Whenever it was possible. Mr.. Hum
phrey's party camped under q tree Often
there were none to be found within miles.
Once the party slept nat out on the I'm
sheltered desert.
'Oh, it was wonderful under the open
sky. L shall never forget the glorious
stars. We always slept out on the
ground on blankets. 1t was hard to
have to come back home and live in
closed-up rooms. For the longest time
after my hunting trips l would be unable
to sleep at all in the city
1t was impossible for the interviewer,
In her small, feminine comprehension. to
understand how any other woman would
be happy sleeping out on q. desert with
rattlers and tarantulas and bugs and
big-horned sheep and things curied up In
their beds or walking in their sleep in
the same neighborhood. Even Mrs. Hum
phrey's assurance that these creatures
never troubled her could not quite recon

was able to even think OF stars and the
heavens in such surroundings.
I'VE did have one experience that
frightened me for 4 whole night" Mrs
Humphrey recalled. We had had a long.
hard days ride and we were tired out
The guides told US that there was big
stream farther on in the desert If we
would just push ahead. We struggled
along for few miles. What had seemed
to our thirsty selves to be about the size
Of the Potomac river, from the guides
description, turned out to be little

inches deep. Even so, 1t was almost sal

Near the stream were hot springs.

them Rattlesnakes, too" Mrs. Hum
phrey was quite unmoved at the thought.
II never actually saw any. My husband
and the guides often came across them.
! must confess was not anxious to meet
one. So I asked the men not to tell me
when they discovered the reptiles. AS
long as I did not know Of the actual
nearby presence of a rattler / was not
alarmed.
We saw plenty OF tarantulas while we
were riding our mules. Yes. they are
poisonous. But / have found that if you
don't harm wild things they will not

Grains Up-Coffee Lower.

grain markets, with prices here showing
a net gain Of 1a,6lSsc. and the September
option in Chicago touching 692.c. and

no effect on the advance. Wheat prices
were governed by corn. and against high
ly favorable crop reports and estimates
Of much larger Yields than had been eX-
pected prices advanced &sd&c. Oats also
were Influenced by the heavier grain. but
had the added force Of much smaller
crop than had been estimated, and closed
at a net advance of an7sc.
There was heavy pressure Of offerings
in the coffee market. with both European
and Brazilian markets lower. The open

with other positions down to points,
and there was no recovery, the close
showing net loss for the day Of IS 10 Is
