years. She is a finished speaker and
her talk was one of the best heard

7 WAS THIS WAY
BY FRANK FILsoN.

Eyes, Mister, Coyotes Despair sure
Is a bit slow, and don't blame you for
thinking so. You see, this town hasn't
quite recovered from the shock we
had last month. 1t cleaned US out,
too, especially Abe Ffnkel and Sam
Corbett, and all through the scheming
Of Cy Holmes, a Yankee trader who
happened to be born, about an hour
earlier than the rest of us.
You see, it was this way. When Cy
Holmes opened his store on Main
street nobody thought he would last
long. There was Abe Finkel and Sam
Corbett holding the trade, and nobody
kicking at their goods. So Cy Holmes
just languished.
That is, until Miss Mabel come into
the game. Miss Mabel got down on
the stage about five o'clock one after
noon. The word had been passed, and
she hadn't hardly descended before
there was respectful and admiring
group around her.
Can any gentleman tell me where
1 can get accommodations in Coyotes
Despair she asked, turning up her IN
nocent blue eyes.
6SI MISS answers a nunUT0u
voices, and two hundred legs forms in
procession and escorts her to Bill
Flannigan's.
1T wasn't long before we learned
her story. She had been a school
marin back east, and the doctor had
ordered her to Arizona for her health.
She'd had enough money to get to
Coyotes Despair, and there she had
stopped.
IF Abe FinkeI and Sam Corbett had
had an ounce of sense-but what's the
use of talking? Inside of a week Miss
Mabel was the pride OF Holmes store
and the envy of them two. Cy
Holmes found trade was booming. As
for Coyotes Despair, there wasn't a
man between the age of eight and
ninety that wasn't in love with Miss
Mabel
q guess three-quarters of the town
proposed marriage to her during the
first two weeks. And Miss Mabel was

Mungo Park the First to Plunge Fear
IessIy Into the Heart of
Darkest Africa"

Mungo Park started out on his At
rican expedition-the first serious at
tempt that was ever made to explore
the dark contfnent"-11S years ago,
October "a, 1895. The Hon-hearted
set out from Gambia, on the west
coast. and plunged fearlessiy into the
task which, before him, no white man
had ever attempted.
1t took q real man to plunge into
the unknown interior, filed with tales
of the monstrous and the terrible.
Huge serpents, roaring lions, great
black cannibals, scorching heat, dead
ly fevers-who would dare to chal-
1enge these things. And so Africa re-
manned dark until yesterday, as it
were, while Moses was battling with
his problem in the Arabian wilder
ness; while civilization was maturing
in Egypt and Greece; while Roman
republics and empires were rising and
falling; while the modern nations
were coming into being; while Cru
saders were fighting, and troubadors
were singing; while Columbus was
discovering the new world, and Wash
ington was founding the United States
of America.
But at last the man and the hour
met, and the son of the Selkirkshire
farmer took his brave leap into the
mystery. In the mystery he remained
a year and a half, when he reap
peared, returned to England and
wrote Travels in the Interior Of At
RIGA" a book which is still one of the
most interesting in the libraries of
the world.
In tbs year 1905 Mungo Park start
ed on his second trip to the dark
continent-a trip from which he was
never to return. Resolved, with true
Scotch grit, to discover the mouth
Of the Niger or perish in an attempt"
PARK pushed on through the painless
forests until he reached a point be-
tween 9 and 10 north latitude, where,
in attempting to make his escape from
the natives who were about to kill
him, he was drowned in the mighty
stream, which should be accepted IS
his most fitting mOnument-ReY. T.
