i- TRAMP KNEW HUMAN NATURE Simple Stratagem That Secured for "Knight of the Road" a Sub stantial Meal. A clever little bit of human nature was used by a "knight of the road" re cently on a matron living in a suburb f Pittsburg, and as a result he slept with a full stomach that night. The suburb is quite small, and when the tramp dropped oil a freight and imbled up the mala street he was quite hungry. There were about ten houses which gave fair chance of meals, and the tramp lost no time. He was not turprised when the first housewife clammed the door In his face, nor the econd, for that was natural and the proper thing to do. But when he ached the ninth house, or rather was elpod away, he was thoroughly dis gusted. The town certainly had him oodooed. After a short rest and a deep think the hungry one knocked at the door f the tenth house. "Madam, can you let a hungry man &Hve a bite to oat? I don't think you ean, though," he said. The woman aliened her ears. "Why" can't 1?" she inquired. "The wou.an next door said idn't have enough for yourself." He got his meal.

The former president wrote from London and in formed the governor he was so busy that he had not the time to answer personally all the letters that came to him, but in this case he so ap preciated the invitation that he had done so. He suggested that the gover nor write to him again upon his re turn home. Secretary Junkin Files Report.

HE nation that leads the world In feverish busi ness activity re quires play grounds as well as workshops. says George Otis Smith, which is but an application to America of the old saw that all work and no play maices of Jack a dull boy. When Secretary Seward was endeavoring to enlist the support of the people for his project to purchase Alaska me of the somewhat esthetic argu ments by which he sought to gain advocates was that this great north western territory should be ac quired if for nothing else than that It would afford a magnificent sum mer playground for the American nation. Alaska's purchase is doubt less Justified on this score alone. and, while its varied topography af fords in truth a wonderful field to the tourist, there are much more readily accessible "playgrounds" within the. United States. Indeed, some lie at our very doors, although for lack of good transportation facil ities they may be more difficult of access than far distant points. The nation owes It to Itself, to the people cf the present day, and even more to those of a future con gested population to create into na tional parks the magnificent regions of the Rocky mountains and the High Sierra, which have little. If any, economic Importance, and thus preserve al ways their natu ral, wholesome beauties. Trans portation meth ods will quickly follow and thus new "play grounds" become accessible. U..5.

