Bather Leisurely. bat Eats rp Ci roves and Kills Hirer Urda. All the morning as we chapped spongy cottonwood, blew out our lungs over the fire and flipped water from the blankets a dull roar which w thought the river swelled by the raiu was growing louder, louder. I said, "I guess a moraine choked pond on the glacier has broken through," and just then Jack stepped out from under the soaked tarpaulin. "Look at that. Bobbie, look at that!" I heard him shouting. Outside he was pointing across the stream. A land slide was roaring down a gully from the very top of the Rainbow hills. It was a stupendous sight. We looked at It silently and then said, both at once, "I thought an avalanche was sudden." This thing wlgcled like a huge snake down a sheer 3,000 feet of rock. The roar seemed forever to Increase. Dust or smoke trailed from this thin?, aud enormous bowlders skipped solemnly from side to side of its path like peb bles. Water mingled with it, aud when it reached the terrace It was a black Btrcam, viscous and heavy. Jack bot it wouldn't Cross the half mile of flat to the river, but In a mo ment we saw bowlders shooting out over the terrace and nspen graves fall as If laid with a scythe. A cancerous fan ate out to the bank and gravely slopped over like lumpy paint, cutting deep channels down to the river. Out ing. A Place For Ills Boy. Sol Smith Russell, who saw humor In many commonplace happenings, used frequently to tell of meeting an old farmer at a railway station in a small Xew York town whose philoso phy was particularly pat, even though his deductions were hardly compli mentary to the actor, says the Chicago Tribune. Russell and his companion were awaiting thi train when the old gentleman walked up. eyed the star a minute or two and nskrd: "Be you the feller that cut up capers at Parker's hall last night V ".My company and I pave a perform ance there last evening, yes," replied Russell iKditely. "I thought so. I was there, and I had to laugh sometimes. I wanted to tell you about my boy. He's just your way ain't no good for work. Won't stick to anything, but wants to play clown and crack jokes all the time. He's got a job at the hub factory, but aft he does is to keep the men a-laughln' when they orter be workin'. You rt r take him 'long with your troupe, for he's the densest fool I ever seen!" Stewed Apples. To stew apples so each quarter is un broken and so clear one can almost see through it is an art, and yet it is a sim ple thing to do If one only knows how. Peel tart apples very thin, cut them In quarters and remove the cores and seeds. As fast as you cai peel and quarter them drop the apples In a saucepan In which jwu have already placed celd water to the depth of two Inches. When the apples are all in, put the saucepan over a slow fire, cover It till the water reaches the boiling point, then remove the cover and let the ap ples simmer almost imperceptibly till you can pierce them easily with a broom splint; then sprinkle the sugar over them and let them just simmer until -it Is all melted. Remove the saucepan from the fire and let it stand where the apples will get cold bfore turning them into a dish for the table. Green's Fruit Grower. Subscribe for The Argus.
