far as the lift when going up in it he
saw Prince Ponioto Wsky. The sight
affected Miss Lanes toWnsman SO for
chilly that instead of going up to the
dancers apartment Dan took himself
off, and anger, displeasure and some
thing like disgust were the only sem
timents he carried away from the Sa-
yoy. He sent her no flowers, and gave
himself up unreservedly to Joshua
Ruggles and to a couple of men who
came in to see him by appointment.
And when toward four o'clock he found
himself alone with Ruggles, Dan
threw himself down in a big chair d
looked intensely bored.
"WeI, I guess we don't need to see
any more of these fellows for week,
Dan," Ruggles yawned with relief.
I'm blamed if it isn't as hard to take
care of money as to get it. I was a
poor. man once, and SO was your ia
Their. Those were the days we had
fun"
Ruggles took out big cigar, struck
a match sharply, and when he had lit
his Henry Clay Re fEed his gaze On
the flying London fog, whose black
curtain drew itself across their Win
dow.
There's a lot of excitement" Rug
giles said, Sin not knowing what you're
going to get; may turn out to be any
thing when you're young and on the
trail. That's the way your father and
me felt. And when we started out on
the SPOT that's Blairtown on the map
today, your father had forty dollars
a week to engineer busted mine and
to pull the company into shape"
Dan knew the story of his fathers
rise by heart, but he listened
''He took on with the mine lot of

along the line. He didn't chuck 'em
out. There's no life in old wood,
JOSH he said to me, but sometimes
there's fire in it, and I'm going to light

whole lot of them in eighteen months,
and within two years he had that
darned mine paying dividends. Mean

But certain sections of it could be util-
lied by the use of brains and capital,
neither of which exists in a striking
degree in this country.
At two O'Clock we suddenly descend
ed into a valley and arrived some
where. The horses were watered and
fed and we secured dinner for our
Sc yes. Having rested an hour we
again mounted, for we desired TO get
far enough that night to be able TO fin
ish the trip on the next day, Satur-
day.
Another long stretch of eak table

Tor rather had falien) from some
snow-clad peak and we were quickly
chilled TO The bone. Wrapping our
long capes about US, urging on the fal-
tering horses, we oent our heads and
struggled on. We had all that we
could do 10 keep the animals moving
at ALL The fine dust of the dry plain
cut our eyes and irritated our parched,
bleeding lips. After couple hours of
this we descended into succession Of
tiny valleys, in the last of which, cud-
died around bubhling brook, we
found an inn.
SURPRISED Themselves.
TWAS eight O'Clock when the ami
mails were all attended to, and we
were free to retire. AS the day had
been unusually long and tiresome, we
lost no timein doing SO, planning to
arise at half-past four, for an early
start, to advoid all danger of being
caught still outside of Bucaramanga
for the Sab bath.

exc|aiming, "Five minutes of five!

marked on the shortness the of night.

or anything worse. Caesar was called,
and brought the horses and mules
up to our door, for feeding. Then he
began the hollow resonant noise that
proclaimed to everyone within
quarter of a mile that he was cutting
up cane. Just as Mr.. Williams was
doing up the bed-roll, and [ had COM
menced to dress Newell, Caesar
appeared at the door.
"l don't think it can be five O'Clock,
yet, senior. For the moon is stlll
climbing up the east"
It was eleven o'clock.
[ thought it we'll that we were to
reach Bucaramanga the next day, as
our eagerness to get there seemed to
grow with every hour!
The next morning, we commenced
the descent, by long sweeps around
the side, of another mountain. Only
two thousand feet, down, this time,
and much of the trail crossed by
little brooks, and lined by trees. AT
the foot of this mountain, and in the
largest, pleasantest valley we saw on
the trip, lies an important city, Pie de
Cuesta. 1t is ia ned as a cattle-market,
and we had passed many droves of fat
oxen being driven over the mountains
down and up the "Sube", on the long,
long journey to death in this little,
city.

Destination at Last.

After dinner in this place, we hur-
ried on, over very passable trails thru
La Florida, to Bucaramanga, dis
lance of some 20 miles. We arrived be-
fore five in the afternoon, but were re-
fused rooms at all the hotels. The no.
tells were all full. AT last, in one place,
they fixed up their parlor for us, and
about ten o'clock, we had beds made
up for the night.
This letter is quite too long for any
further remarks about our new home
1t is shot country, city of some
thirty-five thousand, without street
cars, with no railroad, and seemingly
few rentable houses. AS yet we have
been unable to secure a house of any
sort, and are existing in native hotel,
while we rest from the journey, and
recover some skin on our faces, since
mos. of what we had peeled off.
We have had the unique experience
of having journeyed over the Andes,
and altho it was naturally mixed up
with much inconvenience. and some
suffering, it was well worth the trou-

periences, he might do worse than try

and found the roads in passable condi-

rainy seasons. We were in sight of
snow-topped mountains nearly every
day of the trip, yet we visited some of |

