When Miss Peck climbed Haus Carap

measured scientifically for 1860 feet,
While the rest, about 5000 feet. she

herself and the Peruvians.
Now | do not see how Miss Pecks

is 23,300 feet on M Kun in the Hima-
layas, and this has been measured
scientifically by the official surveyors
OF India. Acongagua, in South Amer
lea, which has been measured scienti
fically as 22,S00 feet high is, l believe,
the highest peak scaled by Miss Peck
of which scientific estimate has
been taken.'
Mrs. Workman is a woman of me-
dunn height, with almost white hair.
The most recent great peak scaled
by Mrs. Workman was that which she
called "Diafo watershed" The crest
OF this mountain is at the junction of
China, Russia and India, with an alti-
tude of $1,000 feet.

WHEN THE WOMAN BALkED.

A Spokane, Wash, woman, Mrs.
John Lester Mann in filing a petition
for divorce outlined the following
as sample of her daily program for
four years past:
Rise at o'clock a. m.
Exercise with cross-cut saw on a
pile of logs.
Get breakfast for a threshing crew
of thirty men, each possessed of a
healthy appetite
After breakfast:
Plant potatoes and other chores:
Clean the barn and chop wood for
the cook stove.
Load several wagons with sacked
grain to take to market.
Cook dinner for thirty threshermen,
with appetites as mentioned.
Afternoon recreation:
Butcher hogs and make sausage.
Chores and wood chopping, also
milking dozen COWS.
Prepare supper for the same crew
of hungry harvesters and clean the
house.
Evening at home
Darn socks, make bread and do

on pallet of straw on the floor of the
cook house.
There are many men, and they do
not all live in the country, who are
just as inconsiderate of their wives as
this man was. But they are not
wholly to blame. A woman who would
go through a grind like this when she
had stove poker or a rolling pin
within easy reach with which to edu-
cate a tyrannical husband can't ex-
pect much sympathy.

AS an Indication that Germany is
taking the question of aerial nayiga-
ton seriously, it is announced that by
May, 1910, Germany will have digibles
and aeroplanes carrying passengers
between Berlin and the principal cities
of the empire. 1t is not expected. the
promoters state, to make money from
the start, but the hope is entertained
that it will be possible to cover ex-
penses from the tourist and other
travel. 1t doesn't look like so much
of venture after all. The way the
people today have been educated to
risk their lives on amusement devices
at the summer parks they should not
balk long at airships.

A Chicago judge in resenting the
insinuation that the bench is respon-

clares that more criticism should pc

said. For instance, 1 had call Of
100 cases today. OF this number 81

SEALS SHORTSTOP
MADE A GREAT PLAY

Followers of the Pacific Coast
league are still talking about a play
the like of which they never saw and
never, expect to see again unless the
same player pulls it off.
Rollo Zeider, the San Francisco
hortstop. who goes to the Chicago
White Sox for $500, and a player
or two, pulled off the play that has
kept San Francisco fans talking for
the past week.
The San Francisco Bulletin de-
scribes the play. Zeider was on Sec
ond and Griffin on third. and runs
were needed to put the Seals on easy
street. The batter threw up the
squeeze signal. Griffin caught it, and
as soon as the ball left the hands Of
the pitcher he started for home.
The batter missed the ball and 1t
was clear as day that Griffin was a
dead one. Griffin saw he was in a
trip. AS soon as he was able he
he retreated tothird, where Zeider
was holding forth.
When within a few feet Of the bag
Griffin turned about and started for
the plate again, all the time hoping
that some one would execute a wild
peg and that he would score. He
hoped in vain, but 10 and behold, his
antics scored Zeider anyhow. But
how?
When Griffin came back 10 third
Hogan caught the ball and started af-
ter the runner Griffin set out pell-
NELL for the plate. 1t was a hot race
between them. All this time Zeider
was racing right behind Hogan, but
Hogan didn't know this. Hogan over
took Griffin just before he reached
the plate and tagged him. Hardly
had the bali been put on Griffin
when Zeider dashed by Hogan and
scored. II was tho greatest piece of
base running ever seen on a San
Francisco diamond. The fans went

LORD OF HIGH NOBILITY, prince,

legal means against large sum Of
money. Send offers to A. M. L., 1O5,

Detailed information concerning the
identity Of the lord Of high nobility Is
unobtaInable, but the dlrectness Of
the advertisement leads to the con-

the present holder to unload. although
the bulls are confirmed in their posi-
tion by the fact that the present ad-
vertiser insists that a large sum of
money must be exchanged for the title.
The title market has not been
bearish in some time, spectators said
last night, but then, it has been some
time since such a large block as is
comprised in "a lord of high, nobility
prince and duke" has been thrown on
the market. There seems to be some
doubt as to just how a prince by right
of purchase will fit into the general
scheme of things, but some adventur-
Gus person may make the experiment
and find out.
