rather! l am well satisfied that we
made those oysters indigestsble by a
second cooking both outwsrdly and
inwardly, the latter by gulping three
or four quarts Of the water. Fifteen
minutes was the regulation time and
We stuck 1t out and then repaired to the
attiring room, where some consid.
crate friend had built January fire
In little stove that had more radis-
tory power for lis inches than any
stove | ever saw before. Here the
god or goddess that presides over per
spring mortsls was invoked, and he
or she must have been quite handy, ss
the invocation was responded 10 i'm
mediately and with r profuseness
hitherto unsurpassed. Doc not being
posted donned his garments before bis
pores had fairly got TO working, and
In consequence was soon driven to the
outer air in state Of limp and limpid
disgust. The baths properly taken
are, however, very refreshing and ex-
tremely beneficial to invalids. The
two Colonels, Malone and Bryan,
cooked themselves in a hotter pool,
attached to which is vapor bath,
which to the criminal classes would
prove beneficial as preparatory TO the
hereafter. Supper, another "bilin'n
and clean fresh bed finished the day
and We arose the next morning feeling
like the proverbial fighting cock. In
the forenoon Doc, who had been do
! ing the graceful to the ladies, took
one OF them out horseback riding.
Most everybody in Miles City knows
that Doc is Gn easy and fearless rider
and be fully sustained his reputation
on this occasion. The house not be-
ing provided with a derrick, be exper-
fenced some little difficulty in gaining
the saddle, but once there he was ar
permanently fixed as q bag Of meal
and quite MS responsive to the horses
movements. He returned from the
ride r. and enthusiastic. decorated
with button hole bnuque' which his
lady consort had condescendlngly dis
mounted and picked for him. Doc is
very irresistible they tell me. An
other bath in Hell's half-scre with the
two Colonels, during which We as
sisted in the raising Of John Barley
corn, and we were ready for dinner
and a ride across country to the rail
road in a dead Xxx" wagon. Owing to
Docs society accomplishments our de-
parture was quite an ovation, and one
OF the ladies became our compagnon
du voyage to the train. Arriving
safely at the depot, the train being 3
few minutes late, Doc took advantage
of the delay to dexter dsly effect a
change Of his linen by reversing his
cuffs, aud thus refreshed he boarded
the train ready tor another conquest.
1t NUT not be inferred that the King
of the Dudes was indisposrd or un-
willing to make mash at the springs,
for such was not the case. He was
literally outshone by Doc, who was
perfectly irresistible. Col. MALONE
was left at the springs at his own re-
quest, il being his desire TO reflect in
solitude on the manner in which
Major pease effected that wonderful
transformation act at Livingston.
The springs are big thing and
should be visited by every body who
has the time and means to go there,
whether sick or well. The bathing
accommodation are excellent and
aside from the table, the same may be
said of the hotel. 1t was explained to
Us while there that it being sanitar-
ium healthy appetites were not
expected or catered for. There may
something in this but not enough 10
convince the possessor Of a rigorous
appetite that when he pays three dol
lars day for hotel entertainment, be
is not entitled to quantum suiiicitr
and something more advanced than
Chinese cooking. That's what 1--WE
unsn think, anyway.
