TO KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE

Evidently Mr. Jlmeo Wee to Get e Plentiful Quantity of Fresh 'v Air That Night. - Mr. Jlmso was in the habit of attending meetings which often detained him after the usual hour of retirement. One night he was exceed ingly late, and his wife, after fretting 'herself into a temper, went to bed. determined to give her husband a lesson. When she had been upstairs about ten minutes she heard a knock, so. putting her head out of the window, she inquired: “Is that you, Tom?" “Yes, Kate; come and open the door,” was the answer. "What has kept you out so late?" asked his wife. “We have been discussing the real benefits of fresh air," answered he. “Well,” returned his better half, "you can lecture tomorrow night from experience," and down went the window with a bang.

BOTH ADEPTS IN DECEIT

How Signals Arranged For Between Soldier and His Wife Really Were Carried On. > • The captain had not been long married when he was ordered into camp. To be sure, the camp was in plain view of the captain’s residence, but then it was still a separation; and tolighten this terrible condition ft was arranged that the bereaved husband and wife should signal to each other often with their handkerchiefs. It was on the second day that the young wife was seated on the porch reading. “Tell me, Jane,” said she, “is the captain still signaling?” "Yes, ma’am,” answered the maid. "Then keep waving your handkerchief. I want to finish this noyel.” At the same time, in camp an officer from an adjoining company stepped up to the captain. “I say, old fellow,” he asked, “why do you keep that man out there all day waving a handkerchief?” “Oh. it’s merely a bit of signal-code practice for him.”

Disenchanting.

A party of young men and women, members of a sketching club, were motoring along a country road. Just within the fence on the left grew innumerable graceful stalks, each bearing globes of pale green that shaded into gray and purple.

Climbing in June Snows

By MARION RANDALL PARSONS,

Treasurer of the Sierra Club. IN JUNE, Yosemite valley is at the very height of its beauty. The deciduous trees are in new leaf, maples and dogwood in tenderest, brightest green, oaks tipped with pastel shades of pink and red In prophecy of their autumn glory, azaleas in full bloom, and the meadows a rippling mass of exquisite grass brightened with flowers. After a week or more In the valley, following the better-known trails, get; ting muscles in condition again after city-bound days, we were anxious to see what spring was like in the snowy upper country. Accordingly, as pack animals were not to be obtained for love or money, we prepared to make pack animals of ourselves, and knapsack over to Mount Clark (11,509 feet) on the southwestern boundary of the park, the most prominent peak of the Merced group. There were four of us in the party, two men and two women, and we planned to be out two nights with a comfortable margin of provisions for a third night, if necessary. Bacon, hardtack and that blessing to mountaineers, soup, made up the bulk of our commissary, re-enforced, however, by raisins, choocolate, dried fruit, beans, spaghetti and cheese. Our. personal outfits,, of course, were reduced to bare essentials. Share Alike With the Men. We women who “knapsack" pride ourselves on being able to do our share, so, while we do not pretend to carry such heavy packs as the men, we carry our own outfits and a part, at least, of the general commissary supplies. Short-skirted, flannel-shirt-ed, with hobnailed boots to the knee and "shocking bad hats,” we are as easy in our own clothing and as regardless of wind or weather as the men themselves. In Little Yosemite we made a camp beside the smoothly flowing Merced, and after lunch set out on a ramble

up toward the base of Half Dome. Up Cloud’s Rest trail we climbed, and then pushed through the forest to the brink of Tenaya canyon, a gorge almost as deep as Yosemite valley itpeK, inaccessible to all but the hardiest mountaineers. The great chasm, more than 2,000 feet deep, lay at our feet Half Dome towered majestically against the sky. and still farther we could see the shadowed cliffs of El Capitan and the Cathedral Rocks. A Bock In Velvet.

My companion on this ramble elected to climb Cloud’s Rest before returning to camp, so I made my way back to Little Yosemite alone. Near the foot of the trail, in a glorious little mountain meadow, I surprised a beautiful buck, the largest I have ever seen In the Sierra. His horns were in velvet, and he stood so near me that I could see the quick, nervous movement of his nostrils as he watched me. For two or three minutes we stood there regarding one another. Then, with a nonchalant wag of his funny little tail, he turned and made off through the woods, aS unhurriedly and Indifferently as if I, too, had been a woodland creature. Perhaps I looked It After his departure I examined the meadow more closely. It was a little gem of its kind, sloping from a ledge of granite that was cohered with gnarled and crooked junipers. At the first glimpse I thought it an unbroken sheet of the tiniest blossoms of yellow mimulus, but on kneeling down, 11 species of flowers revealed themselves, all the daintiest and most dellcate of their kind —yellow violets, white forget-me-nots, gilias, white saxifrage and the smallest pink pea I have ever seen. A knapsacker’s camp is a simple affUir—a. bed ot pine needles, a few stones rolled together to make a fireplace, a pile of firewood gathered together; and there is home. By five o’clock next morning we were astir. ’ Where one’s possessions are so few, washing dishes and packing is a matter of scant ceremony. In less than an hour we were ready for the trail, or for

the march, rather, as we expected to leave trails behind us and strike across country to the base of Mount Clark.

