"MADE RECORD RIDE
TO MOUNTAIN TOP
Two white men and two Indians
recently rode saddle horses to the
summit of Squaw mountain, that peak
of the Rocky mountains lying neares*
Glacier Park hotel.
Hikers have for years made the
summit of this mountain at an eleva-
tion: of 7,820 feet, but never before
has a horse been taken over it.
Crow Feathers and Cut Finger,
Blackfoot Indians, accompanied by
Ernest K. Gann and Harlow Gieseke,
two St. Paul young men, accomplished
this difficult feat. Realizing the im-
portance of this accomplishment the
Glacier Park Hotel company has
taken up with the park superintend-
ent the proposition of having a horse
trail laid out along the route discov
ered by the Indians.
Crow Feathers says that a view
from this peak reveals the grazingZ
ground of mountain sheep and goats
upon the wall of rock forming the
edge of the Great Bowl. The horse
trail follows an old footpath but turns
aside before it hits the peak.
TANGIER NOTED AS
CITY OF INTRIGUE
Everyone in Tangier, Morocco, is
either a spy of some government or
interest concerned in Moroccan af-
fairs or is being spied upon. FProb-
ably the majority of the sples are vol-
unteers, enthusiastic amateurs who
get a great thrill out of slinking and
whispering about. They give a cer-
tain comic opera air to the place. If
one goes to Tangier for anything oth-
er than the ordinary tourist visit, the
chances are he wil’! acquire a private
spy of his own, assigned to follow him
about and report his actions and in-
tentions to the French or Spanish au-
thorities. With all its amusing fea-
tures, the spy industry of Tangier
has some excuse for being. While
Abd El! Krim was still a power, it
was at the tables of the Cafe Central
that many of the deals for the ship-
ment of contraband arms were made.
Because of its position on the strait
of Gibraltar, within sight of the Eu-
ropean shore, the city always has
been a place of intrigue.—New York
Times.
Not Welcome
Marjorie did not like the idea of &
aew baby brother. When her mother
returned home from the hospital their
meeting was a joyful one, and as
Marjorie settled herself on the bed for
a happy chat she noticed the little
stranger on the other side of her
mother.
With a small forefinger pointed at
the unwanted playmate, Marjorie de-
manded, “when is that hospital baby
going back to the hospital?”
Assessors Use Airplanes
fn Connecticut tax assessors are
using with good effect photographs of
interior lands to help in their assess-
ments. In one county the tax list
recorded 1,551 barns, garuges and
sheds, but when the air photographers
had finished their task it was found
there were 2,902 such buildings in that
area, with the result that the tax list
increased in value more than $0.
000,000.
Not So Good

FRENCH PORTERS
ROB TOURISTS
Charges for Service Said to
Be Excessive.
Paris.—One hundred francs for car-
rying two suitcases from the customs
shed at Cherbourg to the tender, a
trip of less than 100 yards, is charged
by porters.
The imposition has caused the for-
eign steamship companies to take
drastic steps against it. The union of
baggage porters appears to have sin-
gled out Americans for its holdup tac-
tics. In some instances passengers,
especially unescorted women, have
been literally robbed.
One American woman recently em-
barking on one of the ships flying the
American flag gave the porter 40
francs. He demanded that she open
her bag and produce more money.
Terrorized, the woman unclasped her
handbag and showed the porter one
20-franc note, all the French money
she had left.
“This will have to do,” said the
holdup man, snapping the bill away.
The woman shrieked, and one of the
officials came along and made the por-
ter disgorge but not without a short.
spirited fight.
These instances, which had multi-
plied by hundreds recently, caused the
skipper of an American ship to send
for the walking delegate of the por-
ters’ union and warn him that if such
sharp practice did not cease he would
call upon his crew to handle the bag-
gage and give them instructions to
give a forced bath to any porter ir
terfering.
“They never come back, these
people,” said the walking boss. “I
don’t see why we shouldn't get all we
can out of them.”
Wood of Palmetto Tree
Now Used for Furniture
Atlanta, Ga.—The sable palmetto
tree, emblematic of the state of South
Carolina, is about to attain its second
States. This time it will be chron-
fcled in the annals of furniture mann
facturing.
The tree received first historical
mention as a protection for the Ameri
can colonists in their defense of Fort
Moultrie, where the shot from the
British fleet sank harmlessly in the
soft, spongy logs.
His attention prompted by the
unique porous quality of the tree, a
large industrialist acquired a 300,000-
acre tract of groves and enlisted the
ald of 12 laboratories of furniture
companies in an attempt to apply ©
veneer finish.
The work was assigned to the wood-
work department of the Georgia
School of Technology, which, after a
two-year period of research, has just
succeeded in applying a glasslike ve
neered surface.
Its only use in the past has been
for dock piling and the building of
rugged, picturesque log cabins.
Eggless Custard Sale
Cost Him $10 Fine
Brockton, Mass.—Judge Carroll C.
King had a busy day in district court
here with cases that resulted from the
jrockton fair. One case established
itself as well out of the ordinary.
It concerned one Lester Kohn, a con-
cessionnaire at the grounds. He was
charged with “sale of custard contain-
ing no eggs.” State Health Inspector
Daniel G. McCarthy brought the
charge, claiming that Kohn was doing
a rushing business in selling custards,
but he informed Judge King that a
custard is not a custard without eggs.
Kohn paid a $10 fine and it is the
first time in the history of the local
court that a conviction has been made
on such a charge.

