AxovlI adaptation Of the house-boat
idea 70 overland pleasure has been
worked out by . wealthy Kansan. With
his wife he started from his Kansas
home week or two ago on q summer
pleasure trip to the far northwest in q
big prairie schooner, built expressly for
the trip and fitted with most Of the
convenience and comforts Of q summer
cottage. The wagon Is Of more than
ordinary size, even for q prairie achoon-
er. Tho bed Of the wagon Is Aoored
over, and on this Is constructed . sub
stantial house Of canvas, with strong
wooden framework. It has windows
In the sides and doors at each end, and
Is compactly and cosily fitted. The
wheels are low and have very wide
tires. In this conveyance the couple
will travel over the prairies and the
western trails, as fancy dictates, Just
as . house.boat party lszily drifts
among the Florida bayous.

COLORADO SPRINGS, July 2S.-Sat-
urday's REFLECTOR brought joy to us
today in the announcement Of rain in
Dickinson county. We have been
wishing you could have some Of the
moisture which has been frequently
falling here and which is not at all
needed. The farmers here are indie
pendent Of atmospheric conditions,
since everything is irrigated. IT has
been raining all day, and scarcely a
day has passed since we reached here
that the mountains have not been
bathed in clouds, which precipitated
rain, snow or hail.
While Kansas has been sweltering,
we have had scarcely warm day,
and double blankets have been very
comfortable every night,
Colorado Springs is beautiful
city and an ideal summer resort.
The streets are wide and perfectly
smooth. 1t Is not necessary to pave
them, as the soil forms q perfect
roadbed which is not affected by the
rain. The lawns are flooded once a
week from the bitches which run on
both sides Of every street. This ID
done without cost to the property
holders.
1t is said that there are 5000
wheels in the city, and one would not
question this statement, II he watched
the men, women, and children for an
hour, riding down one Of the princi-
pal streets.
Our party has taken several delight
full excursions, notably "Around the
Loop, through "Cheyenne Canon y
"The Garden Of the Gods" and
"William's Canon" where the varied
scenery charmed the eye and is Of in
describable beauty, Next Saturday
we 60 to the top Of Pixies Peak,
whose snowy summit is distinctly
visible from the window near which
| am sitting.
The summer school Is an entire sue
cess. The attendance Is nearly 400.
We have a boarding club Of 275 mem
bers. Most Of the Dickinson county
teachers are rooming at Hageman
hall. Among the faculty Of the
school are such men as Ely Of Wis
consin university, Wilkinson Of Chi
cago university, Perkins, Of Chicago
James of Harvard, Russell OF Colo
RADIO university, Channingof Harvard,
and a score Of others.
With sympathy for your fevered
condition, 5. N. Cook.

three squaws and pappooses. A herd
Of ponies went with the crowd. The

Misery Loves Company.

1t grows very monotonous to have
lot Of trouble without anyone to
help share 1t and 1t is a great relief
to know that you are not the only
one to have a little worriment. This
was the opinion of Mrs. W. +. Glelss-
ner and after two weeks of mourning
for her stolen driving horse she con-
cluded that she would not be alone in
her disappointment. The handsome
new barn has no equine occupant and
50 Wednesday evening she went to
the barn of her neighbor and friend,
Mrs. Orrin Smith, and took her driy-
ing horse home, hitching it in the
Gleissner barn. Yesterday morning
Mrs. Smith missed her horse and then
there was trouble. The whole neigh
borhood, including the children, was
aroused by the fearful news that
there had been another horse stealing
case and the good offices Of marshal,
sheriff, constables and school direc-
tors were sought in fearful entreaty
to find the missing horse. After the
agony had gone far enough Mrs,
Gleissner led the horse home and
claimed reward-which she did not
get. Peace reigns on West Second
street once more and all persons who
have had horses stolen receive the
sincerest sympathy Of two women in
that part OF town.

in such a condition is likely to mean no

anything out of the fact that Dutton made

HE didn't mention the President by

claim in which he tried to interest the
