Tramping About Through

The young women here have discoy-

They have been out twice within a
week, and had no end of fun in tramp
ing round through the woods and
swamps at midnight and later hunting
the cunning coon. They engaged the
services Of an experienced hunter, who
has had wide experience in hunting
big game in the Rocky mountains, and
knows all the haunts of the wild an
imals in this vicinity. -Four young
women started out under this famous

boots and their shortest and oldest
golf skirts. After they had tramped
through the swamps and over the steep,
rocky hills for three miles the hounds

DRINKS IN OTHER DAYS.

The earliest mention of wine in the
Bible is a reference to Noah planting
a vineyard and getting drunk with
The wine.
The Roman lover, when drinking to
his lady, often drank as many cups of
wine as there were letters in her name.
Warm water was sometimes regarded
by the Romans as an agreeable drink,
the conclusion Of the chief meal.
Famous among drinkers were the
Vikings, whose Liquors were ale, beer,
wine and mead. Quating ale from the
skulls of their enemies formed one
of the chief attractions of the prom
ised Nalhalla.

enough bullion In private hands to
bring the grand aggregate above
