AN OUTING PARADISE

Long Island is an undiscovered coun-
try to great number of people. Very
few realize that the little line shown
on the large map is one hundred and
thirty-four miles long and of varying
widths up to twenty-five miles. Few
realize that it was the first section of
the United States settled by colonists
from both England and Holland, and
that their towns are to-day full of pic
turesque houses, beautiful avenues of
trees, in fact with all the inland beau
ties and in addition the various attrac-
tions of the seashore.
While the South Shore for portion
of its length is almost level, the North
Shore is hilly and heavily wooded.
Every portion of the island is we'll
suited for mans abiding place. It has
in most marked degree the three
great necessities of life and civilization,
Good Air, Good Water and Good Roads.
The western section Queens and Mas
sau Counties) is crossed in every direc-
ton by the best of macadam roads;
six hundred miles having been built
within three years. The eastern end
of Suffolk County has excellent roads
consisting of macadam, gravel, shell
and country roads running through the
woods or along the shore. Fishing,
hunting, bathing, yachting, cycling and
golfing are all INDUCED in under most
perfect conditions.

A NEW EXPERIENCE.
Phebe Ann Was Greatly Worried
Over the Actions of the
Trees and Houses.

She is on ly little black pickaninny who
lives down in Georgia. She is under dozen
years in age and until a short time ago had
passed all OF her life on a rural plantation.
Trains and their attendant movements were
utterly unknown. Indeed, what Phebe Ann
knew of anything outside of that plantation
would not make the beginning OF primer.
She was being educated for house servant
and hence was not permitted to roam to any
great extent. She was busy about the big
house all day and at night retired to the
shack set apart for her family.
Along. in the season, for some good rea.
son, 1t became necessary for the family to
move into city. The little negro girl was
wanted, for she had much skill in soothing
the childish woes Of the heir to the estates
90 II was decided that she must accompany
the expedition. From the time she entered
the carriage to ride to the railway station
Phebe Ann was in a state of suppressed ex.
cltement., She sat beside Miss Amy" as
she called her mistress, and with staring
eyes took in all that passed without com.
ment.
When she was taken into tie train her
wonderment was amusing. She sat gin.
gerly on the cushions, looked out of the win.
dow and generally seemed uncertain con-
:erning the possibilities of the future. She
was silent until the train commenced to
move. Then her fear took shape. She saw
the landscape passing rapidly before her and
1er, eyes filled, her lip quivered and she
,nfIled audibly.
What's the matter, Phebe ANN" asked
her mistress.

wyoming of a Gang OrOutlaws Hid
ing in a Mountain stronghold.
Casper, Wyo., June 12.-rhe Hole in
the WALL" for years a refuge for out
laws, promises to be cleansed of its
desperate inhabitants. The daring
robber band which looted the Union
Pacific express at Rock creek recently
and escaped to their dens in the Hole
in the WALL" in spite of the fact that
they were closely pursued, are to be
hunted to death. For this purpose
the railroad managers with inter-
ests in this state are organizing
posses and the outlaws will be given
no rest. 1t is expected 200 men will
engage in the hunt.
The express and railroad companies
and the state have offered an aggre-
gate reward of $4,000 each for the
heads of the members of the band. In
addition to this head money, the men
in this chase will be armed and fed by
the corporations and big cattle com-
panies of this section during the time
they are engaged. Thus they are en-
abled to enlist a typical band of rough
riders, every man of them dead shot.
Many of them are cowboys, others are
old frontiersmen who have fought In-
dams in the same territory over which
they will now pursue the bandits and
others are the detectives of big cor
porations. The various bands of man
hunters will be accompanied by Indian
trailers, bloodhounds and pack trains.
The men are all to be sworn in as
deputy sheriffs and will he in charge of
the officers Of the counties in north
western Wyoming.
A gorge so narrow that horses can
not walk abreast is the only gateway
into the hole. There are paths over
the granite wall for men, but not for
beasts. Leading in from Montana
there are two or three obscure routes
that eventually enable one to reach the
rendezvous of the outlaws, but they are
known to but few trailers and Indian
fighters. The man hunters in this
case, however, who have been hired for
an indefinite period, will use the
known trails and the end of the out
law reign in the Hole in the Wall"
country is believed to be near.
The six road agents who looted the
Union Pacific express train will not
oppose this small army of the allies
alone. 1t is estimated that so men on
whose heads there are prices set and
who are wanted in many states are
hiding there. Some of them are fol-
lowing the peaceful pursuits of farm
ers and ranchers and only seek to hide
their identity. Many of these men
are convicted criminals and some of
them are under sentence Of death.

the house was demolished.
