much over 100000 miles.
l am frequently asked by friends
where to travel on pleasure, and ] al
ways say, "See America first"
If | had months leisure and few
hundred dollars to spend In travelling
for pleasure l would turn to the great
west. Starting from New York. l
would pass through Buffalo and stop
Off long enough to see Niagara falls
and thence to Chicago and through
Milwaukee and on to the Twin Cities.
spending few days in the lake region
OF Wisconsin and Minnesota, where
would find fishing, canoeing and sail
Ing on some Of the most beautiful in
land waters Of the world.
Continuing westward, the attractions
OF Glacier National park in the north
west corner of Montana would surely
lure me to stop for few DAYS.
From this paradise I'd journey west
ward and see Mount Rainier National
park, which covers more than 100000
acres. World travellers have called
Mount Rainier the liking of all noun

Seattle and Puget sound. If I had the

Seattle and go to see the wonders of
Alaska, with its icefields that outrival
the Norwegian fords.

From Portland | could go via boat or

From Salt Lake City to the Yellow

If my thirst for mountain scenery

by way Of Denver, situated one mile
above sea level and surrounded by
snow mountains that show their rug

than 200 miles, of which Pixies peak Is
the dominating feature.

RECLAIMED HIS CASTE.
A Rich Americans Bluff In q Land
Where Horses Represent Wealth.

"The bal is so rich" said my host of
word for lord and MASTERY, that what
we have must seem very small to him.
But he has seen our herds: does he
think our horses beautifulY"
/ replied that we admired his horses
very much and that. although they
were not so large as ours. their con-
formation was very fine.

Koorman. How many has the baiY
stammered that owned five. This
information produced most depress
Ing effect.
"The bal Is so rich,' he said, land yet
he only owns five horses. | do not un-

Adam Bal is said to have 5000, and
you say that you have only five! How
many sheep does the bal ownf"
II regret to say that own no Sheep"
replied.
"Ah Probably the bal owns large
herds of cattler'
Il have two cows" | said.
The conversation was assuming a
| most unfortunate turn, and | felt that
was losing ground every minute;
something desperate had TO be done.

Interpreting a Problem

Apropos of the problem Of The great
est number that can he expressed by
three figures, L. Capitaine writes thai
the figures 99' may be interpreted in
two different ways, They may near
the ninth power of the ninth power OF
8, or they may mean 8 raised to the
ninth power of O.
The ninth power of 0 is 387, APO, ,4s9
This number raised to the ninth power
is nothing so tremendous: an4 one
could do the necessary calculation with
little time, as the result has only
about seventy-fve figures. But il we
accept the second Interpretations
raised to the ninth power OF Sit
means that we shall have to multiply
by itself 387 400, ,4S9 times. which is q
very different thing.

graphical Journal They have been
using much newspaper space In the
Pittsburgh papers especially, declaring
that there Is again going to be a direct
issue made between organized labor
and the anti-union employers not only
In that district, but throughout the
country IN general.
1t might be well to say right here
that organized labor had nothing
whatever to do In starting the strike at
the Westinghouse plants. The strikers
at these places were all unaffiliated
with the American Federation of La
bor with Il few exceptions, these being
mainly machinists and electrical work
ers, who had joined their respective
organizations some time ago, but who
had nothing 10 do with calling the
great strike recently The Iron City
Trades Journal the official spokesman
for organized labor ;n the Pittsburgh
district. says that the strikers. al
though practically unorganized had
the best wishes of organized labor to
be successful In bettering their condi-
tions. The paper condemns the ire
sponsible leadership and declares that
the laboring class should beware Of al
lowing SO called leaders OF the caliber
of the extremist, whose teachings have
always been to the detriment OF the
workers, to lead them astray
There would have been a different
outcome Of the Westinghouse trouble
II the plant had been under the juris-
diction of the American Federation OF
Labor, when safe and sane methods as
we'll as leaders would have been used
and insured success for the employees.
This was demonstrated In the case of
the street car strike In Pittsburgh,
which was called at the same time the
Westinghouse workers were out Sane
leadership conducted the car strike,
and as result the men received sub
stantial advance In wages.

AN ANCIENT CHURCH.
IL Has Been In Use In France For Over
Thousand Years.

Thousand Years.
Before dinner we walked for a little
In the gray evening and came to an old
church-one OF the oldest In France, 1t
is said, built in the ninth century and
called st. Michael's. cat Naptua, In
the French Juras) 1t Is more than a
thousand years old and looks it. 1t has
not been much rebuilt, l think, for In
vasion and revolution appear seldom to
have surmounted the natural ramparts
Of Nantua and only the storm beat and
the erosion of the centuries have writ
ten the story of decay. The hand of
restoration has troubled it little.
We slipped In through the gathering
dusk and tiptoed about, for there were
a few lights ffickering before the altar,
and we saw the outlines Of bowed
heads. Presently priest was silhouet-
ted against the altar lights as he cross
ed and passed out by side door. He
was one of long line that stretched
back through more than half Of the
Christian era and through most Of the
history OF France.
When the first priest passed in front
OF that altar France was still under
the Carlovtngian dynasty under
Charles the Fat, perhaps, and William
Of Normandy was not to conquer Eng
land until 200 years later. Then nearly
400 years more would creep by-dim,
medieval years-before Joan Of Arc
should unfurl her banner of victory
and martyrdom.
You see how far back into the mists
we are stepping here. And all those
evenings the altar lights have been Lit
and the ministration Of priests has not
failed-Albert Bigelow Paine in Har-
per's Magazine.

an increase In wages. When pay day
came at the works and the strikers
went to the window to get their en-
velopes they were surprised te find
that they had been paid 20 per cent
more than they expected. They sought
an explanation and were told that the
company had decided some weeks ago
10 grant an Increase of 20 per cent in
wages and that 1t went into effect the

were on the Santa Fe payroll in To-
peka.
Only IS per cent of the roads en-
ployeeS are making the demands that
will increase their pay roll 25 per cent,
General Manager Kouns says. The
enginemen and trainmen threaten to
strike in the event their demands are
refused and the auditorium meeting
will be held to explain to employees
that represent the other 80 per cent

sibillty for a strike would rest.

result, are of interest to every town

for that reason that invitations to at
| tend the meeting will be extended to
those outside the railway service.
