tions and dropping back to an altitude of 5000 feet.
 They set out again June 5 going up the northeast ridge and Mulrow glacier. The route selected was narrow and hazardous and the ridge very steep, but the explor- CTS were able to reach an altitude of H. 900 feet before being driven back by the severe cold and binding snow blown by a high gale from peak to peak.
 On the third attempt an altitude of 100 feet was reached. There with only three days provisions left, they were unahe to withstand the terrible cold and gave up their hope of reaching the summit.
 Professor Parker in explaining the se- we're cold on the mountain said that at q height of 1500O feet on June 15, 1t was 19 degrees below zero.
 "I found that pemmean, the special food used by arctic explorers and made of beef tallow and raisins Is of no value at the high attitudes" said Professor Par ler.
 We were soon afflicted with severe cases of indigestion as the food was too heavy and we were unable to use large part of our rations found that at an al- titude of 1900 feet I could not smoke without experiencing severe dizziness N hile MT. Browne seemed able to smoke at any height About the coldest weather we experienced was at an alttuae of 13.- 0oo feet when the temperature fell to 26 degrees below zero"
 Both Professor Parker and MT Browne said they had made their last attempt to reach the top of Mckinley.

 We are being pressed to nothing be- tween two pressures.. On the one hand we can get no quarter from the wholesalers, they are thoroughly organized. and the price of one is the price of all.

cHAFFEE SEES TIE FAIR AT COLUMBUS
Ohio's Prize Agricultural Exhibit Will Be on Display
 at the Alabama Fair

Secretary and General Manager Frank P Chaffee of the Alabama State Fair returned yesterday morning from colum- bus, O., where he has been for the past week attending the Ohio State Fair, and is exceedingly Jubliant over the showing that Alabama will make over what Ohio made at Columbus.
 Mir Chaffee closed with the Licking county, Ohio, exhibit to put on their ex- I'hibit here this fall as it was put on at the Ohio State Fair However, said MT. Chaffee. MT A. H. Powell, the gen tleman in charge of the exhibit, will not compete for any of the prizes here. He will merely put on his exhibit to adver- tise his county and state in the south and he has picked out Birmingham be- cause he is convinced that our tair is the best in the south.
 His exhibit, although the prizes had not been awarded when left, was given up by all to be the winner of the first prize for county agricultural exhibits at the Ohio State Fair. He had one of the most magnificent exhibits of corn and Irish potatoes I have ever seen. He had l4f QlIeTenL NdTlSlicS oI tbil dAl Ol which were raised in his county, Licking. He lives at Newark, the county seat of that county.
 "The Ohio State Fair did not come near to the standard of the Alabama State Fair as regards amusements, both paid and free attractions. They had a few of those we will have. I saw some of the many free acts we have booked at this fair and they are entirely satisfactory. I was under the impression when l left here that they would have all of those we have booked, but I find that they had only about half of them, and they were the best of their kind. can honest-i ly say that they come up to every claim that their promoters make for them
 ''The Pains fireworks display was also there. The Pains Fireworks com pany is the concern which will put on our great war spectacle, Old Mexico While the display made at the Ohio State Fair was quite good and satisfied all the people in attendance there it does not come up to old Mexico at all. From what I understand we are paying great deal more for our fireworks than they
 There is not any doubt but that the Alabama State Fair will keep her place In the lead of southern fairs md not only that but will take 8 prominent place among the state fairs of the entire United States The people up in that country who are interested in fairs and keep posted regarding them have their eyes on the big Alabama show and remark that it is in strict keeping with the Magic Clty-that it has grown almost as mag ically as the city which she has for her her home.

"A PAIR OF PULLIKENS"
By CHARLES H. MANDY

In the older days there was many 2 strange combination of trades and call ings, notable instance being that oi the surgical part principally consisted of blood letting, a habit the present day tonsorial artists have not entirely over come.
 Another strange mixture was that ol blacksmith and tooth drawer, but ir those days teeth were pulled by mair strength and awkwardness, hence tho necessity for man of muscle to play the part.
 In the city of Birmingham today is an establishment that caters to the colored population that is a combination barber S shop and restaurant, while at the morning session of the police court yesterday a negro was discovered that peddled coal for a living and as a side line extracted teeth It was the latter calling that got him into trouble, for he was accused of purloining the forceps with which he piled his trade.
 At the police court he gave his name as Jim Hill and denied in toto and bum English that he was guilty as charged. His accuser was a zantnic colored maiden of about 10 summers, who charged Jim with feloniously taking and carrying away the forceps aforesaid.
 Jim, did you steal the forceps In ques- ton? 9" asked Judge Black
 ''Ah don know what yo mean by fos- sets. which An ain't nevah seed none.
 Il mean the instruments with which you extract teeth.
 Does yo' honor mean toof pullikins?"