Mr. Mains filed personally as a democrat and Included in his filing a petition asking that his name also go on the populist ticket as a populist. Fire Drills in Schools. A. V. Johnson, fire commissioner, has taken up with State Superintend ent Bishop the proposition to have school teachers Instruct their pupils regarding fires, explosives, the use of matches and what to do in case of fire. Mr. Bishop wrote to the fire commissioner that he would be glad to co-operate with him in this movement. Calls on Bishop. J. W. Crabtree, formerly principal of the Peru normal school, was at the state house and bad a talk with Superintendent Bishop. Mr. Crabtree said he would not be a candidate for state superintendent if Mr. Bishop de sired to run again, but that if the su perintendent accepted the Iowa ofTer he may decide to run, though he had not fully determined the question. To Test Aeroplane Flights. The Lincoln Aero club just organ ized is planning to procure a tract of ground just outside the city limits for club grounds where test flights can be made with aeroplanes. Dr. G. D. Brownfield is working on a four foot model of a double bi-plane ma chine which be and members of the club think will have some advan tages over the Wright and Curtiss ma chines. The machine has revices which are especially advantageous in preserving the balance of the machine In the air. Turiey to Ask for Pardon. Mrs. Turiey, whose husband Is serving a sentence of seventeen years for the murder of a man with whom he was fighting, called on the governor and will probably ask for a hearing on an application for a par don for her husband. According to lier story, Turiey was out 3hootIng rabbits with his sons, when he ran into a man who was killing pigs with a pitchfork, that had broken into his field. Turiey spoke to the man and In turn he was set upon by the man, whom he killed in self-defense. Draws Fine of $1,CC0. Charles P. Fay of Haigler pleaded guilty in federal court last week to the offense of procuring a perjured affidavit in a homestead entry for land in Dundy county. He was fined $1,000 and paid that amount, with costs, into the office of Clerk McClay. Two separate bills were pending against Fay, but the second was dismissed. Nebraska State Institute. The Nebraska State institute closed with a program at the University farm. The secretary's records show that about 200 were enrolled in this institute. Of this number fifty were county super tendents, 100 city superintendents and twenty-five school officers. Superintendents from other states present and taking part in the program were E. T. Fairchild of Kansas, W. E. Harmon of Montana, C. G. Schultz of Minresota, John W. Zeller of Ohio, A. C. Nelson of Utah, and N. P. Swasson of South Dakota. Blackburn Files for Congress. Thomas W. Blackburn came to Lincoln and filed his name with the secretary of state as a candidate for the republican nomination for con gress in the Second district. Constitutional Amendment, Governor Shalienberger will soon be ready to designate the newspapers in which the proposed constitutional amendments are to be published. This was formerly done by the secre tary of state, but tht last legislature changed the law. A national Playgrounds as sociation for fcrown-ups, organ ized on some such basis as that of the Si erra club of Cali fornia, but with the United States tor its field of activities, would find important work to be done and would en list many ardent supporters. Numerous national parks have al ready been established by the government, some because of their recognized standing as natural wonderlands, such as Yellowstone, and others through insistent championship of enthusiasts. The youngest member of the playground fam ily, now knocking at the door for national protec tion, is the proposed Glacier National park In northern. Montana. There are some people In the east who do not even know that there are gla ciers in the United States today, but think of them as extinct monsters belonging to a past geo logic era. To such the very name. Glacier park. Is an education. There are no longer, it is true, vast continental glaciers; even the great frozen regions of Alaska are small in extent compared with the ancient glaciers, but the remnants of the onetime universal ice sheets, such as can be seen In Glacier park, are so majestic and numer ous as to awaken in the mind of the traveler sen timents of unbounded awe and wonder at Na ture's matchless handiwork. -Give a month at least to this precious re- Kanrn aM .!. m..l.. .... , .n... v, jo nuuii jmiiii, ume leu years ago, in speaking of the delights of this region. "The time will not be taken from the sum of your life. Instead of shortening it will Indefinitely lengthen It and make you truly immortal. Nor are the attractions of the Glacier park region confined to the scenic. Here lies, for in stance, the majestic Lake McDonald, full of brisk trout, as described by Mr. Mulr. in the heart of the splendid Flathead forests of giant pine, spruce and cedar, while ten miles above Is Ava lanche lake, shimmering at the foot of a group of glacier-laden mountains. Far up the white peaks one can hardly fail to meet the white goat or American chamois, while In other retreats dwell deer, elk and bear, and many smaller, sleek-furred animals enjoying their beautiful lives In company with numerous bird species. It Is hoped that the present session of con gress will preserve for the nation this latest playground and constitute it another of our na tional parks. It will then be our second largest park, surpassed only by the Yellowstone. Tho Sixtieth congress made a favorable re port on a Glacier park bill, which had also the strong support of the secretaries of the interior and agriculture. This report was based largely upon a topographic survey made four years ago by a United States geological survey party, and upon a later compilation by Robert H. Chapman, one of the party, embracing a total area of about 1.000.000 acres lying Just south of the Canadian line and between Flathead river and the Black feet Indian reservation. This area contains CO or more true glaciers, ranging in size from small glaciers of a few acres each to those covering five square miles. It also contains over 250 glacial lakes from a few hundred feet to ten miles In area. The Rocky mountain system in the United States abounds in regions of wild and magnificent scenery, but it is doubtful if any of them sur passes in grandeur and Interest that of Glacier park. From its area water flows to Hudson bay, the Gulf cf Mexico and the Pacific ocean. Mount Cleveland, its highest peak, reaches an eleva tion of 10.434 feet, and there are many other rug ged mountains ranging from 6.000 to 10.000 feet above sea level. This area of the northern Rocky mountains, says Mr. Chapman, which lies to the north of the Great Northern railway and to the south of the Canadian boundary, is one of the most beautiful mountain regions in the world. Approaching the divide from the plains region to the east, the mountains present to the traveler a Ai -.- mz$. m XV. Ft '', --; k" .- V u's,-x.o Tf -. . trj.

