the Merced river is dancing along.
Now and again a bird would whisk by
and dart down to its paradise.
Leaving aching ribs, fatigue and all
care behind, with dash and a crack
of the whip we made a dramatic en-
trance into the valley. On all sides
fragrant wild flowers, unknown to
eastern people, rare to the botanist,
met the eye, and the hum of bees be-
came musical as we drove along and
passed Bridal Veil falls. which in the
early afternoon sun played before us
as sparkling as a cascade of diamonds.
The cool spray famed our dust-cov-
cred faces and entered our nostrils
to refresh us. On we continued to be
brought face to face with mighty Ell

were in the midst of pastoral serenity.
Before sunrise on the second day
after our arrival we drove to Mirror

are happily named, for the waters of
the Vernal and the Nevada falls con-

about and around these sequestered
fairy haunts. Here at the bridge over

mounted for the trail leading to the

The falls-that water falls, l mean
of the Yosemite are of extraordinary
beauty. In the Yellowstone park there
are two, the upper falls and the lower
falls, and magnificent they are. In
the Grand canyon of the Colorado
there are none in sight, but here in
the Yosemite are a half-dozen of the
most beautiful falls in the world. The
four great falls OF the Yosemite are
the Bridal Veil, Yosemite, Vernal and
Nevada. Beside these are the Ribbon,
Sentinel, Royal Arch and Illilouet, and
the famous cascades.

For Beauty.

A vegetarian writer says: zone Of
the most wholesome and nutritious
articles of diet is olive oil and it is
as beneficial for external as for inter.
nal use. 1t was the custom of the an.
clients, who were most luxurious in
their bathing habits, to anoint the
body with vegetable oils after the
bath. Athletes and gladiators also
anointed their bodies with oils. Ro-
man athletes were in the habit of
using the freshly expressed oil of the
olive to give agility and suppleness
to the limbs. Some of the greatest
beauties of whom history tells have
also been prone to use the. .oil.'

ST. JACOBS OIL.

In cases where bronchitis has be-

treatment in the earlier stages, there
is nothing so good as DR.. August
Koenig's Hamburg Breast Tea, in con-
junction with which is strongly ad-
vised the use of st. Jacobs Oil as an
outward application along the front of
the throat, from close up under the
chin to well down to the top of the
chest; the one remedy assists the
other and as intended, they work in
complete unison. The wonderful PEN

bles it to reach the adhesion of for

tubes and which makes breathing
more and more difficult. AS these ad-

to break away, making expectoration

Remarkable Natural Beauty of the Yosemite Valey-Gems
Of Landscape and Sparkling Waterfalls Meet
the Eye on Every Side.
Especial Correspondence

To feel that one has passed from
life and has entered paradise is a
strong emotion. Such an emotion l
experienced when from Inspiration
point l had my first glimpse of Yose-
mite valley
Unlike the Grand canyon of the
Colorado river, the Yosemite is at
once comprehensive. 1t is about
eight miles in length and one mile in
width walled on all sides by mag
nificent cliffs, ranging in height from
1900 to 5000 feet, and over these
cliffs leap numerous magnificent
waterfalls that rush along to meet the
merry Merced river, dancing to its
own sweet music through the heart of
the valley. At sight of it all the mind
is not disturbed, but soothed-a joy
comes over one as if beautiful dream
had been realized. The first impulse
is to live-to live with God in the
open. Confronted by such majesty
such beauty in nature-art, philosophy
and science stand aside to let religion
lead while one reflects on the trinity
God, Nature Man.
OF the different roads leading to the
valley l took what is known as the
RaymondWawona route, which takes
one near the Mariposa grove of big
trees. The first day out one rides
some forty-six miles by stage, and
with the exception of fifteen or twenty
miles of oiled road, plenty of dust is
in evidence. However firing the ride
may be, and firing it is, while riding
over the mountains one has pretty
glimpses of the surrounding wooded
country The halt for the night is at
Wawona, the Indian name for big
tree" a delightful spot, nesting in a
little valley through which rushes a
fork of the Merced river with its fine
trout. Here near Wawona are en-
camped the soldiers that patrol the
Yosemite National park. The park
surrounds the valley and is under the
control of the national government,
while the Yosemite valley is under
state control. 1t may be of interest
to note that the Yosemite National
park is thirty-six miles in length and
forty eight miles in width, so it will
be seen that Yosemite valley is well
protected.
From Wawona to Yosemite is
twenty-six miles, so from the nearest
railroad the ride is seventy-two miles
by stage into the valley. Most of it
is verify a mountainous road. When
the horses dash down a cobble-strewn
grade or turn sharp bend as the
stage driver cracks his whip, there
are some aching ribs, some oh-ing and
some ah-ing, and one is reminded of
real old-fashioned staging. Unlike
the staging in the Yellowstone park,
the horses are changed here about
every nine miles, so a pretty brisk
gait is kept up most of the way into
the Yosemite. In fact, it is too brisk,
too exhilarating for some people. We
were fatigued, almost asleep, when
the driver said that Inspiration point
was near az land, yet no one spoke
1t was too great an effort after all
the iolting. Suddenly the view broke
before us. 1t was remarkable how
quickly we woke up, and it was then
that l experienced that mighty thrill.
Everyone has seen pictures of the
Yosemite, but the Yosemite cannot be

