Presently what should Billy Goose

day was one of the most enjoy able
affairs imaginable There were no
accidents and the excursionists re-
turned home delighted with their days
outing in the hills. The train left here
in two sections. containing nine coaches
and baggage car, shortly after s
O'Clock carrying $50 passengers and
reached Alta Vista about two hours
later where halt OF half an hour was
made for the purpose of allowing the
excursionists to enjoy the magnificent
mountain scenery which unfolds itself
upon the vision at that point. At the
conclusion Of the stay at Alta Vista

where the picnic was held. The first
section OF the train reached Canon on
the return trip about 8 80 and the
second one little after 8 O'Clock.

with signs of embarrassing declarations. 1t all

American history and after of fare the Demo-
cratic party was united

When the managing editor of the

breakfast one morning and looked for
the weather report he found in it's
place modest notice stating that the
circulation Of the News was the largest
Of any paper in the city. Now, this
fact was interesting to the managing
editor, but it was not what he wanted
to read. He was looking for the proph-
ecy of the weather bureau which was
telegraphed each night from a neigh
boring city.

steak to grow cold while he searched

The fifteen century pilgrim, Felix
>Fabri, gave the following quaint de-
scription of the camel:
"a camel has a small head and is
without horns. 1t has big and terrible
eyes and always seems sorrowful and
troubled animal It's eyes are like
fire beacons, and big reflections shine
in them, for whatever a camel looks at
seems great and huge to it, wherefore
it seems to view everything with won
der and alarm. When, therefore, a
man goes up to it the beast begins to
tremble, so that the man perceives that
the beast trembles because the man
coming toward it seems to it to be four
times bigger than he really is. Had
not God so ordered it this animal would
not be SO tame and orderly as it Is.
When it screams, being In trouble, 1t
opens its mouth, shakes its head and
raises up its long neck, wagging It to
and fro, so that man who Is not ac-
customed to it is disturbed and fright
ened."
