The first annual sale and supper given
by the Kings Daug hters at Grange hall,
Thursday evening, Dec. 6, proved to be
success. Owing to the inciemency of
the weather, which made very bad
travelling, the attendance was not large.
All the articles were sold, however. The
proceeds amounted to S2S. The supper
was enjoyed by a good number residing
near. The baby show in the afternoon
was a feature. The prize for largest baby

oURAY AND BOX CANYON.
Imagine barrel with one stave re-
moved, and you have he environment of
Ouray. Mountains encircle it without
break on every side save one, leaving there
a narrow valley or opening rather,
through when the Denver and Rio
Grande railroad makes entrance and
exit. Some OF these mountains are red,
deep red, with waved or tiuted strata
beautiful beyond words, The Test are of The
usual color and appearance. On one side
where red mountain joins a gray one
the line is distinctly drawn; each side
keeps its individuality without fusion OF
elements.
In this bowl-shaped valley lies Ouray,
green gem with Incompatible setting.
AT this time the town wore gaa-day
appearance; societies paraded the streets,
bands brayed and rooms were at a pre-
MUM. We were all slowed away, how
ever, and thinking we had seen enough
for one day we left "Box Canyon, Ourss's
greatest curiosity, as starter for the
next morning and at half past seven,
before breakfast, made our way as oil
rected through a lumber yard, struck
trail Everything is up traii in Tins
country up n hillside where we found
hot water flowing from a rocky opening
and took a copious draft. IL Was 80 hot
we could scarcely hold the tin cup from
which we drank and we concluded there
must be a mighty cauldron underlying
this region for hot springs are not rare.
A few steps further and the yawning
walls of a remarkable tissue doomed before
us. These walls we're Followed into cav
ernous chambers and the stream which
must have followed them now frets its
noisy way far below. A walk OF narrow
planks with wide spaces which make one
giddy leads up into the bowels OF the
canyon and clings closely to its walls.
Soon it became necessary to stoop under
an overhanglng cliff, and looking through
the timbers that support and brace the
walk one sees ladders against stark, wet
wall, ladders far off and perpendicular,
and suggestive OF some inferno where
devils dwell and imps OF darkness go up
and down.
Finding the walk growing narrower,
and the gulf over which we hung more
abysmal as seen through the spaces, l
was about to reIinquish further progress,
when young man just in advance ex-
tended his strong hand and went with
me along the narrow way to a nearly
circular opening in the walls which here
came together and looking through this
opening we saw vast rotanda OF sullen
rock with immensely OF height and depth,
and from the invisible height mass of
water fell with deafening roar into the
invisible depth. We gazed and gszed
with wonder and awe upon the mystic
rious chamber and cataract, into which
the sunlight never falls. 1t is a MASTER
piece.
The strong hand then took me back to
the wider walk where help was no longer
needed-"So shines good deed in
naughty world" But for that timely as
sistance a revelation of undreamed OF

majesty and beauty in this vertable Won
dersnd would have escaped me.
One needs to see these marvels more
than once to grasp and retain them in de.
tail. Beauty OF coloring and OF form,
vastness OF extent and immensely of
proportion, toget her with infinite variety
in the expression OF these qualities, form
an ensemble too bewildering for the
average oniooker. Only the salient
points-those that leap into prominence
and impress themselves indeIibly upon
the memory-can be recalled with accu-
racy; the indescribabl whole evades
and battles the tongue or pen that at
tempts to portray it.

Mr.. John Drake, Of Chapel

experience, and II / desired she would
introduce me.
We found Mr.. Stewart splitting wood
by the back door, a small, wiry man with
kind face and keen black eye. Learning
that 1t was my desire to go in his coach,
the honor was gracefully conceded, aud
that perplexing matter being settled, re-
turned to watch proceedings again, aud
found that Mr.. Stewart drove the leading
coach with six horses! 1t is always pleas
ant to be in the van, and to be there with
Mr.. Stewart and six foaming steeds! The
animals being securely harnessed at last,
and the brakes we'll looked to. we climbed
into our places-iiterally climbed, there
being no doors, and once in 1t would be
difficult to get out. Some, among them
two women, found seats upon the tops OF
their respective conveyances, the trunks
strapped on behind, and the cavalcade
started down the mountain.
MOUNTAIN ROAD
Winding in easy loops and curves, the
descent was at no time precipitous, but
tremendous slopes away from the road
were frequent, and AZ the top OF our
clumsy vehicle swayed and lurched In q
threatening manner. the sit uation was
often trying to weak nerves. The women
inside concluded they wouldn't be up
there for any consideration; but the
woman who was there IA Chicago woman)
never batted an eye. Her husband after
wsrd said she was all the way much less
moved than he. After what appeared TO
be six or eight miles OF this travel we
pulled up at Ironton, and learned that we
had traversed only four miles oil the twelve
betw Red mountain and Ouray.
Like Red mountain, Ironton is deserted
as a mining town, but retains postolnce'
and is gaining ground as summer resort.
1t boasts school OF seven pupils, the
teacher receiving salary OF sso per
month. Everywhere the blight which
fell upon the mining industry when SILVER
deprecated is painfully apparent. Ihou-
sands OF pillars worth OF machinery lies
idle and rusting; mills are silent and
saloons closed. When saloons shut up,
you may know a mining town is dead.
Two men who occupied the back seat OF
our coach, and had evidently fortified
themselves before the start with some
thing stronger than tea, but nevertheless
civil and quiet, and evidently familiar with
the road, gave US much information con-
corning the locality. They said there was
nothing coming more trying than the
part already traversed! At this point the
driver came back to drive fresh block OF
wood into the brake, and upon being
questioned on this point said: SWELL
there's places that loot just as bad" This
was non committal, but we realized lts
force later on.
From Ironton we proceeded along a
valley, mountains on every hand most Oh
them showing prospect holes, or mines
that had been largely worked. Once the
openings were SO numerous as to resemo'e
the portfolios of battleship. Deep tarns
appeared beside the road, stained WIN

