HOTELS IN THE OzARKS.


and eye-toward his remarks; but al
ter he has concluded we have just this
to say: Somebody will have to put
good hotels in the Ozarks before they
they can be enjoyed by city people
who are accustomed TO bath tubs,
proper table service, screens in the
windows, the best Of food in its season
and other OF the usual comforts to be
found at we'll patronized summer re-
sorts.
Roughing it does not attract the
crowd, and even those who profess to
love a bed Of boughs under an up
turned skiff wish to be within getting
back distances Of fluffy mattresses,
fresh milk and an orchestra at dinner
time.
The Ozarks cannot be successfully
glorifed unril these houses Of refuge
are installed on their noble peaks or
beside their sparkling rivers. They
are a very excellent substitute for the
Adirondacks, not quite so tall, but
much more rugged and far better
wooded. Perhaps they more nearly
resemble the Berkshire hills Of west
ern Massachusetts, popular outing
region, growing in the number Of its
visitors every year.
The Ozark region is full and running
over with sites for camping out, but it
has also a great plenty Of sites for good
three story hotels, with more or less
circumambient piazza an amply sale
distance from the most ambitious and
inquisitive chigger. Please keep off
the grass and the chiggers will keep
off YOU" on suitable bulletin boards,
disposed about the lawn, will serve tc
warn the guests where the place o.
greater safety is.-Globe- Democrat.
Well, what do you know about that
And now on this day comes Little
Willie, and complains that the Ozark'
cannot be glorifed until some one
will build few hotels with wide pi
azzs where said Willie Boy may lounge
in hammock and pollute the pure
atmosphere with the smoke OF a stink
ing Turkish cigarette, made in Hobo
ken, or St. Louis, u. S. A. And hi
also wants the best OF food and tresl
milk, and an orchestra at dinner time
The fresh milk that is served to tht
average city customer is tresh-irom
tin can-not fresh from good, health
COW that has the benefit Of the tende
grasses and delightful shade OF tn
Ozark hillsides, and the clear, coll
water of the sparkling streams. In tn
matter OF the food question, we'll, "
don't care to trade our chance Of thre
good feeds per day with those Of tn
average city dweller. OF course,
times, he may have a greater variet
OF food, but as to the quality, we wi
have to pass. Cold storage meats
eggs and butter, embalmed milk an
fresh fruits and vegetables from a r,
frigerator car. OF course, an orche
ira is a big help in the disposition
this kind Of food, but, did you ev
get up early in the morning down
these hills, take your trusty fShir
rod, and while the sun was slowly Ill
