Must Risk Life to
Look From Mountain

Do you know that the weather is
manufactured on huge rock on Look
out mountain, Chattanooga, Tenn. and
not at Medicine Hat or Washington as
we have always supposed? The wealth
er rock is a giant slab Of peculiar
shape projecting from the mountain
top far over the green valley 1900
feet below. 1t Is necessary to crawl
out on hands and knees to look over
the edge, but the view is we'll worth
the peril. Farms, villages, white high
ways, wooded hills and winding rivers
are so far below the adventurous spec
tatOr that the country looks like a fiat
map done In emerald and silver, much
as 1t does from an airplane. 1t takes
iron nerves and a clear and steady
brain to peer over the dizzy verge, even
lying fiat on ones stomach simple
slip means certain death, as there is
not so much as a blade Of grass to
hold on by. only the smooth gray rock
and loose pebbles. which roll at a
touch and give one the sickening SEN
satiOn Of sliding toward the edge.

Great Artist Reached
Helping Hand to Many

When a man becomes so eminent
that he is in class quite by himself
legend springs up all around him and
everything that he says is quoted and
handed about, Edwin Fl. Blashf1eld
writes In the North American Review.
It is noteworthy indeed that among
all the stories not one has ever been
to John Singer Sargent's disadvan-
tage. Modest he was and generous to
his fellows, delicately considerable and
magnanimous.
When Carroll Beckwith, one of the
most intimate friends of his youth,
died, his widow told me that John, as
she always called Sargent, retouched
for her many of CAROLS studies to
put. them in more finished and sale
able condition, and when Abbey's
hand was arrested in the midst Of his
decorative work for the Pennsylvania
capitol at Harrisburg Sargent hurri-
eddy made a long journey to superin-
tend the completion of some of the
panels, experimenting, nota bene,
with careful avoidance of person
ally touching brush to the canvas.
Wise he was, too, as to theory, and
valiant es to principle; in the days Of
reactiOnaries he was a progressive,
and when the race for notoriety at
any price began he was conserva-
tive. In one Of his letters to me he
declares that, as for himself, as he
grows old he Is becoming rather
proud of being called pompier."

Rose Bushes That May
Be Chased as Freaks

AS rule rose bushes are not classed
with yews and oaks among the long
lived and ancient, but a rose tree on
the wall of Hildesheim cathedral,
Prussia, can be traced back with GER
tainty to the Eleventh century. Its
main trunk has a thickness Of 20
inches. and the branches spread over
the wall to height Of 25 feet.
The castle Of Chillon, on Lake &c
neva, in which the famous Prisoner
OF Byron's poem was informed, has a
very large rose tree of unknown age,
and in the Marine gardens at Toulon
there is one that spreads across a
space of 80 feet by Is feet, and which
has been known to bear $1,000 blooms
at the same time!
The biggest rose tree in Europe Is
in the Wehrle gardens In Friesburg,
Germany. Its stock is a wild rose on
which a "tea rose" was grated 40
years ago. Today the bush is 12O
feet high.

Excellent Idea Il
Umbrella 9 Exchange

Brussels appears to be the only city
which has well-organized umbrella
borrowing bureau. The annual sub
scription is low, but If every umbrella
user were to join such a society, Its
income would be enormous.
The idea Is rather similar to that
In force at the British museum, Ma
tional gallery and other public insti-
tutions, where you are required to de-
posit your CAMP before being al
lowed to go round the galleries. You
get ticket Of metal, or a bone disk,
which will redeem your umbrella at
any time; only, in the case of the um-
brella exchange, the umbrella is not
your own, but the property Of the so
ciety.
Each member, on paying his sub
scription. receives token, usually of
metal stamped with an index number,
which he carries In his pocket instead
Of an umbrella in his hand. When
caught by the rain, all he has to do
IL to 60 to one Of the society's agen-
cfes. which are tobacco shops, restaur-
ants and big stores, and hand over the
token, to be Immediately provided
with an umbrella.
When the rain ceases the borrower
deposits his umbrella in the next
agency he happens to pass, and in
exchange receives another counter.

Bark "Wrapping Paper"

The Chopi Tibetans retain their in
dividuality partly because they inhabit
inaccessible mountains. At their cap
ital, Choni, on the Tao river, lives the
hereditary Chinese ruler of 4S tribes
OF this people. He can levy taxes,
quell rebelliOns and administer punish
ment. but the Chinese say of him, HE
has the pigs head. but cannot find the
door of the temple They imply that
he Is willing to give brides to keep
his position, but too many officials ex-
pect them, and he cannot tell which
deserve the largest. A recent study
OF the province includes extensive
botanical and geological observations.
One tree, known locally as the "red
BIRCH is boon to traders. 1t has a
shining, brown, papery bark. which
peels off in large, thin sheets, which
are used by Tibetans and Chinese for
wrapping butter and other food ar.
ticleS.

