Impressive Description of Shocks In
Yoeemite Valley Which Gave Birth
to a New Mountain Avalanche
Talus While He Looked.
“A noble earthquake! A noble
earthquake!" exclaimed John Mnir,
when he was awakened at half-past
two o’clock of a moonlit morning in
the Yoeemite valley. For years he
had believed that the many great ava-
lanche talueee leaning against the
walla of the valley at intervals of a
mile or two, had been caused by an
earthquake at least three centuries
before, and here was his chance to
make some observations. Never be-
fore had he enjoyed a storm of this
sort, hot the strange, thrilling motion
could not be mistaken, and so he ran
ont of his cabin, both glad and fright-
ened as he made his exclamation.
“The shocks were so violent and
varied, and succeeded on another so
closely," be writes In the Century,
“‘that I had to balance myself care-
fully in walking, as if on the deck
of a ship among waves, and it seemed
impossible that the high cliffs of the
valley could escape being shattered.
In particular I feared that the sheer-
fronted Sentinel rock, towering above
my cabin, would be shaken down, and
took shelter back of a large yellow
pine, hoping that, it might protect me
from at least the smaller outboundtng
boulders."
The most impressive part of his de-
scription is of the sounds. "It was a
calm, moonlight night,” he says, “and
no sound was heard for the first min-
ute or so save low, muffled, bubbling
underground rumblings, and the whis-
pering and rustling of the agitated
trees, as If Nature were holding hey
breath. Then suddenly out of. the
ytrhnge silence and strange motion
littlel‘Jth*re <*«• a tremendous roar. The
Eagle rock, on the south wall about
half a mile up the valley, gave way,
and I saw it falling in thousands of
the great^ boulders I had so long been
studying, pouring to the valley floor
In a free curve ,luminous from fric-
tion, making a terribly sublime ipbc*
tacle—an arc of glowing,, passionate
fire! fifteen hundred feet' span, as true
in form and as serene in heanty as a
rainbow ln the midst of the stupen-
dous rock storm. The sound Was M

Denton spied the man in that

it was whiskey. He ordered him

Planting the Popples.
When the daffodils are ln flower
the garden begins to regain the at-
tractions which it lost in winter, and
the tasks which the spring imposes
are entered on with seat. Among the
most Important is the sowing of an-
nuals. Two very common mistakes
should be avoided. One is sowing too
thickly and the other sowing too deep-
ly An annuat such as a Shirley pop-
py, Wbtm well grown, will occupy a
square foot of ground at least, yet
in that space dosens, If not scores. Of
seeds are often sown. The result is a
tremendous waste, not only of seeds,
hut also of plants, for all that do grow
must be spoilt, unless they are thinned
quickly and severely.
Paradoxioal Display.
Miss Mary Garden, at a dinner at
Sherry’s ln New York, said of a beau-
tiful girl who waa wearing one of the
ultra-deoollete dinner gowns of the
1912 season:
“When you see a pretty girl in such
a low out gown as that you have a
remarkable paradox before you—the
paradox of a person who displays
simultaneously very bad taste and
very good form."
----------
"She's been up here thirty times,'
said the court officer, with a backward
Jerk of his thumb.
She wasn’t a bad looking girl at ail.
Not many months ago she had been a
very good looking girl Indeed, ln
Ipite of the slush underfoot and the
drlullng rain that bad been falling,
she was not noticeably bedraggled
when she came into the night court
for women, One chiefly noticed that
her eyea were dull and her bearing
careless. She had become used to
the routine of her life—and that rou-
tine included the court Emotion bad
been burned out of her by the caustic
of; existence. A flare of drunken an-
ger—a maudlin sob—were her limits
of .expression. She mounted the bridge
drearily, hopelessly. It wax evident
enough the girl didn’t care.
“Ask her—”
A buss of whispering filled the court
room. One looked up to see a bevy
Of handsomely dressed women sitting
by the side of the Judge. They wore
evening gowns. Gems sparkled against
the pallor of their breasts. Their fair
shoulders were protected against the
draughts of the filthy courtroom by
costly furs. They rested white kid
elbows upon the Judge’s desk, and
propped their arrogant and complacent
faces in slender hands and stared that
dingy courtroom down. The Judge
had obviously been dining with them.
His handsome face was flushed and
he ohen laughed behind his hand1
with the prettiest of bis callers. At
their prompting he asked that poor,
bedeviled, hopeless woman who stood
before him questions that were still
cruelly impertinent, though be was a
Judge and she a woman of the streets.
The silk clad women by his side tit-
tered and exchanged mocking glances.
The woman’s voice grew hoarse and
strained as she replied. She starqd at
the women of another world as those
women of the poor streets la Paris
may have stared at the women of the
court some hundred odd years ago.
"You may go now,” said the Judge,
silkily. The women who sat by his
side upon a beach that had been de-
filed, stretched out their pretty bands
and patted him gently upon the arm.
“How good you are to thdae people,"
qald one to him, addressing him by hie
first name. -
The old eenrt .Qffieer was leading
the woman toward the door. A bright
spot burned high upon her cheek-
bones. The flames of rage flared in
her widely opened, staring eyes.
“O’wan now, kid," said the old court
officer, patting her shoulder wKh
awkward kindness. “Don’t fOS 60**"

At the Bind Store Window,
. The bird'store window is an unfail-
ing attraction to many people. Per-
haps it attracts men more than wom-
en,- tat it ia a magnet that draws all
children.

bird store and they halt and linger
long, wondering over of admiring the
strange or beautiful feathered creer
tures within, and children walking

all children, aa K appears to Interest
also many grown men who may be
drawn to it by a natural fondness for
birds and animals, or be attracted by
the novel or striking character of the
exhibit on view.

. Hurt In the Sequel.
Graham Ferguson has just returned
after an absenoe of six months on “the
other side.” Fergie did not spend all
hie time abroad at the home of his
Ayrshire ancestors; he visited Swlt-
serland and Italy and did not neglect
Paris. It was in this famous city that
he witnessed a famous sight
"When I was ln France," he told a
newspaper friend Sunday, "I saw a
duel."
"Ohl One of those French duels,
eh? Nobody was hurt I presumeT’
"You are wrong there. One of the
contestants was seriously injured.”
“One of* the contestants? 8urely
you mean, a bystander or a second or
a surgeon?"
"No, sir; one of the duelists. Ho
had a rib broken."
“You astound me! One of those
toy rapiers could not smash a rib,
surely?” .
“Rapier, nothing! The brave man’a
.rib was broken in the embrace with
hie opponent, after tbe duel was over."

Thick.
“How far is It to the next town?"
inquired the traveler In the mad be-
spattered buggy.
“ ’Bout ten mile, mister," said the
farmer by the roadside.
“Ix>ng miles, too, I suppose.”
“No, sir, they’re not so very long,
but you’ll find them pretty blamed
thick.”
