Kentucky and Virginia Inside the
cave are great many stalagmiies and
staiactitcs, some OF them of rare at
tractivencss and beauty.
Grape Creek Canon is an interesting
one and is well worth visit from
strangers. A drive over the State
road by way of Dawson Mining
Camp to Grape Greek would be a rev.
clation to most people. The noun
tains arc superb and the drive through
the pine woods is an event long.to be
remembered. One passes through
the old Ute grave yard on the way
to Crane Greek Canon, where the Ute
Indians buried their dead after the
famous raid into the hunting ground
of the Comanchcs and Chcyenncs dur
ing the Civil war.
Another popular resort for pic
nickcrs is the top of Frcmont's Peak,
which is hardly four miles from the
head of Main street The summit OF
the peak is but little over two thou
sand feet above the river, but view
is opened up from its crest that has
few equals in Colorado. There is
first class trail all the way no to the
top and the trip is easily made at any
season of the year. Hundreds OF pco-
pie annually climb to the summit OF
Frcmont's Peak, which is ono of the
landmarks of Southern Colorado.
There are picnic places galore with
in the radius of few miles. any of
which would interest party of pleas
ure seekers. particularly so IL they
were unused to mountain scenery.
Among those we are able to recall of

Within easy driving distance OF
Canon City are score OF picnic
grounds which rival in fascination and
scenic beauty the most famous resorts
of the kind in the country, and the
equability of the climate renders them
available for pleasure parties at all
seasons of the year; hardly less SO at
Thanksgiving and Christmas time
than during the summer months
Washington's birthday is one of our
most popular picnic days.

be found in nearly every gulch. and

tcrest that possesses a restfulncss and
charm peculiarly its own.
To describe them all in detail would
require much space. A brief mention
of some of the most attractive places
is about all that can be made.
In the matter of fame and celebrity
the Royal Gorge of the Arkansas
river with its Hanging Bridge is pre-
eminent among the resorts about
Canon City and Thousands of people
visit it every year. Like Niagara Falls.
the Big Trees of California the Royal
Gorge is one of Natures masterpieces
and its grandeur has been heralded in
all parts of the world. The entrance
to the Gorge is one mile West of the
City and the Hanging Bridge where
picnicers "do most congregate" is
some four or FIVE miles further on.
There is no driveway through the
Canon, although there is an excellent
carriage road as far as the Hot
Springs hotel, and those who picnic
in its depths must walk along the rail
road track until a chosen spot is
reached for their al fresco luncheon.
The scene on every hand is one of
the utmost sublimity and magnifcence
and the pleasure seeker will be thou
sand times repaid for the weariness
and exertion which the trip produces.
An exhilarating drive of twelve
miles. along a mountain road that is
fairly good at all times, will take the
picnicker to the top of the Royal
Gorge where he may look down
sheer three thousand feet into the mar
row defile through which the waters
of the Arkansas flow like thread OF
silver. The scene is one that can
hardly be paralleled on the Continent

Oak Creek Canon, ten miles south

beautiful places imaginable for
day's pleasure outing. The scenery
is grand and there is an abundance of
shade and water, which are prime re-
quisites in the selection of picnic
ground, whether the gathering is held
on the mountains or upon the plains.
To reach Oak Creek Canon one has

The General Use of Wind Mills.

Although there will always neces.
use for various purposes, the age OF
pumping the country water supply
by hand is passing; has passed, as
surely as has the day Of the cradle
and the scythe in the harvest fields.
1t is in the line of reason and the
advancement of the times that this
should be so. Why should farmers
burn up the vital energies of their
bodies, that can so advantageously be
economical for other manual labor,
when the wind is ready to pump the
water for stock and homes, and at no
expense. A good. serviceable wind
mill can be purchased and put up so
cheaply nowadays that it seems not
so much matter as to whether or
not farmers can afford to have one, or
more, on their farms, as to whether
or not they can economically afford to
do without them. This especially
when we consider that merely as time
savers they will very soon repay their
original costs.
The prairies are studded with these
muscle-saving water elevators; guide
posts they are to well-eQuipped and
prosperous farmsteads, and. judging
from appearances, the majority are in
this class. Not only on the plains
but from coast to coast over all the
states they are in evidence, ,monu-
ments Of wise economy. However,
the useful work of pumping water is
not, by any means, the only work
these engines of the wind are made
to perform. Both east and west you
may find them saving wood, grinding
feed, churning, running cutting boxes,
root cutters, washing machines,
Srindstones and various other light

Spells Of Numbness and Weakness
Receivers Perfect Health.
When she was fourteen years old, Mrs,
Yda L. Brown had St. Vitus' dance.
She finally got over the most noticeable
features of the strange ailment, but was
still troubled by very uncomfortable SEN
sations, which she recently described as
follows:
"One hand, half of my face, and half
of my tongue would get cold and numb.
these feelings would come on, last for
about ten minutes, and then go away,
several times a day. Besides I would
have palpitation of the heart, and my
strength would get SO low that L could
hardly breathe. AS time went Oh these
spells kept coming oftener and growing
worse. The numbness would sometimes
extend over half my body"
How did you get rid of them?''
"It seemed for a long time as if never
about six years ago that found a remedy
that had virtue enough III it to reach my
case That was DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, and they have since en-
tirely cured ME"
Did it take long to effect cure?"
Not hadn't taken the whole of the
first box before saw great improve

better all the time, until had taken eight

What was that?"

Pink Pills are without an equal for the
rapid and thorough cure of nervous pros

the best of tonics in all cases of weak
