Manager Gould said: What was probably
the most exciting hill climb ever held in
America took place on Mount Morrison,
near Denver, Colo, Sunday. The chief
laurel winner of the day was William
Thonney in a Ford Model T car, who won
the free-for-all and made the fastest time
in the class events.
Although the course was only one and
seven-sixteenth miles in length, yet in that
distance the cars had to ascend 1000 feet,
and 1t is the last part of the climb that is
the most difficult and also the most danger
Gus. The mountain rises percipitately at
that point and. In order to make the ascent,
eight switchbacks have been made in the
road in the last 1900 feet, and in this
short distance the rise is 265 feet. Until
the cars reached the switohbacks they pro-
ceeded without trouble.

Aside from the satisfactory performance
Of good car. there is perhaps nothing
more satisfying to the average motorist
than a large mileage record to the credit
OF his tire equipment. Many automobile
owners take a great deal OF interest in
keeping q, speedometer record OF their tire
mileage.
One Of the most recent instances OF ex-
tremely large mileage, in part OF the
country where the roads are usually none
too good, is reported by William Baker of
Goats, Kan. One of the Diamond tires on
Mr. Bakers car ran 1850 miles and another
1855 miles. The Diamond on the left rear
wheel ran ll,0S7 miles on the original air.

CHAMELEONS.

Chameleons can be kept alive for
years by making frame to fit over a
plant in a flowerpot and covering 1t
with mosquito netting, which must
be long enough to tie with string
about the pot. Keep the pot in the
sunniest window and water the plant
every day through the netting. You
will be surprised to see how eagerly
the little creatures will drink the run
ming water after they get over their
fear. Set a wire f1ytrap for flies,
which you can liberate under the net
ting. The chameleons will not be
backward about helping themselves.
In winter they do not require much
food, but will relish meal worm Oc-
casionally on sunny days. Meal
worms can sometimes be got at the
grain stores for the asking, or Can be
purchased at the bird stores, or
small spiders can be found in cracks
and crannies, asleep for the winter;
they may be frozen stiff if found out
of doors, but they revive in a warm
room.
Chameleons enjoy place to sleep
in nights and winters. Take a piece
of red flannel four inches wide and
eight inches long; roll it over stick
as large around as your finger, and
sew it while on the stick so it will not
come unwound; then slip off and run
a wire through it long enough to sus-
no0d if from one of the branches on
the plant. The chameleons will crawl
into this cosy bed and so to Sleep

lower edges. This causes the bottom
of the box to fall out except at the
four corners, which form the feet. Ii
you leave the bottom in there it makes
the bed stronger.
AS you see, the lower edges are not
cut very far from the floor. II your
box is eight inches long and four
inches deep less than one inch is sufti-
cient to cut away the lower edge.
The upper end of the bed is left
high to make the headboard. 1t has
panels drawn or painted to make 4
design. The footboard is cut Off
about half an inch to make a differ
ence between it and the headboard.
The sides are cut down about two
inches, as shown in the design. This,
in the size box referred to, leaves
about an inch of cardboard along the
sides
The springs to hold the mattress
are made of a piece of cardboard not
quite so wide as the bed and enough
longer to turn over at both ends and
stand on the floor, not quite so high
as the sides of the bed. To turn the
end run a knife lightly over the card
board, but do not cut half way
through. The board will then bend
easily The springs or mattress sup
porter is then placed inside the bed
and stands on its ends, reaching al
most to the top of the sides.
You may find difficulty in cutting
the cardboard. II so, after you have
drawn the lines for cutting take a
large darning needle, or the point of
knife will do, and make holes on the
line all along. You will then be able
to cut out the design very easily. OF

The IRek,

During the past few years some.
predatory Welshmen have tried to rob
st. David of the homely, but whole
some, vegetable with which he is as
sociated. They assert that the real
emblem of Wales is not the leek, but
the daffodil But the daffodil, out
side the Scilly Islands, seldom bios
SONS so early as st. David's day,
while the wild leek grows profusely
around the coast of South Wales.
From an esthetic point of view the
leek is delightful plant, well worthy
of the vegetarian saint, and by no
means so malodorous as Pistol calam-
itously maintained. 1t was largely
upon leeks that the Pharaohs fed the
unhappy laborers who built the Pyra-
mids. Works of reference erroneous
ly state that the emblem of the prin-
cipality has received no recognition at
court since the reign of George II.
Queen Alexandra, when Princess of
Wales, wore a leek at the drawing
room which was held on st. David's
day in 1SS2.-London Chronicle.

