his slavery to the drink habit His
discourse made great Impression
on all who heard him and about thirty
conversions resulted from it, The
history of Goodheart's life reads like
a romance and he calls himself "a
twice born man" AS a boy and young
man he had great commercial ambi-

the business world, being third from
the top in the list of statesmen EN-
ployed by the great Reed-Murdock

Dear Uncle Dan:
am little girl IL years old going
to school at Hillside.
The wild animals / have seen are
very few. AS l have never been to
a circus or menagerie nor been far up
in the mountains. l have seen several
coyotes, large yellow fellow l saw
on my way from school. He seemed
as tame as a dog.
saw another across our house try
ing to catch Mrs. Keeney's chickens
as they used to go in the pasture to
pick weeds and grass. The coyotes
caught a good many chickens and
ducks. These coyotes are real sly
and cute. They will catch young
calf. l don't like the looks of them
at all.
have seen many prairie dogs. They
stand up on their hind legs and put
their paws together and bark They
live in the ground deep down. Snakes
and owls live with them. They do
50 much damage to the grass and
grain. We have large cat called
Frisky that catches them in the sum-
mer.
saw pretty deer at the upper end
OF our field. 1t was standing still un-
til something frightened it then it
went jumping along at a great rate.
They are beautiful. Their eyes are
SO big and kind looking. They are a
kind OF gray color.
have seen skunks They are pret-
ty, but are awful They are about
the size of a cat, black and white
spots on them. / have seen weasles.
They are long bodied. One / saw
was white. the other was a brown
color. They are very fast runners.
l hope Uncle Dan by next year l
can say | have seen plenty Of wild
animals. ! hope to go to circus
and menagerie. have heard my
brother and sister tell about going.
how fine it was. / want TO 20 so much.
have read little stories about them
and have circus game with all
the animals. but / did not see the

Canon City. Colorado,
March 9, 1911.
Dear Uncle Dan:
in the summer OF 1907, a party of
three boys, three girls, Mother,
Father and sister-in-law. went out
camping. Our camp was about six
miles south OF Canon City. 1t was
situated at the foot of the Greenhorn
mountains between two little hills,
not far from the cottonwood springs.
One day as my brother and ! went
out of camp to get some wood, We
found an old bears hole Back Of
the bears hole there was low place
filled with green vines. AS We started
across the gulley, a black panther
sprang from the vines. II ran over
the hill and was soon out of sight.
The next day we were hunting our
horse when we came upon an old
mountaineer. who was much surprised
to see us without a gun. He said
two panthers and shot at a mountain
lion. He gave US gun and told us
that it was very dangerous to 20
without a gun.
AS we were going home We saw a
cat-like figure spring from a tree. II
ran behind the trees and was soon
out of sight After we got home we
told the others about our adventures
and none of US ventured out again
without a gun.
Yours truly.

trip last May to the Bib Lake. My
papa had promised me that the first
day Of the season We would go and
try our luck. Therefore we had our

about half past six O'Clock we sad
died our ponies and started.
II is about FIVE miles to the lake
from our ranch and all up hill The
trail is almost one continuous climb
around mountain sides. We start
from an elevation of about 1000 feet,
and the lake is about 10000 feet AS
we were about a mile and half up
the trail We heard a rattling in the
leaves and dead limbs OF the trees.
! looked and saw three large deer
standing in the trail. One of the deer
was larger than the other two and
had large horns. The other two were
smaller and had no horns. They
stood watching for moment and
then they ran of through the trees.
At eight o'clock we we're at the
Balman reservoir, one of natures
beautiful spots made more beautiful
by the hand OF man.
We arrived at the lake about nine
O'Clock. Then the real fun COM
menced. | caught eight trout before
Papa caught any.
Then he caught 16 and / caught
more, which made a total OF TWEEN
ty-six for our days catch. / saw a
great many little animals in the
siide rock by the lake. They were OF

like mountain rat only they had no
tails Papa said they we're coneys.
About four o'clock in tho evening we
started for home. | enjoyed my trip

adventure with lo3 cat"
Ono an,umn night about two years
ago. my uncle was I"'ing his bicycle
up the lonesome road west OF the
fair grounds, toward his home on
Orchard Park. He was feeling rath-
er brave although he did start at
every little noise.
AS he was passing the north end
OF the fair grounds he heard a sound
that seemed little too loud. He
jumped of his bicycle and looked
around but saw nothing. Just as he
was mounting again he heard a vici-
ous snarl OF growl. and looked around
In un:c TO see huge bob cat speed
ing up the road in clond OF duet
He started to ride as fast as he could
but the bob cat overlook him. As
he had nothing else to hit the animal
with lie grabbed his hat and began
beating aim with 1t. This made the
