monks have become used to this
class of tourist and after greeting them
and seeing to their immediate comfort,
they disappear behind iron gratings and
the meals are served by domestics

monks lead. Sixteen years they spend

BeBing great Alpinists the monks rem
der service to hundreds who cross the
Alpine Pass on foot peddling, looking for
work, or retreating homeward without
money or friends. Throughout the winter
scouts with dogs are continually on the
lookout. No one knows how many lives
have been saved For 10 centuries this

of a scout is asked for to point out the
way.
AT the Grand st. Bernard hospice there
are no tracts no bulletins announcing
services, no interference. All this Is to
be swamped by the 20,f00 tourists who
arrive each year and who sleep and eat
at the monks expense without any

Collapses Trying to
Eat Turkey Dinner
For IL on Bet of $40

BOULDER, COLO, Nov. 2S.-As a
result of attempting to win a SO
wager by devouring a Thanksgiving
dinner sufficiently large to feed
family of twelve, j. T. Harris is to-
day in a semi conscious condition at
his home. The attending physician
says it will take "a hours to deter
mine the outcome OF Harris illness.
With l.. n. Ferguson, Harris wa
gered $40 that he, at sitting of two
and one-half hours could eat:
One fifteen pound turkey with
oyster dressing, three loaves of bread,
six large sweet potatoes, six cups of
coffee. two punches of celery, four
dishes of cranberry sauce, one glass
of mint jelly, six bananas with cream,
one pound of butter, one order of
squash, two mince pies, two dishes OF
plum pudding with brandy sauce.
Harris began his meal at o'clock
at night and had reached the mince
pie portion of the menu when he col
lapsed.