We held it to be but a tribute to our skill as mountaineers, however, when we found an old sheep trail following the very route we had planned to take. For many miles we followed it through the rolling forest east of Mount Starr King, through Starr King meadow, and out near the crest of a granite ridge near Clark Fork. Here we left it behind and struck across the open country, over ridge after ridge, across stream after stream, until we came to the northerly fork of Gray creek, where we made a camp. We had reached the altitude of about 8,500 feet, and snowdrifts lay deep all about us. But firewood was abundant and our little nook among the tall firs promised every comfort that a knapsacker need expect.

In default of extra bedding we took hot rocks to bed with us.

The night passed comfortably and we were up at dawn ready for the assault on Mount Clark, confident also of success. As we climbed the snow lay even deeper about us. The forest of fir and mountain pine gave way to the hardier white-bark pine, the tree of timberline. Up to the top of the ridge it crept, at the top a mere shrub, bent and twisted beneath the winter’s weight of snow. As we climbed, our horizon to the south and west widened. We were looking across the valley of the Illilouette toward the snowy divide separating us from the south fork of the Merced where lies Wawona and the splendid Mariposa grove of sequoias. Yosemite valley was but a blue rift in the forest with only its great domes, Half Dome, Sentinel Dome and Starr King, rising into any prominence. Far different was our view to eastward from the crest. Our ridge ended on the east in an abrupt precipice. Through a broken "chimney" or windowlike aperture in the rocks, we

looked down 500 feet into a great snew field filling all the eastern basin, and beyond this lay the cleft of the Merced canyon, and, still beyond, the magnificent snowy peaks of the summit crest, Lyell, McClure, Ritter, Dana, a host of others, all above 13,000 feet, all shining and gleaming in the brilliant sunshine with a radiance that hardly seemed to belong to this world. Couldn't Get Up Clark.

Well for us that this glorious vision was compensation for all the many miles we had climbed, for we got no farther that day—and-Clark still remained unconquered. For we had anticipated the season for mountain climbing by a fortnight or more, and the slope that should have offered an easy rock climb to the summit was now a precipitous wall of treacherous snow. We had no rope, no ice ax, not even a knife with which we might have cut steps, and the icy edge where rock and snow met proved an invincible barrier to the summit. Up and down the ridge we proWied, over every ledge, into every chimney, only to admit ourselves defeated in the etod.

For an hour or more we remained upon the ridge feasting our eyes on the marvelous panorama—a hundred miles of snowy range, a magnificent alpine region, the greater part of which is now almost inaccessible, soon to be opened to travel by the construction of the John Muir traiL After luncheon in camp a 15-mlle walk back still lay ahead of us. Our defeat lay lightly upon us, for many mountain summits have been ours in the past, and we had had, after all, the inspiration and the uplift of the glorious upper regions of snow even if the exhilaration of the summit had been lacking. Down among the great below of yellow pines, under the spreading arms of sugar pines and out upon open crests covered with manzenita and chinquapin we hastened past Nevada and Vernal and down through the Happy Isles where thrushes sang their evening songs, and into our Yosemite valley camp.

MIGHTY POWER OF LOVE

Great Truth In Words Which Emerson Is Put on Record as Having Spoken. It was Emerson who said, “An acceptance of the sentiment of love throughout Christendom for a season, would bring the felon and the outcast to our side in tears, with the devotion of his faculties to our service. Love would put a new face on this weary old world, in which we dwell as pagans and enemies too long, and it would warm the heart to see how fast the vain diplomacy of statesmen, the impotence of armies and navies and lines of defense, would be superseded by this unarmed child.” Alas that the* sentiment has not been accepted, but instead the world and the individual have been laying their plans, and directing their action, by a calculation of chances which, of course, can be no bigger than the human mind that does the calculating. That love has not been tried is proved by the collapse of commercial civilization, but the things of commerce and of calculation perish, while the sentiment of love endures, because it is of God, and being of God, is sure in the end to triumph.—Unlversalist Leader.

Time Has Made a Difference.

"The last time 1 saw Sylvia Pankhurst before the war,” writes a London clubman, “she was in the arms of a policeman, being carried off to the Vine Street station, followed by scores of militants shrieking that women would never be slaves. I saw her a few nights ago down near Poplar way, where she was presiding over a twopenny restaurant where splendid dinners of hot stew, potatoes and fruit pudding with bread, butter and tea were served to distressed East Enders. In addition the suffragettes have organized pure milk depots for the babies, and an employment bureau for girls and womn.”

A Real Sport.
