It Is. however, frequently scaled, not only by daring men, hut also by ad venturous women. Almost dally, In the months of July and August, human be ings may be seen through the telescope crawling like flies up the rocky ridge on the Swiss side of the mountain. It was first conquered by Kdward Whymper, In the year 1885, and he thus records his impressions of the pano rama visible from Its summit: "If I recall to memory that solemn hour there reappears before my eyes dis tinctly the huge massy belt of ranges, from which rise so many towering em inences. I behold again the Dent Blanche's snowy top, the (iahelhorn and the Kothhorn's edged top, the In comparable Weisshorn. the Mlshahell horns resembling colossal towers, flanked by the Ailallnhorn, then 'lie Itlmpflshhorn and the Htrahlhorn; Anally Mont Rosa's numerous [leaks, Lyskamm and Brelthorn, In the back ground of the panorama the Bernese Oberland mountain family stands In re lief, overtowered by the Flnsteraar horn; also tho Simplon and Hnlnt-Oolt hard groups, la Disgrazla and the Ort ler. Southward the glance penetrates far beyond Chlasso, down to the plain of Piedmont. The mountain Vlso, 100 miles distant, seems to be tangibly close. "The ‘Maritime Alps,' which are 120 miles away, present themselves in se rene distinctness, totally free from mist. Towards tho east 1 greet my old friends Pelvoux, Kerins and Melje; the eye wandering subsequently to the Grajlc Alps, rests finally admiringly on King Mont Blanc, whose top resembles a crown of sunbeams. Far beneath me (3,300 m.) I detect the green meadows of Zermatt; glancing to another side the searching eye finds, at the depth of 2,700 m., the verdant pastures of Breull. Moreover, I remember dusky woods, fine meads, deep, still lakes, cultivated soils, and desolate wildernesses, fertile sunny plains and Icy, deserted eleva tions. The most singular formations and the softest outlines; rifted rocks and verdant undulated slopes; mount ains of rock varying with mountains of snow, some gloomy and solemn-look ing, some glistening merrily, adorned GEORGE'S SUICIDE THREATS. Ills Mother Woo Prepared for His Canal Little "HlufL" ‘‘I thought I was going to sell a oaa ket to one of my neighbors a few days ago." said the undertaker to the Kan sas City Times man. "A certain young man who has been dissipating consid erably of late and has got himself Into debt became desperate and threatened on several occasions to commit sui cide if his widowed mother did not give him some of the money she had torrowod on their little home In West port. Not long ago he went home with a desperate look on his fare and, call ing his mother into the parlor. Bald, as he pulled a revolver from his hip pocket: " ‘I will have the money or right here I will end my miserable existence.’ " 'Walt! Walt!' screamed his mother as she rushed from the room. A look of satisfaction overspread the young man's face as he mumbled to himself about knowing he would get It, but he was destined to disappointment. "In u moment his mother returned carrying a large rug. Quietly she spread It down on the carpet, and then, straightening up, said: " ‘Now, George, go ahead. I was afraid you would spoil my carpet with bloodstains.’ "The boy almost sank to the floor in his astonishment and disappointment. He was sure If he made a bluff at shoot ing himself his mother would accede to his unjust demands and give him the little money she was raving to buy the necessaries of life with, hut on the day before she had come over to ray house and told my wife about the threats. My wife put the Idea Into her head to bluff her son the next time he threatened to commit suicide. Kin- was afraid to try; but, summoning up all her nerve, she carried out Instructions and succeeded, "The boy hasn’t said a word about dying since.” On Time. The American boy is not the only ono It appears who sometimes has the sa gacity to apply for a situation Just In the nick of time. A Ixmdon paper tells of a small boy who dashed breathless Into a merchant's office and demanded: “Is the gov’nor In?” "Yes. what do you want?” "Must see him myself. Most pertlckler.” "But you can’t see him.” "Must, really—Immejlt. I tell you It Is most pertlckler.” The boy's Impor tunity at last won his admission.
