her character, the lady Is well repre

The Journey up the mountainside Is
accomplished by the traveler partly In
a swinging chair supported by Chinese
bearers und partly on foot. The "Way"
consists of a granite walk. Interrupted

I had employed a piano toner for
several years who was blind, writes a
correspondent. One day he brought
another man when he came to tune the
piano, asking my permission to tenrb
him some things about piano tuning.
I left them In the parlor by them
selves and when they had finished, I
was dressing to go out
Knowing they were blind and rather
than keep them waiting, I went in to
pay the tuner In rather scant attire.
I remarked to the stranger. "It Is nice
for you blind people that there If
work like this for yon to do."
"Oh, niadum," he replied, "I'm not
blind; In fuct, I see very well."
I nearly died nnd (led from the room.

by the Roninns ns a public work, the
state of Colorado, with the help of an
appropriation by the United States

predicted, will provide travelers with
