to receive their first experience of SOL
der life. Though they go to foreign
lands and SUMMER climes. yet they will
meet with no class of people superior
to themselves, either in the arts of

native mountain state have made them
brave and hardy, have developed in
them a clear head. a strong heart. a
true eye, a steady hand. They will
never meet their equals upon the field
of battle. They have no human foes
