THIS DOG a

AS Louis A. Menegeaux, of Union
Hill, N. j., was driving along he saw
a little girl held at bay by a brindle
bulldog. The terrified child crouched
in the angle of a stoop, while the ami
NAL growled and snapped at her an
kles, which she tried to protect with
her short skirt.
Mr.. Menegeaux dashed the dog with
his whip. The dog turned from the
girl and snarled at Mr.. Menegeaux.
The whip cut him across the mouth.
The snap of the whip startled the
horse, and as Mr.. Menegeaux tried to
quiet it the dog leaped into the buggy
and bit the drivers leg several times.
Then, when Mr.. Menegeaux tried to
beat him off, the dog seized his thumb.
The ferocious animal was muzzled, but
the strap was * loose that it did not
hamper his jaws.
AS Mr.. Menegeaux was struggling
with the horse, the dog was trying to
reach Mr.. Menegeaux's throat. A pass
erby seized ar empty barrel standing
on the sidewalk, and dropped it over
the dog.

Mountain climbers are restlessly
securing the earth for virgin heights
that yet remain to be scaled. 1t is
feared that the best peaks have been
conquered. Every climber wants to
be first-the Columbus Of a new sum-
NIT. A professional alpinist turns up
his nose at Mont Blanc and says there
are no elevations worth mentioning in
the United States. Europe, North and
South America, Asia and Africa have
been mostly done from the climbing
standpoint. In the tropics and the
polar regions the cloudy laurels have
been snatched from the loftiest peaks.
The trouble with the Rockies in
tho United States from the profess
sional standpoint is their accessibility.
Some of them are scaled by railroads.
However, there are some real peaks
in the Canadian Rockies which for
eign alpinists have condescended to
visit with n suitable outfit and to a
quish. These mountains are no higher
than Uncle Sans cloud splitters, but
their architecture is far more invit-
ingly suicidal. Mr.. Abbott. a member
of the Appalachian Mountain Club,
lost his life in 1905 While attempting
to make the summit of Mount LaiIoy
C1,220 feet), one of the Selkirk peaks
in Canada.
Within twenty-five years after the
formation of the English Alpine Club
in 1857, the best parts Of the Alps
were made quite stale and second
hand. In 1868 three members of the
club, Freshfeld. Tucker and Moore,
found a new field in the Caucasus,
making the first ascent OF Elbruz and
of Kasbek. From the standpoint of
the Caucasus, the new generation of
alpinists looked back on the Alps as
"a school for the art of climbing"
