which was Thursday, we got the auto mobile to the Grand Canyon.
 Friday we steamed up and took the auto out on Grand View Point. Chauf- teur Lippincott drove the thing to within six inches Of the rim with its own steam, and held it there while I took it's picture.
 Saturday morning before daylight Doyle, Chapman and myself drove over to Apex, sixteen miles from Grand View, and took the train for home. Everyone of us regretted that we would be unable to make the return trip from the Grand Canyon to Flagstaff, but the facts in the case were that Doyle was obliged to get back to Flagstaff in order to assist his wife in setting hen, and Chapman had to be in Los Angeles in time to prepare speech for the ban quet of the TypOthetae on Franklin's birthday, while in my own case it was absolutely imperative that be at home to pay some bills that had accumulated during my absence.
 Several days later Mir. LippincOtt made the return trip from the Grand View hotel to Flagstaff, sixty-seven miles, in seven hours.
 Without doubt an automobile line will be established next summer be. tween Flagstaff and the canyon. It is the best and in fact the only route for sightseers. The country is full of nat ural attractions, and the scenery and climate are superb.
 am still searching for the man that put up that sign, ''Six and three-eighths miles to the Grand Canyon" brt the chances are that if some one comes along and asks me to join a party to make an experimental trip in flying machine from Grubb's Corners to Pata- gonia I'll go; I'm just that foolish.

BriSht's Disease.

The largest sum ever paid for pre- scription chaoged hands in San Fran cisco, Aug. 20, 1901. The transfer in- volved in coin and stock SIP, 10000 and was paid by party of business men for a specific for Bright's Disease and Dia- betes, hitherto incurable diseases.
 They commenced the serious investi- gatiOn of the specific Nov. l5, 1900. They interviewed scores of the cured aud tried it out on it's merits by putting over three dozen cases on the treatment and watching them. They also got physicians to name chronic, incurable cases, and administered it with physi- sicians for judges. Up to Aug. p, eighty-seven per cent of the test cases were either we'll or progressing favor ably.
 There being but thirteen per cent of failures. the parties were satisfied and closed the transaction. The proceed iugs of the investigating committee and the clinical reports of the test cases were published and will be mailed free on application. Address John J.

tCit Out HUI hAuA to be so confoundedly exact about it., when he knew that 1t wasn't an inch less than twelve miles, with the chances better that it was about fourteen, made me exasperated. IresOlved right there to find the man who put up that sign il it took half lifetime, which is all and perhaps more than I've got left and kill him without mercy.
 didn't dare to stop. If stopped would fall asleep and get to dreaming about turkey and cranberry sauce again. "Six and three-eighths miles to the Grand Canyon" If that man had appeared there before me would have stopped long enough to have killed him at least. My tongue had swollen until it made a good big mOuthful, and my throat was cracking. tried to talk to myself, so as not to lose my voice. I wanted to be able to inquire the where- abOuts of that man when I got to Berry's.
 About 4 o'clock, after had covered about eighteen miles of that "Six and three-quarters miles to the Grand Cam yOn," noticed something moving at spot perhaps quarter of a mile away, in the bottom of little canyon. At first l thought it might be the man who put up that sign, and my heart leaped for joy. But after long look I made out the object to be big buck. He was paving something white on the ground. it was small patch of snow! climbed up the little canyon, sat down beside the snow aud ate up about two quarts of it. Then gathered up a lot more and filled all my pockets with it. That snow tasted better than the most delicious icecream ever ate. It was not very clean, for the deer had trampled it all over, but didn't mind that.
 An hour later, as looked ahead, l could see break in the trees. I was on the edge of a clearing Of some kind, anyhow, and the terrible monOtony and awful silence of the forest were to be broken at least. With renewed energy I wobbled On and came to little hill, beyond the summit of which there were no trees. Ihad grown to hate trees.
 Slowly crawled up the little hill and stood upon the crest. Then saw why there were no trees beyond the hill. Beyond the hill was the grandest, most awe-inspiring sight in all the world the Grand Canyon of Arizona.
 stood there upon the rim of that tremendous chasm and forgot who I was and what came there for. Before me lay the sublimest panorama in the world. Nature never made anything like it anywhere else. It is the great masterpiece, and as viewed it, and my eyes drank in the grandeur of the scene, I said to myself, "You better stand back a little further; you might fall in"
 Twenty minutes later was at the Grand View hotel and Landlord Berry was asking what wanted.
 "AIl I want is water and food and the address Of the man who put up the sign on Skinner's cabin," I said, mOdestly.
 They brought me little water and eau Of tomatoes, but the address they withheld. Possibly the man was 6 friend, or he may be the sole support Of a large family.
 That night about o'clock the relief expedition, consisting Of Landlord Berry and four-hOrse team, returned to the hotel on the rim, bringing Chaf- feur LippincOtt, Journalist Chapman ,..,A C.rtHa nAuta t.a cola
