Where there was so much enthus-
iasm lin Washington three years ago)
over the ending (of war; there ought
to be some (and a plenty now for pre-
vention."
Colorado Springs is a city of about
10000 people. / like the place-espec-
tally its climate, in the direction that
it promotes health and life. John
Fish (your good Mr.. Fish, Of Mexico,
Mo.,) ought to make a visit out here,
he could tell all about it in the wittiest
and most entertaining wayLas he can
tell you about Boston, and New York,
and Philadelphia. This altitude puts
pep into your movements. If Arthur
Holmes in Mexico can walk eight miles
before breakfast each morning, how
far could he walk, with greater ease,
and his head up, in this altitude, in the
region of Pixies Peak? Ask S. d.
Stocks what I ought to say-and here
1 drop the subject.
o. E. Tucker, formerly Of Mexico,
is becoming a fixture out here, and is
as fat as a pig. DR.. w. H. Hickman
told me incidentally if 1 would come
out here and remain thirty days-and
behave myself would gain twenty
pounds in flesh. Well, I'm behaving,
and getting there"
Prof, Mark Skidmore, formerly a
teacher in the Mexico High School, is
a resident of the Springs and is a

a teacher in Mcmillan, at Mexico.
They have two lovely daughters.
Colorado Springs has the liveliest
Chamber of Commerce organization.
They are chasing something every day.
Just now they are turning things up
side down in the effort to land the
million-dollar National Methodist San
itorium for the Springs. The directors
for the S~anitorium meet in Chicago in
a day or two to decide the matter. All
Colorado has been persuaded to join
in the boosting for the Springs. 1t will
be the third national sanitorium for
this city, the other two being the Ma
tional Printers Home, and the Ma
tional M. W. A. Home.
This day l enjoyed a picnic in Rock
Greek canon with the following: DE-.
and Mrs. F. C. Zaugg and little son,
Frederick Beal Zaugg; Mr.. G. Zaugg
and daughter, Miss Harriet Zaugg; DR.,
and Mrs. T. HI. Winans and two sons,
Theodore and Gibson, and grandson,
Fonville Winans, and daughter, Mrs.
Carter Norris, and little son, John

grauious time together.
/ was hiking up Rock Creek canon
when / came suddenly to the end of
the road, and there sat, right across
the end of he road, a hut, a human
habitation, and near protruded UP out
of the earth a huge boulder on which
was printed in bold letters: stop. No
trespassing. No government fish.
Rock Creek Goatery. Swiss milk

before the end Of this paragraph you
may differ with me. / looked up the
mountain side and the eyes met a not
able picture, dozens of beautiful goats
scrambling about those high and dam
gerous heights. Some Of the little
creatures came down and neighbored
with me. The milk goat industry is
coming in this region. The "little

many families--for babies, invalids,
those who are wasting away, and also
for the strong. The Toggenbery, the
Sannen, and the Nubian seem to be
the favorite breeds. Holy Writ distin-
guishes the goat. Read in Proverbs:

enough for thy food, and for the food
Of thy household. The little animal is
called the friendliest, cleanest and
healthiest creature in the world.
