TRAGEDIES OF ALPS
Many Lives Lost in Attempting
Their Ascent.
Death Roll Averages Between Sixty
and Seventy Per Year-Dangerous
Climb of an American
Woman Related.

ing great reward
SO wrote the late Mr.. Donald Rob-
ertson in the Alpine Journal. And he,
one of the finest climbers, who had
travelled the Alps from end to end,
was Killed about four years ago while
leading a party up comparatively in
significant Welsh mountain.
Most mountaineering accidents oc-
cur in Switzerland. and the death
roll of the Alps has now risen to an
average Of between 80 and 20 yearly,
while another 800 people are more
or less seriously injured. In one year
$1,000, the number Of the killed was
no less than l19.
Examine the published statistics OF
these accidents, and two points strike
you. First, that comparatively few
OF the tragedies recorded occur at
great heights or in VIGOROUSLY difficult
places; secondly, that large ma
jorty OF the victims are women or
very young men,
A third point is that in 80 per cent.
of cases they were climbing without
guides.
The fact is that ignorance or reck-
lessness account for by far the great
er number of Alpine accidents. Peo-
pie who have, perhaps, never climbed
before IN their lives start out to
ascend mountains with which they are
totally unacquainted In most cases
they are physically unfit for the Sc.
we're exertion entailed by climbing,
and very often they are not properly
clothed or equipped for the expedi-
ton.
An instance in point is given by
Mr.. Julian Grande, a well-known men,
Der of the Alpine club. Accompanied
by friend, he was climbing the
Schlithorn, respectable peak of about
10000 feet in the Bernese Oberland.
At a great height. he noticed in the
snow the track Of small boot, evil

astonishing, but the amazing point
was that there were no signs of nails

but fail with chickens, because they
are not made right"
1t is necessary to have the right
kind of chickens. Many expert pouk
try raisers could not make expenses
from half and could not make profits
from only about one.fourth OF the
hens in the country. Good hens must
have egg producing feed and care.
A hen cannot do her DUTY on
scanty rations. The poultryman must
be a business man and market his
products where he can obtain the
highest price. To make money with
poultry we must think. So many poul-
try raisers are keeping hens instead
Of the hens keeping them. Why? Be
cause they do not think
In summer We must plan for heavy
egg production in winter, when the
prices are the highest. To make
money in poultry we must be good

with chickens loves them. How often
young people on the farm sigh for
some means OF earning money 1t
seems to me that there are great pos
sibilities for poultry raising on the
farm.
There is scarcely farm but what
has some kind OF poultry: some make
quite paying adjunct to the family in
come. Anyone could spend summer
quite pro6tably raising poultry. Many
have fine success with late Matched
chickens The profits from the poultry
business are based upon care, the
knowledge and the Intelligence Of the
operator.
There Is money made in keeping
poultry and living witnesses to this
assertion can be obtained out Of every
section OF our country, The poultry
business is not to be despised.
1t is as dignified as any other occu-
patton and needs clear-headed busi-
ness people to make success OF 1t.
Hens Of certain varieties are natur-
ally more productive than others OF
some varieties, even the best OF them
will fall short Of doing their best work
unless they are properly fed and
cared for
Many d flock of fowls fail to pay
profit simply because they are not sup
piled with food that would enable
them TO do so, and without which 1t
is an impossibility.
Much has been written about the
productiveness of the hen. Are we
getting the best results possible? How
can we know we are getting the best
results? Some may be getting good
results, above the average, from their
fiocks, and may be satisfied, but have
you reached the point where there is
nothing to attain?
The wild fowl of the jungle just laid
enough eggs from which to hatch cut
a brood of chickens once or twice a
year. Man saw the possibilities of this
feathered creature years ago and APP
propriated her to his own use.
BY scientific care and mating we
tiles and every year she has become
more productive, and we have hens
now that lay 200 to $50 eggs per year.
Has tho limit been reached?
Fifty years ago II we talked about
the hen laying 200 eggs per year we
would have been laughed at. Why
should it not be possible to go on per
fecting the hen until she produces 800
eggs per year?
Every hen won't do this; but flock
of the 200egg hen looks good and any
one that has such flock can count
on a handsome profit at the end OF the
year. They ought to pay the owner a
profit of two or three dollars per year.
according to how the product is han
died. Careful selection and mating
will produce such flock. No one can
say that the best results have been
obtained in poultrydom.

TROUBLE BRENS FOR
THIS ROYAL WEDDING
Trafficking in Tickets Followed
By. Dispute Over the
Bridesmaid s.. :.
IBy Latest MALL

LoNDON-The first little trouble
about the Forthcoming wedding OF
Prince Arthur of Connaught and the
Duchess OF Fife was the discovery
that there has been trafficking in
tickets for the affair. This resulted
il the cancellation of all invitations
and the enforcement Of strict regulat-
ions about the transfer of such tickets
for the ceremony this fall.
Great interest had been taken in the
announcement that Princess Mary
would make her first public appear
ance as bridesmaid at this wedding,
but it is now doubtful If she will do
so. Her mother, Queen Mary, who is
strictly eager to maintain all the
rights and prerogatiyes Of the royal
family, Of which the bride and bride.
groom are members, declare If Prin-
cess Mary acts as bridesmaid she
must be the first bridesmaid and head
the procession.
The young Duchess of Fife desires
her own sister, Princess Maud, to have
that position, to which she will be en-
titled as the brides nearest relative.
The young Duchess is supported in
this by her mother and by Queen
Mother Alexandra.

enables you to fit names to the per-

part of your. business to cultivate it
diligently. Few forms of greetings
are more agreeable. than that which
includes mention of the greeted
ones name, and gives the flattering
conviction that a lasting impression
has been made at previous meetings.
Introductions are said to have gone
out of fashion, and we are told We
should consider the roof sufficient
presentation. The theory is excellent,