Across- these the game trails lead from valley to valley. Following the game came the Indians; the hunt er and the trapper. looking for easy routes of travel, followed the Indians; then came the government engineers exploring and mapping, and finally the hardier of the tourists and lovers of nature. Most of these passes are closed for many months of each year by the snow; some of them are avail able only after the use of the ax to give footing on the hard ice of gla ciers lying close to the Continental divide, but across one or two of them wagon roads may be built by which persons unfitted for the strenuous ef forts now required to reach the higher country may have opportunity to view It at close range. None of the passes that are south of the Canadian boun dary will ever be used for a railway route. There Is Interest In Canada which looks with favor upon the creation of the proposed Glacier park, and at 6orae future day the locomotive may cross from the Dominion to the wa ters of the Flathead river and wend southward to the towns and farming valleys adjacent to Columbia falls and Kalispell, forming a link between the v 3S ssas kfaaR ?85ftS xJrlSk A.A7097- 'WirE ?& A 'M .c. 72t& iuik :.- v-j se mi fir' v.n 7 - r.v; -L ,-.. i fiSS?.' K- ft l-"C? ttEAvena rock wall of great steepness extending northwest by southeast for unbroken miles ex cept where cut by deep U-shaped canyons. These have been large ly formed by the great glaciers which once slowly flowed from the mighty snow-covered peaks and ridges form ing the divide between the drainage of the At lantic and the Pacific oceans the northern continental divide. Deep In he canyons are roaring streams, com ing from the melting Ice and snow and flowing Into placid mountain lakes below. Between the canyons the long, finger-like ridges rise to consid erable heights, the timber-covered slopes ascend ing steeply until a region of brush-grown broken rock is reached, which in turn leads to the base of precipitous cliffs. The canyons at the head usually terminate in great amphitheaters, rising cliff over cliff in a stairway of tremendous pro portions. Many of the steps of these giant's stairways retain Ice masses which slowly flow across tfcem, each fed from a large Ice mass above until a region of huge snow banks Is reached. The main Rocky mountain mass Is actually made up of two principal parallel ridges, the Lewis and the Livingston ranges, which run ap proximately through the center of the proposed park. These ranges are the remnants of what was once a much wider plateau-like region of rock, which, however, has been mightily carved and. shattered by the forces of erosion, princi pally those of the great ancient glaciers. Resting upon this great mass are the higher peaks, huge pyramids and blocks, with din's and precipices of hundreds and sometimes thousands of feet, plunging away down to the roaring streams of the canyons or ending In the great crevasse at the head of some glacier. To the westward the mountains break pre cipitously, and from the foot of the steep. long, timber-covered ridges reach out toward the valley of the Flathead river. Between these ridges and extending un the canyons of the higher range are many miles of lakes. Joined by rushing streams similar to those on the eastern side. The whole park is inhabited by wild animals and birds and tho streams abound in many kinds of fish. In the higher barren rock areas the white goat is found in great numbers, while on the slightly lower ridges, where some protection Is afforded by stunted timber growth and brush and jagged slopes, the Rocky mountain sheep, or "bighorn," has his haunts. In the valleys and on the loner spur3 are many white-tail and black-tail deer and moose; In places a few elk are found, and over the whole area, from high glacier and snow-field to huckleberry bush region of valley and flat, roams the giant grizzly bear. All the game animals use the higher moun Sll !?. Ml J lLTCrY, w m Canadian Pacific and the Great Northern railroads. A route on the west side of the Flathead river, says Mr. Chapman, is very available for the loca tion of a railroad track. In order to open up this region of superb and unique scenery for the public, a few main road ways will be required along the streams, together with horse trails to points of especial Interest. Lake McDonald. It is pointed out in the senate report. lying near the southwestern boundary ot the proposed park. Is a sheet of water of un matched beauty, surrounded by scenery of such signal grandeur as to make a roadway along its eastern shore extremely desirable, but this. It Is stated. Is a matter for the future consideration of congress. The region combines all the elements of an Ideal "playground" as it stands. It needs only official designation to insure Its protection and perpetuity as such to stimulate the establishment of trans portation facilities, making It more readily avail able to visitors. While of interest geologically. It Is of little, if any, economic importance. The con-. ditions are particularly adapted to the study of the structure and history of mountain building, as the ancient forces of nature were most active and a tremendous folding and warping of the once hori zontally bedded rocks Is In many places apparent. At one time prospectors for copper flocked to the region, but no finds were made indicative of any economic deposits, and the same may be said as to oil. From the reconnaissance made by the geo logical survey it Is not believed that Glacier park contains any mineral-bearing formations of com mercial importance. However, If such are discov ered following the creation of the park there will be nothing to hinder their development. KEEP YOUR FEET STRAIGHT. How many men know how to walk? Most men turn their toes In or out. a writer In the New York Press says. The toes should not be turned either way. Tbey ought to point straight ahead, so that the foot at the end of each step can give the bodv that upward, forward impetus that results in what is called a springy walk. This does not mean that a man should walk exclusively on bis toes.

"Little of the city protruded above the snow during the past winter, though sunshine and heavy rains com bined to keep the average depth about 15 feet. Valdez presented a peculiar sight during the winter. Stovepipes and chimneys were just visible above the top of the snow, and entrances to the stores and houses were made by tunnels through the snow. All the business affairs had to be carried on by electric light, which was burned all winter, day and night. Hotels and boarding houses were crowded with miners waiting to start for the Inland mining districts over the Fairbanks trail. "A large number of miners went over the Fairbanks trail during the past year to claims In the interior of Alaska. Along this trail there are comfortable road houses every ten miles or so, and there are none of the hardships that were the portion of the earlier prospectors before the trail was established. "Many 'mushers as the miners are called up there, made the Journey from a dez to the Interior by one horse sleighs, and dog trains pulled by the Eskimo 'huskie- dogs, which are worth as much as good horses la that country."
