for me- said Lady Irving. "Russin,s
idea Of harmonious thought OF art with
nature, seems to have been developed in
this little paradise, where the cool, clear
water gurglng at our feet makes Il Hlusi-
cal accompaniment to the attractive
scene"
But to me the picturesque grandeur
of the rugge;! cliffs is most fascinating"
said Mrs IIollard.
"Wen, this is the summer home of Cen
erai Palmer, the originator of the Denver
& Rio Grande railway" said Loilard in
his practical, business way. ''The cascade
that forms this little stream comes tumb-
ling down the mo>lntain side into the Dew
IFS punch bowl, at the head of Queens
Canyon" he continued, reading his guide
book.
How nice to have a living guide book"
laughed Melvorne, as we walked up the
gentle rise of ground until we could look
into the round well called the DEVILS
Punch Bowl. Here we could 60 no farther
without severe climbing, and as it was
getting near lunch time, we preferred to
use our time for refreshments rather than
spend it climbing the mountain.
While we were at lunch Melvorne asked
where we were to go next.
ITO the Garden of the Gods " answered
Lollard.
Our journey led through a smooth plain,
with perpendicular walls of red and yellow
sandstone. which marked the entrance to
the garden. ....
What pleasant ride v-e have had over
these, smooth, hard roads; it reminds me
of hOme,' said Mrs. Lollard
"1t seems like the picturesque parts of
England and Wales" said Melvorne.
This, then, is the famous Garden of the
Gods said Stella, as we came into the
gateway of the garden. II think the name
must have been given it from it's resemb-
| lance to the heather temples. This we
| may imagine the broken archway to the
Egyptian temple Karnak,' referring to
| the perpendicular walls, three hundred
feet high, of red and yellow sandstone.
"Then these are the speaking statues of
| Memnon, whose lips gave forth musical
| sounds when touched by the rays of the
| rising sum-" said Lady Irving, following
out Stella's thought of the heather temple,
! as she passed to some forms that seemed
| weird enough to represent heather gods.
and what are these grotesque forms?'
| asked Melvorne as we came to group of
| wind cut monuments.
80, they are the priests, and these
strange forms are bearing incense before
the god Apis, who stands there in all the
dignity of his sacred godship, even to the
color" said Stella, pointing to huge dark
image in the center of group.
Pray, what was Apis? This looks much
like an ANIMAL said Lollard
| %, know" exclaimed Mrs Lollard
ut was the sacred bull that the Egyptians
worshiped."
''To what religion does yon immense
cube belong? 1t is large enough for a
dwelling house, and so nicely balanced on
a point that the weight of child's finger
could seemingly upset it?'' asked.
THAT is the sacred seal of Mahomet' g
faith only the temple has been removed -
said Stella.
Then those high battlements with
broken windows are part OF the Mosque
of St. Omar" suggested Lollard.
This is Buddha, and that the sacred
cow" said Lady Irving, going from one
statue to another.
The Sully County watchman. (Clifton, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1894, 1893-03-03

How appropriate it is that the cnnn-
nant color here should be red, which
means passion, as the heather gods appeal
only to the ba3er sentiments of mankind" :"
said Stella thoughtfully.
But leave out the thoughts of the
heathen gods and view the wonders of the
landscape filled with strange colossal
images Here and there snow-white
limestone tower or crag to bring out more
vividly the deep rich tints of red and
brown surmounted by the sapphire blue
of the heavens above. Under foot the
smooth level surface of the valley is car
peted with equally rich tints, made brill
liant by mingled green and gray of brass
and MOSES. And, towering over all, not
far away, see the snow clad summit Of
Pixies Peak. 1t rears it's lofty form, a flt-
ting background for this paatomime in
naturep' said Melvorne, moved to elo-
quence by the grandeur of the scene.
Then for a time we all felt the influence
of the awful mystery that surrounds this
weird and sacred place. With bowed
heads and devout hearts we each acknowl-
edged that we were in the presence Of the
God of Nature!
From the Garden of the Gods we went
southwark over beautiful level road be-
tween huge bluffs and crags on either side.
We drove into the mouth or opening in
the mountain called Cheyenne Canyon.
This cash in the giant mountain walls
seems like roadway cut into deep snow
drift which has become solid mountain
and defies the power of man to move it;
while down it's farther side comes dash
ing, rushing foaming and roaring water
fall; From the nearly level valley down
which the stream flows with gentle move
ment we can see but three of the seven
falls that drop the water from the melted
snow into the granite well at the head OF
the narrow gorge. Going up the gorge to
the Well is not very difficult.
THE water falls five hundred feet in
seven leaps" said Lollard, as we still
stood at the mouth of the deep cash in the
mountain side.
'Where are the trio?" asked Melvorne
as he turned to look for the ladies.
There they go up the canyon" l said
as we started to overtake them. But they
We're more spry than we and could skip
along over the stones and across the mar
row streams with ease
At last we reached the head of the can
yon where the ladies commenced making
merry by throwing snow balls at the oppo-
site walls of the canyon. BY some unac-
countable impulse they aimed their mis-

Is that the theory of their creation?''
NO" said Mr.. Lollard, consulting his
guide book. 'They are said to be formed
by the currents of air which descend from
the mountains in funnel-shaped currents

wound, and l was called in as the near
est doctor to stop the flow of blood be-
fore he could be removed. He had a
pretty little house; pretty little wife
of his own, who, with her baby of a few
weeks in her arms. shrank stricken with
shame and horror i'll the farthest corner
of the room.
1T seems she had never so much as
dreamed of her husbands business,
which took him so often away from her
at night. She appeared to shrink away
from him as if he were an absolute
stranger to her, rs if he could not be the
man she had known. What she might
have done further don't know, for the
fellow died of his wound. He tore the
bandage off on the first opportunity and
Just bled his life away. People were in

she would not have lacked kindness, but
then, as now, she disappeared.
There was a rumor that she was q

TOMORROW.

