MONT LINE.

Owls Head. Lake Memphremagog. is ore OF
the most picturesque spots in the country. and has
been the favorlte outing resort for people from
New York and Boston ever since the beautiful and
well-managed hotel opened there. The house
STANDS on an elevation OF about nine hundred feet
and Is built upon a iutting point across small bay
DR.. Horace G Miller writes from Providence X T.:
"A visit TO the Owls Head Hotel will never be
regretted. The scenery Of this region is superb
The towering mountains and sheer cliffs over
hanging the water are like inland Mount Des-
ert. The air is OF an indescribable purity ard
clearness and the ever-changing lake with its
picturesque islands. is a never-endine source OF
delight 10 the eye. As place Of rest for the weary
professional man II is unexcelled. Its remoteness
from railroads. which invade nearly every
other mountain resort. gives a sense Of profound
tranquility. But there is lack of rural and
aquatic sports 10 vary the monotony OF idleness
The fishing Is excellent, and the disciples OF the
rod find ample enjoyment. especially in bass fishing.
For the pedestrian there Is the grand old noun
tain TO climb with the reward OF an almost bound
less view from the summit The drives are charm
ing. and a sail down the lake to Magog. touching
al the many picturesque landings and giving
gllmpses Of charming Canadian summer houses. is
q trip long 10 be remembered. In fact. nothing is
wanting either IN the hotel or IT'S surroundings, to
make this an ideal summer resort.
Another Endorsement comes from James n. Tyner,
ex- Postma ster- General. who wrote:

and delightful places for spending summer vaca-

sojourners."

The fisherman Of tho party listened attentively
and then told his story, as follows:
