The Glens possibly has the greatest num-
Der of attractions but none of them

nor are the facilities for taking care of
people nearly so good.
On reaching the Glens there is broad
heavily plateau which extends
from the roadway to the river bank.
Simplicity rules at the Glens. The own
er, an old farmer named Lusk, has near
Iy 1000 acres of ground surrounding the
Glens. His pet ayersions are the rail
roads and the Masons; one he thinks Is
looking for an opportunity to despoii
him while alive and the other for an OPP
portunity to kill him. Between the two
evils he manages TO exist. but that Is
about all. The Glens have not been de-

first excursion is usually made 10 Tur-

on the south side of the river. The en-
trance is reached just outside the regu-
lar grounds. The path can well be call
ed a mountain trail, winding down the
hillside between the trees it reaches the
bottom There extending up on either
side for a distance of fully 100 feet
