regular intervals upon the outside Of
the rock, which, though apparently
moss, are actually the covering Of bat
teries that command the harbor.
Gibraltar marks a definite point In
the progress Of the tourist. 1t is the
big mountain dog Of the British, which
guards the entrance to the Mediterran-
can Sea, with fortress and tower
that hugs the rock below. Traversing
the neutral ground along the sandy
isthmus beyond 1t, the traveller has Il
where the Franco-German conference
over reforms in Morocco was recently
held. 1t is here that the traveller has
his first glimpse Of the far-famed Med
iterranean sunsets, with Algiers the
next stopping point of the steamer, 4l0
miles away.
A panoramic view OF Frances North
African possessions as they look from
half a mile or less at sea Is something
to remember. Algiers itself is beautl
full, rising to the old fortress on the
height above 1t in an unbroken mass
of minarets and cupolas and white
houses, on whose terraced roofs the
flowers bloom. Westward the hills de-
cline to promontory, Sidi Ferruch,
nineteen miles away, and eastward to
Cape Nation, 80 that the land where
Algiers Is built Is crescent-shaped. Far
away to the south the Atlas mountains
rise. Nearer this side Of the fertile
plain Of the Metjeda are the pictur-
esque and fertile highlands of the
Sahel, Just behind the city, where are
palm trees and eucalyptus, cypress and
olive, where fruits grow in abundance.
The entrance to the city Is decidedly
pleasing, for the fine esplanade Of the
lower French quarter faces the sea.

The native city is higher up the hill

That Cranky Cyclone.

A young friend on the south
side sends us the following:
A cyclone passed by Mr.. Dahr-
mans and Henry Stauffer's places
last Thursday, between 4 and ) p.
M, south of the river. 1t tore an
old header standing in NJ. Dohr-
mans field all to pieces, and pull
led fence posts out. Coming over
to Staufer's it took two header
barges about fifteen feet in the air
and tore them all to pieces; then
blew one of them over into the
pasture. 1t carried off a barrel
standing in the yard, and moved a
granary off the foundation; it
took all the wires off the fence at
Stauffer's and tore up things in
general. There were eight seen
around this part of the country.
1t did not miss the house more
than a hundred feet. 4

OBSERVATIONS I" d. I'' "a,

The experiences / have had
during the past week or more, in
moving and installing an up.to-
date printing plant only a few
hundred feet from where over
thirty years ago | commenced to
learn the printers trade, calls to
mind the conditions in Great Bend
and Barton county today and
those of 80 to 80 years ago, when
the first settlers were planting
themselves in this favored spot.
| shall try to recall some of the
early experiences of those hardy
pioneers who drove the opening
wedge to civilization, and sang
and joked as they plugged away.
While there were many hard
ships undergone, they are mostly
forgotten now; and when the old
timers gather at Aliens corner
and begin to swap yarns and re-
call their early experiences, it is
generally the amusing incidents
that come first to mind.
For instance:
Squire E. }. Dodge lad settled
on claim on the Walnut, a few
miles north of town. He and his
sons were one day engaged in
building what was one of the first
homes in the county. They were
putting up a two room sod house,
when John Pacsoe came along to
neighbor a bit. likewise to rubber.
He sized up the 'Squire's family
of eight children, and remarked:
Mr.. Dodge, Hi think if Hi
was you Hi would build a larger
'ouse. Throw a hell on the north
and you will ave another and
some ROOM"
The Squire cooked an eye up.
to John, and remarked:
We'll, | guess when | get all of
'em in those two rooms there will
be hell" enough. John"
