the clearing next to the forest, and
told Pa that every morning his herd
ers turned a lot of lions, giraffes,
rhinoceroses and Zebras into the track,
and the family chased them around
the track in automobiles, and Pa said
he would like to enter into such a
race, and the man ordered the herders
to turn in the animals
The cowboy wanted saddle horse
and lariat rope, and they fixed him
out, and when the herders announced
that the animals were on the track
all right, we got into the waiting autos,
the man and pat sat on the front seat
with the chauffeur, and some of us got
in the back seats and started out.
When the animals saw us coming
they started down the home stretch,
and the auto gave chase, and we
yelled and fired guns in the air, and

One of the most delightful drives

The road skirts picturesque ravine

hours, and the Trindefos, beautiful
waterfall, should not be missed. In
two hours more the watershed be-
tween the Sognefjord and the Boil

The moment the car stopped the big

the men heard the long, quavering
howl of the true timber wolf echo
through the night. The great gray
beast was making for the forest in the
outlying parks over the snow-covered
ice Of the frozen Red.
Periodically Winnipeg receives a
visit from one or more of these great
wolves, driven into civilization from
the north by the pangs of hunger.
They cover great distances in single
nights, following the river over the
ice.

We have spent couple of days at
the Michigan mans ranch in darkest
Africa, where he has brought civiliza-
ton right into the jungle, and after
spending six months with negro saw
ages and wild animals, and menagerie
people, it has been the most enjoyable
two days l ever knew.
1t is good sometimes to see our
selves as others see us, and not hav-
Ing looked into a mirror for half a
year, we found that we were about the
most disreputable looking tourists
that, ever came in sight Of beds, with
linen sheets on, and pillows.
| noticed that the family of the
michigan man and the servants looked
at us with suspicion, and turned up
their noses at us. but ! never realized
what it was all about until they
showed us to our rooms that night,
and found that my face and hands
were black with dirt and smoke, and
my clothes were greasy and patched
with buckskin patches. sewed on with
strips OF rawhide, and my torn coat
was pinned together with thorns.
could see Pa and the cowboy all the
time, and knew that they looked like
tramps, but | thought | was all right
The Michigan man showed us to our
rooms, after Pa and the cowboy had
drank a few quarts of highballs, and
they were going to 90 to bed with
fhnf, IL
would ruin the beds if they did, so
insisted that we all get in the bath
tubs and take our semi-annual bath,
and as the man left us he said we
could find clothes to put on in the
morning, in closet, and to leave our
clothes out in the hall and he would
have a servant take them away with
the tongs and burn them in the fur
mace.
That sobered Pa and the cowboy a
little and they decided to try the
baths.
Well, we didn't do a thing to the
running water, and before we retired
we had washed ourselves so clean,
with real soap, the first we had seen
since we left Germany, that Pa and
the cowboy had to be introduced to
each other, and l was so clean that
didn't know myself, and we put on pa
jamas that we found in the room,
and crawled into the clean beds and
slept till morning, after putting all our
clothes out of the room, to purify
the air.
In the morning we dressed up in the
clothes the Michigan man told us we
would find in the closet, and such a
transformation was never seen be
fore.
Pa found a pair Of gray pants and
a frock coat and a silk hat, and when
he was dressed and had on a white
shirt he looked like a senator from
South Carolina.
The cowboy found a golf suit, with
short pants, long socks, and puttee leg
gins. and a Tam o Shanter cap, and
he looked like an escaped Scotchman
