...great tri-oceanic divide is at these head waters, while the Continental Divide at Fortress Pass has been perplexing geologists for a number of years by its queer fluctuations. Water from the Columbia-ice fields runs to the Atlantic, the Arctic and the Pacific Oceans. Ascending the Athabaska River the party will approach the region from the north; camp will be made and the peaks of Mount Columbia 12,295 feet high, and the North Twin 12,085 feet high, will be attempted. If the peaks are reached, it will represent the first ascents from the northern sides, which...
...same." All critics admire his virile compositions, his color effects. In his art they perceive that however repetitious his works, they are all like the man himself, boldly individualistic. Since he has no patience with the life or art that shelters itself from wind and storm, he finds queer things happen to him. He was born at Tarrytown Heights, N. Y., his one conventional experience. From Horace Mann School, he testifies, he was dismissed as a hopeless moron.

His personality has exasperated staid Philadelphians quite as often as his paintings have upset academicians of the school of fine arts at the University of Pennsylvania, whose senior member called them "rot" in 1923, after Mr. Barnes had endowed a chair in the school. Dr. Barnes, in short...
...that I took the title from Sullivan and I held it until '97 when Bob Fitzsimmons made the solar plexus famous with his blow that earned him the crown. It's queer but no one but doctors had ever heard of the solar plexus before that scrap, but ever since he floored me with that left of his it has become a catch word in boxing. In spite of the fact that I held the title five years after that I really had my greatest fight with Jefferies in 1901. Fitzsimmons wouldn't give me a return fight...
