That Ride to Warrenton. It ha* happened more than once that an army ride as far as from Washington to Warrenton might have changed history. Pope would have bben glad to greet 5,000 or 0,000 horseback fighters coming up that way Aug. 28-30, 1802, and Lee would have been rattled <y such a column in blue swooping down on his lines when he maneuvered in that vicinity in 18G3. Good news doesn’t depend upon horseback couriers as It did at the time of the celebrated ride from Ghent to Aix. Neither does the other kind, as when Paul Revere warned the Lexington farmers about the redcoats. But It w T as a blessed thing-that Phil Sheridan could ride twenty miles and get In fresh. Had It been forty or even fifty that evehtful morning of Cedar Creek he would have made it and perhaps saved the day just as he did. ‘ Twenty-four hours before Sheridan drew rein on the battlefield at Cedar creek he was farther from the danger point than Warrenton Is from Washington. Had he got the tip then which reached him twenty hours later he would have ridden thrice twenty miles, and tluere w’ould have been no Cedar Creek,iwltlj its thrilling story of disaster held up— Because The sight of the master compelled It to pause. * Napoleon rode posthaste to the field of Marengo, reaching there at 5 o’clock in the afternoon, to be told “The battle is lost!” “But there’s time to fight another one!” he exclaimed and made the great hit of his career. There w’as more to the Warrenton Tide than the distance covered. It ended in a freezing rain, yet the president • was good for another spurt if need be. Anyway, the official riding test is ninety miles in three days, and Stonewall Jackson’S “foot cavalry” wouldn’t have blinked at that. One good purpose of these tests is to knock out the notion that officers will ride to the battlefields of the future in “devil 'wagons.” Test rides keep the horse where he belongs.

Appreciates The Recorder Gentlemen:—The copy of the Recorder you sent me received. Can but say I thank you very much. I can frankly say it is one of the up-to-date Race papers. I do hope it may have a great future success. I read most all of »he leading race papers, and must say so far, not one of them has anything on the Recorder. Please find in this letter my request for the above papei for three months, also 25 cents to pay for the same. Thanking you for your kindness. Respectfully yours Wm. L.

MISS PECK'S RECORD CLIMB.

America’s Young Pioneers. The promoters of the George Junior republics are hopeful that three new states—viz, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and New Jersey—wUl be annexed to the so called nation during the current year. New York, California, Connecticut and Maryland may from this time on lay claim to having been, the “original states” in the movement to make citizens out of wayward youngsters who want to throw of&the yoke of bad habits. There is nothing In a name, but It would add picturesqueness to this new American revolution if there should be a federation formed by thirteen “colonies” and annexation of commonwealths from time ta time results In a nation as broad as the republic which serves for the model. | It is pioneer work which these boys and girls of the George Junior colonies and republics engage, in. They are striving for the future of the organization and also for the future of ■themselves as individuals. The workers in this movement have no native wilderness to conquer. But they do have to battle- against their own ill starred fortunes—bad conditions and bad habits, for which they, as a rule, are not responsible. Born out of the pale or cast put by their own conduct^ they must reclaim themselves. This 1 is a warfare to build up individual character, and with character for capital the redeemed boy or girl may compete with the more fortunate youth of society. J Here is a field where charity cannot pauperize. Charity may whitewash poverty and reputation, but It cannot whitewash character. 2

Mountain "Climber’s Narrow Escape While Scaling Mount Huascaran. Miss, Annie S. Peck of Providence, R. I., the noted mountain climber, who recently returned to New York from South America on the Panama liner Allianca, Is going to write a book on her experiences in climbing to the summit of Mount Huascaran, in the Peruvian Andes, 24,000 feet above sea level, but she consented to tell beforehand of one thrilling incident of her ascent. She said: We reached the summit on Sept. 2, and the following night as we were making our way down Taugwalder, the guide who was leading, slipped and carried me with him over the edge of a fissure. The other guide, Gabriel zum Taugwald, fortunately for us, had seen the misstep and had braced himself 'vwlth his alpenstock, so that when the rope that bound us all together yanked taut he retained sufficient purchase in the ice not to be carried off his feet by our combined weight. He called down to us instructions to dig ourselves footholds that would lighten the strain both on the rope and himself and gradually pulled us both back to him. It was the closest call I ever had. The accident was due to the fact that Taugwalder had frozen both hands and a foot on the way up, so that the going with him was especially difficult. He had lost his gloves and has since had to have one hand amputated as a result. Miss Peck ascribed much’of her success to the two Swiss guides. “The altitude of 24,000 feet, which marks the summit of Mount Huascaran,” she said, “surpasses, I believe, that reached by any one before me. Heretofore the record has been held by W. W. Graham, whose ascent of one of the Himalaya peaks Is set down as a climb of 23,800 feet.” In Miss Peck’s first attempt to scale Mount Huascaran, made last August, the party was compelled to camp on the Ice for nine days. On this occasion the same guide who on the second and unsuccessful attempt imperiled the caravan by falling Into a crevasse was taken ill with “mountain sickness,” which Miss Peck says is in every respect similar to seasickness, and the ascent had to be abandoned after a height of 16,000 feet had been reached. Miss Peck, who is nearing fifty years of age and whose physique is anything but amazonlan, gives sound lungs and heart as the greatest desiderata in mountain climbing.
