These regions seemed 20 be some
what favored by sporting men.
have met several English hunters,
and there is a rumor that LADY
Florence Dixie will visit these parts
the coming summer. Probably the
main incentive is the National Park,
distant about $50 miles, more or less,
from which the hardy tourists strike
of to the neighboring mountains to
hunt aud fish. You may possibly
hear from me when at the geysers
next August, as party of us intend
to ride over there at that time. One
hundred and fifty miles isn't reckon
far out in this country. The county
from which | write is as large as
Massachusetts,.
Going to the Rockies direct from
the east is like going to a strange
land, as far as the general modes of
livelihood are concerned. About
the only thing similar is the preva-
lance of the English language. A
"pilgrim" is not considered to know
much, and he does not as far as
mountain life is concerned; and it
bohooves him to keep still and OBJ
serve, for if he gets too 'promiscu.
Gus" he must come to grief.
The sports of children are in i'm
itation of the daily life of their
elders. Only the other day / saw
little fellow, not three years old,
trying to throw the lasso, and in
variably tripping himself up at
every fresh attempt. | think boys
become self-reliant at an earlier age
than the boys of the east. AS to
the girls there is nothing namby-
pamby about them, though there
are, of course, exceptions to al!
rules. They will ride broncho
that an eastern girl would scream at
the sight of. They don't ride side
rays altogether either. Sometimes
on the range, when they observed
our approach, / have seen them
shift their seats deity and come up
smiling, riding in the approved fe-
male mode, though | doubt not they
backslided as soon as they were out
of sight. They learn to ride young,
when eastern little girls are playing
with their dolls. have now in
view a little eight-year-old who rides
off into the mountains after cattle
alone, and who would urge her frey
little horse wherever | dared to.
But as with the boys, the girls also
seem to be women before those in
the east cast off their short dresses,
and are married by the time her
states sisters begin to "spark."
Such is life.in the far west, and you
must excuse me if these last senten-
ces are not about fishing.
