One afternoon, assride diminutive bur-
ros, we left tho hotel and drove down into
the cool shadows of the canyon We were
bound for q giant fig tree far up the noun
tain side. AS far as we could see were vast
vistas of mountains and valleys. Thc do
nuded sides of Eagle rock rose above a
growth of manzanita and madronyo. A
hawk in gradually lessening circles glided
down the gray walls of q volcanic slide
and assembled in another moment with 8
rabbit in it's talons. The sun found It's
way in blotches OF light through the net
work of leaves and wild grapevines above
our heads. Tho burros, imperyious to
our blowsa and threats, hardly moved along
the narrow trail that at times wound
along shifting beds of gravel where but
one misstep would nave dropped the rider
down hundreds of feet among the great
powders In the bed of tho creek. Ofttimcs
the trail was SO steep that we held Oh with
difficulty, and yet our long cared shor,
legged beasts ploddod on with the same un-
varying regularity that we had found fault
with on the level.
Vast clouds of steam were issuing from
the "Tea Kettle to our right that met
the sun and formed a dozen miniature
feeting rainbows. A deep, stony arroyo
separated us from the great man fig. We
were forced to dismount and crowd our
burros into this gulch and up the opposite
side. That they resented this treatment
we found on our return, for one and all
positively refused to take one step down
ward into the arroyo. We pleaded and
begged, patted and whipped to no purpose.
They simply braced their four small feet.
laid back their long cars and took it all
alike in scornful silence. AT last we ranged
them along the edge of the arroyo, and
then l took Is run Il a jump and threw
my shoulder against the most stubborn OF
the lot. The move was successful. Like
a shot the little fellow went over the bank
and landed on his feet at the bottom. The
others surrendered and scrambled meekly
down.-Overland Monthly.

His hair Is always beautifully smoothed,

paintings, the result of ~arti1cc. An in

ends were not SO stiff1y starched you never
hurt his feelings by mentioning it. His at
tire is always faultless, immaculate, and
his shoes especially win your warm and
envious admiration. They are nevor spot
ted, creased nor cracked as are your own.
Personally your are not we'll acquainted
with him. Your wife mentions his name
sometimes, n your daughter is not
averse to his society, vol understand.
Quite often you meet him on the doorstep
when you return home from the Office,
whereupon he shakes hands with you quite
affably, if in u somewhat high handed fash
ion, and you strive to rccollect his name
with but Indifferent success, usually call
ing him by tho appellation of his prede-

Sometimes You run across him at your

hind the hall door, where she imagined
herself unseen by you. You do not beg
him to stay. Somehow it is very difficult
to make conversation with the man your
daughter knows.
And so you keep on meeting him at
short intervals, until one day your daugh-

him for her at a figure which you consider
quite modest, when you come to think Of
his shoes and hair. Whereupon your wife

Glowing Tribute to the City by One Of 1t.
Own Papers.

Own Papers.
Chicago Is responsible for this fad which
has got possession Of other cities in the
length and breadth of our land. We refer
to the craze which has given us the ssgreat.
or New York. agitation, the 'sgreate1
Providence" the greater Boston," the
"greater Wichita and so on ad infnitum.
There has never been any talk of a
greater Chicago, for the reason, we sup.
pose, that Chicago's greatness has at all
times been regarded as superlative. It is
this conceded greatness which has set the
others to thinking, to planning, to schem-
Ing. 1t has given birth to the impulse
which inspires other towns and cities tc
hump themselves. Chicago is SO great that
she has power not only to sustain herself,
but also to provide all the rest of the
country with ambition and energy. 1t has
been scientifically demonstrated that
enough nervous energy is wasted daily in
Chicago to conduct all the business of the
world two weeks at u gait more rapid
than that pursued by the average business
man Of St. Louis in the discharge of his
affairs.
We see the influence Of Chicago mani
tested very clearly in the flutter which has
agitated the presidents and trustees OF
eastern colleges ever since Chicago uni
versity came into existence. Before that
happening those eastern fellows didn't
care boob for and didn't say booh to the
west. They were sure of the west. But
now that Chicago has a university-tbc
university, If you please-mercy sakes
alive! what a shaking up of the old dry
bones there is down in Yankeedom! What
q scared lot they are! Why, we've had
them III the run for the last two years,
and we're going to keep them on the run
too. What sweet things they say of the
west now! How particular they are to
visit us, and address our alumni dinners,
and dance attendance upon us, and curry
favor with us. We wonder whether they
really suppose we are such blind idiots as
not to see that they are scared-scared al
most to death!
The colleges of the country, the business
of the country, the art, the literature, the
sciences-all feel the influence of Chicago
and are responding to it. Because Chicago
is great, everything associated and identi-
fed with her must be great. She is the
fountain head Of American spirit, enter
prise and energy; she is the leaven that
leaveneth the whole lump!-Chicago Rec

lamp to fill the Phoenix with 1000 cubic
meters OF h3 drogen gas. DR.. Berson
somewhat altered his preparations to suit
the special circumstances and aims of
his aerial trip. He left the heavy anchor
behind, and stretched out the lone
