The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1930-08-15

Great clapplng or hands follow
ed Jacks speech.
Grace and Beauty" we're ex
amined, and commented on will
much interest, and voted decided
ly handsome Sin their way.
Their general color was green
ish brown, notified and spotted
with reddish brown and yellow
the sides green and black; the
under part yellow, notified will
orange. The eyes were POSITIVELY
beautiful, of a rich chestnut hue
covered with golden white dots
which shone with a metallic las
ter. The skin of the body wa,
puckered into longitudinal folds.
By general consent they were
remanded to the swamp.
Shortly after our return t.
Rockburg, my wife drew my at
tention to the somewhat neglect
ed state of our dear old summer
residence at Falconhurst, begging
me to devote some time to its
restoration and establishment.
This ! most willingly undertook.
and we removed thither as soon
as the boys had completed the
arrangement of the artificial salt
lick to their satisfaction.
At Falconhurst things were
quickly in good order, and we
made a great improvement by
completing the broad terrace sup
ported on the arching roots OF
the trees-st was better floored
and rustic pillars and trellis-
work sustained a bark roof which
afforded a pleasant shade.
After this was done, | was
compelled to consent to a plan
long cherished by Fritz, who
wished to construct a watch-tower
and mount a gun on Shark Island.
After great exertion, both mental
and bodily, this piece of military
engineering was completed; and
a flagstaff erected, on which the
guard at this outpost could run
up a white flag to signal the ap-
proach of anything harmless from
the sea, while a red flag would
be shown on the least appear
ance of danger.
To celebrate the completion of
great work, which occupied
us during two months, we hoist
ed the white flag, and fired a sa-
lutte of six guns.
CHAPTER XVI
I'VE spend our years as a tale
IS told" said King David.
These words REQUIRED to me
again and again as l reviewed
EN- years, of which the story lay
;hronicled in the pages of my
Journal.
Year followed year; chapter
;ucceeded chapter; steadily, i'm
,erceptibly, time was passing
way.
The shade of sadness cast on
ny mind by retrospect of this
lind was dispelled by thoughts
ull of gratitude to God, for the
Welfare and happiness of my be-
owed family during so long a per-
cd. | had cause especially to re-
dice in seeing our sons advance
o manhood, strengthened by early
for lives of usefulness
nd activity wherever their lot
night fall.
And my great wish is, that
Dung people who read this rec
I'd of our lives and adventures
hould learn from it how admir-
bly, suited is the peaceful, indus
and pious life of a cheer
ii, united family, to the forma-
ION of strong, pure, and manly
haracter.
None take a better place in the
reat national family, none are
appier or more beloved than
lose who go forth from such
ONES to fulfill new duties, and
, gather fresh interests around
lem.
Having given a detailed account
several years residence in New
witzerland, as we liked to call
II dominion, it is needless for
e to continue what would ex
the patience of the most
ng-~suffering, by repeating monot-
Illus narratives of exploring par
and hunting expeditions, wear
ONE descriptions of awkward in
sntions and clumsy machines,
it'll an endless record of discov-
les, more fit for the pages of
/ encyclopedia than a book of
mily history.
Yet before winding up with the
including events, l may mention
me interesting facts illustrative
our exact position at the time
csc took place.
Rockburg and Falconhurst con-
lued to be our winter and sum
headquarters, and improve
ants were added which made
more and more convenient,
well as attractive in appear
ce.
The fountains, trellised Keran-
s, and plantations round Rock
rg, completely changed the char
ter of the residence which, on !
count of the heat and want of
