The American Rockies" the title OF
Nox McCain's second travel lecture de
luxe" at the Columbia Theater next
Sunday evening. hints OF scenic wonders
up and down the Great Divide OF our
own native heath. 1t will be the lectur-
er's aim to prove conclusively that
Switzerland can be outdone and the
Andes or Himalayas equaled. Exquisite
ly colored views, life motion pictures,
and the impelling descriptions Of which
Mr.. Mccain is the master will be
brought into play to substantiate the
point at issue; namely. whether a person

of the mountain regions Of other lands
when the great national museums Of
physical geography OF his own country
remain unvisited.

Jesse Conway, who writes pieces about
the doings OF Congress for the Associated
Press. relates q whimsical tale concern
ing the midnight adventure Of two West

across the city a time ago when the
streets and sidewalks were 50 icy that
every wayfarer wished he had come Of a
lcng line OF tight-rope walkers.
The Congressmeh had spent the even

had endesvored TO make his guests for

Neither felt like attempting to navi-
gate the icy streets afoot when they
found how slippery II was and they halle
q carriage standing near by.
One OF them opened the door and start
ed to climb into the vehicle. He slipped
and fell clear across the carriage and
out the other door. His companion tried
to rescue him and he also fell out. So
much confusion frightened the horse, and
one OF the Congressmen skated to its
head and caught hold Of the bride. But
in doing so he lost his balance and
slipped. His feet hit against one leg

and the horse fell down. too-on top
Of the other Congressman. II was like
a scene from Hanlon's "Superba."
1t was apparent that the horse couldn't I
proceed without somebody to steady him,
and the two Congressman started to lead
him, one at each side. They bade the
driver hold a tight rein, and with eau
tious step they set out for their hotel.
1t was slow going Sometimes they would
slip and the horse would hold them up;
and then again they would reciprocate
OF an hour and fifteen minutes they had
reached their hotel.

box.
They thanked him for making It so rea-

The advantages of the system to the
public are past argument, having been
put to practical test in almost every

problem will work out satisfactorily
and to a profit through trial and ex-
perience. Anyhow the demand for
