(mark the term,) we're charged an adj
mission into thecamp, which consists
of a brush fence, two or three dogs,
five or six grown ups, and a half
dozen children, and a dazzling array
of flaming colored dresses and beads.
l think the purpose of our lady was to
secure one of these dresses. Prices
even in Seminole camps r like some
other things here in Florida, way up
yonder." The Colonel offered to get
one, even at the price, if Mrs. Green
would agree to wear it down town in
Mexico. Sorry to say, the Seminole
matron still has her dress.
Synodical College at Fulton should
get one of those dresses and pattern
the uniform of its students, who are
called Seminoles you remember, after
this style. 1t would be individualistic
to say the least. And yet with all the
flaming color these dresses are in far
better taste and are infinitely more
modest than many of the present
styles of the modern woman of fash
ion. Thus does the poor Indian teach
us if only we had the grace to learn.
We came back to town and then
went to call on some friends and kins-
folk of Mrs. Wallace. Sunday at
church ! saw on the folder the name
of Mrs. De Lacey Wardlaw as a teach
er in the Sabbath School. I surmised
that this was a cousin of Mrs. Wallace
who had spent some years in Brazil
as a missionary. We found her and
her husband out near Buena Vista
surrounded by thickly hanging trees
of orange and grapefruit. Our de-
light at meeting after a quarter Of {
century was of course mutual. Thu
Wardlaws were our guests at thu
meeting of Synod in 1889, and we haC
not seen each other since. Mrs. Greer
and Mrs. Wardlow found a mutua
friend in Mr.. Cooper, who is yet il
Brazil as a missionary. How strangel,

To the Ledger:
Dear Editor
/ have just returned from a pleas

went by way of the Santa Fe route

beautiful scenery, the Santa Fe excells
the southern route. 1t is a restful
trip, as the train stops at the Harvey
houses for meals and the traveller has
a chance to get off and that is rest
full. The air is so pure and there is
the most beautiful sun shine. The
mountains appear from the railroad to
be very close. / was told they were
! miles away.
The second day out, Mt. SanFran-
cisco came in sight ION the Santa Fe
route). The top of it was covered
with snow. I travelled all day before
we got to it.
I visited at Kingman, Ariz, the
county seat of Mohave County sit
uated in a little valley between the
Wallapai and Cerbat range, bring sur
rounded on every side by rolling hills
and high basaltic cliffs with beautiful
view of the high mountains to the
east. 1t is one of the most beautiful
towns on the line Of the Santa Fe rail

Manda Park, Calf, by way of Santa
Fe road. I crossed Mohave desert,-no
, vegetation at all, not even cactus. The
whole surface of the desert was white
with Alkali, strangers would take il
, for snow. I could imagine. the forty
miners crossing with their wagons and
