They were speaking of the trials and
tribulations of the man in love the
other evening, when an appropriate
story was recalled by Senator w. r.
Oglesby of New York.
Some time since Johnny took the
darling of his heart to a restaurant,
where it cost many plunks to chew,
and although the dear girl had said
she wasn't bit hungry, she hastily
remarked chicken and all the attend
ant glories when the menu card was
placed before her. And all that John
ny could do was to watch her beautiful
appetite, and suffer in silence.

All this, which is literally true, is a

Grand canyon, and that is all you can
say.
1t is no mere cleft 1t is a terrific
trough 5000 to 1000 feet deep. ten to
twenty miles wide, hundreds of miles
long, peopled with hundreds of peaks
taller than any mountain east of the
Rockies, yet not one of them with it's
head so high as your feet, and all
ablaze with such color as no eastern or
european landscape ever knew. And
as you sit upon the brink the divine
scene-shifters give you a new canyon
every hour. With each degree of the
suns course the great counter-sunk
mountains fade away and new ones,
as terrific, are carved by the westering
shadows.
The Grand canyon country is not
only the hugest, but the most varied
and instructive example on earth of
one of the chief factors of earth-build-

things which make the Southwest
