The following notes We're found Oh
the street by a TRIBUNE representative.
AS they are certainly dear to some one
and we know Of no way to describe the
property except by publishing it, we
produce it here so the owner may call
and get it:
Aug. q. have concluded to keep
diary OH this trip. We have Just a
splendid crowd and the best looking
men in town. l think Mr.. Dorman is
just grand; his moustache is so killing.
| wonder how old he is anyhow, must
find out and think can worm it out of
his father and not excite suspicion.
The rest of the gentlemen are very nice
also, especially Mr.. Dee and Mr.. Wat
kins. l wonder why Watkins don't
marry, honestly believe it is because
he is too bashful. Pshaw, why 1rW
men be so foolish. 1t some of us girls
don't make a catch on this trip we are
no good: For my part l mean to try.
l think l will commence on Mr.. Dor
man first if he is not too old, but +
must find out his age. l think his
moustache is divine.
Aug %. We stopped at Marsh and
IretOn's ranch last night. They have
the finest place ever saw. 1t is even
nicer than MIR. Dorman's moustache.
We girls had fine time and went
down to the river bathing. don't see
why the water has to Ee so cold when
girls want to battle. 1t Amt any other
time l know. l was glad when we
were dressed again for could not help
feeling nervous for fear some of those
boys would-but the thought is too
awful to write. am blushing just to
think of it. by the way l think Byron
Frost is nice, SO do the rest OF the girls.
Aug. "a. We are in camp and are
having just a heavenly time. This
country is overlooking with cookbook
ing bachelors and most of them are
well-tixed too. l believe we made
mistake by not bringing minister
along, for do believe some of the girls
would stay here with little encourage
ment. AS for Newell there is but
one ideal moustache!
Aug. 25. DR.. Maxey and Dec have
gone to hunt bear. cannot imagine
what men, especially young men, want
with big, horrid, ugly bear when they
can get girls. But men are so queer.
The rest of US are going to gather
hucklebe:ries. l hope | shall see a
snake when near some man so l can
faint. 1t would be glorious to be
caught and held in pair of strong,
brave arms. must not get near Mr..
Watkins or Ernest Boone for l fear
they would get frightened and not
catch me. More queer things about
men.
Aug. &c. l do wonder what that
handsome engineer at the saw mill
comes down here so much for. He
seems to be partial to the "baby." She
rather seems to like it too. But don't
it make Watkins look blue. l hope
they will not fight duel. That would
be just too hOrrid. am so glad that
Mr., Dee got back safe from the bear
hunt, he might have seen one. Oh yes,
DR.. Maxey got back too. just noticed
today that Mr.. Dee's moustache is not
bad and besides it is young. Oh dear,
l hardly know what to do.
Aug. q We had an adventure last
night. Just as we were going to sleep
we heard a bear on the outside of our
tent. We were just as scared as we
could be and were going to call the
boys when Alice raised the tent and
threw pan of water on him. lie ran
away on his hind feet. l didn't know
bears could run on two feet before, and
he was just the color of Mr.. McKenzie's
coat. He ran right toward the boys
tent, but l guess they were asleep for
they didn't hear him. We sat up and
played "old maid" the rest of the night.
Aug. q. The crisis is at hand.
am too nervous to write. wonder if
he actually will? BE still, my beating
heart, be still!
Aug. 90. How foolish l was yester-
day. I might have known better.
Men don't have bit of sense just when
they ought to have. l was so provoked
l could have slapped him. Well, never
mind, I'll try some one else.
Aug. 20. Baby and that mill engineer
are still flirting. He brought a must
clan twenty miles to give us dance,
but we were up at High Valley that
evening. l do wish some people about
this camp would sing something be-
sides Pull for the Shore" How much
more appropriate something senti-