TWO BEARS.

To deal with living grizzlies, ad
and to be the first man to domesticate
them, was the life history of James
Capen Adams, writes Mr.. w. H.
Wright, in the "Grizzly Bear" The
story of Adams career is told in a
book entitled, THE Adventures of
James Capen Adams, Mountaineer
and Grizzly Bear Hunter of Cali
fornia."
1t was on Adams first expedition,
somewhere in Eastern Washington,
that, having shot an old grizzly that
was followed by two yearling cubs,
and having, after many difficulties
and repeated failures, captured the
youngsters, he came into possession
of Lady Washington" destined
henceforth to be his companion and
servant
She was already old enough to re-
sent the restriction of her liberty, and
it was not until he had supplemented
kindness with discipline that she ac-
cepted her new position in the scheme
of life
From that time to this" Adams
says, 'she has always been with me;
and often has she shared my dangers
and privations, borne my burdens and
partaken Of my meals. The reader
may be surprised to hear of a grizzly

quite small for the paper dolls, but it
may be as large as you wish for the
others. 1t should be about half as
high as it is long and about three
quarters as wide as it is long. The
width does not make so much dlfer-
ence, since you may have double or
a single bed, but the height is impor-
tant. 1t is all right to have the box
more than half as high as it is long,
because you may cut off as much as
YOU like, but if it is less than half as
high it will not be satisfactory and
you would best wait to get another
box.
Remove the lid of the box and cut
a design after the pattern marked out
by the dotted lines in the illustration.
Before cutting out the design you
should draw lines to show exactly
where the cut to be made. To
make the lii.u- ght put the box
over the end of a piece of board or
put a book inside, so that you may
draw the line steadily. Use a ruler
and be sure your line is straight.
AS you will see by the illustration,
you cut out the lower edges of the
box to make feet. A piece is cut out
from all four sides of the box on the

course after it is cut out some SmOOtn
ing of the edges will be necessary.
You may wish to color the bed with
crayon or water color, and this will
make it more attractive, although a
white or brown box makes a better
bed without being colored.
A mattress to fit the bed may be
made of number of thicknesses OF
newspapers. There should be enough
of the newspaper to make the mat
tress come up to the top Of the sides
of the bed. When the mattress has
been made cut the sheets from plain
white paper. Fairly thick white pa
per is best, but this is sometimes diff
ficult to get in pure white, such as
should be used for bed linen. Tissue
paper will do if you cannot get the
thicker white paper large enough.
If you use tissue paper first cover
the newspaper mattress with it, SO
that the black will not show through.
The sheets are long enough to tuck
in at top and bottom and sides.
After the sheets have been made
you may make the pillows. These
may also be made of newspaper. The
pair of pillows should be large enough
to fit exactly in at the head of the
bed. Cover them with white paper,
using mucilage to make the pillow
cases. Then have shams of the paper
also, with scalloped edges and en-
broidery.
To make the embroidery, fold the
sham in four sections. You make sew
eral small triangles, squares or cir
cles, and when you open the sham
the design will be uniform.
A counterpane for the bed may
be made in the same way. This
should be just large enough to fit the
top of the bed and the edges all seal
loped. Fold the counterpane and cut
design as YOU did for the sham.
Also cut a design in The centre of the
counterpane If made of heavy white
paper the spread will look like a
heavy linen one. If you make it of

FACE DEATH SEVEN DAYS.

