Cheese, if fresh, is a rich proteid

eaten at all, except alone, in the

A DOG RACE.

The country bred dog is per Sc more

he look to the ground, save when L

No Bribery i'm British Politics.

From the day candidate is nomin-
atcd, or announces himself as an as
nirant, he must, in England, keep a
faithful record of his expense account.
1t has been publicly stated that be-
fore the conventions at Chicago and
Denver one of the candidates used
more than his salary In long-distance
telephoning to political leaders, and
that another aspirant spent $4,000
to reach all the conflicting factions OF
his party.
Whatever was spent, if we had the
English law, would have to be put
down in the catalogue of campaign
items.
Under the British election law a
proved case of bribery does not limit
the consequences to the political un-
derling and the wretched dupe. The
candidates Office is forthwith de-
clared vacant! Bribery, in conse-
quence, has passed out of British
politics

SLID DOWN MT. SHASTA.

Harry Glover, a blacksmith of Red
ding, met with an accident recently,
while making the ascent to Mt. Shas-
ia, that almost cost him his life. In
some way he lost his footing and fell
on the hard crust of the frozen snow
and fell down the precipitous noun
tain side for 1000 feet. In the effort
to save himself he was thrown over
and over, and received painful bruises
about the head, face and shoulders.
His left arm and leg are terribly
bruised, and almost aIf@the skin on
his arm was raked off. -
A party composed of Charles DON
ley, Harry Glover and Carl F. Witt
mar started for the base of the noun
tain from Dunsmuir. Bright and
early the start was made for the sum-
NIT. 1t was an ideal day for the
climb, and the trio made good time.
The accident happened almost in the
shadow of Thumb Rock. Harry
Glover fell, lost his alpine climbing
stick and shot down the mountain
like streak of lightning. 1t was
over so quickly that the other MEM
bers of the party scarcely realized
what had happened.
Bruised and bleeding as he was,
Harry Glover collected himself and
again started to regain the ground he
had lost by his toboggan-like slide.
His hurts were still fresh, and as
soon as he had warmed up gave him
but little trouble.
They reached the topmost pinnacle
of the mountain without further in
cident, and then retraced their steps,
this time seated astride their alpine
sticks. Long before nightfall they
were in Sisson, and it was not until
the journey had ended that Mr.. Glov-
er started, with the help of his COM
panions, to take an inventory of his
injuries.
His body was a mass of big and
little bruises, his face looked as If he
had been put out in the tenth round
of gruelling fight. With all his
painful injuries, he is very fortunate
in not having been killed.-Sacra-
mento Union.

CHAPTER XVI.
An Interview.

The moon had brave1y taken UP
her nightly task of sweeping clear
the heavens. But there was some
huge clouds that promised to strain
her cleansing powers to the utmost.
VINEYARD Mistley sat on the stone
sill of his bedroom window, ten feet
from the ground, with his legs dang
ling in the darkness, and listened
absently.
The scene was so lovely, the thou
sand night odors so sweet, that the
time slipped rapidly away, while the
watcher almost forgot to note its
passage. He had been sitting there
nearly half an hour, when at length
he heard the rustic as if some one
moving through the underwood upon
the slope down the stream. With
last whisper of admonition to Adonis,
he placed his two hands on the win
dow-sill and threw himself far out
into the darkness. He lighted softly
on the messy turf and crossed the
lawn.
His eyes were accustomed to the
darkness, and he could recognize the
form Of each stately tree, drawn in
sharp black filigree against the gray
sky. In the shadow. of the wall at
the foot of the long flight of steps he
soon discovered a tall figure leaning
against a tree, with the leisurely pa
thence of one who knows that his
waiting is not in vain.
For a moment 1t struck VINEYARD
that if this man had evil Intentions,
nothing would be easier than to
shoot him as he descended the steps
with the moonlight shining full upon
his face; but the thought was only
fieeting, and unit with any llkelt-
hood Of turning t. d fear.
AS the young Englishman ap-
preached, Ivan Meyer stepped for
ward, and, with an artists ever-pres-
ent love of harmless effect, raised
his hat and said:
Monsieur Mistley?"
VINEYARD was one of those unfortu-
nate people whose sense Of humor is
irrepressible-unfo because
it invariably strikes at the wrong
moment, and because the possession
of it makes one see deeper pathos
In everyday life than those whose
smile is slower. The incongruity Of
the whole affair suddenly forced it
self into VINEYARDS thoughts, and he
was thankful that his face was in the
shade as he raised his hat slowly and
coldly, with a truer knowledge of
dramatic effect than Ivan Meyer pos
sesse0.
81 am VINEYARD Mistley," he ex-
p1ained. "It is is, perhaps, my elder
brother with whom monsieur wishes
to converse"
It may have been that Meyer
thought he detected a slight shade OF
irony in the formality of his reply,
for he instantly dropped the cere-
monious mode of address in the
third person.
s'No, monsieur, it is yourself whom
7 seek" lie said with nervous hesi-
tation which did not fail to raise him
considerably in his companions estl-
nation. You will pardon my in
discretion, but I was hard pressed
before thought of assistance-you
can believe that?''
With characteristic foresight the
young Englishman began to wonder
how much money he had about his
person, as he bowed in acquiescence.
Instantly Ivan Meyer saw that his
words had been misconstrued, and
ne hastened to explain.
81 am here" he said in a tone
showing more self-assertion, "to ask

BALLOON ADVENTURES.

Thirty years with the balloons
Col. Templer's record-have not
passed without excitement. On one
occasion, when the balloon was ready
to ascend, a gust of wind caught her,
and pitched her against a gasometer.
Col. Templer was knocked uncon-
sclous to the bottom of the car, his
companion thrown out, and the bal
loon ascended with car ropes broken
on one side. Providentially the col
onel was caught under the seat, or
he must have followed the other Off
Ger. The bleeding at his mouth
caused by the blow of impact with
the gasometer revived consciousness,
and he awoke to find himself in an
from earth. Binding up his wound
as best he might, he managed to re-
attach the broken ropes and de-
scended safely to the ground.
The excitement over the appear
ance of a balloon was at one time so
great that it rendered the aeronauts
task doubly difficult. He was be-
tween the devil and the deep sea.
The balloon becoming heavy, he
deemed it necessary to descend, but
feared that the excitement of the
crowd would tear the balloon to
pieces. The problem presenting it.
self to Col. Templer, he descended
quickly in station yard, landed his
companion, and continued his voy-
age alone with a 1ightened car. The
astonishment of a carter who was
entering the yard at the time was
something to remember.
Col Templer's ingenuity has not
been solely expended on balloons.
The water main coupling acquired
by the army is his invention. An
amusing incident in connection with
it occurred sat the maneuvers. The
colonel, leaving a sergeant in charge,
had gone back to Aldershot. He was
recalled by telegram: Water
blocked, cannot do anything" Has
tening to the spot, the colonel bade
them pump till the water came.
There must be an obstruction some
where" he declared; pump 1t out"
So it was done, and there appeared
a broken umbrella which had evident
ly been dropped at the main and fall
en- in. The rush of the water when
the pumping started forced the um-
brella open and made an effective
barrier.-London P. T. o.
