FINDING MEN IN sNoWsLlBEs
Efficacious in Saving Many
Lives.

Eli Smith is credited with having
saved the lives of % men at Sheep
Camp in the spring of 1898 at the time
of the great snowslide on the Dyea
trail. 1t will be recalled, says the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer, that 63 men
were killed by the slide, most of them
suffocating before rescuers could
reach them. Smith was on the trail
several miles below the slide. He came
tragedy and found the survivors fran
tically trying to dig the victims out.
Give me that stick said Smith to
q man who had fiat lathlike piece of
wood in his hand.
The stick was turned over to Smith,
who Immediately Whitfield the end SO
that he could insert it in his mouth
and grasp it firmly with his back
teeth. Then he thrust the stick in the
snow and held the end in his mouth,
apparently listening. He repeated the
operation at several points in the
slide Finally he shouted:
Come! Dig here, quick!"
At depth of nine feet the rescuers
took out three men, unconscious, but
alive Those three men recovered
and were all right by morning.
In the same manner Smith pointed
out other places, which resulted in the
locating of many bodies and the IN
covering in all of % men whose lives
were saved.
Where did you learn that trick?"
Smith was asked, the other day.
81 learned that in Idaho, at Wood
river" said he. "The Indians know
that trick. l guess a wire would be
better than a stick, but they don't
keep wire in stock out in the wilds,
so Indians always use a stick. You
see if Teller is alive you can sort Of
hear him breathe, or l guess it's moro
like feeling him breathe. If he is
kicking or moving around you can
hear him plain. You just put the stick
down into the snow two or three feet
and you can hear a Teller breathing,
even if he's 20 feet further down

WHAT is lT2
A Query as to the Difference Between
Two Dairy Cows.

Two COWS stand side by side in the
stable. To both COWS the same ration
is fed yet one will extract from that
food as much again butterfat as the
the other. The butter product of the
food is 100 per cent. greater with one
COW that the other. This fact is seen
in too great frequency in all herds of
cows. What is that inner quality
whereby one cow can produce so much
more than the other from the same
food? 1t is hard to find the right
name for it, but it may be called
dairy quality" Now, certain breeds
of cattle are distinguished for this
quality. They have the power to ac-
complish this work in greater pro-
portion and perfection by reason OF
having been bred to that purpose from
long lines of ancestors of like quality.
One would think that there would not
be a dairy farmer in the land who
would not be keenly alive to the neces-
sity and economy of using such cattle
for dairy purposes. AS soon would
we think he would cut hay with
reaper and call 1t the best way
But the so-called general purpose
notion has destroyed in not few men
the power to look into this question
in an economical way, says Hoard's
Dairyman. They seem to be unable
to take the same advantage in their
choice of COW machinery that they do
in choosing their mechanical machin-
cry. They cannot be fooled into TAX
ing a pillow for a cultivator, yet thou
sands of farmers will spend their lives
in trying to make cows of beef-breed-
ing do dairy work. If they were close
students of cause and effect they
would not be beguiled this way.
Why should not the farmer be a
close student of cause and effect?

"Thfs was merely the mistake of
commercialized America. These New
Workers thought, in their simple way,
that money could pay for anything.
Yet / found them warm hearted and
altogether lovable, just as all other
Americans are. When they can be
halted for a few moments in their
mad pursuit of gold they have admir-
able natures, find.
"The trouble with America is that it
is building on a material plane. 1t
is making tremendous progress in all
things material, but we of the Orient
understand the spiritual. We live not
for to-day, but for all time, and when
you forget the soul, as you do, you are
making a sad mistake. Your modern
'Churchianity' is spelling your Chris
tianity. Your ministers of the gospel
want more spirituality. They do not
elevate themselves above the level of
the visible, material world. Your
much Wanted progress counts for
naught.
''You look at life on the surface;
we of the Orient look at it in it's depth,
in the cool and quiet places, where
there is no turbulence and no mad
scramble. America is afflicted with
national nervousness, as | call it. In
certain directions you call it frenzied
finance. 1 see it in every phase of
life. I observe it where you do not
suppose it exists.
I'm India religion is the chief bust
ness of life. All else is subordinate.
It is the true anchor of the Hindu. In
the morning he arises, and after his
bath he gives up two hours to spirit
ual thought and contemplation-at
least two hours. Then he looks after
the needs of his body. All else is sub
ordinate to this reverence for the
Creator and those things which typify
and represent Him.
christianity, in it's teachings, is
sublime. | preach Christ as much as
I do my Krishna, who represents to
me the great incarnation of God. God
is love, as Christ says, and that is all
there is to any religion. The Bible,
which I respect and love, is merely a
page from the Vedas of India. They
contain all it's truths, and more.
''But you can see only your own
religion. I can see the good of all.
When I became an ascetic in India I
lost my nationality and became citi-
zen of the Universe. love all people.
When I was in London, even, | felt a
deep heart interest in the Briton,
even though he is depressing my peo-
pie.
1.-THE wine maker calls out: I have
the best wines' The soap maker
calls out: My soap is the best!' The
minister: There is no religion like
unto mine!' 1t is pitiful. Christianity

She disappeared hastily, relieved
to escape from the clerks astonished

In telling the story afterward to. a
friend she said that she spent fully
ten minutes walking up and down the
block in front of the building, trying
desperately to recall the lost name.
At the end of that time she gave up

at first intended, to dig the necessary

race in spirituality in the time to
come. | went to England and found
the English too self-satisfied and SNUG
Iy contented with themselves to re-
ceive my message.
But Americans yet are children
from the spiritual viewpoint. Your
minister who taught only spirituality
would be boycotted.
81 know your literature and I love
it. What is there finer in language
than Irving? Mark Twain is the
greatest living writer in the world
His Following the Equator is a won
derful book Through his works, in
his humor, there runs that thread of
the spiritual that places him high
among the great men of letters.
"But to turn to another phase of
modern conditions. You in your
materialistic progress have given the
Orient implements of destruction,
while through all the ages we gave
you naught but peace. These weap-
ons of warfare the Oriental, imper-
sonated by the Japanese, turned upon
the Russian, and the result was war
the like of which is unknown in his
tory-not a single reverse for the men
of Nippon. Those same Japanese, with
reawakened China even greater than
japan. and India at the back of both,
are going to show the world conflict
that will make all others pale in COM
parison.
America wants to exploit the whole
world, but would shut out foreigners
from her borders. Is it not likely that
foreign nations will retaliate? And
then what answer can America make?
"The Mikado is one of the greatest
rulers any nation has produced in
modern times. When, ten years be-
fore the war with Russia, Japan was
deprived of the fruits of her victory
over China by the European powers
the Mikado said nothing, but complied
with apparently good grace. Then he
quietly prepared to punish Russia as
the most hated of those powers.
Future events will come about in
this way: President Roosevelt will
suggest to Japan that an exclusion
treaty be signed preventing Japanese
of the lower classes from entering
America. This will not meet with
favor on the other side Of the Pacific,
but a storm will arise here which will
force through congress some sort Of
an exclusion measure.
''The Mikado will still hold his
peace, but soon after he will frame a
message to be sent to Washington,
reading something like this:
"'You have found it necessary for
the protection Of your working classes
to exclude Japanese from your borders.
After careful consideration we find
that our country will be benefited by
prohibiting the entry of American
trade, and a decree is hereby promul-
gated
