In the Mountain Goat COUNTY,.

On both sides of our ideally beautiful
camp in the head Of Avalanche Valley
the mountains rose steeply and far
First came the roof slopes, a mile from
bottom to top, their faces scanned with
parallel slides" and ribbed with the
ridges Of rock and points Of green
timber that climbed up between them.
Above all that rose the long stretches
OF crag and rock wall, crowned by peak,
dome" and Saddle
From bottom to top we scanned the
sideways for grizzly bears feeding on
berries or digging roots. We watched
the grassy belt just below the cliff-foot
for mountain sheep. Goats we saw up
there, daily, in little groups Of three to
i've; but we had resolutely drawn our
firing-line at three goats each.
But there was one old billy who fas-
cinated US all. When we looked out Of
our tents on our first morning in that
camp, he was calmly lying upon a ledge
above US, near q bank of perpetual
snow. For two days he remained there.
at the same elevation, moving neither
north nor south, more than three
hundred yards. When hungry, he came
down to the foot of the cliff and fed on
the tender plants that grew at timber
line, then climbed back to his favorite
contour line, to lie and doze away the
hours
That goat seemed SO sociable that
finally we began to regard him as one
of US. and we scrutinized him and apoS-
trophized him to our hearts content.
On the fourth morning the beautifully
clear sky and faultless atmosphere re-
vealed a rare opportunity. While the
cook was putting the finishing touches
to an inspiring breakfast of fried mule
deer steaks and other luxuries, those of
US who had most quickly succeeded in
finding the clean spots on the camp
towels took our usual morning gaze at
that old goat" eye gods! How glor-
ious was the crisp air. the spruce-woods
odor, the crackle aid snap of the camp
fire, and the golden glow of sunrise on
the western peaks and precipices. That
was life-without a f1awD-W. T. Horn

Location of the Appendix.

Ernest w. Hardy. law partner of the
genial Dick Irwin of Northampton
and we'll known in the political circles
of this state, is a great reader, and
often INDUCES in that pursuit until the
wee hours of the morning
Not long since, while reading a most
interesting treatise on some important
law case, he was suddenly seized with
severe pains. but at first paid no spe-
cial attention to them AS the hands
of the clock pointed to near 2 a. m. the
pains become so intense that he feared
he was having an attack of appendi-
citis. so he at once telephoned his
physician. The doctor sleepi1y an
swered the call, and the following OBJ
servations exchanged:
Say. doe, is my appendix under my
watch -

ARGADY.

They have no griefs, the Shining Ones,
That dwell above the sky,
But when they look toward Already
A tender cloud drifts bys
For they may not see Already.
Excepting those that die.

In dreams yc meet in Already,

LIE HAIR IN ENGLAND'S BISCUIT
Next to having Germany find blue
bottle flies in her sausage this coun-
Try would sooner have England get a
scare on impure food than any other
nation on earth. The lesson of the dis
closures from the London pure food
commission yesterday is the familiar
warning, don't get gay. England has
Deen entirely too much overcome by
the horrors at the disclosures in
America. The discovery of filth in her
own jam factories ought to be a judg-
ment Of providence. if it isn't. HUI
man nature is pretty much the same,
many doors is a dust heap that reposes
IN the security OF the common fancy
that a thing that's out of sight is no
disgrace. The food sensation has been
oyerworked in this country, but the
tendency to let things be "cluttered
up exists all the way from the pri-
waite pantry to the mfIlion-dollar
American packing house-and to the
Jam factory and bakery in England.
The faults that the world is having
with It's food supply and its appetite
are It's own faults, and it is rather a
time for recognizing conditions as they
exist instead of pointing the finger of
scorn at the neighbors. This country
needed q law which would make food
preparers be more particular than the
ordinary human inclination would
make them. The law was provided.
England has discovered the same
need The countries which haven't
such laws already will have to have
them if they are to look around the
kitchen before sitting down to dinner.
There is cause for some pride in the
fact that America found herfaults first,
and so promptly remedied them.=Ot-
