this great plateau without irrigation. or
even with 1t, for winter always fingers
in the lap of spring there until it occa.
sions a great deal of talk, and so the sum
mer is very bIiet indeed. The Indian
summer, however, now that the Indian
has been knocked out Of it, is more de-
lightful than anywhere else IN the world.
For one who has tried to build himself
up by means of dumb bells and sewer
gas, this dry. celebrating. champagney
air is better han a summer at Saratoga
at So per day. | cannot say too much for
the air Of Colorado and Wyoming or the
scenery. | know a clergyman who told
me that he had lived there for a year on
the magnificent scenery, one donation
and a sack Of flour, and he was a man
who was well brought up and from his
youth was always taught to tell things
Just as they occurred.
The climate OF Wyoming is cool in sum
mer. Also in winter. The air is crisp
and clear. 1t also has the faculty of max
ing distant objects appear to be much
nearer than they air. When | got as far
as Omaha, a stockgrower told me that he
could give me a good story regarding that
peculiarly of the mountain air. Itseems
hat an Englishman once went to the
West, and in the morning at Laramie he
started out to walk 10 the Medicine Bow
mountains before breakfast. They are
forty miles away. | think" said he.
And so along toward noon he gave it
up. On the way back he came to a lit
tie irrigating ditch where a cowboy dis
covered HIM removing his clothing and
getting ready to swim across. What are
you going to do?' asked the cowboy.
i am getting ready to swim this river,
the Englishman replied straightway.
You can fool me any more with your
internal optical Illusions "
In Denver a Leadville man called my
attention to the contiguity of the Rocky
mountains, and said | would be fooled if
| Judged by appearances in this dry,
bracing atmosphere. Il could give you
a good story regarding that peculiarly OF
the mountain air" said he. 1T seems
that an Englishman once went to the
West, and in the morning at Laramie he
started out to the Medicine Bow mountains
before breakfast, They are forty miles

he gave it up. On the way back he came

As | did not talk much on the way up
to Cheyenne and seemed rather naughty
and reserved, a boy on the train who acts
as peanut purveyor and literateur for the
road, took me to be an eastern man max
ing my hrst visit to the west, so he spoke
to me of the wonderful our of Colo
RADIO and Wyoming, also of the health
giving atmosphere and how it could take
hold of a physical wreck and put him In
the prize ring inside of a year. The air
is enormously clear. too" he SAID, as he
dropped copy OF Velvet Vice into the
seat by a silver haired clergyman, and
How to Treat Diseases of the Horses

lady who was on her way to visit friends
in California. You would get fooled on
it every time. | could give you a good
