Joy the cool breeZes while they engage

Never in the history of the White Sui

Gossin From Newcastle.

NEWCASTLE, VA, July 14-Special.-
This is the season of most interest to the
dweller in this exquisite jewel-lille valley
of the mountains.
The village swarms with summer visit
ors, the cool winds play hide and seek
among the silken corn-tassels in the rolling
fields: tie mists drift up from the cold
creeks and veil the solemn blue faces OF
the two twin peaks that mark the sight OF
Newcastle.
The whippoorwilIs at eventide hold their
musical concerts along the thickets, and
from every village window can be seen
picture of such exquisite coloring and
perspective that people grow rugged on
diet of scenes, just as the hardy Swiss
as he trudges over his mountain paths to
the music OF goat-bells and shepherd pipes.
The hotels are fast filling up this year
Bel Air has a new mineral spring IN the
grounds; a lovely rustic pavilion ut the
foot of her noble knob, and there, as L
visited it last night, were gathered a score
or more Of pretty girls and gallant bea'lN,
making merry in the moonlight. The pro-
prietress informed me triumphantly that
they had beauX in excess of belles-for a
remarkable wonder at summer resorts.
Mrs Gilmore and family had just ar
rived from Richmond
The few dwellers in the village, who are
fond of life and know they will be long
time dead. hail with great pleasure iue
advent of these merry summer folk. They
enjoy the orchestra at Bel Air, and the
light and life that comes with summer
time.
The young people are very glad that SO
many pretty girls and gallant gentlemen
are swarming into Bel Air. For will there
rot be balls. tacky-parties driving-par-
ties and picnics, hay rides and escapades
galore?
Many pleasures are planned for August.
Driving parties will go to Roanoke, Red
Sulphur Springs, to Old Sweet Springs,
TO Fincastle to the famous Mountain Lake
aud 20 the many beautiful caves near New
castle.
There are sulphur springs within five
miles of the village; the strength Of which
compares favorably with the "Old White
And indeed these springs are the Older
White, for they were used many years
before the Greenbrier were known.
Among those at the hotel now are Col
onel Nash and two beautiful daughters,
of Norfolk; Mrs. Junkin and family, of
New Jersey, widow Of the great Presbyter-
ian divine, who died suddenly in May;
Mr. Franklin and family, of Richmond;
Mr. Gilmore and family, Of Richmond. and
many others.
Among the other visitors to Newcastle
are: Mr. and Mrs. McWane, of Lynchburg;
Miss Wall, Of Blacksburg; Miss Raglan and
Miss Sewers, of Outstanding: also Mrs.
Tom Raga1l-the latter three ladies are at

Twisting Ieo's Tail

The cage in the circus parade this morn
ing that was of special interest to the
crowds of youths who saw the parade was
that in which the big Numidian lion
makes his headquarters. During the
parade he was perched on top of his cage,
with keeper beside him to see that he
observed his company manners. AS the
procession passed Olsons, the king Of
beasts lay down and gracefully draped
some three or four feet of tall over the
side of his carriage The crowd Of young
sters following saw and accepted this as
a challenge. One boy jumped and grab
bed for the tassel at the enu OF his ma
iesty's fy-scarer Several others, to show
they had an equal amount OF nerve, did
likewise, until one, bolder than the rest,
broke the record, got his finger caught in
the tail and hung rather heavily for a
second That was enough for the lion,
who startled the people by series Of
mighty roars. The small boy withered.
Women pressed their babies closer to
them. Horses sat down to think it over.
ana strong men quailed. The lions
l1eeper was the coolest of them al, and
he calmly reminded his ward of the ell
uuette OF the occasion by a sharp cut
over the nose with his switch.
This seemed to appease the lord OF the
Jungle. for he lay down again, but was
careful to tuck lis tail up tight around
him. Minneapolis Journal
