THE RULING PASSION.
Giving Hi Own Life Waa a 6trlotly
Business Proposition.
In the With- World Magazine Mal
colm Siiviiko Trencher tolls the story of
a Germ ii ii mountain climber who did j
not forget to be economical uveu in the
midst of deadly peril. J
A. party was crostsiui; u glacier on the j
slope of Mont itlauc when one of the '
travelers called to the others to stop I
and listen. Stimuie cries cuuie from I
the Ice beneath their feet i
"Some oue baa fulleu Into a crevasse!"
exclaimed one of the party. "His
(.Tonus seem lo Indicate that he Is al
ready beyond help."
"We must do what we can In any
case." responded oue of the guides, and
he begau u Iouk and perilous descent
Into what proved to be the bosom of a
concealed crevasse. At the bottom
they found the poor gentleman who
had fallen. He was. however, quite
unhurt sitting comfortably upon a
bench of ire.
"We've come to save you." snld one
of the guide
"Von save me?" answered the gen
tleman quite tranquilly. "How do you
know I waut to be saved?"
"Heenuse you culled to us for aid."
said one of the bewildered guides.
"Perhaps I did," replted the Gorman,
"perhaps 1 didn't. You came anyhow.
Now. whnt'll you take to rescue me?"
And before he would allow the guides
to hitch him to the rope and drag hi in
to the surface he compelled them to
set down In writing the exact amount
they would require for the perform
ance of their life siivlnit duty. He was

FREAK CHICKEN HATCHED.
$j

A thoroughbred Barred Ply
mouth Rock chicken was born at
the Sam Hargett poultry yard
in Holdman last Saturday hav
ing four well formed legs, says
a Pendleton paper. The chicken
was just like any ordinary
chicken, with the exception that
it had on the back end of its
back, two legs about one-half
the size of those it used, and a
flap about one inch square hung
down over its tail. It follows
the mother hen and doesn't
seem to realize that it's a quad
