CAMPING IN THE ROCKIES.
Delights of the Evening Around the
Fire Described by an
Enthusiast.

About dusk you struggle in with trout
or game. The campkeeper lays aside
his mending or his repairing or his note
book and stirs up the cooking fire. The
smell of broiling and frying and boiling
arises in the air. By the dancing flames
of the campfire you eat your third dinner
for the day-in the mountains all meals
are dinners, and formidable. ones at that,
writes s. E. White, in THE Mountains :"
The curtain of blackness draws down
close. Through it shine stars, loom
mountains cold and mistlike in the
moon. You tell stories. You smoke
pipes. After a time the pleasant chill
creeps down from the eternal SHOWS.
Some one throws another handful OF
pine cones on the fire. Sleepily you pre-
| pare for bed. The pine cones fare up,
throwing their light in your eyes. You
turn over and wrap the soft wooden
blanket close about your chin. You
wink drowsily and at once you are
asleep.
Late in the night you awaken to find
your nose as cold as a dogs. You open
one eye. A few Goals mark where the
fire has been. The mist mountains have
drawn nearer, they seem to bend over
you in silent contemplation. The moon
is sailing high in the heavens. With q
sigh you draw the canvas trapaulin oveI
your head. Instantly it is morning.

The elephants tusk which is large

HER IMPRACTICAL

TO GET RID OF WRINKLES.
All Explanation Concerning Their
Formation and What Will Cor
rect Them in a Certain Degree.

One who would get rid of wrinkles
must first know what causes the wrin-
kles. There are little muscles attached
at one end to the points of the face,
and at the other end to the skin Of the
face. These little muscles pull the
face into all kinds of shapes, to make
it fit the mental state of the individual.
When a person is happy you know it;
for the corners of his mouth turn up
toward his ears, and make him look
happy. With the corners of the mouth
drawn down, the person looks sad.
1t takes only two or three lines to
indicate good nature or bad nature. II
you allow the corners of your mouth to
get drawn down, you cannot possibly
look happy; all the rest of the face is
drawn into a corresponding shape. So
if one wishes to be happy, all he has
to do is to keep the corners of his
mouth up.
Among these curious little muscles
attached to the different parts of the
face are some that are attached to the
edge of the nose and the edge of the
lip. We see some persons in whom
these muscles are so strong that they
keep that part of the face pulled out
of shape all the while. If one allows
those muscles to be exercised too often
and too strongly, they become too
strong for the rest of the face, and the
person looks scornful when he does not
necessarily feel that way at all.
To keep away ugly wrinkles n
must keep the right kind of expression
on the face. To get rid of them after
they are formed, one must cultivate
the opposite kind of wrinkles, must
smooth out the vertical wrinkles by
making transverse take their
place. Some wrinkles are not objec-
%tionable. One does not object to see
ing people with wrinkles on their face
that indicate a happy expression all
the while. 1t is these ugly looking
wrinkles that people are so anxious to
get rid of. So if one cultivates the
right kind of wrinkles, and keeps the
face pure and sweet altogether, ne is
doing all he needs to.

Committee.

industry cannot progress. Under our present system we are not turning
out such worknen. Take one of our strongest industries, the shoe trade,
as an example. A leading Boston merchant told me a few days since
that over 90 per cent. of the better grades OF shoes sold i'll this city are
manufactured outside of the state. Inquiry among manufacturers shows
that the better grades are not made in Massachusetts because the work
men are not trained up to the task.
1t is the same story in every line. We have been satisfied to drift
along, content when the returns showed that We were not going back
ward, and unmindful OF the fact that Our competitor states are doub-
ling and trebing their business in our special lines. Let us take the
experience of Germany as our guide in this matter. A few years ago
that nation was in exactly the same position that Massachusetts is to-
day. England and the United States were crowding her to the wall,
commercially. To-day the Germans are pushing out for trade in every
part of the world; a formidable competitor in our strongest lines of pro-
ducion. They have done this by systen1atized work and by providing
for the working classes a complete, carefully graduated system of in
dusrial education, deliberately organized for the promotion OF eff
cheney.
Every ambitious youth has the opportunity to be fortified with the
technical foundation which places a premium on competency and which
means independence to the individual and prosperity to the community.
With this, legislation is adjusted to hold the balance true between strict
and proper protection for the worker and promotion for industry, with
out the unnecessary iron-clad regua- ~
tons which are the handcaps of work
man and employers alike, and have In

Dad kicked his cameli in the ribs, butt 1t

and thought a minute, and told dad |

what l had got, and l thought if | got

they are only negroes. a little bleacned,
with red paint on their cheeks. If | was
going to marry an Egyptian woman, i
would take her to Norway, or up to-
wards the north pole, where it is night
all day, and you wouldn't realize that
you were married to a colored woman.
To be around among these Egyptians is
a good deal like having a pass behind
the scenes at the play of Ben Hur in New
York, only here the dark and dangerous
women are the real thing, instead OF
being white girls with black paint on.
We have just got back from the pyra-
mids, and dad is being treated for spinal
meningitis, on account of riding a camel.
| never tried harder to get dad to go
anywhere on the cars than did to get
him to go to the pyramids by rail, as a
millionaire should, but he said he al
going to break a camel to the saddle,
and then buy him and take him home
for a side show. So we went down to
the camel garage, and hired a camel for
dad, and four camels for the arabs and

jackass for me. There were automobiles
and carriages, and trolleys, and every
thing that we could have hired, and
been comfortable for the ten-mile ride,
but dad was mashed on the camel, and
he got it.
Well, sir, it was not one of these
worlds fair camels that lay down for
you to get on, and then got up on the
installment plan, and chuck you for
ward and aft, but a proud Egyptian
camel that stands up straight and
makes you climb up on a stepladder.
Dad got along up the camel's ribs,
when the stepladder fell, and he grabbed
hold of the hair on the two humps, and
the humps were loose and they Topped
over on the side, and it must have hurt
the camel's feelings to have his humps
pulled down, so he reached around his
head and took a mouthful out of the seat
of dads pants, and dad yelled to the
camel to let so, and the Arabs amputat-
ed the camel from dads trousers, and
pushed dad up on top with a bamboo
pole with a crotch in it, and when dad
got settled between the humps he said
Let 'er 60" and we started.
Dad could have had a camel with a
platform on top, and an awning, but he
insisted on taking his camel raw and
he sat there between those humps, his
trousers worked up towards his knees
showing his red socks and blue drawers
and his face got pale from sea sickness
and the red, white and blue colors made

We went out of town like a wild west
