Wyomine's DEVILS Tower.

Devils tower. In northern Wyoming.
rises mysteriously from the vast and
silent level Of the prairie to height
Of 1870 feet. In the early days of
overland travel it served to tell many
an emigrant Of his whereabouts. 1t is
now a national monument. having
been set aside us natural curiosity.
The DEVILS tower monument consists
of about 1000 acres and preserves for
all time this landmark. Probably it
will be many years before the Devils
tower is generally visited. at present
1t Is many miles from railrond. and
few persons see it in the course OF a
year. Those who make the trip. which
Is usually done from the little north
ern Wyoming town Of Sundance, fee
amply repaid for their visit.

/ AN ALMANAC OF
! YE OLDfN TIME
.oRTUNATELY for our foe>

UNFORTUNATELY for our fore
fathers, the almanacs had some
claims to literary merits In
their day. Reading matter
was scarce outside Of the larger towns
OF the colonies. Magazines were prac-
tically unknown. Filled with prog
nostications as to the weather. with
snatches Of wisdom and humor, verse
and essay. the annual almanac became
a compendium of useful knowledge
that was most eagerly awaited and
was hailed as an important event In
many home. One might say that it
was treated as u household god. for,
hung upon a hook in some corner, II
always was ready for instant refer.
ence. The wise saws and quaint say
inGs which run through Its pages were
read over time and again by every
member of the family.
There were numerous almanacs pub
ushed during colonial days In this
country. The popularity Of Poor Rich
ards Almanac. edited by Benjamin
Franklin. Went hand in hand with that
Of its illustrious maker.
The first Ames Almanac, issued in
1925. was conventional in form and
closely followed other almanacs Of
the period. Its maker was a physi-
clan. 1t contained a table Of the
movements Of the planets and sundry
prophecies concerning the weather.
That the doctor was afraid of severe
criticism of this first effort h tndIcat-
ed by the following stanza. which atss
illustrates the style Of his poetry:
Read. then. and learn, but don't all faults
object
Since they can only Judge that ca. coy
rect.
To whom my works appeal and II find
The sons Of art to favor them incin'd.
With their propitious smiles 1t shall suf-
flee
To counterpoise the frowns Of enemies
An examination Of the tilea Of the
Ames Almanac shows that nearly
every conceivable subject was discuss
ed by the doctor in Its nearly forty
years of publication. Sometimes he
INDUCED in flights of imagery. as in
November. 1870:
Old winters coming void of all delight,
