The dis patches say that they were stopped by a granit.- cliff, but my Interpretation la that; they did not have time enough to explore routes. Thy started too late. In climbing a new mountain the Important thing Is to pick out the route, snd after that comes the sscent. Tou cannot Jump right in and go up at 'any old place.' In eplte of this reported granite cliff, I believe that a route to the top can be found, and from the north side. When they turned back they were 8,000 feet higher than our party went, or within five miles, alr-llne. of ths top. I understand that another New York party is making plans for accomplishing th ascent." Ths pre-eminence of Mt. McKlnley among North American peaks was not discovered until 1898, although th mountain had bean known for at least 120 year a Mr. Brooks believes, however, that prlmscy has now reached ths point where it will remain, and that no higher elevation will ever be dis covered on thia continent. Why ita pre eminence waa not sooner realised will long remain a mystery. The mountain can be readily seen from Cook Inlet, which whs visited by the whites In 1TM), and run be seen ftotn the Yukon country, which has been widely visited for the lust twenty years It Is, to be sure, 125 miles Inland from tidewater, while Mt. Bt.-Kllas rises directly out of the ocean. Nevertheless, Mr. Broikj says that the first time he ever ssw Mt. McKlnley, and It was from an Interior point 120 miles sway. It looked enormous to him. He viewed It standing on an elevation of 4.000 feet, and still it roso very Impressively above all the adjn cenc peaks. When he afterwards saw it from th coast this impression of Its size was strengthened. He cannot understand why tt did not from the start convince all beholders of Its pre-eminence. Mt. McKlnley was not officially ascer tained to be the highest peak until IK'S, under examination of Robert Muldrow of th geolological sirvey. Three years before a man named Picky tfrote to on of the New York newspapers calling attention to the enormous height of th mountain, which he seemed to think he had discov ered. Ha made a wonderful good gueas on Ita elevation, or els ewaa saved by the ustural tendency to express estimates in round numbers. He said that it was to.ooe feet hiph, whereas the geological survey found it 10.200. Mt. St. Ellas, which la 11. 0-4 ftet higher, haa dropped to the fouth place among mountains of this continent after generations of school geographlea have saluted It as king. Some Tall Peaks. Mt. Ixgan on th Canadian side of the boundary Is 11,501 feet high and Orisaba, In Mexico, Is 1S.2US feet high. Then copies Mt. St. Ellas. Th two peak next In rank below It are the volcano Popocatepetl In Mexico, which has an elevatiou of 17.T feet, and ML IToraker, almost a twla pk to Mount McKlnley, whkh stands 17.0V feet above th sea' level. Mt. Igaii haa never been awended, and prob ably will not b fur many yeura to cunie. ral obstacles. Mt. tit. Kllas haa been one rllinhrd and that by ttie duke of th Abrbul, a cousin f the kuig o( luly. so tuaoceaslble la Itjr base, fifty niilea from th coast and over a country full of natu- The 'Russell party of the geological sur vey, however, developed the route which mad his final climb successful In the ex pedition in which they went within 4.000 feet of the top. Many people have climbed Orlznba. To reach its top Is merely a matter of endurance. Mr. Brooks thinks the value to science of the 'conquest of these high peaks is considerably exaggerated In the popular mind. "If parties on reaching such a sum mit," said Mr. Brooks, "could take plenty of good photographs something might be accomplished. But tbe chances are that they will leave their cameras behind. In their efforts to reduce the climbing load. They might not be able to us them after tbey reached the top sine howling snow storms prevail most of the time on the high mountain peaka. I think the sclen tlfla value of these ascents comes more in the effects on the climbers themselves, due to th rarefied atmosphere. The party now forming to climb Mt. Everest In the Himalayas, th highest peak on the glob, plan to spend some years In prepa ration. Its leader would not attempt to rush directly to the top, ir he could, but will live at different altitudes on the way until lila physical ayslem gets accustomed to them. 'Iloublful Value of Explorations. "Mountain climbing always brings some thing to light for geology as well as geog raphy, at least until th snow line is reached. After that there Is very little of geological value, except In the sheer cliffs. Observations might be mad on the rare faction of the air, which would be Import ant. The chief objection to this Is the weight of the Instruments. When the Rus sell parly made its expedition to Mt. St. Kilns they obtained a view back Into the range which has given the world a good Idea of its geography, and the duke's party, which had still better opportunities to see, has since added to It. In the study of glaciers the rehults of these two expedi tions have been very valuable, although this inquiry depends not so much on reach ing the mountain peak as in climbing Its sides. "Mt. McKlnley is not a volcanic peuk, but seems to ' made up of hard rocks among adjacent areas of softer rock ma terials, which have been worn away. There may have been an uplift at thin point of more recent date. Its position la rather suggestive. It stands almost in the apot where th '.rend of the North American continent changes to that of the Asiatic. A glance at the map shows that the general direction of ranges on the western coast of the United States Is northwesterly. This direction continues through Canada and Into Alaska, but there, and near the lati tude of Mt. McKlnley, that trend makes an abrupt turn and extends more westerly, as If to meet the mountains of Asia. Mt. McKlnley looks almost as If It were th hinge on which the two systems turn. Perils of ta tliatb. "It is difficult for persons who have climbed th lowtr mountains to realise that the ascent of some of these famous peaks csn be attended with so much difficulty. Troubles seem to Incraas In geometrical proportiop with th elevsllon. Th trans portation of supplies is a difficult problem after the snow Hue has been reached. le pots must b