On-the-Road. May 1G.-Editor Gazette;
While the contest for the European
tour is waxing warm. I am enjoying q
trip much less prctcntious ana thank
Ing my stars that am not drummer
and depending on the vote OF the peo-
pie for my summers fun. Not but
what It will be n delightful thing for
the fortunate one, but my heart goes
out IN pity for the NINETY and nine
who win not be elected. Methinks
their fate would be mine were l
Knight OF the grip"
So. while we are waiting for the spicy
letters which shall soon fill your col
umns, / shall drop you line or two
at intervals relating the pleasure and
peace which attend a camping-out eN-
curslon.
Numerically we are not strong. Our
crowd consists OF two married ladies'
and their husbands. II widow, one old
maid. four girls and their four escorts,
besides Mr.. BILL" the cook, and two
or three babies and small children
which belong to the married folks and
which we girls declare Il genuine nut
sunce.
MIR. nm" IS Niger and pretty
black, and we are none OF us Yankees
bccnuse we cali him mister" but only
do It for fun, and he knows It,
Yesterday We came thirty miles and
reached the Colorado river In time to
strike camp. OH how tired ana hungry
/ waal While the boys were putting up
the tent we went into the provision
box. and, armed with biscuit slice
Of ham and an onion apiece, watched
I'll the boys were not looking and the
old folks were busy and slipped down
to the river and-und-(oh, don't you
tcllD got barefouted and wndel TIL
nenrly dark. Ny! but we had fun! This
morning everything is lovely. All the
old folks have gone fishing, the boys
have gone to hunt n deer and we girls
arc mindinB the camp. I'm sitting on
a rock and writing on my knee, or, rath-
err. On box on my knee,
We don't know how long we will stay
here nor whore We win go, but for the
present this is home md we have
named II Camp Comfort" Every one Is
to do as they please, wear what they
please, eat what they please and say
what they ploasc only no one must
get mad and no one must fuss.
This rock I'm sitting on Is not rs
soft as cushion. so I'll wind this up
and II any one wants to hear more OF
our journey Will write again. Yours
for fun. dOLDkNROD.
