Nothing could be more false. Period

that it was the one incident in my long
South American experience when 1

My wanderings as an orchid hunter
had carried me far into the interior,
IN the neighborhood of the Humirida
mountains. Before reaching the level
of the great Roraima savannah, the
trail ran through a belt Of virgin forest
that must have been there when Column
bus contracted '1ife's fitful fever" It
surpassed in grandeur anything had
yet seen in Brazil, Bolivia, Guatemala
or anywhere else. Below, the stems
stood isolated, as it were, each giant
monarch in his own domain, the Slim
NEST we saw measuring fifteen feet
around, whilst some of the larger were
more than double that size. They rose
like columns, unbrenched. to tho
height of some sixty or seventy feet,
where their mighty outspreading
branches, laden with dense foliage,
formed canopy almost i:npervious to
rain and through which the sunlight
could never pierce.
Our camp at the time of which I
write was amongst the foot hills of the
Huniridas, across n belt of the great
savannah which divided the mountains
from this forest. One morning while
collecting in the hills where the forest
was stalwart enough, but far from

mustache had grown again. l have
never dispensed with my mustache
since that time Men do not generally
realize what difference can be made
in their appearance by shaving or by
wearing mustaches and whiskers."
While the latter statement of Col.
Mussey is undoubtedly true, there are
a great many men who may readily
dispense with their mustaches or their
-whiskers, and yet not be very much
changed in their personal appearance.
There is Tom Reed, of Maine, for ex-

Modern warships do not have tall
masts to be climbed. or complicated

did men-of-war of the past generation.
Instead they are floating fortresses and
workshops full of heavy machinery,

AN ATTRACTIVE SIGHT.

Those who passed G.. Schmidt &
Sons store today generally stopped to
admire the arrangement of the deep
display windows. They have been
fixed up with admirable taste, the
south one with fine new valises and
the north one with beautiful fur
robes, forming a background for the
horse in action, fitted with all the
turf goods in the market.
Passing within, one cannot help but
be struck with the completeness OF
the stock in all its departments and
it's good arrangement. Outside OF
METROPOLITAN cities, we know of no
better stock in this line. They were
all carefully selected by Mr.. Q. W..
Schmidt on his recent extensive East
ern trip. The goods ordered have by
no means all arrived, but a glance
about will reveal large quantities or
choice stock. Winter goods are most
abundant, including blankets and
robes. all the best to be found. All
the turf goods are there without
limit. and there is no end to the har-
nesses-double, single, light, heavy,
carriage and farm. The trunk stock
has no superior, and the stock OF
valises will more than satisfy those
who are hardest to please. We might
90 on enumerating different classes OF
goods to the length of column, but
will not, hoping that our readers will
call and look over the stock for them
selves.
G. Schmidt & Son are too old and
reliable a firm to need any mention,
and their goods speak for themselves.
They believe in keeping abreast of
the times, and those who pass. their
store will not fail to say that they
have done so.

A Telling Canvass.
Worthington Advance:

The great campaign Congressman
McCleary, is making will bring plenty
of good fruit Nov. 9Th. Without doubt
he is making the most telling canvass
of any one on the stump in the state.
His manner of addressing an audience
is winning friends everywhere. A
prominent Democrat remarked the
next moring after his speech in
Worthington: ''Why, McCleary could
not be anything but gentleman even
if he should try; he is honest in every
thing-l no not think he would make
a statement he did not believe to be
true, even if it would make ten tLou-
sand Republican votes"
