Story Of the Climb as Told by the
Tourist and the Guide.

Story of the Climb as Told by the
Tourist and the Guide.
HE was touring the Bernese Ober
land. At the Bear hotel in Grindewald
q mountaineer sat in the hall, a glass Of
beer before him and his feet, in their
hobnailed mountain boots, extended to.
ward the fire. The mountaineer had
just made an ascent of the Tiger. and
he talked like this about it:
"'Well, well, well, a climb indeed
four hours Of incessant step cutting
with an ak on an ice slope as smooth
as glass and as steep as a wall. Look
at this bunch Of edelweiss. l spied it
on the edge Of a dreadful precipice.
Ny guide refused to let me pluck it;
said it was madness. Fol his part, he
would not risk his life so foolishly.
But at last, what with eloquence and
an offer of 200 francs, l persuaded him
to come along. The advance was awful.
One misstep meant death. But l Sc
cured the flower, when suddenly the
guides foot slipped, he fell and began
to roll toward the edge. But l thrust
my AK firmly into the ice and, bracing
myself, seized the rope that bound us
together, and-the man was saved.
"And at the same time in the hoteI
kitchen the guide was giving another
version of the ascent in words like
these:
"'Well, well, what a customer! An
other like that chap and l give up the
business. From the start he was faint
and dizzy. In fact, wherever any rea.
climbing, began we had to carry hin
like a sack Of meal. And mean! Re
fused us a single penny extra for al
our extra trouble. Last of all, he beg
ged for the sprig of eidelweiss ! wore
in my hat, and I was fool enough to le
him have it.'"-New York Times.

BUY YOUR COAL.
To u Patrons:

To our Patrons:
Owing to the car shortage,
which is bound to come this fall,
we advise buying the winter sup
ply of coal early. Don't put it
off, as the delay may prove a
hardship on all. We will .endea-
yer to keep a good supply of all
kinds of fuel at all times, but ow-
ing to lack of shed room we are
unable to ship in sufficient hard
coal to supply the trade unless
some of our patrons, buy early.
Come in and let us figure with
you for your winters supply of
hard coal. We guarantee our
price to be as low as the lowest.

Fresh Water From tho Ocean.

Manama. the principal port of the
Bahrein islands, the center Of the
pearl fisheries. gets its fresh water
from the ocean. Visitors often note
boats anchored a few hundred yards
from the shore. the boatmen engaged
in drawing fresh water from springs
at the bottom of the sea. These springs
well up strongly at a considerable
depth, and the entire water supply
of the town is obtained from them.
The fresh water is procured in two
w~ays-either in a goatskin water bag,
which a diver takes down with him
and carefully closes before bringing it
to the surface, or by letting down long
hollow pipes Of bamboo, weighted at
the lower end, through which the
water rises up uncontaminated to the
surface.-Argonaut.

Casualties Expected.

During one of Speaker Cannon's bit
ter political fights in his district in Illi-
nois the opposition resorted to desper-
ate tactics. Among other things friends
of Uncle Joe were summarily dismiss
ed from positions they held in the pub
lie service. Some of his friends be-
came alarmed at this, and n of them
called on the speaker at his residence
and said, somewhat excitedly:
"Joe, Smith and Jones have just lost
their positions in the %postof1ce. What
are we going to do about it,"
Uncle Joe took another puff at his
cigar and then answered, with a benev-
client smile: Nothing. If you 60 into
battle, you have got to expect to have
some dead and wounded"

Knew Thorn at Once.

The vicar appointed to a living in an
old English village was anxious to re-
store his church. On either side Of
the porch were grotesque, not to say
hideous, faces that had become almost
hidden. The vicar had these ancient
faces worked up until their features
were made distinct. Then he took a
very old lady of the parish to see
them and jokingly asked if she could
tell him who they were. "Why, bless
my heart, sir" said she, peering at the
old ornaments. otis you and your good

Won Rulowt and Sarcastic.