Ostrich Father

AT this season on my South African
ostrich farm" said an ostrich farmer
you will see some male birds strut
ting proudly about with three or four
broods in addition to their own, while
other males NOPE wretchedly without
any bro0ds at all.
THE male ostrich, you see, is very
fond parent. He swaggers away from
the nest In the morning to give his
young ones an airing, and when he
spies another male occupied In the
same way he puts up fight and, II
he wins, he collars the beaten birds
brood.
ITO see one of these proud males
In the spring Of the year swelling
round with goodness knows how many
little ones is a sight to bring tears
to true fathers eyes."-Rehoboth

The Redwood County All Club
Association Board of Directors met
at the County Agents office Mon
day evening the 21st, to make their
plans for the dedication program on
Thursday afternoon, parade before
the Grand Stand in the afternoon
and stunts before the Grand Stand
in the evening. Every one in Red
wood County should attend the Coun-
ty Fair to see these events as well as
the many other splendid exhibits,

There Were Others

The young man tesitatingly entered
her fathers presence. With prellmi-
nary clearing of the throat and nerv-
GUS twitch Of his fingers. he said:

"You may" said the father, prompt

The first official use of postage
stamps was sanctioned by act of con-
gress Of March, 1847. On July 1, 1847,
the first stamps were issued. They
were Scent and 1O-cent stamp. The
Scent stamp bore the likeness of
Franklin, while the 10-cent stamp bore
the portrait Of Washington from
Stuart's painting. Professional stamps
were issued prior to 1847 and were
used by postmasters at some Of the
larger Offices. They consisted Of an
impression placed upon letters with
impressions such as paid Sc" the
name Of the Office. etc. These stamps
are very rare and are among the most
valuable known.

FairmOnt Good Host To
State Club Women

tribute to her memory, two Of the
members having written original
tributes which were tender and beau
tiful. At the close Of the tribute
each person speaking placed single
red rose in a basket of ferns and
white blossoms, the final effect be-
ing the covering of the white bios
SONS of sorrow with the red rose of
victory, the green symbolizing the
tndying affection in which Mrs.
Rounds is held. Music suitable to
the occasion was sung during the
service.
The music throughout the conven-
ton was unusually fine. artists of
Fairmont singing generously and
beautifully. The Fairmont Mems Oct
cite captivated it's audience and the
Boys Band was another feature that
caused much admiring comment. In
addition there were number OF very
excellent solo numbers showing that
good music by real artists is among
Fairmont's big assets. The Second
State Choral Contest, sponsored by
the Federation was won by the group
of six women from Bertha, Monte
video taking second honors. This
contest was one Of the big events of
the convention, six districts being
represented in it.
Fairmont very beautifully closed
the convention with tea in the Le-
gion Hall which was beautifully de-
corated for the occasion. Each of
the five clubs entertaining had a
table from which tea and delicious
cakes were served. This function
in which club members were given
an opportunity to meet the new off
GERS, and to bid each other goodbye
for another year fostered the Fedora
ton spirit possibly more than any
other feature of the meeting. Too
much cannot be said in praise of
the women of Fairmont for their
gracious hospitality, for their excel
lent arrangements for caring for so
large a body of people, for their love-
ly spirit of kindness and for their
executive ability. Headed by Mrs. G.
H. Luedtke they did the gigantic
work of entertaining the Fedora
tons largest convention, doing it
graciously, gracefully and without
apparent friction. Financially they
were aided by the Kiwanis and Rot
airy Clubs. these clubs also acting as
hosts in the hours drive about Fair
mont when 101 cars were required
to carry the visitors. This. ride
alone, displaying as it did all the
beauties Of Fairmont was well worth
the trip to the City Of Lakes, and the
large number of women from north
ern Minnesota who were in the south
ern section for the first time were
thrilled with the beauties shown
them. Fairmont has shown itself the
ideal host.

Mills for Min

There is tradition of boy from
London who was disappointed with
the country, where he went for holi-
day, because he saw them pump milk
from a dirty old cow"
The boys idea Of artificial milk Is
within realization, for after manufac-
tured butter we are to have artificial
milk. 1t is already consumed extern
sively in China and a mill Is to be
set up In France.
The Chinese drop q powder into
water, stir 1t and 1t becomes milk. The
powder is a sofa bean crushed. The
French mill Is to treat the bean SO as
to enable the milk powder to be sold
in packets. 1t is said that cheese Is
obtained by the same process.-Lon-

ON HOTEL BONUS
Stampede to Pay Begins
but. Grand Rush Is Ex-
pected Monday

Subscribers to the bonus of S65. 900
for the proposed 100000 tourist com
mercial hotel of Brownsville are stam-
peding the banks today.
The collection committee. E. j. Tucker
of the Merchants National Bank, Grow
er c. Wagner of the First National Bank
and A. H. Fernandez of the State Ma
tional Bank, announced that approx
mately $4,000 in notes have been taken
up by signors.
The committee sent letters to each con-
tributor to the bonus under date Of
March II announcing that, as provided
in the original agreement. the notes be-
came due one month after demand, on
April r. April 12 fails on Sunday, so
it is anticipated that the grand and
final rush will take place on Monday.
'The sooner the bonus of S65,000 is
actually in the hands of the hotel COM
mittee the sooner will actual work on the
100000 structure start" member of
the committee said today. "We hope
that every individual. firm or corpora
tion that has agreed to contribute to the
fund will have their money up by Mon
day evening. If they will do so it will
simplify matters a great DEAL" it was
stated.
Lee B. James and A. D. Dickinson Of
Brownsville are the men who will build
the hotel. Mr.. James has. just returned
from Florida where he went with his
architect. II. Wood Of the San Antonio
firm of Kel-Wood Company, for the
purpose of inspecting the modern hotels
of that state.
Mr.. James and Mr.. Wood spent ten
days touring Florida. The Brownsville
man is highly enthusiastic over what
he saw there.
"I would like to get up solid train
of Brownsville and other Valley folks
for a trip to Florida" Mr.. James said.
1T would certainly prove a revelation
to all. The trip convinces me of tho
superiority of the Valley over Florida
in every way. But we must do the
things ourselves here to start the ball
rolling this way"
