This device makes the elevator per-

incalculable value in preventing the

ders and trail blazers made their
first appearance last Sunday in
their summer uniforms and were
FULLY equipped. They were pro-
vided with a four-in-hand team,
and proceeded to blaze their way
to the Guyer Hot Springs. Of what
happened there the reporter was
not wholly informed, but it is said
how truthfully we know not
that one of the troupe had q tussle
with a mermaid while bathing in
the plunge pool at the springs;
On their return, the party looked
as though they had encountered
both a blizzard and a cyclone, and
possibly an earthquake, but the last
may have been merely the result
of donning linen busters so early
in the season.
