SACRED MOUNT OF ARARAT
People Of Vicinity for Many Years
Considered Its Heights impoO-
slble to Scale.

"Ararat Ia not a mountain that IL
climbed every day, or even every
year." says a writer. Seventeen as
cents have been recorded. When
James Bryce. unaccompanied. made
his remarkable ascent in 1876 he was
told by every one whom he met in
the vicinity Of the mountain that the
top had never been reached, and.
what was more, 1t never could be.
Jinns and hends and giants had pre-
vented the rascally Kurds from even
attempting to scale the terrible noun
tain. and since the ark grounded there
mortal man had not been allowed to
trespass on the sacred heights, he was
informed
Had not st. Hagop tried again and
again to reach the summit In order to
silence the skeptics about the ark, but
found himself each mornir on walk
ing quietly deposited at the base,
whence he started? Finally an angel
presented him with a piece of the ark
for his pains, but told him to cease
his attempts to reach the forbidden
l ground.
/ THAT was In the fourth century of
our era, but the piece Of the ark Is
still to be seen at the monastery of
the Echmiedzin. where dwells the
catholicos Of the Armenian church.
That Russians or a stray lone Eng
Hshman had really reached the top
Of Ararat was not to be thought Of"

20 yards. crawled to the first and
made a snapshot; then, nat as a rug,
sneaked my way to tho one esti-
mated at 20 yards. The click Of the
camera alarmed the buck; he rose,
tried the wind, then lay down again,
giving me another glance. Having
used all the films, now stood up.
The caribou dashed away. and by q
slight limp showed that he was in
sanctuary. The 20-yard estimate
proved too long; 1t was only 16 yards,
which put my picture little out Of
focus-Ernest Thompson Seton in

SHE KNEW WRGlNlA's LAWS
How Maiden Lady Of tho Old DomIn-
lon Saved Her Lawn From the
Road Builders.

Ii women ever come to sit on the
bench In old Virginia, there's a mai
den lady living on her ancestral acres
Just across the Potomac from Wash
ington who can qualify for the job,
Recently realty company bought
a tract Of land the other side Of her
property and plated it into suburban
lots. Desiring ready access to the
capital, they instituted proceedings to
run a public road through the old
lady's land; worse, as she learned,
the projected road would cut right
through the prettiest part of her trim
lawn, dear with it's memories Of her
childhood
She consulted her lawyer, only to
be told there was no help for 1t,
since private property may, under the
law, be condemned for Hublic use, no
matter how unwilling an indignant
owner may be.
Far from resigning herself to the
ruthless inroad on her cherished lawn.
the old lady buried herself in the
musty law library handed down from
an ancient ancestor, once prominent
Judge in the Old Dominion.
When some days later a party Of
surveyors appeared with stakes and
chains to lay out the line of road. they
found the owner, spade in hand, just
setting out the last of a phalanx Of
young apple trees squarely in front
of the lawn and right in the line Of
the proposed highway.
IF you set foot inside this orchard"
she said defiantly to the astonished
surveyors, "I'll have you all thrown
out and then arrested for trespass."
With that she called up half a dozen
trusty young countrymen waiting be-
hind the barn for the summons.
What does all this mean?" asked
the leader Of the surveying party, in
whose contract there had been no
mention of fighting. 1--WE are survey
Ing for a public road and can go any
where"
"Anywhere-except through an or
chard!" exclaimed the old lady, pull
Ing musty volume from under her
apron. IT'S been the law in Virginia
since the days of Patrick Henry that
you can't run even a public road
through an orchard, so you stay out!"
The old lady had dug up an ancient
law unknown to modern attorneys,
confounded her opponents and saved
her lawn

care who knows It, She is sure Eng
land should let we'll enough alone
List TO Marie: Remarkable, too. is
the fact that this scene of unexam-

Where Scars Are PRICED.

The natives of some of the isIa nds

the doctor on his periodical visits. At
Kaiser Wilhelm's harbor the Ger man

him, not to be treated for Illness but
to get the benefit of his professional
opinion on how to scar themselves ar

The natives are very fond OF scars.
and nearly all Of them are covered
with specimens which have resulted
from self-inflicted wounds which were
Kept open by frequent scratching or
by the Introduction of foreign sub
