CAMPING OUT.
LEAVES FROM A LADY'S DL-
AIRY.

| rad Experiences Of a Mountain
Camping Outfit.
A few days ago man brought a
small morocco diary to the APPEAL
Office and wanted it advertised
under the head of found In
glancing over it it proved to be a
lady's diary from a camping trip,
and as it seems too good to be lost
the APPEAL has decided to print
| it verbatim ct iiteratins, except as to
names.
''We have about made up our
camping party, and | count the
days until we can be underway.
Mr.. and Mrs. -, Of Reno have
been invited, and Mr.. and Mrs.
-, Of San Francisco real high
toned society people are also to 20.
l know we Will enjoy ourselves IN
such delightful company.
"Mr. -, is the President OF the
Consolidated White Lead Company
of San Francisco. or some big thing
Of that sort and has plenty OF
money.
Il have just heard that Miss
- is going. Well, / suppose Ill
have to stand it.
Eve started this morning in
great style, with tive wagon loads,
and also load Of provisions. 1t
was awful hot and dusty all day,
and | am glad enough to get quiet
place at last and write.
"Mr. and Mrs. -, l know l
shall not get along with at all.
They put on such a lot OF airs and
never do thing, while Miss is as
hateful as person we'll can be and
live. Oh, how I wish | were home.
I'VE had an awful time last
! night. | didn't dare to undress
with so many men around, and
| went to bed with my clothes on.
A lot Of children squalled all
| night; the horses got away some
dogs stole our grub and the mos
| ouitos we're all about us by the
| million.
"This morning the -- crowd
refused to help harness the horses
saying that the servants ought to
do that. If l couldn't harness a
horse I'd 90 and drown myself.
Didn't get under way until al
most noon. Old wanted his
| eggs scrambled, and we had to stop
| everything and do it.
"Niss - wants iced tea, and l
! suppose she'll be shouting for ice
cream next.
Mrs. is growing all the
time about the food, and wants a
mattress to sit on whenever we
halt. / suspect these dudes came
| from the South, and expect US all
to wait on them day and night.
"We'ye been on the 20 now over
three days, and I'm about dead.
Mr.. IS face is like poisoned
purp with mosquito bites, ard We
all look like tramps.
"Mr. and Mrs. - still insist on
putting on lot of airs, and nearly
tainted away this morning when l
invited one of the drivers, who is
a perfect gentleman, to eat with
us. She said she never ate With
common people, when the truth is,
the driver could buy US all out
twice over and have money left to
throw at the birds. They'll kill
his horses before we get any
where.
''The condensed milk IS all out,
and rainstorm coming on. Mrs
- is shrieking for an umbrella.
and l hope she don't find it. I'm
worked almost to death, aud these
people sit around and put on frllls
| It takes them two hours to dress
| like they were at Long Branch
Hope the Lord may paralyze me
| if / ever camp out again.
Mrs. - is trying to sketch
the mountain scenery, l got hoid
Of a sketch yesterday and you can
tell which side is the top. 1t looks
like mashed spiders.
"Last night it rained all night,
and all hands got mad and wouldn
put up any tents. Oh, we got a
glorious soaking, and was glad &c
see Mrs. going about like a
wet hen.
"a wagon broke down today and
smiled everything out.
"We have jaws all the while and
| life is getting to be positively un-
bearable. =,
