brow, and cries
despairingly: mo! no! | can't see you
in that gown-today. l can't see you in
any gown will study-an inspiration
will come-you must wait" And royalty
goes away flattered, she knows not why

"Thirtv" Cars Thirteen Fares.

Car No. 80 on the Glitch line was
coming downtown from the Gardens
about 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon,
when Conductor Sam Millhouse looked
at the register.
Look there he said to a passenger,
Just thirteen fares. and no more in
sight. I'm not very superstitlous, but
don't like to carry that number around
with me-"
ooh. l guess We'll get downtown all
right" replied the passenger.
The conductor smiled. 'Oh, L guess
so,' he said.
At that instant a loud report was
heard coming from the front end OF the
car. Before the conductor could get
to the forward end Motorman Charles
Rowland stuck his head inside. r The

EVER TASTE CHIRSCHMUS?
1t Sounds Powerful Good-Anybody Can
Make It.

Last summer l ate genuine Swiss
chirschmus twenty years old, says a
writer in the Ladies' World. 1t tasted
like concentration of all the richness
and sweetness of the most perfect cher
ries. In appearance it was a purplish
black mass. Age had not impaired it in
the least.
Upon inquiry learned how this cherry
connection with its wonderful preserving
quality is made. The cherries used must
be perfect-very large, ripe, juicy black
ones, and, above all, very sweet.
The juice of them, pressed out and
strained through bag, is put in large
preserving kettle, at the bottom of which
is placed a piece of smoked pork fastened
to block Of wood. The wood serves as
a weight to keep the fat down and pre-
vent the juice from burning as it thick
ems.
The cherry juice is boiled for about
twentyfour hours, without sugar, but
stirring it from time to time, until it be-
comes a mass of sweetness so firm and
thick that it would not fall if the kettle
were inverted.
That is all, simple process, but the
result is delicious. This chirschmus is in
general use in Switzerland with the
"suesse Ankle" (sweet butter) and bread.

BIG FISH IN HOLLOW LOGS.
Great Catches of Catfish Made Right in a
SaWmill.

At this time of year the men who are
working in the sawmills along the Missis-
sippi river are somewhat puzzled to de-
eide precisely what their occupation is
Sometimes they think they are mill men
and sometimes they think they are fish
ermen.
Catfish seem to be the 'coons and pos
sums of the river world. They take to
the hollow logs, which they find among
the RATS tied up near the sawmills.
In June the men who work the logs
up to the carriages which take them to
the saws begin to watch for hollow speci-
mems. When they find one of that sort
they are pretty sure of a big catfish hid
ing inside.
At Burlington a large number of fish
weighing from 3 to 10 pounds each have
been taken in this way during the last
few weeks. One black catfish weighing
SO pounds was caught about two weeks
ago.
The prize was an immense blue cat
fish, feet in length and weighing So
pounds. The sawmill fishermen were
not prepared for such a big fellow and
he jumped clear through their net. He
would have escaped to the water but for
man with a canthook, who despatched
the prize The fish netted his captors 81
when he had been dressed and cut into
steaks.-New York Sun.

NO ONE WANTED BOX "A.
Austrians' Superstitious Fear of an I'm
lucky Number and Day.

In no other western European country
is superstition so prevalent as in Aus
tria- Hungary. Quite recently the Cham
berlain's Office changed the number of
box ID in the Imperial Opera house and
the Imperial Court theater to pa, be-
cause the public objected to sitting in a
box bearing this unlucky number. None
of the rich subscribers who takes a box
for the year wanted No. 10, and for sin
gle performances it was just as hard
to dispose of.
This superstition reaches it's height in
medicine. Speaking at the health eXhi-
bition, DR.. Heinrich Grun declared that
in many instances superstition. and es-
pecially local superstition, was an abso-
lutte menace to public health.
In the Austrian hospitals one finds no
block or pavilion -, no ward IL, no
staircase Is. Very few patients will
consent to be operated upon on the 18th
day of the month, and in this respect
Friday, too, is considered just as I'M
lucky. At Carlsbad, Marienbad, Gastein
and other famous Austrian cure resorts,
nobody wants to begin his cure on q
Friday.-Pall Mall Gazette.

WISDOM OF AN EMPIRICIST.

A fellow feeling makes us wondrous
blind.
He'll hath no fury like a woman
unadOrned.
Look out for the hammer in the hand
of friend.
Many worthy things remain undone
from too much preparation.
Because a man has million dollars
is no proof that he is worth it.
When a burglar gets into a fat, it is
sign that he mistook it for a house.
Suicides a~e illogical folk. They
usually kill themselves for fear they'll
die.
Lots of husbands look like they are
made by recipes from the women's jour-
nails.
You can't drown trouble unless you
own the brewery.-St. Louis Globe-Dem-
Ocrat.
A fool sheep hasn't got sense enough
to wear VOLTS clothing without trying
to growl.
I would cheerfully give my all to the
poor, but they have enough troubles OF
their own.
The big things in life are accom-
plished by people who take pains with
the little ones.
Let those plutocrats who long for kind
words be consoed. There is the epitaph
to be written yet.
1t may sail be the same a hundred
years from now, but that doesn't pre-
vent the shoe from pinching today.