Seven days without water and with
scant provisions on wreck that
threatened each moment to turn tur-
tie, following twenty hours in ter
rifle gale off Cape Hatteras, is the
substance of story told by Captain
Griff1s and five men of the William
H. Skinner, schooner, of Baltimore,
who were brought into port on the
Etruria, of the Cunard line.
February % by the Bray Head, a
British steamship, they had given up
hope, having abandoned the pumps
through sheer weakness and eaten
the last OF their water soaked biscuit.
Before they landed at Belfast the
wreck of the schooner had been re-
ported and they had been given up as
lost.
Leaving Georgetown, S. c., bound
for New Haven with a cargo of lum-
ber, the William H. Skinner ran into
heavy weather on her second day out.
Under stormsail apd double reefed
mainsail, she held on until dark,
when, her seams having started, it
was found necessary to lay to. Dur
ing the night she was swept by tre-
mendous seas. She was heavily laden,
lumber being piled ten feet high upon
her deck.
Toward daylight the storm reached
it's height. One of the helmsmen,
having been torn from his post by
rush of water, the schooner waved
slightly, and in that moment was
caught by three huge seas that threw
her head off and laid her broadside to
the waves. In another moment she
slowly turned upon her side until her
deck was almost VERTICAL Captain
Griffis and his men had to scramble
over the weather bulwarks before a
foothold became possible.
Lashing themselves to the vessels
side, the crew passed three anxious
hours in their precarious position.
The lumber broke from its fastenings,
and the huge beams, flung about like
straws, battered the hull and threat
ened to crush the men. AS the storm
subsided the last of the lumber
washed away and the schooner sud-
denly righted. Cutting themselves
free, the crew c1ambered to the deck.
1t was found that the craft was
almost completely waterlogged, but
the pumps were started and search
was made for food. The storeroom
was submerged and the watercasks
had been swept overheard. Two tins
of biscuit formed almost the entire
available supply of provisions.
After three days the pumps were
abandoned. The men resigned them
selves, having wearied of watching
for passing sail or funnel. On the
seventh day they were sighted by the
Bray Head. None of the schooner's
men had even been able to see that
help was at hand and signals from the
Bray Head met with no response, but
| a boat was sent on the chance that
some one might still be alive aboard
the wreck. Taken to the steamer the
| men were warmed and fed and slowly
recoYered.-NewY York Herald.

More Weddings in France.

1t is an interesting and noteworthy
fact that since the PRONUNCIATION of
the law of June, 1907, the effect Of
which is to simplify the formalities
to marriage in this country, there
have been more weddings in France
than at any period since the begin
ming of the last century with the ex-
ception of the years 1913 and 1872,
in the former of which men con-
tracted unions to escape being sent
off to fight, while in the latter many
weddings took place which had been
delayed by the war with Germany

companion and friend, but Lady Wash
ington has been both to me. He may
hardly credit the accounts Of my
nesting up between her and the fire
to keep both sides warm under the
frosty skies OF the mountains, but all
this is true"
The details of her training, the.
gradual augmentation of her liberty,
the way in which she came to follow
him to the hunt, and finally to con-
sent to bear the trophies of these
joint expeditions back to camp makes
fascinating reading, and Adams
seems, naturally enough, to have vai-
ued her affection. But the following
year her nose was put out of joint.
During one of his hunts in the Yo-
semitic Valley, in the spring of 1854,
Adams located the winter quarters of
a grizzly bear, from which the occu-
pant had not yet emerged, and de-
Gliding, from the sounds that reached
him in his careful reconnoitering that
the occupant was female with
young, he determined to watch for
her appearance, kill her, and secure
the cubs
The adventure proved a thrillingl
one, and at the conclusion of it he
found himself in possession of
grizzly bear so small and helpless that
he succeeded in raising it only by in
ducing greyhound, that accom-
panied the party, and had young
family of her own at the time, to
adopt it in lieu of two out of three of
her offspring. Thus Ben Franklin"
and his foster-brother grew up in
amity, and continued to be sworn al
lies through life.
Ben, having never known the world
under any other guise, accepted it
frankly as he found it. He not only
did not have to unlearn the habits of
the savage, but seems never to have
developed them, at least not toward
his master. He was never chained,
he slept for the most part in Adams
company, and when at last the ulti-
mate test of allegiance was unexpect-
edly presented to him, he took sides
unhesitatingly with his adopted mas
ter against his own relations. Adams,
while accompanied by Ben Franklin,
was attacked by a wounded grizzly.
Ben instantly joined in the fight, and
although himself badly bitten, saved
his masters life.

Cleanliness of Ants.

No creature is more tidy than an
ant, who cannot tolerate the presence
of dirt on her body. These little
creatures actually use a number of
real toilet articles in keeping them
selves clean. A well-known authority
says their toilet articles consist Of
coarse and fine toothed combs, hair
brushes, sponges and even washes
and soap. Their saliva is their liquid
soap, and their soft tongues are their
sponges. Their combs, however, are
the genuine article and differ from
ours mainly in that they are fastened
to their legs. The ants have no set
time for their toilet operations, but
stop and clean up whenever they get
soiled.-St. Nicholas.
