Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1935-06-27

Leonards eyes began to burn with
strange light. No man had yet reached
the height to which the three had as
cended. The summit, realization of a
lfetime Of dreaming, was in their
grasp.
AS usual they were up before dawn,
and at the faintest hint Of daylight had
begun the climb. Progress was snail
like, every foot gained meant a tremen-
dous struggle. A slip now would mean
destruction to all three, SO precarious
were footholds. By noon they had &C
complished but scant 200 feet. An
hour later heavy mist enshrouded
them. Leonard knew the signs, and
great as was his eagerness, he was not
a fool. He led his companions back to
the upper camp, and for two days they
remained inside the shred Of a tent
that was their camp, while a fierce
storm ragged without.
On the third day it cleared, and again
they attempted to gain the summit.
But again storm overlook them and
they were forced to retreat.
That night they held a conference.
1t was, they agreed, an impossibility
for all three to gain the summit. Some
one must be left behind. Another camp
would have to be established further
up, and it would be out of the question
to transport enough food and equip
ment for three.
Cameron and Markham were young
er. They realized that If the thing
could be done, it would fall to them.
And yet they hesitated, knowing the
obsession that fairly haunted the mind
Of Neal Leonard.
Leonard was silent for a long time.
But at last he looked into the eyes Of
his two youthful companions and nod
ded. The two youths carried men,
DRY of that look for many year after
ward.
Early the next morning Cameron and
Markham started out. All day long
Leonard waited in the camp below with
his thoughts. At dusk the two youths
returned. 1t was impossible, they said,
to gain the summit. An insurmount-
able overhanging ledge jutted out and
prevented progress from all angles.
Leonard listened to the pair and said
nothing. The next morning he an
nounced he was going to attempt the
ascent alone. Markham and Cameron
tried to dissuade him, but the old vet
eran was obstinate. He departed with
his companions pleas still ringing Ia
his ears.
At night their companion had not re-
turned, and Markham and Cameron fell
into doze. By noon Of the next day
they began to lose hope. By mid-after-
noon they knew that no living thing
would have been able to withstand the
ravages of exposure for so long a pc
Rod.
They held on for another day, how
ever, and then descended to the next
camp. Here they waited three days
more and then sorrowfully began fight
ing their way downward.
That was the last time Neal Leonard
has ever been seen. The following
spring two aviators announced their in
tention Of flying over Glaciers sum-
init, no small feat In itself. And in
May Of the same year the act was &C
complished.
Among other things the aviators re-
ported seeing something that looked
like a torn piece of jacket plastered
against tiny mount on the summit.
Markham and Cameron, both of whom
heard the announcement, exchanged
startled glances. And, then, joyfully,
they knew. Old Neal Leonard had real
lied his ambition. Mount Glacier had
been conquered

supreme Cd La

Under the judiciary the United
States Supreme Court, 1789-1935.
Since the Supreme Court has been
established, there have been eleven
chief justices, and sixty-eight as
sociate justices; the highest posi-
ton colored man has held under
the above (justitia ct lex justice
and the law, is that of a messen-
ger.
In the House of Representatives
and Senate, the Legislative branch
es of the government, from 1889
1885, there are and have been thir-
ty-seven speakers of the House of
Representatives, and thirty-two
vice presidents.
The highest position a colored
man has held under those two de-
partments was that of doorman,
and clerk of the naval affairs com
mittee.
No Jobs
The above eleven major depart
ments of the government carry a
large number of sub-bureaus and
senai-independent heads; the scope
of which covers the United States
proper, and the continental United
States.
Since 1865, the best the colored
man has been awarded in the line
of positions under the above heads
has been some subordinate place,
except in some of the smaller sub
divisions, he has been made a sub
chief, without administrative au-
thority.
It has been the spirit and custom
not to appoint colored men to hon
orable administrative positions, UNI
Ger any Of the heads of the several
departments; but to call him to
war there is little hesitancy.

SERMONETTE
Dorcas a Female Deer)

TEXT: "This woman was full of
good works and almsdeeds which
she did."-Acts ESQ.
While the name Dorcas signifies
gentleness, tenderness, like the fe-
male deer, by the actions of the
woman mentioned in the text, the
name becomes a synonym Of the
most enviable and most helpful
qualities Of womankind.
1. Philanthropy. Philanthropy
means love for mankind and the
whole life of this woman was in
spired by such a love. Only deep
est interest in others could have
actuated her to make the contribu-
tons which she made to the well
being of others.
,. She Gave Concrete Demons
trations. The love of Dorcas for
others and her interest in others
did not end with expressions of in
terests and with good wishes. She
demonstrated these by her actions
- her almsdeeds, as given in the
text. 1t is stated that this wo-
man was full of good works" TO
Peter came widows whom she had
helped, weeping and showing the
garments she had made for them.
3. Every Woman Should Be A
Dorcas. Every woman should love
and serve others. Every woman
will have opportunity for such SER
vice. To be a Dorcas means the
joy of service and continuation of
the good after the doer has passed
to reward. There is no greater
life to which a woman can aspire
than that of a Dorcas-a helper of
others. Dorcas may her tribe
increase"
