"Exclamatory Rheumatism"
While the oil excitement was at its
height in Texas several years ago Mr..
Gates put up at hotel in Beaumont,
where colored girls were employed as
Mattresses.
At the dinner table, on the evening
Of his arrival, wishing to be pleasant
to the girl who had taken great pains

the girl
"Oh, then he's been sick. What's the

"Why, de doctah say he got exclam-

you? Explanatory means to cry out"
said Mr.. Gates.

While Mr.. Gates was down in Flor

many people, and it seemed as though
every native had military title, such
as "major," captain" or colonel"

much like any English party"
Mr.. Gates once told this tale about
friend of his who went into the Alps
in an effort to escape from "all the
modern improvements" of life:
"My friend began the ascent to the
hospice of st. Bernard" said Mr..
Gates. NWhen about an hours climb
from the pass he was stopped by a
dense fog. He waited gleefully, ex-
pecting to be rescued by the dogs and
so be able TO come back to US with q
thrilling story. The dogs did not come
however, and the fog partly lifted. So
he resumed his climb and finally ar
rived at the hospice, where he was
welcomed warmly by the brothers
His first question was:
"'Why did you not send the dogs out
In so dangerous fogr
"He nearly dropped from his chair
when one of the brothers said:
"'You did not telephone u.s.
Telephone your he calculated.
"'Yes,' was the answer. You see,
shelters have been built all along the
climb, and each shelter has been pro-
vided with telephone. If a fog comes
up all one has to do is to go to the
nearest shelter and telephone. We I'm
mediately send a man and dog to that
shelter. The dog carries bread, cheese
and wine. AS we know at Just what
shelter the climber is, no time is lost
In looking for him."
MIR. Gates said his friend was so dis
gusted with having his romantic no
lions knocked In the head that he left
Switzerland at once.

The president observes that his pro-

approval. Congress has not taken up
the matter. The people in Alaska
want a regular territorial organization
