He Could ELL the Rill.

A day or two after George B. Cortel-
you assumed the duties of secretary OF
the treasury he was visited by an elder
ly man who wanted an appointment as
confidential clerk to one of the assistant
secretaries. Notwithstanding the fact
that he was very busy at the time.
Mr.. COrtelyou gave the elderly person
a hearing. On account of his age, Mr..
Cortelyou said he felt that he could
not comply with the request. So. gen
tly, but firmly, he intimated to the old
man that it was about time for him to
90. This, however, did not dampen the
latter's spirit in the least.
''Now, SIR said he, "as feel my
self peculiarly competent to fill one of
these confidential clerkships. I hope
that you will further consider my ap-
plication." Then, wagging his head
most impresslvely, he added:

npeadhead" Logs.

Some 30.S57 "deadheads." aggregat-
ing 100000 feet of lumber, have been
pulled ont OF the bay in the Mississippi
river n short distance above Minneapo-
lis. The method employed in raising
the "deadheads," which are water
logged, with but one end floating, is as
follows. Part of the crew approach
the "deadhead" in a bateau and reach
down with their pickpOles and catch
the sunken end with the spur on the
pole and bring this end to the surface
An iron spike is then driven into the
sunken end of the log and a stout rope
attached When several logs have been
harnessed in this fashion, the ropes are
taken to the shore and horses hitched
to them. The tension on the ropes is
sufficient to raise the sunken end OF
the log, and the "deadheads" are hOated
to shore, where they are skidded up to
the bank and left to dry. A large log
jam formed in this bay a few years
ago and backed up the river two or
three miles. and as consequence there
are thousands of the 'deadheads."
The whole river for four or five miles
north of the city is a veritable mine,
and the number Of logs taken out last
summer is only a. small portion Of
those there.-NIinneapolis Journal

The Eskimos at Ramah and at the

and superstitions Of their ancestors.
They will not live in a house where a
death has occurred, believing that the

where else. Not long ago the wife Of

ATOP OF OUR CONTINENT.
The Outlook From the Pinnacle of
Mount Mckinley.

Mount Mckinley.
DR.. Frederick Cook, who recently sue
ceeded in making the ascent Of Noun
McKinley-a feat which had bafied al
other attempts-tells of his wonderful
climb. Here is his picture of the toI
of the mountain-the highest point OF
our continent-20,S91 feet above the
sea:
I'VE stood up under a black sky sc
low that we felt us if we could nearly
touch it, We had reached the top
What a task! Without the aid OF
guides we had at last reached our goal
Almost uncOnsclously our hands were
locked, with a look of satisfaction al
each other. Not word nor a yell was
uttered. We had not the breath to
spare. It was Sept. 16, 1906, 10 o'clock
in the morning, the temperature 16 de-
grees, the altitude 20,391 feet Then
followed a long gaze over the cold wide
world spread out at our feet
"To the south the eye ran over the
steaming volcanoes, Redout and Illia-
nina, down Cook inlet to the point of
Kenai peninsula and the Pacific, 250
miles away. Narrow, winding, pearly
ribbons marked the courses Of the KOS
kokwim, Yukon. Tanana and Susetna
rivers.
"Out of the Pacific rose a line Of
clouds drifting over the Chugach noun
tains, 10 deposit their SHOWS in the
glaciers of the Alaskan range. A SINH
lar train of clouds came out Of the
Bering sea and swept the western side
Of the range. These clouds blOtted out
most of the mountains near the main
range.
This lower world of lesser noun
tains did not impress us so much as the
our feet was the top of the continent,
the north pole of our ambitions, proba-
bly, the coolest spot on earth, and we
were the most miserable Of men at
time when we should have been elated.
Nevertheless shall always remem-
Der with a mental focus sharpened by
time the warm friendship of my COM
panion. Edward Barrille, the curious
low, dark sky. the dazzling brightness
of the sky scraped granite blocks. the
neutral gray blue of space, the frosty
dark blue of the shadows and, above
all, the final pictures which I took Of
Barrille with the flag lashed TO his
AK as an arctic air froZe the impress
sion into a relief which no words can
tell.
"a record Of our conquest was left,
with small flag. in a metallic tube in
a protected nook a short distance be
low the summit. A round OF angles
was taken with the prismatic compass.
The barometers and thermometers
we're read and hasty notes jotted down
IN our notebook. The descent was less
difficult. but it took us four days to
tumble down to our base camp."-Har-

Mutual Fears.

At a private musicale in New York
given by a prominent society woman
there were present a number Of Amer
lean composers, among them Victor
Herbert.
In the absence Of one Of the singers
scheduled to appear. a certain young
woman was asked to sing something
Of Herbert's. After many objections
and protestations, evidently for effect
the young woman finally made her way
to the piano.
Il shall sing the serenade from Mr..
Herbert's opera of that name" said
she, addressing the company generally.
Then in a whisper to Herbert she
added:
"But, oh, Mr.. Herbert, I'm so afraid
1 can't sing it,"
"Never mind" responded Herbert re-
assuringly. Il am too. "-Lippincott's.
