Your Fall
Vacation

If you are one of those who pre-
fer an autumn vacation and are
wondering where you will so this
year, come in and let me tell you
of the pleasures and benefits of a
camping trip in the Rockies, For
genuine enjoyment there is scarcely
anything that can compare with a
trip of this kind.
Those who have camped out
once in the Rockies need no invita-
ton to come again, and those who
want an outing different from the
ordinary can do nothing better.
The climate is very dependable,
railroad facilities are excellent and
good roads and trails lead off into
the mountains in all directions =
these, combined with good fishing
scenic attractions and tonic atmos-
phere make camp life positively

most every recess, Our idea of lux
uries at school was one tablet, one
lead pencil, new slate and half a
slate pencil and we had to come
forth with a plausible explanation
if they did not outlast the term,
where as-now-but its not worth
while, we could not do the subject
of the present genetation justice.
But can you not just close your
eyes and 60 through those first
schooldays. Can you not once
again make that transition from
the very arms of your mother and
those of the homestead that loved,
humored and petted you, into his
care of a stranger and bound by
unknown rules of rigid discipline
and order. 1t was a trying day.
1t is nothing short of delightful
with some but with the timid, SEN
sitive child, it a most trying or
deal as it was with a lad in mind
who was asked how he liked going
to school and he frankly respond
ed, Il like going all right but l
don't like to stay after | get there
You see the going had no hide
bound rules but after he got there
he must abide the new system.
Where is the child who does not
like to 60 into the sandpile, all his
own, and dig wells and rivers, build
sandheaps and ridges of mountains
but all the little sandheaps that he
encounters every day that make up
school-life are as great impenetra-
BILE mountains: obstacles he cannot
understand nor overcome and are
just as heart-rending to young, ten
der life as utter failures are to us
that are older grown. We may
have to go back a few years to be
in sympathy with the little fellows
to the day we had to 90 to school
alone or the day Johnny Jones
pinched us or tore our book the
day we mispelled one word and had
to go foot" or we mispronounced
Belle and called forth laughter and
ridicule.
And how these experiences null
tiply as we mediate. Yes it is a
sensitive age an age when the
tender heart is keenly alive to mis-
givings, but it is likewise an age of
preparation, a time that is fitting
young life for greater trials from
day to day as they advance along
the pathway.
And so, it is the duty of the par
ent to so guide, help and direct the
trudging little feet over the rough
places, through the bramble bushes
and up the steady ascent of the
highway, that the lessons of pa
thence, love and goodwill to others,
may leave an indelible impression
upon that young life until the
"love-everybody" is as integral a
part of life as living oneself. In

NO INSULT INTENDED.
Colombian Minister Corrects I'm
preston Conveyed by Newspapers.

Gen. Ospina, the Colombian minister.
has authorized the following statement:
THE Colombian minister regrets ex-
ceedingly to notice that some American
newspapers in the headlines of their
dispatches, treat his letter to Acting Sec
rotary of State Wilson as an insult to the
United States and also to Secretary Knox
personally. He wishes to disavow in the
strongest possible manner any such in
tention as thus ascribed to him. No
such thought ever entered his mind, nor
can be believe that any fair-minded per-
son reading his letter could place so I'M
just an Interpretation upon it. 1t was
intended &c he couched. and is couched,
in polite and considerate language, and
was written to avoid any possible I'M
pleasantness to Secretary Knox by a
visit to Colombia which Gen Ospina, for
the reason stated in hisfcommunication ion,
personally believes to be inopportune, be-
cause the citizens of Colombia are nat
urally deeply 'aggrieved to find their
country the only one in the whole world
with which the United States refuses
to enter into a treaty of arbitration.
Gen. Ospina wishes 1t to be distinctly
understood by the press that, with the
very kindest feelings toward all Ameri-
can newspapers. he must be permitted
to decline responsibility for an unauthor-
lied views purportiDg to emanate from
him in reference this incident

DELAY IN RAY PROBE

Said to Have Been Found.
TO CALL CHARLES P. TAFT
President, It Is Said, May Withhold
Nomination Of Paymaster to Be
Lieutenant Colonel.
TO CALL CHARLES P. TAFT

Pending further search for missing
documents in connection with charges
against Maj. B. B. Ray, army paymas-
ter at Chicago, and consideration of the
line Of inquiry to be pursued, the House
committee on expenditures in the War
Department held no meeting today.
The discovery that some important
communications in connection with the
Ray charges and threatened court-mar-
tial proceedings were missing from the
War Department files is regarded as OF
UTMOST Importance by the committee
and for this rea son it's plans have been
altered.
Today 1T was declared the committee
has located copies of the missing docu-
ments, prepared by an officer who
thought the originals might disappear
Meantime, an effort is being made tc
fix responsibility for the missing orig.
inals.

Taft: Gen. Edwards of the insulal
bureau; Gen. Franklin Bell, Adjt. Gen
Ainsworth, retired, and many other of
ficers of the army will be called al
witnesses.
1t is intimated that the President will
withhold the nomination Of Maj Ray tc
be lieutenant colonel in the pay depart.
ment, at least until after the House com.
mittee has concluded it's investigation OF
that officers case. The recent promotion
of Col. George r. Smith to be paymaster
general. vice Gen. Whipple retired, open
ed the way for the automatic promotion
of Lieut.. Col. H. S. Wallace to be colonel
and of. Maj. Ray to be lieutenant colonel.
The general opinion at the War Depart
ment is that, under the law, the Presi-
dent must either nominate Maj. Ray to
the higher grade or block the promotion
of all his juniors.
There is nothing in the existing situa-
ton to prevent the nomination of Lieut.
Col Wallace as colonel. The confirma-
ton of that officer, however. would not
remove the block in the promotion OF
majors 1t is held that the President is
not at liberty to pass over Maj. Ray in
favor of any officer below him on the
list. AS Maj Ray is now under fire in
Congress. it remains for the President to
decide whether the present is an oppor-
tune time to submit his nomination to
the Senate, with the chances in favor OF
his not doing so.

bill of less than ten lines, introduced
