Rarefied Air Makes One Gasp,
Says Writer.
ENGLAND HONORS TWO EXPLORERS
View From Lofty Mountain of Switzer
land Is Incomparable, the Pano
ramic View Being So Immense
That Details Are Lost.
Washington, 13. C "The heart
thumps Irregularly, tho pulso goes up '
to 100. your knees knock together, and
your poor legs seem unwilling to car
ry you. Your throat is parched, you
feel suffocated, your chest seems
loaded down with a great weight, nnd
Buch a feeling of uter exhaustion 1"
This Is not a patent medicine adver
tisement. It Is Walter Woodburn
Hyde's description of one's condition
on reaching tho summit of .Mont Diane. I
Switzerland, as written to tho na
tional geographic society at Washing
ton, D. P.
"Tho' air has now become so rare
that oven tho stoutost guide Is com
pelled to tako breath every few steps,"
ho continues. "If you over saw un '
asthmatic man trying to walk up hill
whilo a paroxysm was on him, you can
form some Idea of tho last part of tho
ascent. And what do you think is the
first uso made of tho glorious view
after all these- hours of toil7 Do you
open your eyes wido In astonishment
nt tho wonderful sight? Hy no means!
You shut them as tight as you can and
throw yourself down on tho snow In
utter weariness of mind and body, re
senting tho Impertinonco of your
guides, who urgo( you to look about.
Hut it Is too cold to sleep, and soon
you aro up trying to keep warm.
"Tho view, if you have any deslro
to see it, is Indeed Incomparable. Tho
panorama heforo you is immense; but
everything Is on such a grand scalo,
great agglomerations of plains nnd
mountains, that all details cscapo you.
Moot of Switzerland, great portions of
France as fur south as Lyons, nnd tho
plains of Piedmont nnd Lombardy, in
Italy, aro spread out before you. Tho
cold was so intense that five minutes
after arriving at tho summit wo were
all ready to begin tho descent.
"Although tho ascent of Mont Dlnnc
offers no greater dangers than that of
some other Swiss mountains, It hao
tho namo of being tho longest and
most exhausting climb In tho Alps,
i Whilo such peaks as tho Mntterhorn
nnd the Chamonlx Aiguilles aro so
formed that no great quantities of
snow can cling to their sides, and con
sequently present for tho most part
merely dangers Incident to rock
climbing, Mont Diane, from Its peculiar
formation, is almost wholly burled In
Its upper reaches In onow and glacier,
so that crevasses and avalanches and
all other dangers peculiar to snow

brings a long coll or rope, almost 100
feet in length, slung over his shouldor.
"Ten thousand feet above tho sea is
an island of rock projecting from tho

here, whero the climber can spond tho

FORTUNE "FOR USE OF KING"
Intestate Spinster's $255,000 Estate
Will Revert to tho Crowned
Head of England.
London. Southport's lntestato
spinster, Miss Amnnda Cooper, hns
provided the crown with one of its
f greatest windfalls. Her fortuno of
$255,000 will bo paid to tho treasury
"for tho uso of the king." The phrase
Is no empty form of words, for his
majesty does have actual control over
all estates which revert to tho crown
in consequenco of their owners dying
without relatives. If theso crown
windfalls are estimated over a long
course of years It will bo found that
tho Southport amount ha3 'several

