Old Mems Picnic.

Last Saturday, September "a, 1904,
was the date of the S3rd anniversary OF
the birthday of David b. Mcconnell,
who makes his home with his son,
Frank A. Mcconnell at Franks Tavern
In this place, aud the event was cele-
brated by holding an old mems picnic
In Clark's grove on the farm of j. II.
Mcconnell near Brookville. The
threaten rain In the morning kept a
number Of old men away who had been
invited, however, goodly number at
tended the picnic and the old men
enjoyed the picnic immensely. Some Of
them declared it was the best time they
had ever had In their lives. At noon a
long table filled with an abundance of
good things was surrounded by lot Of
boys ranging from sixty to ninety years
of age, and they proved conclusively
that age does not always impair ap-
petites. After the table had been re-
lieved of part OF its burden, the
picnicers were called together and Hon.
Jerry q. Allen, OF Aliens Mills, was
elected to preside with all the men
present that were over so years old as
vice-presidents, and there were a good
ly number OF them. Speeches were
made by Archie Mccullough, of Beech
woods. DR.. Mcknight, W. A. Andrews
and Major John McMurray, of Brook
Vile. All over 60 years old had their
picture taken in group and all under
go years old had their picture taken in
another group.

occasion, Frank A. Mcconnell and
family, Ninian Cooper and James Nc
Fadden, of this place, drove to the
picnic In carriage Saturday morning.

A Question.

1t is Rousseau who puts to his reader
that curious question What he would
do If, by single act of the will, aud
without stirring from home, he could
make himself rich by killing an old
mandarin In China. In some form or
other that question comes up In every
life and it is to be feared the old man.
DARN does not always survive. The
all-pervading passion to get rich, and
the many questionable methods In
which wealth may be gained, leads TO
wonderfully subtle reasoning sometimes
to avoid the twinges OF a conscience that
will not be silenced. 1t is 80 easy and
convenient TO believe that what one
does not do with his own hand will not
be accounted to him for wrong. And
few there are who realize that "as q
man thinketh in his heart so is he"

Gave Address.

Last Wednesday morning at the
opening exercises Of the public schools,
Hon. S. b. Elliott gave an instructive
address on the culture of the pine tree.
He illustrated clearly how and where
the seeds are formed and how nature
has provided for their disposal. Mr..
Elliott is member of the State Forest
ry Commission and he explained the
work of the commission and the School
of Forestry which is located at Mt.
Alto. Boys may enter this school by
competitive examination, which, II
successful, will entitle them to free
scholarships. After having passed
through the three years course Of this
school, the state furnishes its graduates
with good lucrative positions. Mr.
Elliott urged the boys to think Of
forestry when choosing a profession OF
calling for life.

The Negro.

The status OF the negro in America
was never more clearly stated than by a
condemned negro murderer in Virginia
not long since. Asked II he had any de-
fense, he replied mo, presume that
| ought to be hung, but / have only to
say that in all my life no white man
ever tried to make me better than
was. Whenever got any money there
were plenty OF white men who would
sell me beer and whiskey, but none who
tried to influence me to be a good man."
1t is true. Americans have shed their
blood to establish this races equality,
but practically none regard the negro
as an equal. White men will use him,
buy his vote or deprive him Of it, as
suits the occasion, but, immediate use
past, they have no further interest in
his welfare.

Autumn Days in the Rockies.
BY VIM. II. Steele.
CONTINUED from last week

Wednesday afternoon another
camera crank and myself went on a
photographing tramp up the canyon.
We followed the railroad as far as
the falls, then, taking dim trail,
started up the the steep side of the
canyon towards one of the highest
peaks, the roar of the little cataract
behind us, growing fainter and
fainter, as we toiled up the rough
mountain side. The trail was lined
on each side with raspberry bushes
loaded with luscious ripe fruit. We
picked and ate until our stomachs
said enough. The raspberries
were not the only attraction, for
Beside the path hung trailing vine,
Pretty bluebells and columbine.
We began to wonder where the
trail was taking us when an abrupt
turn brought us out on a table-like
spur near the top. The view that
lay spread around and below us well
repaid the hours of toll up the steep
mountain Around us, ON all
sides, lowered the stupendous rocky
masses that form the western slope
of the Rockies. From the cliff side,
where we stood, stretched away to
the southwark the rugged, green
fringed walls of the canyon. the
tumbling river appearing and dis
appearing among the green like a
silver ribbon. Behind us, lay the
snow-capped peaks hidden in a
bank of dark clouds.
The world goes by comparisons,
and we did not realize how high we
were until we caught sight of a dark
speck down near the falls. Setting
up the camera, put on the telepho-
to lens, focused on the falls, and
the ground glass showed two anglers
about one-eighth of an inch tall.
The dav was ideal for camera
work and we made the most Of the
opportunity until the declining sun
and chill air, warned us that it was
time to move toward home.
1t was pretty dark in the thick
timber, but we made the descent

quite safe for this thing of driving
over a narrow road within foot Of
the edge, where the least mishap
woul precipitate us thousand feet
down the mountain, was new ex-
| perlence to us.
AT last, we reached the foot of
the mountain and made better time
over the open road, arriving home
with good appetite for an eight
o'clock supper.
While sitting around the big camp
fire after supper, it was agreed that
we would climb the Cliff on the
following day as it was to be our
last day in the Canyon. According
ly, we were all astir early and after
breakfast, sailed forth for the
climb,
About half way up we all began
to feel the grade and altitude several
Of Che party were breathing hard and
after some discussion, concluded to
turn back. Coming to level spot
on the topof ridge, we took good
breathing spell and enjoyed the
magnificent view up and down the
canon. From here up, the climb
was very steep and difficult. Our
progress was necessarily slow, as
every rock seemed to be dependent
upon the next for support, and to
lose one meant to start a small avail
anche down on those below us.
AS we neared the top, the trail
zigzagged back and forth among
big boulders and around the edge of
dizzy precipices. At one place we
passed through a cavern twenty feet
long, formed by two big fiat rocks,
set up edgewise.
On reaching the top, we FASTENED
to the sunny side out of the wind,
and, after short rest, began to look
for familiar land marks. Away to
the north we could plainly see
Longs Peak, l4,27l feet elevation
and said to be the most interesting
climb in the state. From the south,
white clouds were drifting up to-
wards us, covering all the landscape
in that direction, except the snow
capped crown of Pixies Peak. To
the west, Gray's Peak Hall and
