provisions, but weeks of these and
nothing else caused a yearning for
fresh meat.
This craving had to go unsatisied
till one blissful day Mr.. Dickinson
stirred up an antelope. There were
several, but all but one got away. This
one fell a victim to the husbands aim,
and afforded a two days feast to the
couple.
Worse than the difficulty of getting
fresh meat was the constant trouble
of finding water.
In the midst of this long trip many
curious, some dangerous, experiences
came to them.
One night as they slept in the shad-
ow Of the dying embers of their camp
fire Mr.. Dickinson was startled by a
sound new to him, but which it is
said that even the novice recognizes
at first hearing. 1t was the bowling of
wolves.
Steadily they drew nearer to the
camp, until their greenish eyeballs
could be seen in the surrounding
woods.
Mr.. Dickinson Weakened his wife,
and the two took refuge in the wagon,
which they surrounded with the
horses, SO that the animals could be
protected from the bloodthirsty raw
ayers which drew ever nearer
Rifle in hand, Mr. Dickinson sat in
the front of the wagon, occasionally
firing when a too venturesome wolf
came into the open. Several times
howl of pain told of bullet that had
hit it's mark. Mrs. Dickinson used
pistol.
1t was not until nearly dawn that
the wolves withdrew.
Still more exciting was the expert
ence with "Great Norther." This is
the term applied to the noted wind
storms, for which this region is ia
nous.

The baggage handlers on the rail-
roads are justly called baggage
smashers." In Washington one day
distinguished French visitor to this
country pointed out to one Of these
men a rather frail gripsack.
"1s that strong enough he asked,
ITO go in the baggage carr"
It'll see," said the man. He lifted
the grip high above his head and
threw it on the platform with all his
might.
"That," he said, els what she'll get
in Philadelphia
He took it up again and banged it
against the side Of car four or five
times.
"That is what she'll get in Chicago"
he went on.
He tossed it high in the air, and on
its descent jumped on it. This broke
the lock open, SO that the contents
were scattered over the platform.
'And that's what she'll get in Sioux
City," he concluded.
You'd better take her in the Pull

went to the Pesos river. En- route
they stopped at whatever place
caught their fancy, staying days,
weeks or months.
This journey was attended with
more than its proportion of expert
ences. The Dickinsons encountered
alkali water, which they couldn't
drink, and only liberal supply car
ried along kept them from actual suf-
fering.
They were caught in quicksands,
and suffered terribly at times from
the snowstorms encountered in cross
ing the mountains. Near Trinidad
they were showed in for ten days, and
got SO short of provisions that it
would have been necessary to kill one
of the horses but for thaw which
let them continue to another station,
where they stayed for several weeks.

Mrs. Dickinson suggested honey
moon that would benefit her hus-
bands health. He cast aside bust
ness, cut the wires and got so far
away that no message by telegraph
or telephone, mail or carrier stood a
chance of reaching him.
First the pair went to Amerilla,
Mex. This trip was made by rail in
the quickest possible way, so that Mr..
Dickinson could rest there for time,
and get strength for the strenuous ex-
periences which faced him.
Then when the groom had gathered

Costly Walls of Panama.

When the spaniards built the city
OF Panama to be the great port of
their Pacific commerce they put
around it walls which they expected
to save them from raiders of all sorts.
Although these walls were built by
natives forced to work almost for
nothing, they cost, says Mr. Forbes
Lindsay, not less than $11,000,000.
The king of Spain, the story goes,
looked YEARLY and long one day out
of the westerly windows of his palace.
One of his ministers inquired the rea-
son for his apparent anxiety.
II am looking" said the king, ''for
those costly walls of Panama. They
ought to be visible even at this dis
tance."

Speaking Of fishing, "fishermen's
luck" "lucky fishermen" ETC., says the
Miami (Fla) Record, what does it all
mean, anyhow?
To say man is lucky fisherman
is merely to admit his superiority as
fisherman over other fishermen.
The fish are in the water; we all have
the same chance to get them, yet some
lucky fishermen" always come home
with their fish boxes full and the 9th
er fellow gets nothing. In the parlance
of the fisherman, the word '@luck'' real
ly means Knowledge
The lucky fisherman" you will
find, knows the rock holes where the
grouper turks; he knows the channels
in and about the patches and passes
where the amberjacks and barracuda
live; he knows how to bait his hooks
for different fish as occasion may re-
quire; he knows the style of hook to
use for every kind of fish; he is a
judge Of what style Of fishing to do
under certain conditions of wind and
weather, and, above all, he is untiring
in his efforts to use all of his knowl-
edge when he is out for fish.
Last year when Gen. Shattue broke
the worlds record for catching a large
number of tarpon in a few hours, 9th
er fishermen said he is $50 lucky"
1t is surely peculiar coincidence
how "luck' still sticks to the general.
He just can not shake it off; it sticks
to him like paper on the wall. All
this season the Buckeye, the generals
natty little yacht, has always returned
from her days pleasure fishing trips
with her fish box full; on days, too,
when others were wondering why the
fish would not strike. The general is
fond of outdoor exercise, and of late
has been taking couple Of hours
run up the bay and back and, Incl
dentally, catching tarpon or two on
each trip. Just because he is lucky
and needs the exercise, and about the
easiest way for some people to get
regular exercise is to catch tarpon
every day. To do this one must be
lucky"
