thing about it is ccIdutiy to rest
of both mind and body. There are
no amusements except those which
nature provides. The elder Smiley
laid down strict rules whes the place
was established, and these rules are
strictly adhered to by the succeeding
generation. The hotels are conducted
on strictly temperance principles, and
dancing and card playing are not al
lowed One would think that such
rules as these would be irksome, but
such does not seem to be the case at
Minnewaska. Visitors there soon be-
come convinced that the rules are not
due to narrow mindedness, but spring
from sincere and honest conviction.
In the hotel parlOr, at the bottom of
crayon Of the elder Smiley brothers.
is this inscription: ssAs For Me and My
House, We Will Serve the Lord" This
tells the whole story of the seeming
ly rigorous rules of the place The
proprietors not only profess religion;
but strange as it may seem in these
days, they actually live it, ard the
moral atmosphere at their hotel is as
pure as the air that one breathes.
The view from this mountain top
needs be seen to be appreciated. On
one side of the Shawangunk is the
beautiful Waikiki valley and on the
other the park-like landscape of the
Rondout. In the distance are the
Highlands of the Hudson, the Berk
shire hills, the Green mountains of
Vermont and the Catskills, scene of
indescribable beauty and charm.
There would be something wrong
with the makeup of an editor who.
after spending three days amid such
surroundings as these, did not return
to his desk better equipped to take up
the strenuous duties of his profession.

tee, to whom much credit is. due for
the success of the affair, We're Mr.

and Rev. DR.. John Handley, district

Mr.. Gum in assuming the Office plead
ed for the cooperation of every mem
Der of the association in making his
administration a success. At the con-
clusion of the banquet the members of
the party gathered in the hotel parlor
and enjoyed an informal program of
vocal and instrumental music.
Sunday was day of rest. No car
riage riding is allowed at Minnewaska
that day. but the more ambitious of
the party took walks to various places
ley conducted religious service and
preached a very able sermon on sThe
Laws of God Are Perfect The com
.nents on the sermon from people all
over the country who were stopping
at the hotel filed the hearts of all
the Jerseymen, and particularly the
friends of DR. Handley. with pride
In the evening Mr.. Smiley, proprietor
Of the hotel conducted service Of
song and praise. DR.. Handley gave a
short talk on "Why Men Do Not At
tend Church. and then threw the
meeting open for discussion. The re-
sponse was prompt. and a most inter-
esting meeting developed.
Home by Different Route.
Monday morning, with reluctance,
the guests packed their grips and bade
goodby to Minnewaska. To avoid
monotony the homeward trip was by
a different route from the one by which
the lake was reached The guests
were taken by carriage to Kerhonkson.

The Song Of the Firecracksr.

With a fzz. and boom! and bang
With q bang! and boom! and fizz!
Oh. this is the song the firecracker sang
With the booml and the bang! and thefzzs
from the farthest Of faraway lands,
From the land of the rice and bamboo,
By the cunning Chinee with his dextrous
hands
We are nodded and fashioned for you
t'Would it seem like the Fourth OF July
Without our explosion and noise7
Oh. the men on parade march quietly by
But the crackers belong to the boysl
There's no need for the sun to arouse
All the world on this Fourth Of July,
For we're up and we're OF. though the
grown folk may browse.
We wake the whole land when We try
With fizz! and boom! and bangs
To the very last sixzle and sigh
Oh, these are the words that tbs fire
cracker sang.
''Hurrah for the Fourth of 1uly.''

Iy furnished, and on the walls of it's
decks are beautiful paintings of scenes
along the Hudson made famous by
legend and history. On this trip the
party enjoyed the courtesies of Mr.. f.
]. Hubbard, general passenger agent of
the Albany Day line.
Arriving at Poughkeepsie, the party
was transferred by ferry to Highland
and thence to New Paltz by trolley
through very picturesque section Of
country At New Paltz carriages from
the two hotels at Lake Minnewaska, the
Wildmere and Cliff House. were in
waiting to convey the party to their
destination at the top of the mountain.
The carriage ride consumed about five
hours but the country trayersed was
SO delightful in its primitive beauty
that none thought the journey too
long. Across the Waikiki valley, dot
ted with farmhouses, the trip led up
the mountain side, the road winding
like the letter to avoid as much as
possible a steep ascent. All along this
mountain road are precipitous cliffs,
huge rocks, gurgling streams and falls
and cascades of pure and sparkling
water.
Rest After Long Trip.
Upon reaching the lake, which is
1900 feet above sea level, the mem
hers of the party were assigned to
their rooms either at the Wildmere or
reached until just time for dinner, and
in consequence of the long journey and
the natural fatigue incident to the trip
no entertainment had been provided
for the evening.
/ Saturday morning was devoted to
carriage trips over the many interest
ing drives radiating from the noun
tain's summit. The most popular trip
was 10 Lake Mohonk The road from.
Lake Minnewaska. to this popular re-
sort stretches for several miles along
the side of a mountain. The Waikiki
valley, with its patches of green and
ripening grain, lies 800 feet below, and
above the road rise rugged cliffs to the
height of several hundred feet Some
of the powders project far out over
the drive, and the roadway itself seems
10 have been chiseled out of the rocks.
One of the wonders of this road to
every one who travels it is that such
driveway should ever have been
thought possible along such a high
and precipitous cliff.
Leaving the Undercliff road, as it
is called, which takes practically
level course along the mountain side,
there is another winding climb up the
mountain to Lake Mohonk The scene
that greets the eye here is almost i'm
possible of description. Minnewaska
is marvellous for its natural beauty,
but at Mohonk the work Of nature has
been marvelously enhanced by the
hand of man. Here are well kept
lawns of natural slope, flower gardens
abounding in variegated foliage and
+ large hotel filling every want that NOR
tai man might desire except intoxi-
] cants Across the lake from the hotel
| is Sky Top, rising majestically from
! the waters edge and affording a mag
! niticent panoramic view OF the sur
rounding country as far as the eye
can see.
