side, following the pass wl; ch we discovered
and taking our route to the north side of
the range until they reached the base of the
mountain at the point from which they
made their attempt at ascent. 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

17.0V feet above th sea' level. Mt.

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.

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

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.
The oratory department of (he Woman's
club gave a private recital Wednesday

J. II. Daniels of Dundee told a dog story,
which Is appended in view of tlte fact
that he challenges all comers to tell a
better one. 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:
. " 'Pa, a feller hales to eat his own dog,
don't he?' "
