Well, Ben was in Portland, Me., in 1866, making speeches and he wanted to addre: the popuiace from a little balcony of the leans for praying for the confederate prei of ours, was on furlough, and, going home to Rockland, he had the room that led to the balcony.

But, by thunder, he wasn't confirmed! Most amazed man In America. Old Ben Butler was in congress, and he hadn't forgotten who James Skirvington was and what he had sald in Portland. Skirvington was out, plumb out of the army! Another man had been promoted to his place as major and confirmed, “vice Skirvington,” it was distinctly stated in orders, and his attempt to get a decision | that he was still major accordingly falled. | And he wasn't a lleutenant colonel—just | Mr. Skirvington of Maine.

Cuntz and two or three others, are to leave on April 2, under the auspices of the American Geographical soc'ety, for the accent of Mount McKinley by the southern and supposedly the more difficuit flank of the great Alaskan mountain. Mr. Browne and Prof. Parker were with Cook Wwhen he attempted the ascent of Mount McKinley in September, 1906. According to Dr. Cook's assertion, Parker and the rest of the party turned back, and Cook was left with two guides to complete the ardu- ous journey to thé summit, which towers into the clear, ¢old ether above the Arctic wastes to a helght of 20,454 feet, as de- termined by trigonometrical fneasurements. | Prof. Parker's party intends to go from | Seattle by steamship to Cook Inlet—named for the gallant English explorer of the elghteenth century—on the coast of Alaska. They will proceed thence by motorboat to the foot of the Chulina glacler, where they WIII establish their permanent camp and base of operations. The whole southern side of the mountain and the approaches are a terra incognita. The Fairbanks expedition, which has just reported that it climbed the mountain, made its way up the northern face, taking a month for the journey. It 18 certain that in the little known Canadian “hinterland” on the Alaskan border there are mountains rivaling Me- Kinley in height, if not excelling it. Mt Logan, In Canada, just over the American border line, is 19,539 feet in helght, and was long belleved to enjoy the primacy among American mountains. Mount St. Ellas, cended by the Duke of the Abruzzi in 1897, has an altitude of 18,024 feet. Orizaba, In Mexico, 18 18,246 feet in height, and is now generally awarded third place among the mountains of the continent. Some years dgo Edward Wymper, con- queror of the Matterhorn In 185, tried to raise 350,00 for an expedition to ascend Mount Everest, highest of all mountains, Which, as fs well known, is barely over 20,000 feet. His plan was to estallish many | camps and live for a little while at each, In order to become acclimated, and in his view the attainment of the summit by this means was feasible. He did not succeed in ralsing the necessary funds and was forced to relinquish his project. The helght of the greatest mountain summits in ftself need not prove a deterrent to the ambi- tious climber. There is no doubt that the Fairbanks ex- pedition went to work by the more ap- proved method to reach the top of Mount McKinley, the successive camps and their deliberate progress enabling them to be- come accustomed to the excessive rarefs tion of the air. It s by some such pro- cedure that the frosty summits of the| Himalayas will be eventually attained, un- less the ascent is accomplished by the dar- ing flight of an aviator before the pedes- trian climber has succeeded in reaching the crest of “The Abode of Snow."—Phila- delphia Ledger.
