our train stopped at South Platte

This is where the north and the

a junction, and is an ideal anglers
resort, as either branch of the river
can be fished from here.
From South Platte Station the
railroad follows the north fork Of the
Platte, and the higher the painting

moved away from the station, ] no
ticed the twinkling of lights among
the thick growth of blue spruce
away up on the mountain side, and
the mystery was explained. There
was the home of the summer cot
tagers, one above another, in mid
air like a colony of wasps~
The next stop was at Pine Grove,
a typical mountain village, with
several stores, a hotel, a church and
a number of neat houses.
At eight o'clockP. NJ, the brake
man called "Cliff" and our delightful
days ride of four hundred and fifty
miles was ended. You will note a
peculiar characteristic with every
mountain stream, that, i'll flowing
through the narrow valleys, ii never
follows the middle, but invariably
hugs the higher and sleeper bank
for a distance until the cliffs rise on
the opposite side, when it crosses
over to keep company with its more
imposing friend.
The Cliff cottages are built in a
bend of the river where the stream
winds around the base of Cliff Rock
leaving piece of bench land on the
mountain side just large enough for
the half dozen tiny cottages.
AS we stepped off the train, the
moon was just appearing over the
cliff across the river, and the scene
was an enchanting one to us. Clouds
We're lowering about the mountains,
wantonly descending, then lifting
and floating across the canyon and
through the tree tops. The river,
fresh from the eternal SHOWS, went
tanbling and foamine over the
rocks, the pines whispered in the
breeze, and lent their soothing fra

We retired at all early hour and
slept well until awakened by the
welcome call Of breakfast"
Our first two days were passed
very quietly, fishing the nearby
trout pools, strolling over the noun
tains, gathering flowers, berries,
and specimens and getting acquaint-
ed with our fellow-tourists. The
third morning, while eating break
fast, we questioned as to what we
would do for the day, go up the
river for trout, go over the noun
tains, visit the mines or go fishing.
We could not decide on a route that
suited all, so divided up into three
parties for the day. Several of the
gentlemen took a lunch and walked
up to the Cooper King" mines.
The ladies went for stroll over the
mountain, west of the cottages.

AS l neared home in the early
twilight, | saw Denver angler
dressing a catch of twenty trout on
a big fiat rock beside the stream.
Upon inquiring where he caught
them, he replied, between here and
Crosson's. This was the very
water had fished over so carefully
just about two hours ahead of him,
which proved to me that there were
plenty of trout in the stream that
could be caught at the proper time,
with the proper bait, by one who
knew how.

ings spent rowing on Lake Madison.
But most distinct in all these men,
cries, are those Autumns spent in
the mountains with congenial
party. We lived out doors, noun
tain climbing, photographing and
fishing.
For weeks we had felt the symp-
toms of mountain fever and had
begun to wonder what autumn days
were like in the Rockies. and if the
trout were biting in the mountain
streams. We talked and planned so
much that our thoughts were lmore
toward, and with, the great range
of mountains to the westward than
with the ordinary things about us.
AT last, all arrangements were
complete, and a bright September
morning found our party aboard the
wcst-bound train on the Burlington
& Missouri Railroad, hurrying across
southern Nebraska at fifty mile
gait.
The green fields of alfalfa, golden
harvest, ripening corn, and great
herds of cattle along the Republic
can Valley, slipped by us as we sped
on toward Denver.
just after leaving Fort Morgan,
the long train swung gracefully
around curve bringing into view
that mighty procession of giant
peaks which forms the Front Range
of the Rocky Mountains.-over an
hundred miles away. When first
seen, the mountain range could
hardly be distinguished from the
clouds that hung around the high
peaks.

to the Union Station, at Denver, and

Twenty miles from Denver we left

Autumn Days in the Rockies.

The happiest time in mans life
is when he reaches that point in
mature manhood which divides life
in two chapters; the first, is the ac-
tual living and looking forward; the
other the retrospective chapter Of
life-looking backward and living
over, in infancy, the sunny days Of
the past. There is something about
the first blustery days of winter that
turns our thoughts backward to the
warm days of summer, and to live

Condition of. Cattle Market.

Condition Of Cattle Market. :
Chicago, Nov. 7.-Receipts of west
ern range cattle for the month OF
October were 100.5O0 head. against
$500 in September and 1880 for the
month Of October last year. The total
for the year to date is 207, 800 head,
against 10000 fol-. the corresponding
period last year. During the, month
prices for most Of the offerings were
disappointing. This was chiefly be.
cause the quality was so remarkably
poor. Buyers were willing TO pay good
prices for the best kinds. as was evl.
denced by the fact that several loads
during the month brought $500 10
$5.35, which were sold by >Rappal
Brothers & Co. The great bulk of the
receipts, however, changed hands at
1926 to 1915, and there were many
thin cattle that sold down. to $500. A
good many range COWS sold at $3.50
to $3.50 and prices were comparatively
low There is desire to rush in as
many cattle as possible before tie
weather cuts off shipments; and lately
the market has been heavily supplied.
If weather conditions are so ranchmeh
can. continue to ship freely, it is ex-
pected that November receipts will
be larger than usual, and as there is
a great scarcity of corn-fed natives,
good range cattle will undoubtedly
command high premiums.

Snakes In the Water.

All reptiles swim. Almost all snakes
move through the water with as much
ease and rapidity as on land. Rattle
snakes, for example, are much given
to swimming in placid water if it is
not too cold. In the everglade lakes of
Florida they may be often seen. It is
well to know that to attack from
boat poisonous snake in the water is
q much more dangerous proceeding
than to attack the snake Oh land. The
reason is that the reptile will immedi-
ately make for the boat, since it must
have solid base from which to strike.
It half leaps and half climbs into the
craft, and there is fight at uncom-
fortably close quarters.-Success.

Each respectively is point of pill
