The Fishermen,

Editor Intelligencer.
The party arrived all safe after a
most pleasant trip. We came by
rail from Pueblo to Wolcott, and then
by stage to this place, which is about
81 miles from railroad. We are camped
on Bear River, in the valley of Egerico,
a most beautiful location, surrounded
by mountains whose snow capped peaks
reach so high that you must lay on
your back to see the top Of them.
We are just a little early for good
fishing, owing to IN unusually heavy
fall of snow, which keeps the streams
very high; but they are going down
rapidly and we hope to have some rare
sport in a few days. | wish you would
please send my mail together with one
of the Kansas City daily papers to
Pallas, care of Leo Thayer, We seem
out of the world. Yours truly, IKE.
The Independence Examiner thus
writes up the trip through Kansas;
Isaac Neal, private secretary to Con-
gresham Cowherd, chaperoned a party
of fishermen from Lexington, Mo-, to
the mountains of Colorado this week,
In the party were Col. j. G. Crenshaw,
Major Mansfield McClelland, Captain
John Chamberlain and Prof. +. N.
Hopkins. Mr.. Neal has lost none of
his well-known resemblance to Col. W.
J.. Bryan; and as the party passed
through Kansas news was sent ahead
on the route that Col. Bryan and party
were on the train, and great crowds met
them at every station. There was
nothing else for Mr.. Neale to do in
order to ave the appearance of democ-
racy, but to stand at the rear platform
and welcome the crowds. He would
run his fingers through his long, black
hair and when the train stopped wave a
silver dollar in II hand and make
motions like he was speaking. The
enthusiasm was so great, for everyone
recognized Bryan at once, that no one
expected to hear a speech, and the
reputation of the great apostle OF
democracy was not in the least in
jured. Then as the train would begin
, to move came the rush of ha~ndshaking.
I and many is the enthusiastic voter in
, Kansas who will treasure the warm
handshake he received from Mr.. Bryan
, on this trip. When the party reached
Colorado Mr.. Neal was so worn out
that he gave up the platform to Col
Crenshaw who represented Marx
Hanna. At one station he found that
the residents had heard of Hanna being
on his way to Europe, and they said
, mean things. Mr.. Neale took along hi!
dress suit case, avering that he would
Z not eat the royal mountain trout tina
they expected to catch, after six %o'clocl
, in the evening without doing the homo
, of a dress suit. The party expects t
be away about six weeks, and vii
return home another way so that the!
Q will miss Kansas.

which the party were led into the dining room. Here elegance and taste were displayed in many ways. Across one wall in large letters were the words: "Welcome, Dec, 2l. 1899" Holly and pine were here used to good effect in making the place attractive. The refreshments were not of the "light order,' but the long table was burdened with large store of the choicest of nor sels-a magnificent supper. The menu included every thing that pos sibly could be desired, and the hearty manner in which it was partaken of testified as to the complete satis- faction it afforded the company. After justice was here rendered. dancing Was again resumed and at the break o'day, "Home sweet home' was sounded. The guests left tired, but happy throng. Both Mir. and Mrs. Ladd were so careful of the comforts of their guests that all felt more than grateful for their attention. AS host and hostess they are exceptionally excellent.

 1A Friday afternoon was a time
 that Mir. Sol Franklin will long re-
 member, and many of his friends

 of the time. The occasion was a birthday party given to Sol by his
 parents. Mir. and Mrs. Sam Franklin in honor of Sol's seventh birthday
 Quite a number of his young friends,
 about fifty, were invited to enjoy
 the afternoon with him. The house
 was decora ted with mistletoe and
 holly. The decorations in the dining-room were emblematic of the occasion. The table vas lighted by seven candles, and in each cake there were seven small lighted can dles in dainty candle-stieks. These last were souvenirs for the friends of little Sol. and when they were ready to leave each child was given one to take home. Dancing was indulged in and the affair proved an occasion that will long finger with the young folks in the sweet recesses of memo ".
 NANCE AND SUPPER.-A gather O ing of young people from Pine Bluff, Little Rock, Fordyce and Noble Lake assembled together at Ladd's Thursday night as the guests of Mir. and Mrs. E. F. Ladd.

This popular couple royalty received and from the expressions given forth by those in attandence. the occasion was one of the most successful social events ever known in the history of the country. MT. Ladd, to enter tain his many friends, spared no ex- pense. A cozy dancing hall was built especially for the occasion, and was the admiration of all. Apropos of the time the hall was decorated with holly and pine, bespeabing the near approach of Christmas. His home was ornamented very pretti- ly and this was a convenient retreat for the dancers. A splendid string band from Pine Bluff was in attan- dance and furnished the sweet strains to which the youLg folks kept time until early morn came peeping o'er the horizon.

Sugar and lis History.

Sugar is a constituent of most plants,

formerly supposed to be merely store
houses of starch, have lately been
found to contain notable quantities OF
sucrose or SaccharOSe. the specific
name used by chemists to distinguish
the substance in question from its
carbohydrates possessing a sweet
taste. The popular name for this sub
stance, however. cane sugar, indicates
the plant containing it in sufficient
abundance to first attract the attention
of mankind. This plant probably
originated in Asia. whence y has
spread gradually to all tropical .cgions,
its eaSy propagation from eyes on the
cane itself assisting materially in its
dissemination. The cultivation of this
plant for its sweet qualities stretches
far back into the past. "SWeet canes

extraction of sugar from is Juice. and
especially the use of the substance as
a separate article of food, is 4 matter
Of comparatively recent date.
For centuries it was used in Europe
only as a confectiOn or as Il medicine.

Do Birds Eat Butterflies.

Naturalists have as yet been rno,,,
to give a decisive answer to tho oros
ton. Do birds eat butterflies or M,
Some unhesitatingly answer it in no
negat e. while others as positively
maintain that owing to lack of Sna.
cient data no is as yet warranted
In giving a decisive answer. In rhs
last number Of the Revue Scientjioua
there is an interesting article on TIA
subject which seems to show tina,
some birds certainly eat butterflies
The writer, referring to the recen,
journey of NJ. Katharinia through
Central Asiatic Turkey. says: on one
occasion NJ. Katharinia saw a larca
number of butterflies hunted by birds
In a short time many butterflies were
killed. The survivors managed to con.
ceal themselves under some herbaca
and the birds did not disturb them any
more. In spite. therefore. Of certain
assertions to the contrary. it can safely
be stated tina birds do to some extent
prey upon butterflies. At the same
time it is worthy of note that birds do
not pursue butterflies except when the
latter are flying
