gradually, gently, a soft haze
- In the atmosphere. The dis
tant hills were enshrouded In purple.
In the woods there were a few first
yellow leaves on the gum trees. There
was crimson on the sumach bushes
along the fence rows and a CLINT of
gOldenrod in the fields and thickets.
The weather was dry, and a faint
touch Of GOODNESS in the evenings and
the whispering rustic Of dying grasses
stirred by the breeze gave hints of the
fast approaching fall. In the corn
fields the leaves on the stalks had
withered to dryness, and the ears were
bending downward, laden to the full
with grain. Thus was seen another
wise %precaution Of Nature to protect
the precious kernels. In this way rain
and moisture were shed from the ear
instead Of running down inside and
rotttng the corn. Every night Joe

'Thatll be fine, and you and me and

there's really four grades of corn ir

They were profuse In their express
siops of pleasure at getting a start Of

tons of Joe and his father as to how
he managed to get such a tremendous
crop from a small piece of land. AS
they adjourned to the acre Wilson and

Put three pounds of light brown sug-
AZ in an enameled kettle with three
fourths of a pound of butter. Place
over a moderate fire to melt; let it boil
until thick, stirring all the while to pre-
vent scorching. Take the kettle from
the fire and pour the boiling hot liquid
into buttered tins or upon a large fat
meat platter. When stiff enough mark
off into big squares, and when cold
break these apart and wrap each
square in wax paper. Butterscotch
carefully made will keep for months.

slowly.
1T means a heap more to him than

1t means bread and meat and a chance

We've got a home and feet on solid
ground; those people haven't. I can't

very earnest in what he said.
That's so, boy; that's So" said Mr..
Weston, gently putting his arm about
his sons shoulders.

year, and what it led to-" continued
Joe. Honest, now, daddy. you

The NATION rs SHOCKING
LY uHpREPARED.

1t Is apparent that we are
shccEinsly unprepared. There
is no room for controversy on
this point since the object les
son ca the Mexican border. All
our available regular troops
Qess. ! believe. than 100000 are
tnere or in Mexico, and a3 these
havc been deemed insufficient
the entire National Guard has
been ordered out; that is. we
arc summon!rs practically all
our movable military forces in
order TO prevent bandit incur
stoas. In view OF the warnings
OF the past three years. it is
ineScIsable that wo should find
ourselves in this plight. Fer
our faithful Suardsmen. who
with n fine patriotism responded
10 this call aud are bearing this
burden. have Jothing but
praise. But l think 1t little
short of absurd that wo should
be compelled to call men from
their shops, their factories. their
offices and their professions for
such purpose. This. however,
is not all. The units OF the Ma
tional Guard were at peace
strength. which was only about
one-half the required strength.
1t was necessary TO bring in d,
recruits. for the most part raw
and unframed. Only n snail
percentage OF the regiments re-
cruited UP to war strength win
have had even years training
in the National Guard. which at
the maximum means one hun
drcd hours OF military drill. and.
on the average. means much
less. Men fresh from their
peaceful enployments and ply
sically unprepared have been
hurried to the border for actual
service. They were without
proper equipment; without
necessary supplies; suitable
conditions of TRANSPORTATION
were not provided. Men with
dependent families wore sent:
and conditions which should
have been well known were dis
covered after the event. And
yet the exigency. comparatively
speaking. was not a very grave
one. 1t involved nothing that
could not readily have b.en fore
seen during the past three years
OF disturbance. and required
only a modest talent for organ
iyation. That this Administra-
ton while pursuing its course
In Mexico should have permitted
such conditions to exist is al
most ;ncrediblc.-From Mr..

Prosperity

In conversation with Mr.. Boyle,
the D. d R. G. agent at this noint,
Yesterday, while we watched the
the long strings of coal cars roll
rast, he remarked that shipments
were ahont 500 cars more than for
the same period last year, or an in
crease If 80 per cent. He said the
daily shipment averaged 30 cars,
and increasing steadily. This
cheering condition of things is due
to the fact that the mines are work
ing steadily and business in general
is steadily improving. A battery of
j coke ovens is now in commission
and is tn be greatly enlarged in the
near future. The hard coal mines
are doing better than for years. Es-
peciailN is this true of the Smith
Anthracite mine, at present, un-
der the able management of
Supt. John Arrott, in better con-
dition than for fifteen years.

are to return later in the year when
the water is lower, at which time it
is hoped that the remainder of the
distance can be made.
Getting out of the canon after de-
Gliding to give up the trip was as
strenuous, if not more so, than the
experiencein the river. Below them
was raging whirlpool, which was
plainly impossible, and returning
back up the stream was out of the
question. The only way seemed up

death at almost every turn Kolh

Thompson on Nernal mesa, where
he found Mr.. Thompson and anked
him if he could get them TO Mont

was thunderstruck to find they had
climbed out and said he would
most certainly help them any way
he could. : kolb was rather ragged
from the sharp rocks in the awful
hazard he took.
Kolb went back 70 the rimrocks
and again faced the yawning ctasm
below and crawled buck to where
his comrades were and again faced
death by inches many times. He
told them what to do, crawl up the
wall as he had done. 1t took him
two hours and half and they start

all tied To ropes. This they drew
up ct various stages and anchored,

hours in reaching the rim where
Thamp.on awaited them, almost tSn-
able to believe his eyes at the sight
of the four men, a boat and camera
coming up a wall that he never
dreamed a human being could ever
