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

About duskyyeu struggle in with trout
or game. The eampkeeper lays aside
his mending orhis repairing or his note
hook 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. +. White, in The Mountains"
The curtain of blackness draws down
close. Through 1t shine stars, loom
mountains cold and mistlike in the
moon. You tell stories. You smoke
pipes. After 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 flare 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 dogs. You opel,
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
sigh you draw the canvas trapaulin over
your head. Instantly 1t is morning.

the stampeded caravan did. I saw car

in ten minutes l was at the base OF
the big pyramid, and the camel with dad
on between the humps, was humping
himself half mile away, trying to get
there, and the other camels, with the
Arabs, were stretched out like horses
in race, behind, and my jackass was
right next to dads camel, braying and
occasionally kicking dads camel in the
stats. 49,
There were about hundred tourists
looking towards the stampede Of the
camels. and told them my dad, the
great American millionaire, was on the
runaway camel in advance, and asked
them to form line across the trail and
save dad but when the camel came near
er was ashamed of dad. He had his
arms around the the front hump of the
camel. and he was yelling for help to
stop his menagerie, and his legs were
flying in the air, and every time they
came down they kicked hole in the side
OF the camel
Well. sir. thought dad was brave
man, but he blatted like calf, and when
the camel stopped and went to eating
clump of grass dad opened his eyes, and
when he saw that the procession had

bag Of wheat, and stuck in the sand and
began to say prayer. but when he saw
me standing there. laughing. he stopped
praying. and said to me: Il thought you
were blown up when that jackass kicked
the can of dynamite. You have more
lives than cat. Now, get a hustle on
you and We will climb that pyramid and
then quit this blasted country" and dad
sat down on hummock and began to
pull himself together. after the most
fearful ride he ever had. He said the

The struggle of foreigners who
have put their faith in dictionaries to
account for English as she Is spoke"
In New York are sometimes funny,
says the Times. An educated young
Italian asked an American who spoke
his language why the dictionaries were
so badly made.
There are two expressions which
hear constantly" he said, "and neither
of them Is in any dictionary have
looked into They are 'ahbetchu' and
'idono'"
His American friend pondered for a
season. and then. with cheerful smile,
told him that "ahbetchu" stood for II
bet you" and "idono" was short for
Il don't know"
"But why" said the Italian, when
person is leaving. do you call saloon
after him? I cant understand 1t. l
thought at first 1t was joke. to insin-
uate that was going to saloon. But
they call 1t after women. too

American. "is simply so long, that Is

didn't tear were worn on on the stones,
SO when he showed up in front of the
spinks he was sight, and he bought a

wound 1t around him In place of pants.
was ashamed Of dad myself. and 1t Is
pretty hard to make me ashamed.
We went back to Cairo on the cars. and
what do you think, that dead camel that
the Arabs made dad pay for was with
the caravan going back to town, cause
we saw him out of the car window with
the hair wore on where dad kicked him
In the side. The tourists say the Arabs
have that camel trained to die every day
when they get to the pyramids, and they
make some tenderfoot pay for him at the
end of each journey. Dad is going to try
to get his money back from the Egyp-
tian government, but guess he will
never realize on his claim.
Well, sir, after dad had doctored all
night to get the camel rheumatism and
spinal meningitis out OF his system, we
took a trip by boat on the Nile, and saw
the banks where the people grow crops
by irrigation, and where an English
syndicate has built big. dam, SO the
whole valley can be irrigated, and tell
you II VIII not be long before Egypt will
raise everything used in the world on
that desert, and every other country
that raises food to sell will be busted up
in business, but II is disgusting to take
trip on the Nile, cause all the natives
are dirty and sick with contagious dis
easss, and they are lazy and cripp1ed,l
and beg for living and II you don't give
them something they steal all you got.
You are in luck II you get away without
having leprosy, or the plague, or cho,-
era, or fieas.
So we went back to Cairo. and there
was the worst commotion you ever saw.
about my fireworks in the tomb. The
papers said that an American dynamiter
had attempted to blow up the great pyr-
amid. and take possession of the country
and place II under the American flag.
and that the conspirators were spotted
and would be arrested and put in irons
as soon as they got back from trip on
the Nile.
Well. sir dad found his career would
close right here. and that he would prob
ably spend the balance of his life in an
Egyptian prison If we didn't get out, SO
we made sneak and got into our hotel
and bought DISCUSSES and are going to
get out OF here tonight. and try to get
to Gibraltar, or somewhere in sight OF
home, Dad is disguised as shiek. with
whiskers and white robe. like bath
robe, and am going to travel with him
as an Egyptian girl till we get through

and when one hump was not jamming
him in the back the other hump was
kicking him in the stomach, and IL he
had gun he would shoot the camel, and
the Arabs, and bust up the show.
BY the time dad got SO he could stand
UP without leaning against pyramid
the Arabs came up and they all talked
at once, and drew knives, and 1t seemed
as though they were blaming dad for
something We found an interpreter
among the tourists. and he talked with
the Arabs. and pointing to the camel dad
had ridden, which was stretched out on
the sand like he was dead. he told dad
the Arabs wanted him to pay for the
camel he had ridden to death, and foun-
dered by letting 1t drink wagon load of
water, and then entered in race across
the desert, and the interpreter said dad
better pay. or they would kill him.
Dad settled for the camel for hun
dred dollars, and a promise of the skin
OF the camel, which he was going to take
home and have stuffed. Their man

peace had dad arrested for driving off
Of a walk, and he was fined $40 and costs
for that. and then all the Arabs struck
him for money for one thing and an
other, and when he had settled all
around and paid extra for not riding
back to Cairo on the Gael. we got
ready to climb up the pyramid. Dad
said he wouldn't ride that camel back
TO Cairo for million dollars. for he was
split up so his legs began where his arms
left OF, and he was lame from Genesis
10 Revelations.
But never saw such lot OF people to
pray as these pirates arc. Just before
they rob a man they get down on their
knees on rug. and humble something
to some god. and after they have got you
robbed good and plenty. they get down
and pray. while they are conceaIlng the
money they took from you. Gee, but
when | get home am going to steer
the train robbers and burglars onto the

Well. told dad he hadn't better try to

when got up to the top would fire a

down stairs, until finally we got into
big room that smelled like morgue,
with bats and evil looking things all
around, and felt creepy
The guides got down on their knees to

my last roman candle and fire my last
giant firecracker right there in that mos
eleum, and take the chances that we
would get out alive. So when the tour
lists were lined up beside tomb of some
Rameses or other, and the guides were
praying for strength and endurance,
probably, to get away with all the mon
ey we had. picked out place up toward
the roof that seemed full of bats and
birds of i'll omen, and sneaked my
Oman candle out from under my shirt,
and touched the fuse to candle on the
turban of guide who was on his knees.
and just as the first fire ball was ready
to come out yelled: 'Whoop-la-much-
wano, e pluribus unum," and the fire
balls lighted up the gloom and Knocked
the bats gally west.
Holy jumping cats, but you ought to
have seen the guides. yelling Allah!

the bats were flying around in the faces
of the tourists, and everybody was SIM
ply scared out of their boots. thought
| might as we'll wind the thing up glo-
