Rise at 4 in the morning, load your

Creek road. If you have a proper feel.
ing of humanity for your horses you
will walk from the foot of the grade te
the Saints Rest. It is an awful walk
and after having shed gallon of per-
spiration on the dusty sidehill you will
imagine that an equal quantity of beer
must be taken on at the Rest to main
tain a physical equilibrium. The
draught will send delicious GOODNESS
into every pore, but inside of fifteen
minutes you will have cramps in the
stomach and wish to the soles of your
boots that you had passed the tempta-
ton without tasting. Many who have
drank after a walk up this hellish grade
have spent the rest Of the week ours
ing their folly. Any cold liquid i'm
bibed at such a time acts like turning
cold water into red hot boiler.
THE DRIVE TO YANK's.
Reaching Glenbrook you turn to the
left and enter the big pine forests
which fringe the lake. They are half
civilized forests profaned by the wood
choppers and shorn of their natural
beauties by the leveling ak and saw.
The stumps weep resinous tears for
their lost glories and the rocks which
line the road show marks Of the blast
ing drill. The lake alone, which lies
upon the right and sends its waves
among the rocks, seems to |
have retained its original beauty and |
clearness, its fresh winds and tri-cOl- |
ored waters of green, blue and purple.
The first tint comes from the shallow
and the second from the deep waters
and the last from the clouds and hills

he pines a leavel meadow of green is
'eached through which run transparent
streams fed by the melting SHOWS Of
he mountains. The angler will inn
lgine that he has found place 10 cast
ly, but all the flies which one might
,ather from the kitchen of restaurant
would not cause a single rise. The
treams seem to be looked upon as un-
ashiona5le by the fish, who seek their
ummer resorts higher in the noun
aims. !:
THE TALLAC HOUSE
; soon reached. It is under the con-
rol Of Lucky Baldwin, who has leased
to the Sharp Brothers. The place
his season is crowded with guests and :
! has suddenly become a fashionable
esort. 1t can accommodate sixty peo-
lie day, yet it is obliged to turn
lany away. The house has been
thoroughly renovated, reprinted and
improved at considerable expense, but q
hose who have been accustomed to the
rec and easy ways of ''Old Yank,' his
rizzled face, accommodating spirit S
nd tremendous yarns will experience I
feeling that the place does not look
xactly natural without him. In years
