ASCENT OF MOUNT ECCLES IS GRAPHICALLY DESCRIBED BY
 MEMBER DAILY TIMES STAFF


 | outlooks and possibilities undreamed of down below. Beneath them, all 1 the Copper City and Lake Eyak in glance; to the left, the bay, like a breadth of shimmering blue satin, stretching out past Pinnacle rock, Strawberry point and the Hinchin- brook beach to the sea; behind them, mile after mile of river flats, and on the furthest verge of the ocean that terrific granite fang known as Cape St. Elias.
 In bottle on the summit were found names of several who had scaled the peak-among them MT. and Mrs. George Osborne, Clinton Pinkus, Billy Field, Frank Burns and Edna Thawley.
 The descent, contrary to expecta- tions, was scarcely less difficult than the ascent, for in trying to find slopes
 
 ble, the girls found themselves in an almost impenetrable maze of alders, devil clubs and giant ferns. Some times the only way down a precipice was to swing from the boughs of a spruce, without being able to see or to feel any reassuring footing beneath. With nerve-snapping speed they slid down a snowbank and at last reached water, which they thankfully scooped up in hatfuls to relieve their choking thirst.
 Then for possibly half mile they trudged down a ravine in which the snow had accumulated to depth of ten or twelve feet This new wilk ended abruptly where it joined a stream blocked by a high dam, over which plunged a roaring torrent. No planks-no stepping stones-what to do. Nothing except to drop down on all fours and made the knee-keep, ice cold torrent. But they were rewarded by finding on the other side a good path, which led down to a foot bridge spanning a chasm.
 A queer sound halted the three a peculiar shifting, chuckling sound and out upon the plank there advanced a large bow-legged porcupine, bristling with all President Wilson's fourteen main points and several thousand minor ones. As from the present of ante-bellum royalty, the mixers re- spectfully backed off the bridge, none showing any desire whatever to argue the right-of-way with the snub-nosed stranger.
 A distinctly steep and rocky climb beyond the bridge, a drop down on the other side, and there was the pipe line path across the green flats, marked out in the gathering twilight by but tercups which shone like stars. Then down the skid-road into the thicket along the beach, over the trestle and back into town dragged three very weary young women-one so weary that she was not able to be up next day, to scribble her usual amount of Village Gossip" for the Daily Times.

Bedtime Stories
Farmer Browns Boy Understands
By Thornton W. Burgess
In thought and deed take eve7u care
To be to others ala0ays fair.

Farmer Browns boy tries very hard
to live up to that saying himself. That
is one reason he has become such a
good friend of the little people of the
Green Forest and the Green Meadows.
Trying to be fair to them he has
learned to understand them. And be-
cause he has been fair the little peo-
pie have learned to trust him, and trust,
you know, is the first step to friendli-
ness.
Tramping back for the pail Of honey
he had hidden under a little tree in
the Green Forest because two pals had
been too heavy to carry at once, Farm
er Browns boy was in the best of
spirits. He whistled as he trudged
along, way he has of doing when he
is happy. That honey, strained and
put up in glass jars, would sell readily,
and he would thus be able to add con-
siderable to his bank account. Farm
er Browns boy is thrifty in the very
best way-saving for tn, future with
out being mean in the present
81 wish" said he, II had gone back
yesterday for the honey in that old
dead tree. Then I would have been
ahead of Buster Bear AS it is he got
ahead of me. ! wanted that honey,
but | don't suppose | wanted it any
more than Buster did AS long as the
old black rascal was smart enough to
get it it is only fair that he should
have it, Then Farmer Browns boy
chuckled. ~ should have said that he
should have had it, for he hasn't cot
it now he added Il should think
that such lot of sweet would have
made him sick, but I don't suppose it
did"
He reached the little tree and
pushed aside the branches to reach
for his pail of honey. There was no
pan there! SO great was his sur
prise that for minute h, simply stood
staring rather stupidity at the SPOT
where he had left that pail of honey.
l,u lou see somehow he couldn't believe
.hat 1T was gone. Then hastily he
looked about to make sure that that
was the tree under which he had hid
oen that pail. That was the very tree ;
there could be no doubt about it.
anger surged up in the heart Of
Farmer Browns boy. 4 pail of honev
couldn't walk off of itself. Some one
had taken it. Some one must have seen
nm hide 1T there and then have stole n
IT, Was 1T boy or man? He couldn't
think of one of his neighbors who would
40 such thing. 1t must have been done
by stranger. Farmer Browns boy
started to look for tracks.
Almost at once he caught sight of
something shining some little distance
away. He hurried over to it. 1t was
pail, his pail, and it was empty!

Life Just One Hold-Up
After Another for Hindli
Delicatessen Keeper Robbed for
Third Time by Three
Armed Men i'm Store

Chronologcally considered the life
of Norman Hindli, delicatessan
dealer ut 836 Seventh Avenue, is just
one hold-up after another. The rob-
bers have scored on Hindi three times
within the last seven months. The
last adventure was registered at 2:3O
o'clock yesterday morning.
Hindli was preparing an order for
Herman Pittsley a guest at the Hotel
Grenoble, when three armed men en-
tered his place and told dealer and
customer to hold up their hands. The
victims were then forced into a closet
in rear room and Hndli, moving
With reluctance, was struck twice on
the head with the butt OF a revolver.
The robbers then took $129 from the
cash register and a diamond stick pin,
valued at $50, as we'll as small
amount of currency, from Pttslcy,
after which they departed.
An ambulance surgeon from Belle
vue Hospital dressed Hindli's wounds.
He was not seriously injured.

Farmer Browns Boy.

There wasn't so much as drop of
honey. inside it was almost as clean
a s if it had been washed. And then
Farmer Browns 10y saw footprint, a
great big footprint 1t was the print
of one of Buster Bears big feet.
The thief! The big black thief"
cried Farmer Browns boy, growing
angriel than ever as he recognized
that footprint "lll-Ill'--
But what Farmer Browns boy was
going to say never will be known. You
see right there his sense of fairness
overcame his anger and melted it
quite away. He grinned rather rue
fully. buster Bear, you are a smart
Old rascal" said Re, just IS if Buster
Bear were there to hear him. "You
must have followed me and found hat
pail of honey, and as the law the
Green Forest is that what one 1lnds
one has right to take you saw no
wrong in helping yourself. Well, I
guess we are even now. ! suppose you
think I cheated you out of the honey
in that first tree. You got ahead Of
me at that second tree. And now we
have divided the honey from this last
tree. Well | hope you've had enough
to last you for while
The funny side of it struck Farmer
Browns boy. He laughed until his
sides ached. The he picked up the
empty pail and went after the box of
Bees he had left near the Bee-tree and
once more he began to whistle. You
zee, he understood Buster Bear and
just how Buster Bear had felt.