ooze from mineral depOsits-some blue,

mahogany hue cleaned through more
shallow waters.
A DIZZY RIDE.
Soon we were said to be approaching
",he canyon, aud just alead We could
see its grim walls looming up sheer preci-
pices, along the edge OF which we we're
presently bowling careiessly,it seemed, hut
we knew Mr.. Stewart held the reins. The
road, marvel Of engineering enterprise,
wound like IA thread around bold noun
tain promontories thrust out over the
gulf. When turning into the hoilows or
bays Of the mountains, where the road
windehed somewh hat and the inward
curve gave greater sense OF security, we
would brace up a little and take breath,
but when We swung outward again and
the near horse Of the leading pair seemed
to be tiinging his feet over the edge we
could only gasp and experience an awful
sense OF helplessness. The woman on top
never nincbed. for we could see her feet,
and they expressed a absolute calm.
An Old lady from Worcester, Mass,
who WAS making the trip with her son,
told me, .sfier the ball was over" that
he prayed all the time, and then didn't
feel bit comfortable. Our friends on
the back seat enlivened the particularly
periIous looking places with such pleas
antries as-"Here's good place to COM
init suicide" III we should roll off here
there wouldn't be enough OF us left to
gather up"
Once the stage stopped on massive
bridge that spanned lateral chasm down
W hich aped a torrent. By climbing out,
going along the road short distance, and
leaning gingerly over some large rocks
left at that point, perhaps for that pur-
pose, We could see the torrent as 1t made
it's final leap into the depths OF the can
yon. These were the only rocks - the
only obstacle of any kind on the edge OF
the road for its entire length. Accidents
are rare. They tell OF one woman who
Jumped to her death because the horses
behind which she rode were frightened
and FESTIVE. 1t must have been private
team, for the stage horses know their
business and attend to 1t strictly, and it is
owing, per haps, to their training and in
telIigence that SO few accidents occur.
The Chicago woman on the top of our
coach said, subsequent to the ride, that 1t
was an inspiration to watch our driver
handle the reins; adding that she felt en-
tire confidence when he first took them
up, and it never deserted her. We inside
lacked this inspiration, and could only
relieve the tension by looking the other
way, when our eyes usually met rocky
wall close on the right. How could we
say: 81 will lift up mine eyes unto the
hills from whence ,ometh my help"
when those same everlasting hills seemed
conspiring to push US into the abyss.
At one point bank OF snow still held
the fort far down the depths, although
Colorado sun was reflected with power
from the rocky walls around us. Finally
these walls lost mething OF their savag-
ery and we rolled into Ouray, having
descended 1000 feet in twelve miles. Our
ride was over, and all was well. Thought

DANGER IN IT.

Don't neglect bad back,
It's the kidneys cry for help.
A lame, leak or an aching back,
A stitching, twltching or painful back
Is a bad back.
Most backache pains are Kidney pains.
The sharp, quick twinges,
The slow, exhaustive aches,
Are early symptoms of Kidney ills.
If you don't relieve the aching back,
Allow the Kidneys to be overworked,
Serious troubles are sure to follow
Urinary complications,

Who knows but that Thomas Jeffer-

the Irishman's book? Molyneux's SEN
timents created great sensation in
England and the British parliament
condemned the book as revolutionary
and ordered it to be burned by the COM
mon hangman. If Molyneux had not
died shortly after the appearance OF his
work he might have been committed to
the tender mercies of the hangnlan or
eXpiated for his ''atrocious crime" by a
term in the penitentiary. But we have
no desire to detract from the glory and
fame of Thomas Jefferson who gave to
the world the grand declaration OF in

lrisllnan's words, but whether he did or
not he certainly repeats them in sub
stance.
