fsts Of Prospsctor Who Slipped Into
crevasss In Alaska.
I'm the winter of 1885," said Rob
|ert @. Losey. II was one Of a party of
.prospectors in Alaska. We were cross
ting the Rampant mountains, In central
Alaska. on the way to Quail creek,
from which locality had come reports
|of great gold find. A member of an
|other party near us, in going over the
mountains, had broken through a crust
|of sand and gone down into the Gre
vase Of glacier.
HE had gone down a distance of
thlrty-eight or forty feet. where he had
lodged. We could not see him, but
we heard him and we talked with him.
We tried to reach him with a rope and
finally tied a pick to the end of the
rope. hoping to bring him out. He ask
ed us to quit pulling on the rope; that
we were making his position worse.
He finally pleaded with us. his voice
growing fainter and fainter. to go away
and leave him..
HE evidently was freezing, not, as we
have heard. painful. death, and he did
not want to be bothered. He gave us
his name; said he was fifty-four years
old and told us to notify his folks at
some town In Missouri We stayed
there until we could hear his voice NO
longer.
HE certainly made record of being
the coolest man, and then he froze to
death. "-Indianapolis News.

Many worries are useless and holm

OFTEN settles disagreement and pre-

times forget to laugh. The strain of
work grips them hard, and they get
old before their time.

Scene Painting.

In the past half century and more.
especially since the improvement of the
electric light, scene painting has be-
come very elaborate and very expen-
sive. Instead Of being kept In its
proper place as the decoration of the
drama, as a beautiful accessory of the
action. 1t has often been pushed to the
front, so as to attract attention to it.
self and thereby to distract attention
from the play which it was supposed
to illuminate. Shakespeare has been
smothered in scenery, and the art of
the actor has been subordinated to the
art of the scene painter.-Brander Mat