AUTCMOBILE OUTING
SEATTLE TO SAN FRANCISCO.
Successful Thousano-MiIe Trip Over
Roug1 Roads = George Carmack

Novel Rice.

and siis Wife Happy After the
Novel Rice.
George Carmack, the man who discov-
cred the Klondike in 1896, has just COM
pleted the longest and most difficult
automobile trip on record. Carmack,
accompanied by his wife, arrived in San
Francisco the other night from Seattle,
safe, sound and happy, and neither they
nor the machine showed any effects of
the long trip other than from exposure
to sun and wind, says the San Francis
co Chronicle.
Not an accident of any kind happened
although the cycle meter showed a run
of 9SSA miles, and if there was a road
map it would show that the machine
went where a two-horse team could
not take wagon.
Mrs. Carmack is as enthusiastic an
automobilist as is her husband. She
laughs often as she talks of their tour
and is as technical in her language as
the builder of the machine could be-
She knows the machine thoroughly and
says it is not strange that she does, for
they lived in it for a month. The trip
was an outing. They carried their own
tent and provisions and ate and camped
along the road wherever fancy took
them. They left Seattle on August 81,
but Carmack says they were really
travelling only about twenty days.
They were not out for records, and the
highest daily runs were not more than
sixty-five miles.
Some of the grades were so heavy"
Carmack said, that the automobile slid
down without the wheels moving. l put
on the brake, reversed the lever and
turned the power on so that we simply
had to slide down. The machine weighs
a ton itself, and we had 200 pounds of
luggage, about 200 pounds of water, 100
pounds of gasoline and ourselves, so
you can guess how steep the road was"

LETTER TOE. WEIGH.

Dear Sir: When you build house you want
a good paint next the wood-it goes a long
way in taking care of the wool. The paint
that has the best chance to be useful is this
first coats first two coats: first three coats
The first takes care of the wood; the second
takes care of the first the third takes care of
the two. All three become one; and that one
is to last forever. Forever" means as long
as the house lasts. The way to make the
first painting last, as long as the house, is to
follow it up with repainting often enough.
How often? Depends on the paint. Re-
paint while the paint is still waterproof. All
the wear is outside; there is no wear on the
under paint. This is how first painting lasts
forever: by keeping it covered: keeping it
sound And this is the cheapest way to take
care of house. But how often you paint de.
Ponds on your paint. If you paint lead and
oil, paint again in three ears or less; il De-
voc lead and zinc, paint again in three years
or more.
That "less" and "more" are about as one to
two. Devoe lead and zinc takes care of q
house at half cost, because it lasts twice as
long as lead and oil.
Yours truly,
IL F. w. DEvoE & Co.

Now Is the Time to Go Hunting in the
Maine Woods.

The hunting season has set in, and
the sportsman who desires to follow
in the chase during the next month
or so will no doubt shape his course
towards the Maine woods.
Leaving the Union Station, Boston
& Maine Railroad, he can reach any
section of the pine tree forests. He
can journey to the Rangely region, or
farther north to Moosehead or Katah-
din; he can strike into Washington
county, or away to the forest lands of
New Brunswick and Newfoundland.
He can traverse country completely
run with deer from the southern boun-
dairy Of Maine to the Canada line.
In the Washington County, the
Aroostook, Dead River and northern
portions of Maine, moose enough to
satisfy the most eager huntsman can
be found. Penetrating into New
Brunswick and the thick iungles of
Newfoundland, vast herds of moose
and caribou will be found roaming
about.
If you are contemplating trip into
the Maine Woods or sections further
on, send atwo- cent stamp to the Gen.
eral Passenger Department, Boston &
Maine Railroad, Boston, for their de-
scriptive book Fishing and Hunting. -
1t describes the game territory in full
and also contains map of the game
region of Maine.
