PIXIES PEAK COMES DOWN.
Latest Official Figures Show Mountain
Is 14,109 Feet Hiqh.

Is 14,109 Feet High.
Pixies Peak Is decreasing in height,
retiring into the earth, says the Rocky
Mountain News, Of Denver. At least
the inference that the peak Is shrink
ing into the ground may be drawn
from figures recently published by the
United States geographical survey re-
mountain. Since Parry announced
the official height of Pixies Peak as
1926 feet, some time prior to 1884,
several other attitudes had been named
as official by various departments of
the Federal government, each show
ing a decrease in elevation. The lat
est official pronunciamento as to the
height Of Pixies Peak fixes the eleva-
ton at 14,109 feet. This is according
to a survey made last September.
The various Federal surveys Of the
country have been hitting the high
places during the last year, and their
work has resulted in shattering many
cherished traditions as to the extreme
elevation Of numerous peaks and ma
tional landmarks.
A most simple system Of leveling is
now employed by the geographical
survey in determining the altitude of
various points, the principles Of
which are the same as in use 1000
years ago, but the instruments are
vastly more accurate. All surveys to
determine altitude begin at point
whose elevation has been very care
fully predetermined and fixed and the
surveys are started from these points.

Rather Fioht Than Feed EN-.


When, at Gaines Mill, in 1862, the
Fifth Texas captured two whole reg
iments of Yankees, the Texas soldiers
were all very proud Of their achieve
ment ]. B. Policy was one of them,
and in his Soldiers Letters to Charm
ing Nellie" he describes an amusing
scene in connection with the surren-
der.
When the Yankee officers surrender
ed their swords in a body to Col. Up
ton they were so prompt in the duty
that he was compelled to lay down the
frying pan which he carried In place
of a sword, and hold the weapons pre-
sented in his arms.
Just then he noticed commotion at
the far end of the captured regiments.
That was near the timber, and a squad
of the prisoners were making an er-
fort to pass by big John Ferris OF
company B, VINO stood there unaided'
endeavoring to intercept them.
Springing up on log, the armful OF
swords dangling about In every dlrec-
ton, Upton shouted:
"You, John Ferris! What are you
trying to do now?"
I'm trying to keep these fellows
from escaping" returned Big John, In
a stentorian voice.
Let them go, you Internal fooi!

A Question of Enjoyment.

At a recent gathering Of ministers
of the gospel in Pittsburg, the liquor
question came in for goodly snare Oh
discussion. Among the out-of-toWn
delegates was a noted Georgia clergy
man who was scheduled to speak on
the saloon question. Previous to the
meeting one Of the local pastors upon
being introduced to the Georgian re-
marked:
"sWell DR.. Blank, believe you peo-
n,e enjoy statewide prohibition now,
do they not?"
NO" replied the Georgian, "they do
not"
The local man was somewhat sur
prised. but not feeling quite sure OF
his ground, let the matter rest. Later
in the day, however, when he had IN
formed himself on the excise law OF
the southern states. he took the Geor-
sian to task in the presence Of a num-
ber of his colleagues.
Doctor" said the local minister
What did you mean by telling me this
morning that your state did not have
statewide prohibition?'
my dear brother" replied the Geor-
gian, gravely, 81 told you nothing OF
the sort"
"Why-why." stammered the local
man, "you surely
"Nay." said the Georgian with a
twinkle, "you have forgotten your
question. You asked me If Georgia
enjoyed statewide prohibition.-Pitts-

proved to be wrong. Finally, at his
wits end, he said:

IA A Tartar lady at Hankow who
had founded a school for girls, was
unable to secure sufficient money for
carrying on the work of the institu
ton, says a writer in the Atlantic. In
order to secure her object, she deter
mined to commit suicide. In her
farewell letter, she stated that she
felt the need Of the school so much
that she would sacrifice her own life
and thus impress the need upon those
who were able to give money. Her
act had the result desired, as after
her death money came flowing in
from many sources. In most cases,
fortunately, the appeals for assist
ance are successful without going to
such extremes.

"And you, each gentle animal,
In confidence may bind,
And make it follow at your will,
IL YOU are only kind"


The internal evidence at our dispo-
sal certainly bears out Mary's state
ment. The lines she attributes to
Rollestone are clearly all of their own
type They are filled with the pure
Greek love Of beauty-the paganly ar
tistic spirit Of the poet Rollestone. The
Hale quatrains, on the contrary, are
vastly inferior. They seek to tag poe
try with a moral-to burden a thing
of beauty with lesson" Mrs. Hale
was a Calvanist, without doubt. She
was a doctrinaire. Rollestone, on the
contrary, was pure poet.
Further than that, 1t will be noted
that in the Rollestone lines the lamb
is always referred to as "he," while
the Hale stanzas describe the celebrat-
ed creature as "it," quite as though 1t
were an infant. As a matter Of fact,
we know now that the lamb was q
female, for Mary, in the interview al
ready referred to and sufficiently well
attested, states distinctly that the lamb
grew up to noble maturity, and when
she had become a regular sheep gave
birth to three lambs before she died
and was gathered to her fathers, long
and bitterly mourned by Mary.
The lamb, which never had a name
Of her own, being always known
throughout her long and useful life as
"Mary's Lamb" continued her bene-
ficence in a posthumous manner. For
when there was talk of tearing down
the Old South Church in Boston, Mary
gave a pair Of socks made from her
lambs wool to the committee engaged
in raising fund to save the church.
The socks were unravelled and the
yarn sold in little fragments for a to-
tai Of $17o. One such fragment, duly

Got Square.-A policeman In
country village where cases were
rare, one day came across his landlord
in an incapable state. The chance was
too good to be missed, so the land
lord was summoned and fined to the
amount Of las. Cd.
The fine was paid, but the police
mans feelings can be better imagined
than described when, on reaching
home, he found his rent had been rails
ed sixpence per week, and so 1t con-
tinued for twenty-nine weeks, when
the landlord coolly informed him that
"he had paid the fine, and could have
his house at the former rent."-Tit-
