Climbing Mount Rlul.

/ want to tell you of an experience |
had In Switzerland. 1t was around
Easter time in the year 1905, when
we were at Lucerne. One day mother
told my brother, sister and myself
that we would climb Mount Rigi. OF
course, we were all delighted, and We
started at o'clock in the morning. 1t
was not very hard climb up the first
part Of the mountain, but pretty soon
we came to where there was snow,
and from there it began to grow hard
er.
At last we reached as high as we
could go because the snow became so
deep that 1t shut out the paths and
we stopped at hotel near the top. Af-
ter getting our luncheon we strolled
around to place where we could get
a good view of the scenery. We saw
several mountains, including the Jung
frau, and no less than eight lakes. It
was after 8 o'clock when we started
the descent, and we reached our hotel

hear about bluejay that l found. 1t
was in winter and quite lot of ice
and snow was on the ground. The
poor birds beak was stuck to the ice.
He was almost dead when found him.
I brought him in the house and my
brother got a box and we set 1t on the
radiator with him in it.
We thought he would die, but soon
he was SO lively mamma had to put
Stats on the box so he could not get
out When l came home from school

on the roof, took off the stats and let
him fly away. He seemed - be glad
to go, but he came to our house every

Little Oracle and Granny.

Say, mamma. why can't l have a
granny"
The question was asked by little
Oracle Donivan Of her mother.
The two were sitting beside the
cheerful CRATE fire discussing the
events of the afternoon. Oracle had
attended birthday party given by her
friend, Nellie Thompson, and there she
had seen Nellie's dear old grand
mother whom the Thompson children
called granny" And as the dear old
granny had told the children many
interesting stories during the party, it
had occurred to Oracle that it would
be nice for her to have granny for
the fact is Oracle did not understand
the exact relationship of a granny"
She knew what grandmothers and
grandfathers were, but she had never
before met with a granny" So the
question to her mother
why, darling, a grandmother is Of
ten called granny" explained Mrs.
Donivan. Your own grandmothers
are both living, as you know, and they
are your grannies. dear"
But they are not real, sure-enough
grannies," declared Oracle MY
Grandmother Donivan is always so tall
and fine and talks so grand and wears
a diamond brooch and black silk
gown and real lace. And she never
romps with me or tells me stories. She
says l should not ask questions when
l begin to want her to tell me about
things. And she says children's noise
makes her nervous. No. mamma, my

SUDAN ARABS DUELo.
Where Pastoral Life Doesn't Always
Lead to Peace and Quiet.

The country TO the southeast Of Te-
kar is the home Of the Hasas the
Hadendoas occupy the khors to the
south and the plateau to the south.
west. Both of these are black Arabs,
speaking different languages.
The Hasas live almost entirely on
sour milk, while the Hadendoas are
agricultural as we'll as pastoral. Their
dokhn and durra, milletlike grains,
were ripening in February and being
protected from countless swarms OF
small birds by men who stood on ele-
waited platforms, from which they
cracked loudly large whips with palm
leaf lashes twenty feet long.
The dress Of these Arabs is a cotton
sheet held in by belt in which they
carry crooked knives. For other
weapons they use sticks, spears and
swords. Firearms are prohibited.
Judging by the many scars borne by
the men the pastoral life is by no
means so peaceful as the poets would
lead us TO think. Many of the scars
come from duels, in which the men
stand face to face and cut each other
alternately in the back till one cries

Rather Have Half.

The difference between common
sense and mathematics was illustrated
In a remark which was made in a
school one day.
1t was the mental arithmetic class.
The master asked Smith, (Which
would you rather have, half an apple
or eight-sixteenths of an apple?"
wouldn't make any difference"
said Smith
why not?"
"Eight-sixteenths and one-half are
the same"
At this reply, Jones, who was sit
ting near, shifted scornfully. The mas.
ter heard him.
well, JONES'" said he, don't you
agree with Smith,"

sooner have one-half an apple"
"And why, please?"
More juice. Cut up half an apple
into eight-sixteenths, and you'd lose
half the juice doing it!"-Children's

Through the Storm.

The final rupture came two years
after their marriage. Emily in rebel
lious anger told her husband that she
would no longer live in the same house
with his mother. You must choose
between u.s. she said, her splendid
voice vibrating with all the unleashed
emotion of her being, yet with no fall
tering in it. IF she stays CO.
Stephen Fair, harassed and bewil-
deerd, was angry win the relentless
anger Of patient man, reused at
last.
60, them he said sternly, "Tll never
turn my mother from my door for any
woman's whim."
The stormy red went out Of Emilys
face, leaving it like a marble mask.
You mean that?' she said, calmly.
Think well. If go l shall never re-
turn
Il do mean it." said Stephen. Leave
my house If you WILL if you hold your
marriage vow so lightly. When your
senses return you are welcome TO come
Without another word Emily turned
away. That night she went back TO
John and Amelia. They, on their part,
welcomed her back gladly, believing
her to be wronged and i'll used wo-
man. They hated Stephen Fair with
a new and personal rancor. The one
that they could hardly have forgiven
Emily would have been the fact of her
relenting toward him.
But she did not relent. In her soul
she knew that with all her just griev-
ances, she had been in the wrong, and
for that she could not forgive him.
Two years after she had left Steph-
en-, Mrs. Fair had died, and his wild
owed sister went to keep house for
him. If he thought of Emily he made
no sign. Stephen Fair never broke a
word once passed
And now Stephen was i'll. The
strange woman felt certain pride in
her own inflexibility because the fact
did not affect her. She told herself
that she could not have felt more un-
concerned had he been the merest
stranger. Nevertheless she watched
for John Phillipses homecoming
At 10 O'Clock she heard his voice in
the kitchen. She leaned out of bed
and pulled open the door. She heard
voices below, but could not distinguish
the words, so she rose and went noise
Iessly out into the hall, ,,knelt down by
the stair railing and listened. The door
of the kitchen was open below her and
a narrow shaft of light struck on her
white, intent face. She looked like a
woman waiting for the decree of doom.
At first John and Amelia talked of
trivial matters. Then the latter said
abruptly, did you ever hear how
Stephen Fair was?"
Hes dying" was the brief response.
Emily heard Amelia's startled ex-
clamation. She gripped the square
rails with her hands until the sharp
edges dented deep into her fingers.
Johns voice came up again, harsh and
expresslonless.
"He took a bad turn the day before
yesterday and has been getting worse
ever since. The doctors don't expect
him to live till morning."
Stephen, her husband-dying, In
the bursting anguish of that moment
her own soul was an open book before
her. The love she had buried rose
from the deeps Of her being in an aw-
full accusing resurrection.
Out of her stupor and pain purpose
formed itself dearly. She must go to
