and there Is no landing place. From
around this curve there comes a mad
roar, and down we are carried, with a
dizzylng velocity, to the head OF an
other rapid. On either side, high
above our heads, there are oyerhang-
Ing granite walls. and the sharp bends

will carry us into unknown waters,

we have a wild, exhilarating ride for
ten miles, which we make in less than

that we forget the danger until we
hear the roar Of a great fall below;

And so on. The diary recounts a
continual succession Of exciting bat
ties with fate. Meantime, In repeated
upsets, one Of their boats is lost and
most OF their -four destroyed. They
are down to a few days rations, prin-
cipally OF dried apples.
On August 28 three Of the party left

after most exciting passage over a
series OF rocky cascades, swept out OF
the Grand canyon in safety.
He repeated the passage, for scien-
tifc research, two years later and
then he used boat into, which he was
strapped Several times this boat
rolled over in the rapids and once
nearly drowned him.
Major Powells desire to continue in
work OF similar nature prompted him
to seek annual appropriations for con-
Quoting an independent survey Of the
territories. In this work he continued
until, through his agency, the geologl-
cal survey was organized in 1879.
At his solicitation Clarence King ac-
cepted the dictatorship Of the geologi-
cal survey and Major Powell was ap-
pointed as his successor by President
Garfield. Major Powell continued in
charge of both bureaus until his res
ignation as director Of the geological
survey in 1894. Subsequent to that he
devoted his attention entirely to the
bureau of ethnology, Of which he was
director until his death in September,
1902.
The geological survey was built into
an efficient organization under the per-
sonal direction and guidance of Major
Powell.

Than Rubies," Says Wife
in Suit.

NEW YORK, Jan. Mrs. Irene
Sheffield. authoress. sued by her hus-
band, Justice Sheffield, New York law
yer, for divorce, denied she ever asked
any person to make charges against
Sheffield to the New York Bar Asso-
citation. All she did, she said, was to
tell Mr.. Shoup, lawyer, that her
husband was "a mean man, tyrant
degenerate. a cheat and all told, the
meanest man who ever walked on
Gods earth"
Compared with "lsOman Terror
Mrs. Sheffield, cross examined by
counsel for her husband, admitted
that in her book, THE Golden Hol-
low" she had portrayed ger husband
Mack" as bully.
Asked by counsel IL that described
her husband. she replied: "He is
worse than a bully. The old Roman
terror was not a patch on him."
Mrs. Sheffield was questioned about
a set of ten commandments for mar
rled men and ten for women she pub
lished. She repudlated the sentiments
of some and said she published them
because they needed the money. They
we're:

1. Thou shalt keep thy past unto
thyself.
2. Thou shalt not scoff.
3. Thou shalt be careful kisser
4. Remember to keep holy thy
marriage vow.
S. Remember thy wife to sing her
praises. A dull husband is discour-
agement unto the gods. Honor thy

6. Remember thy mother-in-law to
keep her guessing. A wise mother
in-law loves a cheerful liar.
7. Thou shalt not steal march I'M
to thy club.

are worth SIP per ton baled as old
paper. This will more than pay for
the photograph and advertising while
the advertising he will receive will
be worth much more. He can't lose.
Editor Mellen of the Ortonville
Journal paid the druggist visit last
week to ascertain the success of the
novel scheme, and he was astonished
at the revelations. When the drug
gist started this contest he had no
conception of the developments or the
vast amount of good he was doing
for the community. He is striking a
deadly blow at the catalogue houses
which promises to become widespread
and eventually put stop to free dis
tribution of catalogues. Mr.. Mellen
says he found the whole front of the
store and every available space oc-
cupied with catalogues, and the books
were still coming in. The contest
had run three weeks and was just get
ting a good start. Nine tons were
counted from Sears & Roebuck alone
and there were almost as many from
other houses. People are sending to
the houses for more catalogues and
these will soon join the others at the
drug store. Every catalogue is worth
so many coupons and it takes coupons
to win the photograph.

WAR ON MAIL ORDER CONCERN
A Big Stone Druggist Has Novel
Scheme to Combat InrOads of
Catalogue Houses.

