it isl" I looked about and could see
nothing. While my attention was thus
| diverted the young man disappeared.
Where had he gone? Had he commit
ted suicide? I looked over the preci-
pice, but could neither see his falling
body nor his mang1ed remains at the
foot of the cliff Where was he? While
L was thus puzzling heard voice:
F'You come!"
But where? Again I looked down,
and this time the young mans head APP
peared from recess in the face of the
cliff, and, pointing to a fringe of rock
that stood out a little way from the
dangerous precipice, he suggested that
l step upon that. I don't think l am
very cowardly at such places, but this
was more than l dared to risk. That
2,000 feet drop seemed too far down, so,
tying one of the stout ropes around me,
had the men above hang on to it while
I was lowered to the rocky fringe.
And there, sheltered under the over
hanging rock, was the long-sought
shrine. There may have been other
white men who have seen it before me,
but I never heard of them. Thirteen
wooden figures, carved from cedar
with the rude stone or flint knives of
a primitive Indian people, stood in
line, reared against the wall in this
cunningly hidden retreat. An army
might seek for it in vain. I doubt
whether I could myself find it again.
Yet l had my photographer come and
make photograph of it, and then,
though with much difficulty, finally
prevailed upon my guides to permit me
to take away two of the figures, and,
should any of my readers ever visit
Pasadena, Cal, where my home is,
shall be glad to show them the first and
fifth images (from the left) which

Cholera is not only prompted by a

This can be given in feed in doses of a

WIRE FENCING BEST.
1t Is Not Excessive In Cost in the Fsr.s
Place and Is Easily Kept in
Good shape.

The advantage possessed by the
WIRE fence over the oid-fashioned rail
and board fence is great. The old fences
took up vast amount of room and
were the harboring places of all kinds
OF insects and weed enemies. Often the
amount of land kept out of cultiva-
ton by the big sprawling fences was
a large per cent. of the best land. The
weed seeds collected there every fall,
and the weeds sprung up thickly every
spring and at seed time sent their
myriads of embryonic plants over the
heidS 20 spring up in turn in the
sown field and harass the husband
men. These weeds by the fence were
always we'll nurtured, for the SHOWS
collected over them and in melting in
creased the fertility around their
roots. Often they received more
needed moisture than the valuable
plants in the open field, and so were
the more ready to take the lead of the
procession. With the advent of the
wire fence the weeds got a backset.
The scythe could run right under the
wires and the weeds found them
selves assailed on both tanks. The
snow does not accumulate much in
the protection of fence wire, and
the weeds that remained got no ex-
ira coddling from that source.
The man that has first-class and
well-built wire fence has something
that will remain with him for years.
There is no necessity of an annual
campaign to put it in shape, as there
used to be with the board fence. When
a heavy gale comes the farmer does
not have to go out in the morning and
begin the task of Fighting half a mile
of fence boards and posts. The old
board fence disigured the farm, for it
was too extensive to keep white
washed. Every mishap increased the
disfguration. Not so the wire fence.
The gale comes and it stands. The
rain and ice come and it bears up I'M
der them. If by any chance a wire is
bfOken the fact does not cause a dis
figurement to the general whole Al
together the wire fence is in every
sense the modern fence, and its pres
ence denotes progress.-Farmers' Re
