predoe Boat Sink. Second Time.

Denison, Dec. 2S.-The contractors
who are digging the drainage ditch in
this county are being pursued with
hard luck. Their boat. which sunk
about three weeks ago, repeated the
act. After three weeks work the boat
had been foated and after digging
about quarter of mile was backed
up to remove the dam which was made
in order to raise it, and again sank in
nearly the same place. The ditch, which
under their contract was to have been
completed Jan. 1, 1912, is but two-thirds
completed, and IL the contract is en-
forced by the county, the contractors
will be compelled to construct the re-
naming part at their own expense.

Rev. Dr. Lunn Carries Town by Large
 Plurality.
 There was Socialist landslide in Schenectady. The Democratic and Re publican parties were virtually buried The Rev. Dr. George k. Lunn, Social ist candidate for mayor, was elected by plurality of 2,O52 and the entire Socialist ticket was elected. with the exception of City Judge Marvin Strong CRepD. The Socialists also elected eight of the thirteen aldermen,~ the Demo crats electing three and the Republic ans two. Herbert NJ. Merrill. Socialist candidate for member of assembly, Is elected by plurality of 1902 over his Republican opponent, James w. Vee- der, who received 4,696 votes, while Simon J. Schemerhorn Dem) got 4,057 votes.
 pr. Lunn's vote is 6,535, as against 4,4S3 cast for the next highest candi- date, Charles H. Benedict Dem.). At the last previous election the Socialist vote in Schenectady was 2,24O. The enormous increase of more than 4,oo0 does not, however, indicate an absolute gain in the Socialist vote, for among pr. Lunn's supporters were thousands of disgruntled Democrats and Repub- hcans, as well as hundreds of dissatis- fled workingmen.

Quick as thought the head guide flung
down the chasm one end of the rope that we
had just cast off, but it fell short of the i'm
prisoned man by ten or twelve feet at least!
"lf we had only ladder!" muttered the
brave mountaineer, 1espairingly.
An truth, ladder would have made all the
difference just then, for with its help we
could have crossed tremendous chasm, far
too wide to be leaped, which lay right across
cur nearest way down to the village, extend
ing 80 far to right and left that any one goss
ing for help would have to make clrcmt 0I
more than two miles to avoid 1t, during WhSh
time the hapless man might freeze to death
But there was no time to lose IN thlnklnEf
and the younger guide was just starting Oh
to fetch help, when he stopped short SUI
denly and shouted: ~
Come back, Pierre! Are you mad?"
And in truth he hal good cause to say soi
About fifty yards to our right q single rlp
of ice or frozen snow spanned TINS dreau,uI ,

for. the kind gentleman" who had got him MN
leave to join the expedition, he was actualy
crawling across the awful ehasm on ah,o .hlS to
bear the weight of dog, much less BOY.
IL he could do il, il would shorten by nearly
half an hour the time needed to reach ,fN !he
village, and perhaps save the American me-
But could he?
On he crept-on, on, on-nearer and nearer
to the end, while we all held our breath to
watch him And now he was third OF the
way over, ami now he was more than half
way. and now he was almost within reach
of the opposite side, when suddenly saw
the fral bridge begin to shake!
The boy knew his danger. Quick as light
ming he sprang to his feet and with one des-
perste leap landed himself on the farther
bank Just as the snow bridge melted away be,
hind him in a cloud of glitterinG, dust, and
its fragments went ringing and tinkling down
the fathomless abyss below.
Sci cIambling to his feet again, the young
acrobat flew like hunted deer down the
hillside toward the village, and in a wonderful;
ly short space of time Though to us 1t seemed
long enough) he was seen coming back again,
with party of six or seven stout fellows, pro-
vided with ropes, Ladders and ice-axes.
With so many strong and sklltul hands at
work to rescue him, my comrade was soon
set free from his icy prison, and though bad
" bruised, and quite benumbed with cold,
seemed to be otherwise none the worse OF his
terrible adv enture. The brave boy was re-
warded as his courage deserved, and his un-

struck in my companion, goodnatured
American, looking kindly at the eager face
of the little Sayoyard. II dare say we shall
find him useful before we're DONE"
So we did. indeed-in way which we little
dreamed
We were just starting to climb hitherto
nnscaled Peak among the famous "Aiguilles,"
those giant spikes OF rock and ice, many
thousands Of feet in height, which glitter
ike the bayonets of life guard around Mont
Blanc.
There were five Of us-mysef and my
American comrade, two veteran guides and
a porter-and brave little Pierre came just
in time to make up the halfdozen.
Up we .Went-uD, up, up--windIng along
steep, rocky path through the dark green
pine. woods, above which the dazzling white
OF the great snow-peaks stood out very pic
turesquely.
The courageous boy kept up with us most
manfuliy Tor rather boyfully), and was still
at his unele's side when we emerged from
the woods into wild chaos of vast granite
bonlders and shapeless masses of gravel and
rubbish, like the wreck OF an earthquake,
through which we struggled for more than
half an hour before reaching. the edge of the
great glacier that lay between us AMI the
actual peak itself
Here we halted to don the helmetshaped
hoods that were to shield our faces and necks
from the singing ice dust, and the blue spec
tacles that We're to defend our eyes from the
glare Of the snow.
Then We were roped together in single file
1.-THE. guides in front and rear AMI ourselves
IN the centre) to keep us from falling into
the terrible crevasses which honeycomb the
ice in all directions, and forward we went
once more, crawling over the great white
plain like flies on wedding cake.

ment was hanging helplessly between two

was checked by the rope, which the guides
instantly tightened, and in another moment

a few minutes later my comrade vanished
IN his turn, but only to be hauled up again
at once; after which we got clear of the
glacier without further accident, and reached
the loot Of the peak itself-a vast perpen-
