There Is beauty In the ocean.
In the dark waves that rise and fall.
There Is beauty>iAthe heavens.
In the red suns fiery glow,
There is beauty In the white clouds
And in the moons soft pale glow.
There IL beauty in the twinkling
OF the stars In yonder dome,
But there is no form Of beauty
That compares with that of Home.

II became apparent that the moose
would not bulge. the train was stop
ped and the passengers had ample
opportunity to gaze upon the noble
animals for some time. After an in
terval tho train was again started
and the animals, grudgingly gave
way to the extent of moving of the
railroad track, but they followed the
train for some distance.