TTS AS Tee
Presidents, Popes
- Have Longest Lives
. Washington.—What class of
* persons live the longest as an
average?
Occupants of the White House
hold the record for longevity,
according to statistics on nota-
ble men compiled by Pitrim
Sorokin, a Russian economist.
Their average life span is al-
most exactly the biblical three-
score and ten.
Close on their heels as long-
lived mortals are the popes of
the Roman Catholic church,
who average 69.6 years. A third
group includes American mil-
lionaires, with 69.2 years. Schol-
ars and scientists average 67.3
years and writing men 64.4
years.
The poorest showing was
- made by the hereditary mon-
archs of Europe. Though this
group included some very long-
lived families, the average lon-
> gevity was only 538 years. In
. explanation of the poor showing
of kings, it has been pointed out
that other groups represent the
results of selection.
The presidency and the papa-
cy, for example, are both elec-
tive offices and are filled in-
variably by men of mature
years and usually good health,
who have made their own rec-
ords, while monarchs are nota-
bilities simply by accident of
birth, and by the same accident
of birth may come of stocks de-
cidedly inferior so far as health
and vigor are concerned,

course down her cheeks, “be that dog
out there.”
Suddenly she saw the dog, as he had
lain there unseen for weeks. She had
not once looked at him. Yet as tears |
blinded her she saw now, his face on
his paws, his dinner plate forgotten,
his eyes unwavering uopn the upper
window. She remembered him, tawny
and full of hope, beside the new po-
tatoes at market. She remembered
his waving plume, his pride in that
dreadful ham, in the discovered glove.
She had gone back and forth past him
and had not looked his way. To-day
she felt that she must look at him. Of
all the creatures in the world that she
might look upon this one had felt
what she was suffering. She wiped !
her eyes and looked at the unregarded |
Then she wiped them again.
figure.
Her eyes had been right the first time.
The dog was gone.
As she stared she saw the dangling
rope. Poppa must have tied him care-
lessly last night.
A terrible fear at her heart, she ran
noiselessly up the stairs. A shock
might kill Theodore. The doctor said
the worst of this cursed fever was
that it put such a strain on the heart.
The dog might have nosed up the
catch again. She had seen him do it
once.
At her son’s door she stopped.
Could she face what she might be
forced to see?
As she wavered she heard a voice,
scarcely more than a hoarse whisepr.
“Democrat!” she heard. :
As she pushed wide the half-ope
door she saw the dog, his eyes upon
the bed in the corner, sit up and beg.
The great eyes in the ghostlike face
on the pillow turned her way. Into
their new brightness she could see
that there stole a look of fear.
“I didn’t call him,” the white lips
whispered. “I never did after that
once.”
She came over by his bed. She
could hear Poppa stealing up the front
stairway.
“But I guess he knew I wanted
him,” the white lips formed.
“He's a good doctor,” said Momma.
“He'd better see you every day.”
The white lips smiled. It was their
first smile for so many weeks!
“Do you like him 7” they whispered.
“Yes,” she said.
“Doctor Prince,” said her son sleep-
ily as his eyelids closed. 3
Poppa, who had tiptoed in, was be-
side her, his arm was about her waist.
They stood together while Theodore’s
breath came gently in his sleep. As
they stood there a tawny head nosed
cautiously past her skirt until it rest-
ed on the counterpane. The eyes were
fixed unwavering on Theodore’s face.
Poppa’s arm tightened about the boy’s
mother.
“Give us a kiss,” he said gently.
She gave it to him, one arm about
his neck.
“Nobody in the world but that dog,”
she wept comfortably, when she had
kissed him, “had any sense at all.”
“He's a smart dog,” said Poppa.
Between them as Momma's free
hand wavered down to rest at last
kindly on Prince’s yellow head he
could feel the dog’s wholé body quiv-

Woodrow Wilson is Honored by Boy.
Woodrow Wilson was honored in a
fitting way this week by an Armistice
Day pilgrimage to little Bethlehem
Chapel on Mount St. Alban.
An 8-year-old boy tip-toed softly
through the gothic-arched chapel. In
his arms he carried a bouquet of cal-
la lillies and olive branches, and while
300 men and women watched him,
gently placed his tribute within the
crypt where sleeps his friend, the
dead President.
Gordon Grayson, son of Rear Ad-
miral Cary T. Grayson, was the little
boy. Each morning during the last ill-
ness of President Wilson, the boy was
a visitor, eagerly watched for by Mr.
Wilson.
The services this year on Mount St.
Alban were planned by the same band
of Washington women who before Mr.
Wilson died met at his home to plan
celebrations of Armistice Day. When
he passed on, the same women plan-
ned the memorial services to him, and
each year they place before the Presi-
dent’s widow the plans for the com-
ing event.
Seated amid the pilgrims and with
bowed head was Mrs. Wilson. Eulog-
ies were delivered by Bishop Freeman,
of the Washington Cathedral, and the
Rev. James H. Taylor, Mr. Wilson's |
Washington pastor and friend.
Mr. Wilson’s faithful followers filed
over the winding paths at the foot of
oaks and entered reverently into the
small chapel of a great cathedral.
Each arrival peered through the iron
grill which guards the stone bier, and
one by one they took their places in the
dimly lighted sanctuary. Men of
leisure and labor sat together and
women in elaborate dress shared seats
with the plainly garbed.
At 4 o'clock the organ piped its sig-
nal for the beginning of the proces-
sion from the outer chambers and 2a
male choir chanted the processional.
Slowly the men walked into the chap-
el, led as the Bible would have had it,
“py a little child,” Gordon Grayson.
The clergy and the lad went immedi-
ately to the crypt, where the grill was
opened for a moment to admit the
floral tribute, exemplary of the peace
Mr. Wilson fought for.
First Thanksgiving Preacher.
History records that the first
thanksgiving held in North America
was conducted by an English preacher
named Wolfall, in.the year 1578, on
the shores of Newfoundland.