Open warfare between the country
merchant and the mail order concerns
of the country which has been in pro-
gress for some years and which has
grown more fierce, although bloodless,
during the past few months may
soon end, says the Morris Tribune. A
druggist at Big Stone City, near Or
tonville, has introduced new submar-
inc attack which threatens to sweep
the mail order houses from the trade
seas unless the supreme court hands
down an ultimatum and comes to the
aid of the allies, the mail order con-
Germs. Sears & Roebuck catalogues
are the ships torpedoed so far al
though the other mail order houses
have suffered heavy losses.
Several weeks ago several tons of
Sears & Roebuck catalogues were
dumped at Big Stone City addressed
to farmers near town. They were fol-
lowed by catalogues from other
houses. The druggist viewed the sit
uation with alarm and decided some
thing must be done. He thought out
a plan and then took page ad in the
local paper. He announced that he
would start a contest in which he
would give away a handsome and val
liable photograph. Coupons would be
given to people bringing in catalogues
and price lists of every description,
and to the person securing the largest
number of coupons within a stated
time he will give the photograph.
Today he is doing a landoffice bust
ness and he doesn't know where he
will store all the catalogues. They

may declare for Justice Hughes as
their second choice. They are pledged
to Senator Cummins as first choice, of
course, but they generally concede
that Cummins men expect no more
than the ''favorite" son support from
any of the delegations that have been
elected under instructions to vote for
him. At the same time many of the
men who favor Hughes as their Sec
ond choice say they expect Roosevelt
to be nominated.

and this only after Mr.. Rogers refus-
ed to enter the race because his
friend, Pat McGarry, who was then
supposed to be a candidate, expected
to run for congress. At this late date
Mr.. Rogers cannot blame those who
will stand by their pledges to Mr..
Buchanan if he does not receive the
solid vote, or even half of it, of the
Chippewas in his district.
Almost Unanimous for Buchanan.
Melrose Beacon: The newspapers
of the Sixth district are almost unan-
imous in supporting G. B. Buchanan
of Little Falls for congress; many Re-
publican leaders who have hitherto
withheld their support are also be-
ing added to the fold and all indica-
lions point to his nomination. Ener-
getic, capable and experienced, he
deserves your support.

Two Casts Of Mind.

There are two casts of mind and
two classes of writer's which stand out
IN more or less marked contrast to
each other at all times. We name
them "ceuS qui agitent lie monde, ct
ceux Qui lie civilisent," classical and
romantic, the men Of clearness and
calm and the men Of magic and enthu-
siasm. the walkers In the broad streets
Of life where the fine palaces and fair
prospects are, and the walkers In the
5y-streets where squalor and eecen-
tricity hug their independence.
The one sort finds everything inter-
esting, even the ugly. and sometimes
especially the ugly; the other averts
its eyes, as far as it may, from disease
and disorder, and ugliness and IRA
tionality.
That is what Goethe meant when,
with some injustice to himself as well
as to other people, he declared that
the classical was the healthy and the
romantic the diseased.

Emotions.
Copyright. New York 7

Emotions are what you have when
you are all stirred up; for example,
when you are in love or when a note
which you had previously forgotten
suddenly falls due. Also, when you
think you are writing poetry and when
you are leading one who is practically
total stranger up TO an altar, where.
oy previous arrangement and design,
you have stationed a gentleman with
power to cause you more future trou-
bic than you have ever dreamed of.
Science tells us that something cannot
come out of nothing, yet emotions
seem to do this. A calm. placid lady
whom you have known and trusted for
years will suddenly have emotions
which will create an area of disturb
ance extending for miles in all direc-
tons. Emotions are felt but not seen.
If you could see an emotion coming
with the naked eye. you might be able
to avoid it. Some men can thus avoid
emotions when they see their wives
coming but not when they have emo.
tons themselves.
Emotions are OF various kinds and
are variously expressed: a New York
policeman expresses his with a club,
and every dog with the end OF his
tail.-Life.

pinks, jasmine and dahlias, azaleas,

wonder that human flowers also -four

tantalizing glimpses of dark eyes and
laughing red lips in fiower-framed win

For all its perfection, work on the
Avenida Beira Mar was begun not

and completed in few years-a feat
which is little short OF marvellous when
one considers the infinite time and
