soon as the afflicted one has in
dulged in an expenditure of SLIGO
for admission, red lemonade, cir
Gus peanuts, etc., he is restored to
a normal condition.
With some the disease manifests
itself in an inclination of the indi-
vidual to possess himself of works
of art from the hands of the old
masters. This furnishes a more or
less lucrative business for the am
bilious artist who, in the privacy
of his humble third f1oor-back,"
makes a neat reproduction of a
Rembrandt, Raphael, or an Ange-
10, and submits the same for the
inspection of the prospect" as a
masterpiece"
So at Colorado Springs and
Manitou, while there were offered
for sale a varied assortment of
novelties, the piece de resistance
was Indian goods. Blankets, bead
work. bows and arrows, moccasins,
etc. And the venders, realizing
how great would be the disappoint-
ment of the tourist, and how ag-
gravated would be the disease, if
they should run short of Indian
made goods, consummated a plan
whereby they could secure from
other sources artices made on ma
chimes by white labor and which
could be sold as genuine hand
made goods" By this ingenious
process two ends are served. First,
the tourist afflicted with spenditis
has at all times at least a tempor-
ary relief at his command. Second,
and merely incidentally of course,
the venders accumulate a pretty
snug bank account.
This, of course, in view Of their
large-hearted unselfshness in put
ting forth such strenuous efforts
in behalf of the temporary So
iourner in their midst. they are
fully entitled to. For the pur-
chaser, whose sublime faith in
humankind has not as yet been
shattered, believing that he is get
ting just exactly what the sales
man represents the goods to be,
the psychological effect is the
same as if the goods had been bona
6de land he has the gamblers
chance, for sometimes they are),
and the purchase of souvenirs re-
solves itself into a matter of
psychology after all.

An Ode To Nature
By Mr.. J. B.

All, friend; this is wondrous old world,
With its seasons of winter and spring;
And autumn, with beauteous life unfured,
With summer that wanes meath her wing.
In vain seek for words to recall
That may tell of the beauty we CLEAN:
Yet close to view this translucent pail
Nature smiles and is moulding unseen.
She smiles and moulds her own mystic way,
Filling fens with her glorious light;
There. flowers that droop from gladness of day,
Are all Graded by breath of her night.
With care she guides some laughing young stream
Thru the hours all timed-not too long;
How wonderful, after nights fair dream,
Is the morn as she greets with song.
How wise her course in filling the mart,
There are days, perhaps, shadowed with rain;
But life's more quicked and takes new start
As it feels the bright sunshine again.
All, friend; if we, like flowers in wake
OF the sunshine that sips up the dew,
Would drink the draught of Natures own make,
Then Joy most sublime would accrue.
Then naught could mar soul in its fight
For that tomb once incased with her song
Like flowers refreshed from the dew of the night
With the morn, each morn, would grow more strong.

to wit, the building of the Lucin
cutoff. That portion of the cut
off crossing Salt Lake covers dis
lance of 80 miles, that being the
distance between Ogden and Lucin.
For IL miles of this distance the
track Union Pacifc) is laid upon
an artificial dirt embankment, the
balance of the trackage being sup
ported by timber trestle. The
construction of this trestle was a
mans job, the lake being 30 feet
deep. The great benefit this cut
off is to the system is readily ap-
parent when one considers that it
shortens the route by forty-three
and three-fourth miles. Also it
reduces the maximum grade to one
in three hundred.
For two weeks we enjoyed the
pleasures afforded by the city, its
peoples. and the surrounding
country. Our stay being pro-
loneed that we might have the
privilege of attending a Sunday
service in the tabernacle to which
''gentiles" were admitted.
From Salt Lake we went to Yel-
lowstone National Park. A de-
scription of this jaunt would so
lengthen our narrative (which even
now. has grown to magnitude
far beyond our original intent,)
that instead of being a brief vaca-
tion trip, it would develop into a
task. We may, perhaps. journey
thru there in future series.
Leaving YellewstoneePark en-
route for Colorado Springs, we
came back via Salt Lake in order
that we might have another dip in
her healthful waters. Spending
one day in this beautiful mormon
city and at the beaches, we early
one morning entrained for our
eastward journey.
The scenery that glides swiftly
by within the range of vision of
the traveller from Salt Lake to
Colorado Springs, is sufficiently
diversified and interesting to make
the trip enjoyable. Some of it,
indeed, claims our undivided at
tention. To describe all the inter-
esting features of the trip would
be to weary the patience of our
readers assuming that such there
are), but there is one point in par
ticular that is worthy of mention.
This is place where the engineers
in locating the right-of-way came
upon what for time seemed to be
an insurmountable barrier to fur
ther progress. A wall of solid
granite lowered far above them
and sloped precipitately downward
to where huge boulders held out
hungry arms to receive in a death
dealing embrace whomsoever
should attempt to scale the wall
above them.
To tunnel thru this particular
place, as had been done in so many
other places along the line, seemed
impracticable. Neither did it seem
advisable to drill and chisel a
ledge upon which to build track
age. But men whose business it
was to overcome obstacles, were
not to be thwarted even tho a
mountain of granite defied them to
proceed further. Hence. great
holes we're drilled into the solid
wall, massive steel ''sleepers" were
inserted, whose outer ends extend
ed several feet from the face of the
wall. Some distance above these,
other holes were drilled and steel
supports inserted, from whose

