Winter In the mountains is severe
in its restrictions. Sledging and travel
over the snow-banked trails are lin
tied to bare necessity In the colder
seasons the trails are kept open BY
shoveling and packing them down
When the runners sing intermittent
ly in high. thin voices, the teamster
with a belt tight around his overcoat
and Topping lis arms to keep warm
faces his greatest hardships. But
when the heavy SHOWS and rapid thaws
Of spring come, teaming means q bat
lie and a venture with sudden
termination hanging Just above.
Thousands Of tons Of snow I'D the
mountain sides hang on trigger
that can be sprung by the sigh Of
a breeze or the rolling Of a pine cone
and in summer many barren slope
and pile Of rock and timber at the
bottom tells a skeleton-tale Of the win
ter's tight. tloundering, swearing
and persevering opens the trail--a lit
tie ruffed thread Of white from up
above, but a hard days work for a
man.-Outing.

Mr.. J. S. Sargent tells of an artist

One Man at Least Who Wishes
They Had Never Been
Invented.

Telephones, they say, are respoR-
Eible for more broken engagements
and bored husbands than any other
one thing. A set Of men smoking
after dinner at one of the clubs this
week said so, anyway, and several Of
them are In a way of knowing. One
is literally on the verge of breaking
his engagement because the girl in
sists upon calling him up at least
three times day, and if he isn't
where she thinks he should be at
that hour she trails him until he is
located, says the New York Telegram.
His most strenuous game of bridge
is broken into at the club by her call
on the phone; he is made to leave the
ticker Is hear her dulcet voice amid
the shouts Of operators on the floor
Of the exchange to ask if he still loves
her AS though this were not enough,
she call him in the morning before he
goes downtown, and if ever there was
g man on the verge of riot it is this
one.
The curious part Of it is the girl,
who is old enough to know better,
cannot be made to realize that sa-
tiety is fatal and that, no matter how
much man may care for her, he does
not enjoy the sentiment during busi-
ness hours. Moreover, he does not
care to have the yoke wired on, not
even by telephone, and women who
are prone to do this viii do well to
grasp the fact and let the man feel
free, even II he isn't
As for bored husbands: When they
are called at the Office or afterward
every time they are late coming home,
OF when the office boy is called upon
by an irate or distracted wife to fur
nish information, the men after BIT

known as the collar. But many wives

HAVE FOUND scoTT's CAMP.
Diary Shows Immense Sums Have
Been Taken From It.

Walter Scott's camp has been dis
covered by a party Of prespectors
about IL miles south Of Willow creek.
There are two caves not far apart,
reached by a precipitous ascent OF
200 feet from the bottom Of the can
gon.
The most convincing evidence Of
Scots recent occupancy was his
diary. This, IN scott's own hand
writing and picturesque English, re-
cords his going and coming. with ell
tries Of the fabulous findings he made
there. They read like this:

COW TURNED THE FAUCET.
saoacIous Animal Saved Herself q
Long Walk TO the River.

The county poor farm has, accord
Ing to the assertion OF the inmates,
the cleverest COW in the state, says
the New York World correspondent az
Portland, ore. The animal Is an old
red Jersey that has been on the farm
for years. The matron at the farm
last summer discovered that the fau-
eet on the hydrant in the back yard
was frequently turned on, but con-
seant watching failed to disclose the
miscreant.
The same trouble occurred again
this summer. The matron noticed the
water was turned on about the same
time every afternoon. While she was
watching she saw the old red Jersey
come leisurely up the road into the
back yard and walk straight up to the
hydrant. The COW pushed the faucet
with her nose, but it did not seem to
work. So she tried her horns, and
when that method failed, opened her
mouth, took hold Of the faucet and
turned II.
Miss Bossy then drank her fill o.
cold water and turned away toward
the green fields. evidently pleased
that she did not have to 60 a quarter
Of mile to the river TO satisfy her
thirst.
The next day the COW seemed much
puzzled to find a new faucet and ap-
peared detected when, after half an
hour Of hard work. she could not get
her drink. Then the matron had a
watering place made and the cold
water was allowed to run at all times.

Midshipmen to Meet Obligations.
The Navy Department has approved the
recommendation of the superintendent of
the Naval Academy for change in the
academic regulations so as to permit the
reservation of s12o per annum from the
pay of each midshipman while at the Naval
Academy instead of $S4, has been the
case hitherto. very conservative esti-
mate of the actual cost of the necessary
outfit of the midshipmen in uniform and
equipment upon graduation amounts to
s297. This does not include the uniform
overcoat, which he is supposed to take
with him from the academy. At least $50
is usually expended for civilian clothes. and
other items amount to SAT-. Other neces-
sary articles bring the total to $500, which
is the least amount the graduate should
have at his disposal in order that he may
not leave the academy in debt. The Navy
Department believes that the new arrange
ment will induce the mldshipmen to pay
more attention to their expenditures and
tend to cultivate the spirit of economy.

Both Corridors Omitted.

June "a, 1907, the president of the school
board replied that: ON motion the board Or
dered that both corridors be omitted, which
restored the assembly ball to the condition
originally intended by the architect and in
spector of buildings. but necessitated a
fourth revision of the plans. So that 1t will
be seen that the architect was not per
mitted to proceed with the plans until this
date and they were completed in August
and submitted to the inspector of build
ings. who has prepared the specifications for
printing and distribution. 1t requires about
two weeks to advertise, and, therefore, the
bids should be received in October.
IF the school board had not insisted on
the changes in the second set of plans.
which action they reversed in their letter
of May "a 1907, the plans would have been
completed last March and the work started
in April. But even under the most hurried
and unusual conditions the building could
not have been ready for occupancy this
fall. as 1t is a very large freproof structure
and will take nearly a year to build.
The law provides that school plans shall
be prepared under my supervision, and If l
had been permitted to prepare these plans
without the three changes required by the
board of education they would have been
ready for the market last January.
