Mounted a Piillof Lo( nmt Made the Journey In Safety — A Remarkable Bid* on the Bnek of Death—Second• Boomed Mlnntoo. a George D. Williamson, now engaged In mining near Lake City, Col., tells a thrilling story of his experience In a snowsllde In the mountains of Hins dale county. Mr. Williamson and a companion had been to look at a mining claim In which they were Interested and were returning along the trail when they came to a point at which there were evidences of a movement of a heavy mass of snow lying on the mountain side. “I saw that It was liable to move again at any time,” said Mr. William son, "and started back with the remark that it was much as a man’s life was worth to attempt to cross the snow that had poured across the trail. From where we stood to the bottom of the gulch was about 1,000 feet, and we could see that the movement of the snow had stopped about fifty feet be i low the trail on which we were stand ing. I thought that by going around the trail carefully we could escape and save ourselves a long trip. I be gan clambering down the rocks on the edge of the slide. When I had reach ed a point near the end of the slide I looked back to where my^friend stood at a safe distance and called to him that It was all right. A big dead tree had been brought down by the slide and rested on about three feet of snow, packed quite solid. The top of the tree projected about twenty feet be yond the end of the slide. Instead of going around the tree I sprang upon the trunk. Intending to leap from it to the ground on the other side. The mo ment I touched the log I knew I was gone. Whether the slide started of its own weight or whether my weight started It I will never know, but in an Instant I was flying down the moun tain. As the log began to move 1 dropped and fell astride It, grasping a limb In front of me with both hands. I heard the scream of my friend as I began to move and then heard nothing more except the terrible roar of an avalanche behind me. There were no trees In the way and the log went as straight as a die down the mountain side, fortunately for me keeping on top of the snow. I don’t know what I thought There was no time to do much thinking, and all my energy was devoted to the maintenance of my po sition. We passed some dead bushes,the broken twigs from which were dashed into my face, cutting the skin, and the wind almost stopped my breath. At the bottom of the narrow gulch the tree stopped ror an instant, out Be fore I could get off the pressure of the snow behind started It again, and it shot up the side of the opposite hill with but scarcely little dlminuation of force. “Gradually the avalanche spent Its energy, and when the log came to a standstill I was sitting on it. holding the limb tightly more than 200 feet up the mountain side, while behind me the snow, timbers and rocks filled the gulch to the level of my position, forming a bridge 150 feet high. The whole thing was over in half a min ute, and except for the scratches on my face I was unhurt. As I shook the snow off and looked around I saw my friend tearing down the mountain on the other side of the gulch with the ex pectation that he would And my man gled body under the debris. Needless to say, he was astonished when he heard of my remarkable ride on the back of Death.” Holland’s Young Queen. Queen Wllhelmina of the Nether lands dislikes to be called “the little queen.” She thinks the phrase reflects upon her kingdom, and she is 5 feet 11% inches in height. The queen of Spain is 5 feet 5 2-5 inches; the em press of Russia, 5 feet 2% inches; the empress of Germany and Queen Vic toria, still smaller. Aside from her heigh', the young Dutch queen is also of the best build. Her 21%-lnch waist measure and 42-Inch bust gives an ad mirable proportion. Her powers of endurance were well tested on coro nation day. when for six long hours she wore the ceremonial mantle of red velvet trimmed with ermine, a weight of not less than thirty pounds, and showed no marked symptoms of fa tigue. What Johnnie Wanted to Sing. In one of the schools of Worc ester, Mass., the teacher, intending to relieve the monotony ol ' he regular exercises, asked the vuptls ii they would not like to sing. Of course there was an in stant ciumor in the affirmative and then the teacher U3l:ed what song they would prefer. One little boy, in his esgerncss to make the selection, spluttered out something which the teacher did not catch. Turning to the boy across the aisle, she asked what Johnnie said. “Please,” came the un expected answer, “he says be wants to sing ‘His Country, ’Tis of Him.’" A Good Flan The landlady looked solemnly In the direction of the delinquent one. “It’s a rule in this house to pay as you go,” said she.
