AN EXCITING ADVENTURE.
William Hammen and A. F. West
pfahl are telling th'elr friends of an ex
perience they had last Wednesday on
tho east mountain In two feet of snow.
Both men are lamed from their strug
gle for life.
They have kodak picture of some
of the most remnrkablo of tho snow
scenes encountered In their travel,
which began In the early afternoon nnd
lasted until near midnight.
Mr. Westpfnhl Is employed In his
father's grocery store nt Plttslsu ave
nue and Willow street. Mr. Hammen
lives p. short distance away on Willow
street. Early Wednesday ufternoon
they started cut from home ct visit
friends at Ore Mine Sprlmr, a place
located n few miles from Mountain
lake. To reach tho Sprln.-j It is neces
sary to travel over an almost unbrok
en stretch of unsettled country. Mr.
Westpfnhl had his kodnk with him.
Snow wns falling and, it seorned, as
the two men trod onward, that tho
depth of white on the road Increased
until, when the top of tho mountain
was readied, walklnj; had become a
struggle. The men pushed on, however,
but nt duns wero still some distance
from the nnd of their destination. The
air was bitter cold nnd a strong breeze
lopped the mountain, chilling the two
tmvellers to the bone. It was only
their own exertion, as they plodded on,
that kept them fiom perishing from
the cold.
Finally, cl.'se upon midnight, Messrs.
Westpfnhl and Hamnien reached the
Hctirmient about the Ore mine. They
rested over night and through tho next
day, returning Frldnv.

Paying Oir the Mortgage,
From the Indianapolis News,
An unusual number of farmers who
have borrowed money from tho state are
paying off their loans theso days, "it
does a man good to sit here and witness
the prldo with which some of these old
farmers come In and pay off mortgages of
long standing," said nn employe In tho
state auditor's office. Just then a farmer
from Madison county camo In, "I went
to pay oft a mortgago of $100," said he,
"Do you want to pay with check or by
cash?" usked tho clerk.
"I've got tho money right here," Bald
tho old man, patting his breast pocket
nnd smiling with as much prldo as a boy
with his first pair of trousers. And whllo
the clerk was hunting tho mortgngo and
making tho order to tho recorder of Mndl
son county to relense It, tho old farmer
took out a roll of bills and counted It
over half a dozen times. Glad as ho was
to bo able to secure tho rcleaso ot tho
mortgage, ho seemed to part with tlio
money reluctnntly. When ho wns ready
to go ho modestly announced that ho
could now say that he owed no man n
cent. "Who says prosperity hns not re
turned?" said tho deputy auditor ns tho
old man left with his mortgage.
AN ACCOMMODATING GU1DK
Tho Interesting Advcnturo ol Two
Amerlcnn Girls.
W. E. Curtis, In tho Chicago Record,
I heard a pretty story tho other day
of two Amerlcnn girls who visited the
palace at Potsdam and had the un
usual honor of being escorted about
tho ugly old building by tho Emperor
himself. It Illustrates a trait In his
chnracter that Is not often talked
about, but Is shown frequently. Tho
Imperial palaco is open to visitors only
when tho emperor nnd his family are
absent; but, without knowing this fact,
tho two American ladles made tho Jour
ney out there, and were repulsed by
the usher nt tho door. They under
stood very little German, nnd ho could
talk 'no English, but, with tho usual
persistency of tho American tourist,
they were trying to Induce him to nd
mlt them. While they were In the
midst of tho controversy a gentleman
In the uniform of a soldier came rap
idly up tho stops, much to tho con
fusion of the doorkeeper, and, nddress
lng tho ladles In English, asked If ho
could bo of any service to them. They
explained that they had como up from
Berlin to see the palace, and wero very
much disappointed because they wero
not allowed to enter it.
"I think I can let you In," he an
swered, "and will show you around
myself."
So he escorted them through the vari
ous rooms nnd corridors, nnd explained
everything In a most entertaining
manner. Then he followed them out
to the portico, whore one of them, who
had a kodak, asked permission to take
his photograph. She hadn't the slight
est suspicion who he was, but during
the hour they had been together In tho
palace they had laughed nnd Joked fa
miliarly, nnd felt very well acquainted,
The emperor gracefully consented, and
posed for three snap shots. Then he
bade thorn good morning, hoped they
would enjoy their visit to Germnny,
saluted them In the German way and
re-entered tho palace.
The young ladles were delighted, and
related their experience with great
gusto when they returned to their
boarding house. That afternoon they
took their kodak to a photographer to
have tho 111ms developed, and when
they brought home tho first prints of
the handsome officer their German
landlady exclaimed: "Gott In hlmmel!
Der Knlser!"
Tho young ladies, being sovereigns
In their own country, were not abas lied
at tho discovery, although they cannot
understand why they did not recog
nize hlmy Nevertheless, they had a
print of each film handsomely mount
ed, and sent them to the emperor, with
their compliments and the explanation
that they were not awaro ot the Iden
tity of their guide or they would have
made a more formal acknowledgment
"of tho honor conferred upon them.

