THE HORSE EDITOR "DOEs" THE
MOUNTAINS.

for tho "HzRA1b" We saddlcd up on
faithful cayuse snd taking our pacl

we sailed forth this week at q IA
gait. All nature seemed gay ane
festive; the trout in the stream seem
ed to know that the editor hat
thrown all ARE away for they turned
summersalts in the water at sight o
onr splendid column. The bugs were
Of the same spirit, but were friendly
they nestled in our shirt bosom ane
around our neck; but being in a nor
destructiv mood we gently wafted
them off and still persued the ever
tenor of our ways which wa on the
rocky road to the saw mill.
The rays of Sol becoming warm
or we cast u elegnat sunday.go-to'
meeting, claw-ham mer coat under q
fiat rock, and in our lily.white billed
shirt and pink neck tie we fancied that
the picture Of nature in all her glory
was complete. And the words Of Sol
ONION came forcibly to our min ds
'Consider" etc, etc. Leaving the Main
Belt creek, we followed up the
branch upon which the large saw
mill of Tierney & Co. is located.
Many a grounding waite he'd US and
evidently was struck with wonder at
the brilliant meteor that flashed up
the canyon.
In our minds eye we had figured
on a beautiful place called by old
hunters and porspe ctors "Hunters
Paradise" where we could consume
our sardines in peace and gaze upon
the sweet face of nature, while our
cayuse filed up on the sweet grass
and sparkling water.
On and on we went until the last
traces of civilization beer bottles and
playing cards. had disappeared and
and alone in the silent pines we
watched the graceful meanderin g of
the CAD fly and busted ourselves in
vain def ense against the festive
mosquito. A swapping of some dry
aroused US from our reverie
and looking in the direction from
the noise came we saw a beau
tiful sight. A happy family of deer,
consisting of a buck, doe and fawn'
standing gazing at us with their
large and wondering eyes, the head
Of the family knowing that it was
proper for him to do something
stamped his foot and advanced a step
or two and then as if deeming flight
the better part of valor, they retired
in good order. Our faithful time
keeper Notwithstanding the frequent
'~'soakings" it has gone through, mark
ed the hour of noon, and just as we
were about to decend we saw the
cleaning canvass of a tent at the
side of babbling brook called Sheep
creek. We bore down upon it and
to our astonishment and Joy were
greeted by our friend and aquaint-
ance Dan Mcneil, who with a large
outfit was grading the new county
road from White Sulpher Springs to
Neihart. Accepting his kind invita-
ton to dinner we turned our cayuse
loose and ourselves too, and ate the
biggest meal on record. 1t is a mis-
take to imagine that all editors are
rubber.necked consumptives, raised
on frogs legs and angle-food, for a live
western editor when charged with
ozone will decrease the worlds visi-
BILE supply of eatables to a marked
degree. After dinner we reclined in
the shade out of reach of the horsc-fy
which was abroad in the land, and
and rested for a season.
The new road is a perfect boule'
ward, with good substantial br idges
and it was a pleasure to ride over it
bidding Mr.. Mcneil goodbye We
struck out for the o Brien Park, and
on the way saw many deer, rabbits
and grouse, also large tracks in
the soft ground which we recog
nized as that of tho elk and bear. w.
have marked the spot and easter,
nabobs or English lords who seal
the pages of the HERALD and con
template to 60 hunting will do wei
to consult the editor as to terms, etc
for conducting them to this rende-
vous of game.
