frontier.

snliow person Of serious cast OF c0untenance

reply:
'.slcept How could We sleep? Sleep was
impossible. The mosquitoes were lorrld
Tliore wore no screens to the tent; no mos
quitos-bars to tho bed They bit me sayagcfy.
And tic tlraughtss They crept In at tho
door. under tho walls, through tho canyaa
crowded round the cot, invaded tho
blankets. o! givo INC room In hotel
nfter tlilsl THIS opcn-air business IL,
played out. THERE'S nothing iii 1t but
rheumatism, neuralgia, Aglle, clIills, and
host Of disorders Mum was never intended
to live under cotton. And then the noises.
When tho locomotives were not exercising
, their stcnm-whistles they are letting utt
stcanl. Which ls, Nrhaps, even more annoy.
