many years conducted a large wholesale

Teaks of Great Altitutlc.
Although Dr. Meyer has succeeded in
making the ascent of Kibo, the highest peak
on the Kilima-Njaro range, there is no occa
sion for any noted Alpine climber to s-it down
and v.-eep because there are no other moun
tains to conquer. The Alps, the Andes, Mt.
Cook in New Zealand and Kilima-Njaro are
all giants, certainly, but they are dwarfed by
some of the Thibetan mountains. Mr. CJraham
ascended one or two of these a few years ago,
but ho failed to reach the top of tho Kinchin
junga, v.hich is 8,000 feet higher than Kibo,
and Mt. Everest, tho highest peak in the
world, is still virgin soil. In tho Himalayan
range there are more than fifty jx-aks that
rise to a greater altitude than Kilima-Njaro,
which Dr. Meyer estimates close upon 120,000
feet. Tho Alpine clubs should establish
branches in central Asia. St. James' Ga

Recently wandering through the village
cemetery I noticed a granite slab leaning
against the white board fence and inquired
of a bright eyed, rosy cheeked 10-year-old
girl, who had volunteered to conduct me
safely through tho cemetery, the meaning of
tho tombstone leaning against the fence.
"That," the replied, "is for a lost grave.
4iCut what do you mean by a lost grave?"
"Oh, the story is that years and years ago
a little boy died, and the family didn't have
the money to erect a monument over the
grave. So they drove a stake down and after
n whilo moved away. They are wealth- now,
lut when they came back with tho monu

of the little boy they couldn't find the fxave.

Excessive Cigarette Smoking
Tho unusually large number of young men
who Lave lct n committed to the state insane
asylum of Michigan in tho last year and a
half has led to the discovery that almost all
of them smoked cigarettes to excess. In
many cases it is said to be absolutely certain
that cigarette smoking was tho cause of tho
insanity. It is also reported that a promi

A man who achieved considerable fame in
the vie-nity of Wall street as a concoetor o'
mivil drinks wax transferred to thu Hoffman
house not long sineo and put Ijehind tin
gorgeous liar, it was the ambition of his lifa
to !.; t there, and he was so elated at his suc

th; party, waved his hand and said shortly:
"Kce what the gentlemen will take," and
then went, on with his conversation with tho
men who .stood next to him.
The bartender asked several men in rapid
suvc:;siou, and they indicated their prefer
ences iii the usual curt manner. Finally, he
le:;iied over the bar toward amen with vliito
hair juid a black mustache, who stood talking
ecrnest 'y. For a long while ho could not
ciu:!i the inan' ear. It was Edward S.
Si -i.'.vs, tho proprietor of the Hoffman house.
The bartender pjx.ko to him a second time,
an-i, linully raising his voice, said respect
ful): 'What will you have, Col. Fiskr
S. - kes whirled around as if he had been
pi:;,; and a dead silence fell on the group,
whilo t he h irlender flushed and caught his
br :;th. Ho had lieun thinking of tho Fisk
Kl ' es assassination, and it ran in his head
so long that ho got the two r.:imes mixed.
For a.i instant Stokes did not sneak, then he
turned abruptly and walked out of tho bar
room, whilo the others pretende I to continue
their conversation, but all the while follow
ing with thoir cj'es the retreating form of
Stokes. An instant later tho si perm tendeut
ru.'.hed excitedly into the place, gkincetl for a
moment hurriedly around, went behind the
bar, stepiicd to tho new bartender and two
men hastily disappeared. Another bartender
itoppcd forward and a moment later Stokes
returned to h. croup, smoking and as calm
ond rercno as ever, but that bartender never
put foot in the Hoffman house ogam.
