1ner is very brief 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, exhilarating, champagney
air is better than a summer at Saratoga
at S. per day. cannot say too much for
the air of Colorado and Wyoming or the
scenery. l knew Clergyman who told
me that he had lived there for year on
the magnificent scenery, one donation
and sack of -four, 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
summer. Also in winter. The air is
crisp and clear. 1t also has the faculty
of making distant objects appear to be
much nearer than they air. When 1 got
as far as Omaha, stock grower told me
that he could give me good story re-
garding that peculiarly of the mountain
air. 1t seems that an Englishman once
went to the west, and in the morning at
Laramie he started out to walk to the
Medicine Bow mountains before break
fast. ''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 little irrigating ditch where
a cowboy discovered him removing his
clothing and getting ready to swim
across. What are you going to do?
asked the cowboy. 4 am getting ready
to swim this river, the Englishman re-
piled straightway. You can't fool me
any more with your internal optical illu-
sions.'
In Denver a Leadville man called my
attention to the coutiguity of the Rocky
mountains, and said l would be fooled if
l judged by appearances in this dry,
bracing atmosphere. 81 could give you
a good story regarding that popularity
of the mountain air." said he. sit seems
that an Englishman once went to the
west, and in the morning at Laramie he
started out to walk to the Medicine Bow
mountains before breakfast. They are

AS did not talk much on the way up
10 cheyenne and seemed rather naughty
and reserved, boy on the train who acts
as peanut purveyor and ltterateur for
the road, took to be an eastern man
making my first visit 10 the west, SO he
spoke TO me Of the wonderful resources
OF Colorado 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
wee" into the seat by a silver haired
clergyman, and "How to Treat Diseases
OF horses and Swine" into the seat near
a young lady who was on her way to
visit friends in California "You would