COLE BROTHERS
CIRCUS COMMINC
June Fourth Will Be Gala Day
With Plenty OF Music And
Wild Animals

Flaming posters in all the color
Of the rainbow through this section
proclaim the fact that the worlt
famed Cole Brothers United Show
are to be seen in Mountain Home
Tuesday June 4th. Already the small
boy and his elders are happy in an
ticipating the coming of this mighty
tented amusement enterprise and its
countless wonders. For this season
the Cole Brothers enlarged their show
in every department and their greatly
augmented list of performers, feat
ure acts and menagerie exhibits
made it necessary to add seyera
more railroad cars. Today three
special trains are required to trans
port the huge tents, ponderous wag
ons, cages, dens, chariots, tableau
cars, elephants, camels, horses ponies
men and women.
In the triple. geological gardens
combined under one vast spread of
canvas are to be found the finest
specimens OF rare, strange and curl
GUS animals from every quarter of
the globe. Prominent in this collec-
tion Is full grown yellow Obvious
Moschatus, positively the only one
ever seen by man. Captured north
of Great Slave Lake at latitude "a,
1t was only by exercising the great
est diplomacy that Cole Brothers
agents We're enabled to get the ami
NAL out of the country. Covered
with heavy coat of pure golden
yellow hair, the beast was regarded
as sacred by the natives, not one OF
whom could be induced to aid in its
capture. There are other exhibits OF
animal life equally as rare, making
a visit to the Cole Brothers mena-
geries of far greater educational val
ue than will ever be gained by the
deepest study of all the books at
hand on the subject of natural his
tory. Inside the vast canvas am
pitheater are three great rings and
as many elevated stages encircled by
a monster modern hippodrome track.
Overlapping all is a veritable maze
of trapeze and horizontal bars, flying
rings, ropes, wires and other aerial
rigging. From the beginning to the
end of the performance hundreds of
men, women and animal performers

Educational Campaign For

Fire Prevention
Nothing more clearly shows the
trend of modern thought regarding
conservation than the change in SEN
timent as regards fire protection.
For many years the sole desire has
been to train men for efficiency in
fighting fire. Now the emphasis is
all placed on the prevention of fire.
That there is a need of a campaign
of education along preventative lines
is shown by the fact that the subject
is becoming one to be taught in our
public schools and several states hav
ordered it incorporated in the cur
riculum. The fire marshals of var
lous states are working with dilgenc
to the end that every city and vii
lage shall make a point to drill
school children in the art of prevent
ing fires, by encouraging cleanliness
in so far as it obviates the accum-
ulation of rubbish and combustible
material in the home and it's sur
roundings. Like every other innov-
alton, this one had it's opponents,
many parents contendng that it in
wolves additional work to the already
overcrowded brain of their children.
This opposition is the result of the
parents inability to grasp the point.
Teaching the young mind is only one
branch of this work, although it is
an important one. We are becoming
more and more aware that careless
ness Is the root of fire evil, and
there is no better point at which to
begin in our educational campaign
for prevention, than with children at
an early age, when they are most su
ceptible to impressions and influence
1t should also be borne in mind that
when the children are being taught.
the parents also come in for their
share. Let the child become inter
ested in any subject and every one
in the household will have a similar
desire to become enlightened. The
things they learn at school about |
matches, for instance, they will talk
about in the home, and the older peo
pie will in most instances cooper
ate with the children in their efforts
to carry out these instructions, even
though too Indifferent to start the
subject themselves. Only good re-
suits can be expected from this cam
paign when the children grow to. lie
men and women and enter upon the
of life. The wonder
Is that the subject has been neglec.-
ed so long, while matters of lesser
Importance in our daily existence
have found their way into our edu-
oeen put forth to inculate in the
minds of the young the necessity of
1yg1ene, and why not go a step far
her and teach them something of even
greater Importance, for surely there
S nothing so destructive, not even
disease, as fire.

How Walter De Leon took to writing
Plays and Acting

A few years ago young man Out
in California spent his spare time
writing farces to be submitted to tht
University of California for produc

ceeded in capturing the prize of the
Junior Extravaganza, he next aspr
ed for the Senior farce, in which con
| petition he was successful. Owing t.
the earthquake and fire in San Fran,
cisco however, it never met with q
production at the College ard later
on De Leon adopted the stage as a
profession and ultimately joined the
Ferris Hartman Company, where he
produced musical comedy embodyin
the experiences he had passed through
while in College, Mr. Hartman lik-
ed the manuscript so we'll that he
determined to produce the play be-
a discovery. The play was "The
Campus" and it proved so success
full that it run for over 212 perform
ances in the city of Los Angeles a.
lone, thus breaking the stock records
OF the world and also broke the re,
cord for length of run for any sort
of theatrical enterprise outside of
New York and Chicago. Later on Mr..

tunes of the Campus" in the East

acts the role of Bobby Shot the

peculiar significance from the fact
That during his senior year at th3 L.
