is a lovely place, remarked a young
miss who recently visited that no.
ted home of good cheer. Mrs.
Shaw" she continued, who was
driving the buggy, remarked, as we
were descending steep hill, now
look out, you may see something as
we turn this point, and sure enough
there suddenly appeared to view a
beautiful little valley all carpeted
with natures green grass. A few
minutes drive brought us to grove
Of large trees, among which was
nestled handsome dwelling house.
Aighting and entering we were
welcomed by Grandma Daniels and
Mrs. Hice. Grandma was busy at
work and as spry as many not halt
her age. She is a good old soul and
treated us right royalty. There are
lots of berries, lots of ripening fruit,
and lots of speckled trout in the
clear sparkling stream that runs
near by-and there are also beauti-
full, sweet-scentcd flowers all around
on the ranch. Pm going out there
again, and'-just then the circus
band began to play and the young
miss hastily departed.

floor director, announced in clear
voice ''the grand march," after
which, under the soul-inspiring mu-
sic of Professors Sprague, Tick and

commenced, and was continued
without single unpleasant Incl.

reminded the happy throng that il