Lemuel Was Wrong He Came Back Next Day
jfr ASHINaTON Lemuel ambled Into the mnrrlago license ofllco the other
W day wearing his workaday clothes. ,
"Docs 1 get my llcenso heuhV" Lemuel wanted to know.
"You do," responded the clerk.
"Don," said Lemuel with dignity,
"you kin make It out fo' me,"
Ho unhosltntlngly guvo answers
to the various form questions pro
pounded to him And when this was
concluded he reached for tho paper
which ho had signed.
"Not yet," said the clerk gently,
"not yet You must take tho oath and
pay tho dollar."
"Tako do oath?" said Lemuel.
"Man, what kind of oath Is dot?"
"You must take oath that what you have Btatod Is the truth "
"And den," said Lemuel in a pained voice, "after 1 takp dat oath I gotta
lay a dollar besides'"
"It Is tho law," said the marriage llcenso clerk solemnly.
Lemuel turned toward the door. .
"I reckon I'll wait till next yeah," he stated. "I didn't reckon when 1
cum to get married you white folks would make mo do all do wo'k."
Uut Lemuel wns wrong. He didn't wait until next year. He came next
day. And at the outside door of the courthouse tho voice of his futuro bride
could be heard as sho dragged him toward tho office. And theso were her
soft Bontlments:
"Now, you trlllln' no-account, you all gimme dat dollah en I'll pay fo' do
license. And if you don't tak' dat oath right I'll bus' you when I get outside
sho's I live!"
So the reporter drifted Into tho marriage license ofllco and saw Lemuel
obediently take the oathafter his future spouso had elaborately lnld down
the dollar.

Gets Amusement Out of Bewig a "Doppelganger"
EVERY president seems fated to have somewhere In his neighborhood a
"doppelganger," as tho GerraanB call It; in English, a "double" some
one who resembles him no closely that he Is continually bolng mistaken foi

also in public life. He Is Representa

As Representative McKenzle was
leisurely strolling through the lobby
of a Washington hotel one evening
last winter n stranger approached
him
"Pardon mo, Mr. President," ho said, with a frown of concern. "I know
you aro most democratic in your habits and tho peoplo ndmlro you for it, but
really, sir, this is too groat a risk for tho ruler of tho United States to take,
thus wandering about tho city at night, alone and unattended by even a
slnglo guard. You owe It to the people to be more careful."
Mr. McKenzle bowed In acknowledgment, and, laying his hand upon his
shoulder In a friendly way, thanked him for his kind Interest, and, promising
to bo more careful in future, passed on, leaving the stranger in an ecstatic
Irance.
"I didn't have the heart to tell the fellow tho brutal truth and spoil his
evenings for the rest of tho winter, at tho lodgo and the corner drug store
and tho table when there's company for dinner," remarked Mr. McKenzle

tho trainmen to throw her off were
not successful.
Tho cow went on Into Nowark, and

ncross on tho footpath, In spite of tho
attempts of tho brldgetenders to stop

Then sho returned to tho tracks and

was no footpath. Hore her legs
slipped down through tho gaps be

apparatus brought her out.
THERE'S many a slip 'twixt shooting the train robber and getting the
reward, and that's why Jim Yokum of Red Bluff, Cnl., is going about these
days with a rueful countenance on which the gloom Is settled as thickly as
the white powdor on some of tho
artificial ladles we seo nowadays.
Jim's a train hand of some sort.

Francis John Dyer of L03 Angeles
and other Pacific coast points told
your correspondent, and ho said Jim
is a train hand. At any rate, Jim
saw two men crawl Into tho mall car
of his train whlle.it wns stopping at
Delta, Cal. Like a trao moving pic
ture hero, he drew his shooting Irons nnd began pepporing the robbers. They
returned tho lire, but Jim's unerring nim brought ono of the villains to tho
ground silent. Jim had killed him. Tho other fellow ran.
Now that was a fair day's work for a train hand, and Jim began to get
all swelled up ovor It, and applied to tho post ofllco department for that thou
sand dollars reward which he understood to bo standing for just such cases.
Tho post .office department opened his letter, yawned, rubber stamped it,
passed it on through soveral million miles of red tape and returned It to
Jim with something llko this:
"Sir: In reply to your osteomed favor of recent date ve beg to adviso
that tho reward which you claim Is offered only in the case of mall train rob
bers arrested and convicted."
Jim wns dumfounded. Ho had neither arrested nor convicted his robber.
Ho had merely killed him
And unless some member of Jim's congressional delegation gets through
a special act for him, Jim will go unrewarded. He can't even collect the cost
of tho bullets ho used.

YOU aro respectfully invited to consider tho shedding of teeth. It Is a