provided at suitable ramps, snd the iu turu rmjulr supplies for tblr ualuLciutiii. verahcr I Us 4UsUug light of the snow and the power and fury of the wind increase the difficulties of do ing anything. It is very hard to maintain a camp In a' hurricane. Nor is the liability of severe storms ever absent. Great crevasses and glaciers present peculiar perils, especially to the party finding its way for the first time. It Is no wonder that mountain climbing has become some thing of a profession In itself and that the highest peuks challenge the skill and cour age of man as' do few other exploits. The Indians do not climb these great heights, and it is Improbable that any human be ing has ever set foot on the summit of Mt. McKlnley. The millions of Asia have been satisfied to glance up towards the subllmest peaks' of the Himalayas, Instead of mount Ing them, in order to look across over the roof of he world.' "Boston Transcript. PUTS WALTERSJJUT OF RACE I nldentined Wayfarer Holds the Belt for Game Jal Tried to Play. Jul Wallers in a main-strength play called "Sidetracked" used to depict on the stage how easy It Is for a vagabond to feel perfectly at home, no matter where quartered, but an unidentified Individual in Omaha put him to shame this week and as a result the police are looking for him. This person used an untenanted furnished houae for several days and lived In royal style, consuming all th provisions, making huge Inroads on th coal pile and free use of the table and bed linen. Mrs. Dora Nelson, a widow of 7 years, who lives alone in Taclflc alley, between Fourth and Fifth streets", left her neat lit tle home a few days ago to spend the re mainder of the winter with her daughter, Mrs. Robert Paxton, at Ninth and Ouk streets. Not lo'lg after she had gone, the wayfarer entered through a window. He spent three days In the house, keeping him self warm arid rooking his own food. Every Jar of jelly, preserves and pickles In the pantry was opened and tested, an oil stove used for cooking light meulx snd the house littered with debris of luncheons and cigar ette stubs. When Mrs. Psxton called Thursday to get soma of her mother's clothing, the uninvited guest, had a meal of potatoes and bacon under way and the oder was permeating the rooms. Aa Mrs. I'axton entered the Intruder weut out through a window and has not yet been sosn. In fact, Mrs. Pax ton did not see him and has no description. Neighbors failed to delect his presence In he houae, which they thought vacant.

Just now Nebraska women are the envy of all clubdom, for they hold the honor of being the only club women who have been asked to contribute to the educational ex hibit of the Louisiana Purchase exposition. "Why should Nebraska be so excepted?" "How did you ever accomplish it?" "Why ar the club women"of other states not so recognized?" and like questions are being asked of them, to all of which they have but one answer "Educate your men." In fact, this recognition has been one of the greatest encouragements that has come to the women and is proof, to the discerning at least, that their efforts have been edu cative In the truest, broadest sense. Prof. Barbour of the University of Nebraska, superintendent of the educational exhlr.lt I nt th mt mt 0 hfll ftaM ttmt he onrmillprs the clubs one of the chief educational mediums of the state. "Colleges for married women," as he has expressed It. The fact that Mr. Barbour found other member of the edu cational commission so at variance with his opinion In this matter, is accepted as additional evidence that Nebraska has at tained a place In advance that deserves the reward it has received. Th women's board, auxiliary tr the Iowa commission to the St. IauIs exposition, met Monday and Tuesday at Pea Moines to con fer with the members of the commission. The auxiliary consists of Mrs. Horace Dee mer of Red Oak, Mrs. W. 11. Bailey of lies Moines and Mrs. W. II. Howe of Marshall town, three of the most prominent club women of th tate, and It will be their duty to assist In the furnishing of the Iowa building, and to arrange the exhibit of the I handicraft of the women of the atate that will not enter the general competition. In speaking of their plans Mrs. Ueemer stated that one feature would be the collection of the works of all Iowa authors and all the composers of the atate to be exhibited In the building. Pictures of the library build Inge and other public buildings of the state will be used in the decoration of the walls. The large attendance of Omaha club women at the meeting of th Nlnlh dis trict organisation of the Iowa Federation of Women's clubs, held In Council Bluffs Wednesday. Is promising of results In our own district federation. Th new vice president, Mrs. M. J. Monnett, was among the party that attended and it Is her in tention to have a district meeting In Omaha as soon as she can come sufficiently In touch with the clubs to arrange tbe most profitable meeting. In Iowa, the district organisations are not permanent and have no officers excepting the chairman who Is appointed by the state president. There has been no little discussion of late re garding the practicability of a permanent organisation and many women feel that the present arrangement, without finan cial prorlvlou for its work, is greatly handicapped and limited in its possibilities.

Mr. Daniels said: "Little Joe Sharp 'owned a sleek, fat, black pup. "McNally run a butcher shop snd on day Joe heard him say h would glv 80 cents for a dog that when . ground up would make a pound of sausage. "Joe liked his dog, but concluded that for 60 cents he could buy two mors Ilk him and have money left, so fit took th pup te McNally and offered him up to b sacrificed. " 'Do you think he'll weigh a pound?" asked Jo of th butcher. " 'Yep. think he will.' said McNally, as he handed over the money. ' "The next duy he sent for Jo and gave him a nice link of sausage, which he said was mads from his puppy and told him to eat it himself and not to divide with any one, as It was a very rare more, In-, tended especially for hlmsen. , "That evening, when the link of sausag was served up on little Joe's plate, h tackled it with evident gusto, but soon weakened and pushing back from th tabl. ; looked into his father's face and said: .
