next four year, to be followed by six
years when his pay win be at the rate Of
t156.25 a month. The president has finally
acted on the court-martial case OF Colonel
Cooke, who some months ago was con-
fronted with charges alleging failure to
properly care for government funds to the
amount of $4,000 and the use Of govern
ment facilities in the transportation of pri-
vats property while on duty in Alaska. The
sentence OF the court was dismissed, and
the president modified this to forfeiture OF
one-half of his retired coloners pay for the
next ten years. The friends of Colonel
Cooke made much of the fact, which was
brought before the court and set aside,
that these charges were in the Possession
Of the War department while the accused
officer was a lieutenant colonel of the
Twenty-second infantry, and that his re-
tirement at his own request was delayed
by the military authorities until he should
attain the rank of colonel. The president
made this the reason for modifying SEN

As a result Of an argument started between Fortunate Mention and g. companion before a Douglas lunch counter last Thursday, the unfOrtu- nate Fortunate was brought before Police Judge Rice of that city the following day to answer to the charge or carrying q deadly weapon. The testimony showed that upon being asked by his friend to pay a dollar which had been long overdue.

Fortunately for For tunato'S companion he was d quick stopper and thus escaped serious in- jury before the officer nabbed Men ton and placed him under arrest
 Not guilty was answered to the charge Thursday, but testimony was all against him, and for the little joke, as he called ii, he got a sen tence of twenty-five days in jail

It is true that a recent book written by an old lady who was a famous figure in those days rather gave one to think about the early VictOrians. and to revise ones opinion, so lurid light did she shed upon some of their actions. Was the early Victorian, then, nothing but a whited humbug? Anyway, she was just as human as

 The etiquette of th,, sexes is cer- tainly loOser m America. and there is a large and liberal freedom which is all to the advantage of woman. once upon a time Tn England no young girl would have dared to accept as much as a packet of chocolates or a pOsey from a young man. Now he may send her a confectioner's or a flor ist's shop, his motor car and his box at the opera. So much have We taken from America. Nevertheless. as I have pointed out. the privileges of liberty carry their risks. The in creased liberty of the one sex reacts upon the other, and helps to make breaches in the ramparts.

One who has Travelled widely grows
to be lover of mountains, for their
place in the world and in history is
distinctive Inevitably, such a one
makes comparisons. The present
writer has looked upon many of the
most famous mountains of earth-the
Alps of Switzerland, the stored hills
of Scotland, the Hima1ayas, highest
in the world, and forever covered
with snow; the sacred mountains Of
Greece, the Taurus mountains through
which the armies of the east throng-
ed to the conquest of the west; Full
yama and the still active volcanoes
of Japan; the yet-to-be-famous Ural
mountains of Siberia with their treas
ure store; the snow topped heights
Of Persia and upper Mesopotamia, and
all the mountains of the Holy Land.
Sublime and historic as are many of
these peaks. the most impressive Of
all to my mind is the gentle slope on
the western shore of the little Lake Of
Galilee, called Kurn Hattin, or Mount
of Beatitudes. It takes but slight