In one of his letters Won Bulow re-
fers to Sarasate as follows: HE has
enchanted me beyond measure, par
ticularly in his concert Of yesterday,
when he played a splendid work,
Symphonic Espagnole.' by Lalo-
played in so genuinely artistic a man
ner that today l am still intoxicated
with it. His playing also of the Saint
Saens concert piece for violin is as en-
trancing as interesting. 1t is a shame
that he cannot come to see me. N. B.
Il have purposely avoided his person
al acquaintance. PerhC1s he has tried
to see me. for over my door stands the
notice:
"M~ornings-not to be seen.
Afternoons-not at home.
"But perhaps he did not ring the
bell. Gle w plays under 1000
francs-he received this sun here at a
private musicale.9 For secretary he
has Otto Goldschmidt, who sen me a
pass, which l returned with the re-
mark that for such an important con-
cert l could certainly afford to buy my
ticket. Six marks was in no way too
much to pay"
Bulow did make his acquaintance,
however, as he refers in a later letter
to Sarasate coming, quite unexpected
ly, to a conference with johannes
(Brahms), at which he himself was
present.

| Next Sunday is to be the begin
ming of a great forward movement
for the Christian churches in Texas,
! in that the endowment movement is
to be inaugurated. Mr.. Chalmers Nc
! Pherson, for twenty-three years pas
tor of Waxahachie Christian church.
| and one of the prime movers in every
| forward movement of the church
with which he stands identified, is
| to enter the field.
| In 1873 ]. A. Clark and his sons,
Addison and Randolph, opened ia
! private school in the village of
Thorp Springs. This was soon after
ward chartered under the name of
| Add-Ran college. The growth of the
! institution was such that it was too
| great to be operated as a private en-
terprise, and in 1889 it became the
property of the Christian churches
| of Texas, the name being changed to
fAdd-Ran Christian University. Addi-
fson and Randolph Clark continued
as president and vice president, re-
| spectively, and the school maintain
! ed its reputation for scholarly in
fstruction and for wholesome moral
and religious influence. In 1895 the
university was removed to Waco
and established in four-story brick
building, which had been erected by
the Methodist church for use as a
female college, but which they de-
cided not to operate. The growth of
the school was, after removal, for
a time retarded, but steadfast men
and women stood by it. Prominent
among these was Thornton E. Shir-
ley, now of Hereford and president
and chairman of the board of trus-
tees. The Clark brothers resigned
their positions to accept other work,
and different men succeeded each
other as the head of the institution.
The present successful president is
Clinton Lockart, A. NJ, Phi. d. He Is
assisted by very superior faculty.
The university maintains six col
leges and schools, in addition to the
preparatory school. Four large and
well equipped buildings are now on
the large campus, in addition to the
natatorium and gymnasium The in
stitution owns it's steam heating and
electric lighting plant. The attend
ance is increasing every year, and
the work is exceedingly satisfactory.
The one thing needful is endowment
and to undertake this work Chal-
mers Mcpherson has resigned his

TRINITY SHUT OUT.
Baylor Did Not Permit Home Team
10 Score Friday.

~ '''''' t'shf
The last game between Baylor and
Trinity on the local field was played
Friday afternoon before a lively
crowd, composed mostly of Trinity
students. Baylor was again the victor
of the game by a score of 4 to 0.
From the way Trinity started off
it looked as though they would be
winners, but alas, there was nothing
for them. When hits meant runs
they failed to connect with the
horsehide. For three innings there
was some pretty playing, but again
in the fourth and fifth innings Bay
lor landed on the sphere for six safe
hits and netted four runs, the only
scores of the game. Templeton seem
ed to have all the steam" required
but Baylor soon got onto his speed
and hit him almost at will. Will
ey, for Baylor had Trinity at his
mercy. However, he is no stick-out
! pitcher but uses his head and let's
them hit the ball only into some
ones hands.
| The two teams are evenly matched
as to fielding, but Baylor does swat
the sphere and this is where the
game was lost for Trinity, also con-
nected with some five errors. Baylor
has seven left-handed batters and
they drive the horsehide for nice
clean hits. Trinity should improve
her hitting in some way and try and
