BEYOND THE TOMB.
Victor Hugo's Views on the lmmor-
tally Of the Soul.

Victor Hugo's opinion on the question:
Of life beyond the grave was a remark
able one. The great Frenchman was
firmly convinced that he would meet
all his friends in future world. He|
was equally sure that he had always
existed from the antediluvian times.
when the Creator placed him on earth.
He believed that he would exist for
ever, inasmuch as he felt in his soul
thousands of hymns, dramas and POI
ems that had never found expression.
When the atheists would say to him,
"The proof that you will not exist In
the future is that you did not exist In
the past Hugo would answer:
"Who told you did not exist in the
past centuries? You will say that Is
the legend of the ages. The poet has
written, Life is a fairy tale twice writ
ten He might have said thousand
times written. You do not believe In
the doctrine Of surviving personalities
for the reason that you do not recollect
your anterior existence. But how can
the recollection of vanished ages re-
main imprinted on your memory when
you do not remember thousand and
one scenes and events of your present
life2 Since 1902 there have been ten
Victor Hugos in me. Do you think
that can recall all their actions and
all their thoughts?
"The tomb is dark, and when shall
have passed the tomb to emerge into
light once more all these Victor Hugos
will be almost wholly strangers TO me
but 1t will always be the same SOUL"

KAISER GAVE STRAIGHT
LEGS TO/HIS PETITIONER

BERLIN. April 00.-Wilhelm Bur
chardt. of Tilsit. has just come from
a hospital in Koenigsberg with pair
of straight legs, the present of his
emperor. Now he will be able to do
his military service, and he probab bly,
will enter the guards.
When Burchardt reported last au-
tumn for examination, preliminary to
entering the army as recruit, the
army surgeons were forced to reject
him as unavailable because he was
extremely knock-kneed
The young man, who wanted badly
to serve. sent a petition to the en-
peror for aid. The emperor respond
ed by having him sent to a hospital
for an operation and paid the ex-
pense from his private purse. The
operation was a complete success.

ley, rising on the west abruptly out
of marshy country, offers obstacles
of magnificent, inaccessible granite to
the mountaineer.
Mt. Mckinley is also the highest
peak in the world above the line of
perpetual snow. Almost every high
mountain-rises from a base of only
1000 or 5000 feet. Thus $4,000 feet of
snow and ice has to be climbed over
to reach the summit
In 1906 and 1910, Parker and Browne
made attempts to find routes up the
side of this great mountain The
highest altitude reached was 10000
feet. Last year they made their third
try. this time from the northeastern
side of the peak.
on April %, 1912. the base of Mt.
Mckinley was reached by the Parker
Browne party. After a short journey
of exploration, finally on June the
ascent was begun A heavy slow-

Finally after five days of hardsips

the summit was made on June 30.
In the face of a bitter wind laden
with fine dry snow the climb was
made. Every step had to be chopped
in the ice. At a distance of twenty
feet the three members of the party
could not see one another. At an
altitude of about 20.250 feet they
found it was absolutely impossible
to go on. The summit was still some