It Rung Its Doleful Signals Upon

From tho Globe-Democrat.
A bell with n fateful history hangb

Four ill-fated Ohio or Mississippi river

bell was placed on her. Tho Lytic ex
ploded her boilers and burned to the
water's edge In 18CG, near Bethlehem,
Ind., and many llves were lost. Tho
bell was about tho only thing of nny
value saved, nnd It was pulled up by
divers from the bed of the river.
For n number of years Its Iron tongue
was silent. Then, when the City of
Madison was built, the old bell was
recovered from a Junk shop and placed
on her. For many years tho Madison
piled the Ohio river between Pittsburg
and Cincinnati, the old bell giving forth
Its signals In as clear and melodious
tones as when first cast. In July, 1893,
while taking an excursion party from
Oweiisboro, Ky to Cincinnati, tho
Madison ran on tho dike in front of
the Indiana city after which the boat
was named, and went to pieces. Again
the bell was recovered, and when tho
Telegraph was fitted up for tho Louls-vllle-Clnclnnntl
trade it was placed
upon her. On the 23d of November,
at C o'clock In the afternoon, the Tele
graph "took a sheer" when about fif
teen miles above Louisville, on the
way to Clncinnntl, and before she
could ba straightened tint her bow hud
climbed fifty feet up the sh'lngly shore
on tho Indiana side, and her career
camo to nn Iglorlous end.
Today the old bell, with the name ot
her original bearer, Telegraph No, 3,
cast In hor metal side, swlnss to and
fro with every wind and every wave,
sending a dismal signal of warning to
passing craft and a doleful, ghostly
knell to the farmers living in the neigh
borhood, FIGUIII3S IN LOVEMAKING.
Why Men Don't Fall on Their Knees
ns Formerly.
From tho San Francisco Argonaut.
An English scholar has boon collect
ing statistics In regard to the manner
In which men and women make love
to each other. He Informs the world
that the number of young Englishmen
who embrace their sweethearts at tho
moment when they are Inviting them
to become their wives amounts to 36
per cent. On the other hand, 67 per
cent, of tho men In lovo kiss their
sweethearts on the lips at the critical
moment, while 4 per cent, shower
kisses on their hair and 2 per cent,
content themselves with kissing their
hands. At one tlmo it was" the fash
ion for love-intoxleated youths to fall
on their knees when about to make
proposals of marriage, but this fash
Ion Is evidently dying out, for we are
assured that only 3 per cent, of those
In love at present fall on one knee, and
only 2 per cent, venture to sue for the
lady's favor on both knees. A curious
reason has been assigned for the de
cadence of this chivalrous custom,
which is that of late years the' nether
garments of males have been so con
structed that It is rather risky for uny
man to Hop down suddenly on his
knees In a ladv's presence. On the
other hand, wooers of today seem to
be far more nervous than the gallant
men w,ho wooed nnd won a century
ago. Twenty per cent, of the English
lovers ot today are awfully nervous
when the decisive moment comes. Tho
behavior of tho young women Is simi
larly remarkable. When the men In
vite them to share their homes, eighty
one out of every hundred fall without
a word Into the outspread arms of
their chosen ones; OS per cent, blush
very becomingly, and In mnldenly
fashion shrink away, as though fright
ened at their companion's boldness;
one out of every hundred, possibly
more, possibly less, says our English

statlcian, falls on a sofa as If about
to faint, and 4 per cent, are really as
tonished at receiving proposals of
marriage. On the other hand, eighty
out of every hundred know very well
what the men have come for, and
hence behave Just as they should on,
such a momentous occasion. Further
more, CO per cent, look their wooers
boldly In the eyes. Curious facts, these,
but the most curious fact of all Is that
one maiden out of every hundred runs
away before the young man has fin

object of telling the good news to her
