Especial Correspondence.]

And when we actually forded the identi-
tai north fork of the famous river where
the never-to-be-forgotten society once
existed, l felt like a veritable Lilly of Pow
srty Flat" myself.
My friends were awaiting me at the end
Of the stage route, and we rode many miles
through the fragrant twilight of the solemn
pines to our camp.
Such a camp!
With not a mosquito or a fly to disturb
the serenity of the deep SAUNDERS brought
On by the balm laden air.
With a leaping, bubbling, sparkling,
effervescing mountain brook rollicking
past our camp fire and fairly daring us on
to frolic with it. A stream with delicious
shady hooks and inviting pebbly banks.
avid, harum scarum, rough and tum-
BILE, chattering, laughing, devil-may-care
stream, that yet deepened out into shady
pools unexpectedly and looked SO tempt
Ing that it took an iron will to keep from
jumping in to take q bath every time you
saw it.
We were evidently not the only things
attracted by its gay chatter, for there were
numerous little trails coming down the
banks.
I was the laughing stock of the camp be-
cause l called these things tracks, but they
were tracks just the same, and deer tracks
too.
One day l found strange marks in the
ground, just as if a fat colored boy had
been strolling along barefooted.
There were the prominent heel and broad
toes.
My enthusiasm at my discovery was
cooled when | was informed that they
we're bears tracks, or-shades of Leather
Stocking forbid-a bears trail.
Not the striped, good natured animal in
The rhyme, who was so grieved to find that
soap was a drug in the market.
No, indeed!
Real live, growing grizzlies, with fero-
cious claws and a decided preference for
fresh meat as a steady diet.
Those same footmarks had the most
curious effect on M theories as to the
equality of the sexes.
Whenever l looked at them l felt the
most demoralizing anxiety for the sight of
a"tyrant man"
We caught trout in endless strings. We
went to sleep at lark and dreamed sweet
dreams of Elysian fields. We arose at sun
rise n fried fish.
We even fried venison up there, and,
what is worse, we liked it. The days
simply flew, in the reprehensible fashion
days have sometimes, and a ruthless al
manac soon told me that the hours of my
stay among the pines were numbered.
At the end of two weeks | bid my lucky
friends a fearful farewell and started for
civilization and a clean frock.
The sun was very hot at midday, once
we were out of the pines, and in an evil
hour l consented to come down the noun
tain at night.
The ''stage" was a little brake; a light,
two wheeled vehicle, with plenty of

springs. In fact, springs were the only
things it had plenty of. There was very
little seat; no back to speak of, no top, and
there might as well have been no bottom
for all the benefit I derived from it. My
feet dangled painfully in the air, and never
till then did | appreciate the agony of the
small child in a street car. The driver
was a gray and grizzled Argonaut, with a
plenteous stock of mining tales.
Whether it was because I started on
Friday or not, | shall never be able to tell;
but if ever a lone oma went on a strange
journey l was that woman.
The first thing that happened was this:
The Argonaut was in the midst of a
wild tale of u hand to hand conflict with
an enormous grizzly which had not tasted
food for weeks, when, thump! down went L
And bump! over went | on the hard,
bard road.

reputation Of being quite well behaved
inhabitant of the 200" but receatly
he developed an astonishing love for
rats. and in consequence it is almost
impossible to keep the place free from

Men and Their lSarbers,

Men are often more fussy and par
ticular about insignificant things than
women. There are thousands Of men
in New York who go miles out of their
way to get shaved. know men who
come down on the elevated. and who
get off at some intermediate point to
patronize n favorite barber. They have
done SO for years. The array of pri-
vate cups in any shop illustrates the
strength Of this shaving habit. When
a busy business man will sit half an
hour in one of these shops and tumble
the flash papers while he waits for his
particular tonsorial artist to be at lib
erty, it strengthens the conviction that
he is weaker than a woman. The man
who doesn't learn to shave himself while
his beard is young is laying up life of
slavery to public BARRIERS. In the
course of an ordinarily long lifetime he
will spend about three years sitting
around II barber shop and year or two
more going and coming. New York

The Lip in Dental Operations.

A late invention In dental practice is
the device for protecting the lower lip
of the patient while operating. It con-
sists of Il suitably shaped strip of Ger
man silver plate, bent to form when
placed in position an inverted letter l..
soft rubber pad Is held within the
bent portion. which is detachable, and
is intended to rest upon the teeth to
render the device more comfortable and
secure a loop of braid is attached to
the lower end. by which the patient
can hold the appliance firmly in place.
Though designed mainly to protect the
patients lip. this device also protects
the fingers of the dentist from the cut
ting edges of the lower teeth, assists in
keeping the mouth open, and possibly
partially distracts the mind Of the pa
tent from the operation. New York

GOD BLESS Your

The phrase is trite; the insincere
And heartless glibly use 1t.
And often hypocrites austere
To aid their projects choose it;
But when tits spoken from the heart,
While griefs and cares Cypress you.
The sun appears. the clouds depart
That common phrase, God bless you'll
Life often Is a dreary road,
Where thorns and briers beset you,
And while you stagger meath your load
Small troubles sting and fret you
1t lights the eye and dries the tear.
When all these ills distress you,
II from friendly voice you hear
The common phrase. God bless you!
And often when the heart would speak
Its impulse sweet and tender,
And other words are all too weak
Its meaning deep to render.
Or gratitude a medium seeks
In which 1t would address You.
Then in the phrase volume speaks
The common phrase. iod bless You!
