' Hahlt Cnsblas Him to Seal lee Clad ; Height With Ease. , "In all my experience I .had never encountered a rougher, mors difficult country ; in which to hunt , thin In Ell earners Land" writes Harry Whit ney In Outing. "Ordinarily I should have believed these mountain sides, with walls of smooth rock sheathed with a crust 'of hard Ice and snow, quite unscalable. ;;' - ' , "In places they were almost perpen dicular. Rarely did they offer a cr Ice to serve as foot or band bold, and Juttinr oolnts and firm set bowlders were too widely scattered to be . of much help. ' , this his native land the Eskimo as a decided advantage over - the white hunter.' His lifetime of experi ence has faught him' to scale these ice clad heights with a nlmbleness and ease that are 'astounding. He Is quite fearless, and even the mountain sheep Is not his superior as a climber. 44 As if by magic and with little ap parent effort the two Eskimos flew up the slippery walls, . far outstripping me. How they did It I shall never know. Now and again I was forcrd to cut steps In the Ice or I should In evitably have lost my footing and been hurled downward several hun dred feet to the rocks beneath. "I was astonished even at my own progress, and when I paused to glance behind me I felt a momentary pan'?. But there was no turning back, slJ one look robbed me of any desire to try it. "The Eskimo has no conception of distance. He is endoved with certain artistic Instincts which enable him to draw a fairly good map of a coast line with which he Is thoroughly fa miliar, but be cannot tell you how far It la from one point to another. Often when Eskimos told me a place we were bound for was very close at hand It developed that we were far from tt. This they are never sure of and can not Indicate. "The Eskimos have a white man 'stung to death' from every point of view. They not only can go to sleep promptly, but sleep soundly and we'll as they travel when circumstances permit They get sustenance, too, toy eating hard frozen walrus and seal meat or blubber. This I could never do, for it is so strong In flavor that It Invariably nauseated me, though I did succeed very well with raw hare or deer's meat when I had it" TERSE TOPICS OF THE TIMES. Subscribe For: BLUNDERING REPORTERS. Mistakes That Mangled the Speakers' Words and Feelings. "Drunkenness Is folly!" earnestly ex claimed Bishop Magee In the house of lords on a celebrated occasion. How horrified was the prelate to read in the papers next morning that he had given utterance to the very baccha nalian sentiment, "Drunkenness Is JollyJ" Lord Salisbury was a master phrase maker, but one of his best points was spoiled when a careless reporter turn ed his reference to "manacles and Manitoba" into the meaningless "'man acles and men at the bar." Sir William Harcourt was badly mis quoted once. "Great Is Diana of the Ephesians!" he exclaimed upon the platform, but a country paper bad It: "Great Dinah! What a farce Is this!" Lack of knowledge of fewiTHnr quo tations is a prolific source of mlsre portlng. For instance, a speaker once made use of the well known I lines from Milton's "L'Allegro:" But come, thou goddess, fair sjtfl tlree, In heaven yclept Euphraeyse, The country reporter deputed to "take him down" was in despair. He could not make head or tail of this mysterious utterance. But, following the sound as far as possible, he seised his pen and produced the following gem: But come, thou goddess, (air and tree, In heaven she crept and froxe her Jutee. The speaker was taken down In more senses than one. London Answers. GASTONIA PRODUCE MARKET.

"Wtien I was studying In Boston, said a musician, "they used to tell a tale about a man named Harper, an odd old character, who played a trom bone In one of the small theaters there. One time they were rehearsing a new overture. Throughout the piece Harper was a little behind the rest of the men. Before they started it a sec ond time the leader reproved Harper for not coming in more regularly with the other players. When they attempt ed It again Harper came In, as usual, two or three beats behind time. The leader stopped and, after letting loose a lot of profanity, demanded to know If the trombonist knew he was playing about half a dozen notes behind the others.' . "Harper nodded. 'That's all right,' said he. 'I can catch up with the oth ers any time I want to.' "Philadel phia Telegraph. . Milwaukee has a Socialist mayor, in the person of Emll tieldel. -; J. M.

V ',-." Interesting Celebration at BelmoMt Baseball Game in the Afternoon Amateur Drama at Night. Charlotte Observer. Belmont. April 12. The feast of St. Leo, the patron saint of Rt. Rev. Leo Haid O. S. B. D. D., was fittingly observed at St. Mary's on Monday, April 11, Belmont. Solemn ponti fical mass was celebrated at 9 a. m., in the presence of the distinguished prelate by Rt. Rev. Abbott Charles, O. S. B., of the Leo's abbey, Florida, assisted by Rev. Father Felix, O. S. B., presbyter assistant, Rev. Father Eugene, O. S. B.t deacon, and Rev. Father Mark, O. S. B., BUb-deacon. At 2 p. m. St. Mary's College team locked horns with the strong Lenoir College team, and after a brilliant display of the national pastime on the part of both nines the honors of the game finally fell to St. Mary's, the score being 8 to 4. The visitors made a splendid showing, but the feature of the game was the twirling of Rousseau who lately proved such a "mystery to the Charlotte "Hor nets." The celebration was concluded in the evening by a production in the college auditorium, of "The Spirit of Alamance," an original four-act fra ma written for the occasion by one of the fathers of the community. The play deals with the revolutionary days, the story being deftly woven around the now famous, though much discussed, Mecklenburg Dec laration of Independence. , The play was well written, and ably handled by the players, each actor entering fully Into the spirit of the part assigned him. Owing to the local and historical character of the drama the demand for tickets was large, so that a crowded house greeted the players on the ringing up of the curtain. The amusing scene was received with laughter by the audience, while the. serious inci dents were vigorously applauded. The college orchestra" nnder the di rection of Father. William, O. S. B. furnished the Incidental music, the numbers rendered being exception ally fine. ' .. ..V;-' THE HAIR TOXIC THAT IS GUARANTEED.