- just that many times
have the invaders met
- with success. But this
time it was not exactly a walk
away for the visitors. Having
once before tried their mettle, the
home team contested hard every
inch of the way, and it was a great
battle. There was probably a
larger attendance of civilians than
has before graced our ball park on
similar occasions, and they lent a
splash of color to the scene. The
locals have faced excellent pitch
ing in the last few games and the
batting has taken a big slump.
Van held the VOLTS to eight hits
but these were all hard and timely.
Booth, who is not without fame as
a member of Brady's Colts, Hib-
bing, Mimi, started in the box for
the VOLTS, and had the home team
at his mercy. A ninth inning
rally was nipped with two on and
two out, when Shields tried to
come home on a delusive snap
throw from catcher to pitcher.
1t was a game we'll worth seeing
and fair proof that the VOLTS of
olden days were held in great re-
spect whenever they sailed forth
to do battle. Booth did some nice
hitting for the VOLTS, making a
perfect record of a single, double
and triple in three times up.
Brown drove out two doubles.
For the locals Della got on twice
by beating out infeld grounders.
Van pitched very good ball in
keeping the visitors to eight hits,
as this is the first full game he has
essayed since last May. The M.
S. P.'s now think they've got all
the strike. outs they intend to make
and expect to get back in the win
ming column next Saturday sure.
The game by innings:
7St:-Brown doubled to center
and passed ball advanced him to
third. North skied to Shields.
Avery flied to Fan. Ford singled
scoring Brown. In an attempt to
catch Ford off first Wag threw the
ball out into right field. Van
muffed Cowan's pop.fy putting
Ford on third, but Wag caught
him off the sack by a fast throw to
Brad. One run.
Brad out, Newman to Alexan-
der. Bran grounded to Alexander.
Bush singled and stole, but Wag
whitfield. No runs.
2nd:-Collins famed. Alex

a grass cutter to center which Fan
booted, allowing the runner to
take second. Booths single scored
him. Brown struck out. One run.

grounder and stole second. Page

SCRAPS GOOD FOR CHICKENS
ParIngs Left From Potatoes, Pump

Excellent Feed.

Save all the parings. potato, pump
kin, squash, apple, ETC., and when
you are cooking your MONDAY meal
cook these for the chickens. When it
has cooled, stir in enough wheat bran
to make stiff mash. This makes an
excellent but economical dinner. Give
them an occasional mess of parings
chopped fine without cooking. Tur-
nips and beets are much relished by
the fowls when eaten green.
If you have cabbage, take a small
sized head, fasten it to a wire and
hang low enough that the fowls can
reach it easily. You will be surprised
to see how quickly they will clean up
a cabbage in this way.
Don't feed your fowls milk in the
watering trough. Have a separate
trough for each. Be sure to feed a

EXERCISE FOR LAYING HENS
Erroneous Impression Prevails Among
Certain Poultrymen That Fowls
Should Be Kept Moving.

The matter of exercise for laying
hens is one Of great Importance to the
breeder, and one which means much
to the man who is producing eggs for
the market only. There is common
impression prevailing among certain
unenlightened poultrymen that fowls
should be kept on the move all day
long, but this is extremely erroneous,
especially in the case of winter egg
production, and 1t has been proved
most conclusively that fowl will lay
more eggs at lower cost when not
required to take an excessive amount
of exercise.

What they lack in size they gain in
egg production, being the most pro-
life of all breeds of geese. averaging
from so to 60 eggs year. In size,
aptitude to fatten, and ease of man
agement they appear in no respect in
ferior to other geese, while the quail
ity of flesh is decidedly superior.
They are exceedingly graceful in ap-
pearance, quite hardy, and the young
mature early. There are two varieties
of Chinese geese-tlie Brown and the
White. They have medium-sized
heads, with large knob at base of a
mediumlength bill, and long, graceful

New York, Nov. 1S.a~Pyedictions OF q
splendid" American merchant msrias
as a result OF the world war. and the
federal reserves act on shipping legis-
lation, were made here today by Steph-
enson Taylor. president of the Society
of Naval Architects and Marine En-
gineers. in a speech marking the OPEN
ing of the twenty-fourth annual meet
ing Of the organization.
The United States, he said, was max.
ing rapid strides in ship building.
Whereas between 1910 and 1914 this
country produced only az per cent OF
900 tons as against Great Britain's
so per cent of the annual world pro-
duction of 2.74O.0O0 tons, Mr.. Taylor
declared, Great Britain In 1918 would
produce 2.260,000 tons and the United
States $4,000. an Increase in IA per
cent for Great Britain and about per
cent for the United States over the fig.
ures for 1915.
The normal tonnage Of the world, sos
100000. has been sadly .enlatad by tha
war. said Mr.. Taylor. due to the de-
struction Of 100000 tons, the Intern
ing Of 100000 tons and the CONS
Wandering Of 100000 tons, leaving
available for service 28.s00,000 tons, or
57.2 per cent Of the normal tonnage.
Tfhs reduction was responsible for the
high marine freight rates.
American ship yards. the speaker
said. are building 100000 tons of steel
ships and $4,000 tons of wooden ves-.
sells to be completed in two years. One
third of them are for foreign nationA
To September last he said. 1876 foreign-
built ships with a tonnage Of S42.s42
were admitted to American registry.
