Wethel Held to Stempel's Hand With
Grim Desperation.

They took a short rest, and started
down toward st. Pierre, Grande Char
treuse: but mistook their way and
suddenly found themselves On the
brink of a precipice.
Stempels foot slipped and he fell
over the brink, but not before Wethel
managed to seize him by the hand. At
the same time Fischer also fell over
but, fortunately, dropped on a rocky
ledge only a short distance below.
Wethel held to Stempers hand with
grim desperation, and, rather than let
his unfortunate comrade fall, he main
tanned his grasp until he himself was
pulled over the brink of the preci'
pice. ....
Both men fell distance. Of between
twenty and thirty feet, rebounded on
the rugged wall of the precipice, and
rolled down to the bottom Of the ra'
vine below.
Wethel escaped with slight in.
juries to his thigh, but Stempels
skull was fractured, and one of his
feet was terribly crushed. Wethel
did his best to revive him with cold

A SEWING Rug.

For those who must sew, but who
have no sewing room, there is a plan
by which the sewer can save the time
and labor that she formerly spent in
tidying I'D the room after she has fin
ished each night.
Buy five yards of denim and cut 1t
into two pieces. Join these together
so as to form square, and hem the
raw edges.
Lay this square on the floor and set
the machine on 1t.
All threads, scraps and rawlings
can be dropped on this, and when the
sewer has finished for the day the
machine can be covered and rolled Off
the denim and the denim can be gath
cred UP and shaken.

Brick and Tile company. The list OF
all those built of the product of the

There is a reason for the fact that
a large percentage of the brick now

quality Of brick that resisted, by actual
test, 5,672 pounds pressure to the square
inch. And, secondly. the brick is han
died, as well as manufactured, at a
low cost, for the plant is on both the
Southern Pacific main line and on the
shore of Carquinez straits. The low
price the company is able to quote is
as much Of an inducement to builders
as the unexcelled quality OF the brick.
The property at Eckley. which is 80
miles from san Francisco. and mid
way between Crockett and Port Costa,
covers 400 acres. of ground, and has
a water front of 1850 feet There
is a side track 720 feet long, which
runs TO within 80 feet of the kilns,
