Daniel H. Moon, for several years
prominent resident of this city in
the earlier stages of our history,
leaving here after the fire which de-
stroyed the mill of the Moon & Kerr
Lumber Co. and much of the resi-
dence and business portion of the
city in 1900, has recently returned to
the country after two years of travel
abroad and again engaged in busi-
ness in St. Paul. ,>entering the house
of the Sharood Shoe Co. as men,
Der and treasurer of the concern.
In the course of his globe trottins
Mr.. Moon covered upwards of $1,000
miles by railway and steamer, visit.
ing almost every place on the earth
Of historic interest.
At the time of Russo-Jap. hostili.
ties he was in the Orient, and on
April Sth, 1905, while stopping at
Singapore, saw the Russian Baltic
fleet as it passed through the Straits
of Malacca and anchored in the har-
bor of Saignon, one of their last
stops before meeting death and de-
struction at the hands of Togo's
men-of-war, and again on May 9th,
the date of the destruction Of the
fleet, was at the port of Anona Has.
hidate, but five hours sail from the
scene of battle and almost within
hearing distance of the cannon's
roar.
Mr.. Moon did" continsntal Eu-
rope and Asia, visited the Emerald
Isle where he visited such famed
places as Londonderry, Belfast,
Dublin, Colereen, Tipperary, Cork
and Killarney Lakes, and kissed the
"blarney stone" at Castle Blarney.
From Dublin he went to London
thence to Paris, Nice and into Italy,
passing through Venice, Genoa, Mi
Ian, Rome, Florence, Naples and
Pompeii, and from Naples crossed
the Mediterranean to Alexandria,
Egypt. While in this country he
went from Cairo up the Nile for
distance of seven hundred miles III
an open sail boat, upon his return
to Cairo taking passage on an Eng:
lish mail ship for Alden, Arabia, the
worlds greatest mule market. From
this point he went to Bombay by
boat, and continued his travels
through India by rail.
Mr.. Moon went over nearly all
parts of the land of the Hindoc, and
from Rangoon, the capital of Bur
nah, ,iminortalized by Rudyard Kip
ling's' "Mandalay," embarked for
Singapore and thence to Bannock,
on the isle Of Java. After viewing
the important places on the island
and studying the industrial condi-
tons he sailed tor Singapore, spend
ing much time in Japan and in Wis
iting the cities and places of inter
est in the Chinese Empire.
He returned to the United States
in July last, landing at San Fran
cisco, and spent several months in
the west before returning to Mime
sofa. He still retains large timber
interests throughout the northern
portion of the state, but as these in
terests demand little time or atten-
tion he concluded to re-enter an ac-
tive business life.
Mr.. Moon has many personal
friends in this city who would be
pleased to welcome him at any time
he may visit the city, and who can
assure him that he will find Vir-
ginia different looking place than
at the time of his departure from
the city six years ago.

BEDTIME IN HUNTING CAMP
Picture of Comfort In the Woods Por-
trayed by One Who Has
Enjoyed II.

Everything made ship-shape for the
night. in the fast gathering twilight
for night falls quickly In this hilly and
forest covered regson-you throw an
extra log or two on your cook fire. spread
your rubber ponchos against the damp
ness. light your big brier pipes, and
sprawl out before the cheerful blaze
for bedtime smoke, writes Borden Fl.
Mills. In Four-Track News.
Soon your fire dies down to a fitful
glow, the impenetrable shadows of the
mighty woods creep In upon you. and
you suddenly determine that you
are sleepy. Look at your watch. You
will find that it is hardly nine O'Clock
A ridiculous bedtime" for one who is
accustomed to retiring around mid
night, you think. but If you do not want
to fall asleep by the embers of your
smoldering fire. and wake in the early
dawn with stiff joints and sitter cold
from the morning mists you would bet
ter turn in. Roll up in your blanket on
the fragrant mattress of boughs, find the
two softest spots for your shoulders and
your hips, and you'll sleep like top
until morning.
