Keeping hotel on the frontier in
early days was no amusement Sup
plies were hard to get: shipmen
were irregular and competent cooks
and walters We're scarce as saints.
Most of the cooks were men from
the mining camps and cattle ranges
and they went armed so as TO recipro-
cate criticism upon their CUISINE.
Napkins, were unknown: tablecloths
We're changed weekly and lost their
color before their tenure had expired;
the croCkery was the heaviest kind
of ironware, and many a man has
been laid out cold with blow from
tea cup. Walters were called
hash singers" A traveller once
asked permission to take his beck
steaf portion away with him because
he needed a new hinge on his trunk.
The bacon was rancid and the rest
OF the menu consisted OF canned
beans and tomatoes and ''sinkers'' -
which was the familiar name for
soda biscuits so heavy that they
wouldn't float.

Fixing I'd the HORSE,

II you had a highly intelligent thor
oughbred horse to which you were
greatly attached, what would YOU do
for him in order to bring him to the
highest point of efficiency
You you teach him. at great incon-
venience and after many repetitions,
to smoke from ten to fifteen cigars a
day, and would you mix with his oats
all the way from a pint To a quart of
alcohol? Would you reinforce this by
overlooking his stomach with highly
spiced food and add all the narcotics
that were IN the market, such as tea,
coffee. etc? Would YOU keep him in
heated stable without any fresh air,
make him sit up at all hours of the
night and permit all the veterinarians
In the neighborhood To hold consulta-
tons and operate upon him as often
as they needed the money?
And If YOU did all this, what sort OF
a race would you expect that horse to
win life