The robin chants when the thrush is dumb;
Snow smooths a bed for the clover;
Life flames anew, and days TO come
Are sweet as the days that are over.
The tide that GIBBS by the moon flows back;
Faith builds on the ruin of sorrow;
The halcyon futters in winters track,
And night makes way for the morrow
And ever a strain, of JOY the sum,
Sings on in the heart of the lover
In death sings On-that days to come
Are sweet as the days that are over!

Launch of the Battle Ship Indiana at
Cramps, Ship Yard.

PHILADELPHIA, March 1.--Amid the din
of screaming whistles, the footing Of steam
ships and the lusty chorus of the thousands
who stood by, the great battle ship In
diana took life yesterday afternoon and
glided away to the bosom of the Delaware
AS the vessel trembled before starting
hown the ways Miss Jessie Miller proudly
broke the neck Of bottle Of wine overh her
bow and said in a clear and distinct voice,
IL christen thee Indiana"
The launch occurred in the midst of a
downfall of hail and sleet that drove the
chills through everybody in Cramps yard.
Notwithstanding the inclement weather,
fully 12,000 people witnessed the launch.
Those who came from Washington were:
President Harrison, Major Halford, Lieu
General Miller, Mrs. W. Il Miller, Mrs S.
d. Miller, Miss Jessie Miller, Miss Hebe
Hurd, Postmaster General Wanamaker,
Secretary Tracy, Assistant Secretary Soley,

The arrival of President Harrison and
party was the signal for storm of applause
from those on the platform which was
up by those on board the Massachusetts
and Indiana
As soon as 1t was ascertained that the
launch was successful the invited guests
were taken to The counting room, where a
luncheon was served, after which all the
ladies were presented with handsome
bouquets as souvenirs of the occasion.

about a Ieassembling of the international

IN SENATE AND HOUSE.
The Upper Body Decides Against Hold
ing an Executive Session.

WASHINGTON, March THE Republican
side of the senate was subjected to great
modification yesterday in it's defeat by the
minority side of the chamber on n motion
which divided the two parties into oppo-
site camps. 1t was on motion to proceed
to executive business. Mr.. Sherman made
IL, and said that a brief executive session
was important, but that he could not then
give the reason. The motion was defeated
When the result was announced, and
when 1t was ascertained that no Repub.
lican senator had voted in the negative,
but that several of them who were not
pa;re1 had not voted there was private
exhibition of disappointment among those
Republicans who had voted. That feeling
found expression in the remark, 1--WE
might as well give the senate over to the
Democrats at once" A renewal of the
attempt couple of hours afterwards met
with u like fate. The important features
of the days session were the passage of
the naval and agricultural appropriation
bills and of the bill regulating the sale Of
Intoxicating liquors in the District of
Columbia
In the house the greater part of the day
was consumed in tho consideration of an
election case in which there was no interest
manifested. After three hours debate Mr..
Turpin Dem from the Fourth district of
Alabama, was declared entitled to the seat
which he has occupied since the opening Of
the present congress, and his contestant,

duly elected. The most important action
was the passage, without opposition, of

A LITTLE GIRLS SINGULAR ESCAPE

For Over Eight Hours She Was Buried
Under the Smoking Ruins, and Was
Rescued None the Worse for Her PERIL
Gus Experience.
CHICAGO, March by the falling Of the
walls of John York's burned dry goods
store, at Halstead and Nineteenth streets.
six and perhaps seven people were in
stantly killed and four others seriously
injured.
The killed are: John Smith, aged 45;
Lizzie Smith, aged 13; Hattie Smith, aged
4; Paulna Mortin. aged 10; William Kunze,
aged 4s; Mrs. Mary kunze, aged As; George
Mesterle.
Injured: f. Kuntz, Jr., Patrol Sergeant
LOughlan, Mrs. Amelia Smith, probably
fatal; Police Officer William NTH.
The catastrophe was caused by the col
lapsing before the high wind of the walls
of the burned York building. These had
been standing since the fire which last
winter destroyed the store and contents.
The warmth and rain melted the ice and
the wind shoo k the tottering walls until
they fell with crash, burying two houses
with their sleeping inmates The ruins
aftcrward caught fire.
The two houses destroyed were the sa-
iubi VI ooult OIllIii, NJ tUl
street, and the tiewcry store of A. kuntz, ut
No Tb3 Halsted street. Both were frame
structures, and both were occupied on the
stories by the families of the owners of the
places Of business below.
That all in he buildings were not killed
seems almost miracle, but while two
We're taken out alive one of them, Mrs.
Amelia Smith wife of the saloon keeper,

aged 81 years,
The fate of Smith bartender, whose full
name is unknown, is n mystery He occu-
pied a room on the second story of the
Smith house, but as his bed when found
in the ruins showed no trace of having
been occupied, it is thought he may not
have been at home at the time Of the
catastrophe.
The work of rescue was quickly begun
and Mrs. Smith and young Kunze were
soon rescued from the debris alive. The
rescue alive of little Annie Smith, years
old, was little short of miraculous. 1t was
after 10 o'clock when the laborcrs ex
tricated her from great heap of rubbish
near the front wall She had been under
the ruins, exposed to the smoke and heat
and the water thrown by the fire engines,
for over eight hours and had been given
up for lost. She is not badly hurt and
will recover.
