A TRAGEDY OF THE MOUNTAS Revenge of a Falsely Accused Alpine Guide. Chamonix is a little village in a val- ley of the same name surrounded by the Swiss Alps. The chief occupation of the young men of Chamonix is that of guide to tourists. One of these guides, William Lubken, came home one evening•frotn conduct - lug a stranger on a mountain climbing expedition without his charge. Ile re- ported that the stranger had been caught in an avalanche and carried over a precipice. Lubken at the begin- ning of the snow's movement, which was slow, had succeeded in reaching a rock, to which he clung. The rope by which climbers are always united broke, and the stranger had been borne away from him. The broken part of the rope he showed in evidence of his story. Albert Twingle started a suspicion that Lubken had cut the rope to save himself; that Lubken had frayed the cut part to show that it had been bro- ken. This suspicion grew till it was believed by many of the villagers, though the guides who at any time might be liable to the same charge would not hear of it. Lubken never recovered from the obloquy cast upon him. He left Chamonix, and the place knew him no more. One day twenty years later a trav- eler with white hair and beard came to Chamonix. All the guides were anx- ious to be employed by him, but he engaged none of them. He sat all day looking up at the mountains and the glaciers, apparently suffering from melancholy. While he was at Chamo- nix a traveler appeared and asked for a guide. Albert Twingle, now nearing an age when guides usually give up a calling requiring both nerve aid strength, was engaged. He - started with the traveler to explore the Mer de Glace. In the evening Twingle re- turned and reported that while the stranger was attempting to look down into a crevasse the ice had broken and he had fallen between the cold Jaws. When he told the harrowing story to the assembled people the man of mel- ancholy --a name given to the unknown stranger -was sitting, as usual, on the porch of his holel. He spoke the first words he was known to speak since corning to Chamonix. \You lie! . You have murdered and robbed him!\ Twingle was horror Stricken at the accusation, but cotild not prove that It was false. The other guides took up the matter In his behalf, and it was agreed that one of. their number should be lowered into the crevasse to bring up the body. The lot fell to one named Mere and the next morning all went to the crevasse, the man of melancholy going with them. Just as Obers was about to put the rope about his waist the man of melancholy seized it and, encircling his own waist, said: \Do you think I am a coward to make this charge without bearing the brunt of a conviction or an acquittal?\ There was something about the man which, surprised as they were at a were traveler volunteering to undergo such an ordeal, awed those looking on. They were a superstitious people, and many of them crossed themselves, thinking that he who made the offer was some guide returned from his white tomb under an avalanche or the devil himself. No one opposed him, and, having placed the rope around his waist, taking a bell In one hand and an Alpenstock in the other to push him- self from the sharp ice edges, he was elowly, lowered into the crevasse. -Robinson in New York Tribune. More - and - More the rope w - as paid out, while the women prayed and the men listened for some sound from below. Six hundred feet bad been paid out when there came a jerk on the rope, and the men began to pull. The weight was doubled. There was breathless silence while the men pulled, but when the man of melancholy came to the surface bear- ing a human body a shout arose from among the onlookers that long rever- berated among the surrounding cliffs. The tourist's watch and money were found on the body. Twingle was in- nocent. The people crowded around Twingle to congratulate him, but he broke away from them and strode toward the stranger. \In heaven's name, who are you?\ he cried. \Who am I? I am the man whom years ago you accused of cutting the rope that bound me to my charge. I ant William Lubkin.\ Had an avenging angel come from heaven to punish Twingle the scene could not have been more awe inspir- ing than the sight of this man who had vindicated the name of one who had blighted his life. Twingle's eyes fell to the ground; his head sank upon his breast; then, staggering, he left both his vindicator and his friends and descended alone into the valley. Silently the people gathered around the man of melancholy. Some of the older ones took his hand and kissed it, while the younger ones looked on awe stricken. Finally an old man who had known Lubkin when a boy said: \This is an awful revenge, William. Ft would have been nrort merciful if you had driven a knife into his breast.\ Lubkin made no reply. Turning from the faces that were all toward his, he walked down alone toward Chamonix. But if he went there no one saw him enter the town, and he was never seen there again. FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS. .

I cannot estimate the ‘'aine of the health and pleasure I have received, and the income, so far, has been far beyond my expectations.\ The poultry profession is one of the inost respectable and needs no apology. The American hen produces $500,- 000,000 worth of eggs annually, and it is claimed $00,000,000 are spoiled by bad handling. The hen Is one of the hardest workers in creation and pro- duces one of the finest finished food products, and it's a pity humans must bungle the job. Fresh air is one of the essentials to hen health, and the fellow who shuts his hens up in a sweat box in winter with the idea that he is copy- ing summer conditions and will there- by get more eggs will certainly get left. There was a time when those who adv0eated plenty of fresh air for hens - end inen ,werecailed \fresh air cranks.\ That day is Over. Poultry fertilizer should have ready sale at greenhouses. We have never seen any other manure give as luxuri- ant growth to vines and flowers and blooms in such profusion and bright colors.

The egg records and accounts pub- lished by poultry raisers in the jour- nals are seldom read by the subscrib- ers. While some of these may be true. there are others like that old story of the hen that lays an egg every day in the year. .In an experiment at the Missouri sta- tion the thirteen hard grains were 'med. and It was found the hens ate some of each.

Casualties Expected. During one of Cannon's bitter politi- cal fights in his district in Illinois the opposition resorted to desperate tactics. Among other things friends of Uncle Joe were summarily dismissed from Positions they held In the public serv- ice. Some of his friends became alarmed at this, and one of them called on the speaker at his residence and said, somewhat excitedly: \Joe Smith and Jones have Just lost their positions in the pestotfice. What are we going to do about it?\ Uncle Joe took another puff at his cigar and then answered, with a be- nevolent smile: \Nothing.
