A PIXIES PEAK EXPERIENCE Julian R. DiIIaby One of Party When the late Secretary T. J. Pence Got a Genuine Chill.

Practical Politics, published in Bos- ton, has the following of local inter est, in connection with an anecdote of the late Secretary Pence:
 The late Thomas J. Pence. secretary of the Democratic National Commit tee, covered" the last Bryan conven- tion in 1908 at Denver for Josephus Daniels Raleigh GN. O News and Observer and joined Highway Com missioner James W. Synan, then chairman of the democratic state committee, and Julian R. Dillaby, now of the secretary of states office and then political writer for the Boston Journal, on a side trip up Pike's Peak. It was a very warm day about the middle of July, but in climbing some 14.oOo feet the temperature dropped rapidly. In order to meet this condition the train hands keep a supply of old overcoats and wraps on hand, wearing apparel which relieves the discomfort of the unprepared. Pence carried no extra baggage other than his trusty walking stick and he was obliged to hire a heavy overcoat. He turned up the collar but still he was cold and got colder as he ascend ed. He finally was obliged to get a second coat, but the two didn't keen him warm. Reaching the summit with the thermometer at 30 and snow knee deep, he galloped into the little stone building closely and fairly hug ged the stove until the signal was given for the return. Pence was the nrst to board the train and shivered during the entire two hours coming down When he arrived at Manitou, he peeled off the extra coats and re- marked in his drawing tone, wen that sure was some cold weather for July. I reckon after a fellow made mat trip two or three times he could follow Peary clear to the pole"
