he did about Odd Fellowship he was n
good deal astray of his calling

Written for the Essex County Herald.
The day came at last when it might no
longer be said that we had lived and
toiled all of our days, within sight of
these grand old mountains and had never
found time and opportunity to visit them
Stupid?
Well, perhaps not. At anyrate we have
not started out to write about stupidity.
This is a working world for those who
have to earn the salt of their porrdgc;
and northern New Hampshire is a part
of this same old world.
If there is an honest tramp on earth,
let him find his Mecca here!
We found ours that day i'll June when,
far up above us, we saw the face of the
Old Man of the Mountains while the sun
set shadows were creeping and spreading
and resting amid lake, and forest, noun
tain gorge and kissed peak.
Nights darkness did not come with the
shadows; and We went on for a few
miles, ell we came to the Basin with its
clear. deep, slowly circling waters.
We bent over the rocks that many
footsteps have made white and free from
moss. We dipped our cup and the cool
water touched our lips; it was our part
of the fountain.
Above our heads we saw part OF the
ancient rim Of this century-dug well, where
ages and ages ago perhaps, the restless,
never-hurrying waters revolved smooth
ing the solid gneiss just as they do today.
1t was enough for us
Just to stand where natures face is
Flushed with power in forest places,
Where of God authentic trace is"
The very air seemed enough to make
one immortal.
Many storm-scarred mountain side
sent n thought of sunset far into the
night; and at mornng--it it might be
called morning-these same rocks held
the shadows across the light.
o Franconia, lovclcst picture upon
which our eyes ever rested, how much
the world has carried away from thee, Of
blessing and soul-giving power, and yet
thou art--the same.
When we first came near to the noun
tains, they seemed so surrounded by high
intcrlocking wooded hills, that we won
dered how we were ever to penetrate tc
their inner shrine.
Softly, and almost before we were
aware, the green arms of the protecting
hills, drew back little and we wer'
passing in-along by messy carpets. past
the shade of guardian trees and old altar
stones, with the voice of leaf and bougi
abovc-and crystal stream below, going
on all unforbidden and still on.
The only sentinel that we saw as W.
entered was a silent orchid, type OF th'
uueerest of flowers, always unexpected
and always seeming to have the powe
of MISUNDERSTANDING alone and in TIL
shadow.
We looked steadily for it when we cam
back but we did not see it.

ISLAND POND To TACOMA, WASH.
Notes By The Way.
THURSDAY, June 4.

We left Helena about $50 p. m, with
two engines to draw us over the Rocky
Mountains. The grade over these noun
tains ranges from so to $50 #. to the
mile and ut one place for short distance
it run rs high as $50. We would 90 or
; miles around a mountain, or make
what they call a loop, and come back
within a short distance of where we
started, but OF course at a much higher
elevation. We passed through several
tunnels ranging from 600 IT, to a mile in
length, and at one place was told there
was over 400 fl. of rocks over our heads.
Passed several gold and silver mines,
some OF which were i'll successful opera
ton. The scenery Ill these mountains is
indcscribable and has to be seen to be
realized. My wife and my mother were
very much frightened in passing over the
high treStlcs, some of which are 200 fl.
high. Ny father, Ed and myself enjoved
it very much, but once was enough for
me. At one place we saw a mile board
marked Hell 16 miles" Ed began to
grow pale, but | told him thought it
meant Helena. When about p miles
from Helena we reached the height Of
land and left one engine and started
down the west slope of the mountains,
which is not as steep as the east side,
but gradual slope with good farms all
along the line.
At $50 p. m, we passed Drummond,
and shortly after had our bcrths made
and retired for the night, to lose. as the
porter told us, some very beautiful scenery
which we should pass before morning.
We awoke Friday morning to find our
selves riding along beside the Clarks
Fork, which was only small trout
brook when we went to bed the night
before. but now was some 200 or 800 #.
wide. About Z o'clock we arrived at the
town of Hope, which is a mining town
| located on Lake Pend D'Oricillc. Here
we set our watches back for the third
and last time. After leaving Hope we
run along the north shore of the lake
and crossed the west over the water on
pling some 3, of n mile, and then started
west through numbering country cut
up with small lakes and streams which
was told, abound with trout and other
! fine FISH. This continued until a little
west of Spokane, Wash, when we grad
uallv left the fertile lands and run on to
the plains, where nothing but sage brush
and cactus will grow. All the rest of the
dav we rode through this country with
nothing in sight OF any value. | was
told that all this land needs is irrigation,
but | believe this is a railroad story.
About 6 o clock we again run into better
country, with horses, cattle and sheep
grazing, and now and then a very good
farm. We passed over the Cascade
Mountains Friday night where, we was
told, the scenery was very nice, and one
tunnel two miles long We arrived at
Tacoma at $50 Saturday morning. We
are very favorably impressed with this
city, but of course have not been here
long enough to be competent Judges.
Vegetation is at least six weeks ahead OF
Vermont, and everything seems to he
tlourshing.
