We could see the outlines of the mountains and the lights of the cities far away and campers nearer. The little Irishman told us if we could stand it 'till we got past "windy point" we would probably make it, as most that failed did so be­ fore they got there. So far we were not a bit tired and thought it a great snap. But for a mile and a half above the office there is a grade of 1350 feet to the mile to windy cat We began to feel the altitude here and stopped often for breath because we had to, and when we rounded "windy point" we were sweating some, so when the oold wind struck us it seemed to go right through us. The moon ardfee about the time we passed windy cut and we would think every next bend would bring us in sight of the summit but we would round it and see another, way up ahead. After passing windy cut we could see the lights of Cripple Creek and Victor. Here the wind blew a gale and nearly picked us off our feet, a gust caught me off my balance once and nearly rolled me down the bank. I might have been rolling yet if it had. We are now above timber line, and rocks, which had been so far of massive solid granite, look if some one had scattered large cobble atones from the top. Just as we began to think there was no top to the peak we saw the summit house and danced a jig on the plank walk leading to it at a quarter to one After pounding at the doors a while we succeeded in arousing the clerk in the lunch room and paid a quarter apiece for the privelege of -warming up 'till daylight Mr. Claxton eat on a bench and dropped asleep, but I stretched out on the floor near the coal fire and -with some kindling wood for a pillow--never had a bed feel softer--and slept 'till I was aroused by the guide we had seen below, coming in at four o 'clock. I heard him tell the clerk wjfch a laugh: "Say there was a oouple of fellows down at the springe inquiring about the trail up here. One was a tall, heavy, young fellow, the other older and shorter and they had a satchel for their grub and specimens. 1 guess they thought some of following the burros but I told them they would be dead if they did, so I guess they hit the road. They'll never make it to­ night in this wind. I've been over the trail a good many years and never saw the like of it. D--n it when we roiwded the cut it nearly blew the burros off their feet I'll bet that satchel feels as big as a Saratoga trunk by this time." As the rest of the party came in now we got up and drank a cup of coffee. If I looked like they did you would have thought I had been drawn through a knot hole. One of them had to stop at the half-way house and one was pretty sick when he got to the top. They all looked haggard and worn. But it didn't effect Mr. Claxton in the least, judging from appearances. The sun rose at 4:35 and though they said it was not so pretty as sometimes, we thought it was fine. A bank of white clouds 2000 feet or more below us hid the country below, while if it was clear we could have seen 200 miles. The thermometer stood at 37 and ice had frozen nearly i inch thick during the night, the wind making the change all the more appreciated. North of the house is a hole called the bottomless pit. There is a railing you can lean on and look over into a hole nearly perpendic­ ular 2 or 3 thousand feet deep. Mr. Claxton stepped on a loose stone and the wind caught him and he can thank his lucky stars he didn't go over like the man from Iowa did a few years ago The coroner went down and held the inquest on what he could find and left turn there as no one furnished the money to pay his funeral expenses. They have got the charging business down pat at the summit house. They would charge for the wind if they could corner it There used to be -s U. S. signal station there but it is not ; there now. There is a private post- office where you can mail a postal to your friends if you wish. It's strange that way up there 14 thousand feet above the sea you'll find growing among the rocks snow and ice, flowers of nearly all colors. Last year on the 25th of June the clerk said he shoveled drifts 18 feet high away from the doors and windows but this year there was very little. One couple that stayed over night to see the sun rise had to leave before and walk down to a lower level, as they were sick to the stomach all > night Unless one is sound all around it will effect you some whore. Some it effects the stomach, causing pains or vomiting, others bleed at the nose, •:i, some the lungs and heart. Both of us v had a dull pain at the base of the brain » but otherwise felt first rate. We r started down at 6 and stopped to pick '• flowers and find specimens on the way so that it was about 2 o'clock when we got to the bottom. Perhaps many readers of the Plaindealer have read descriptions of the cog road, the most £ wonderful railroad in the world, those " who have not and wish to read the 1 history of it can get it by asking for it .. of my folks. But I have endeavored to give you a tenderfoots impression of a - Jftikc to the summit. The engineer told W-' tig next morning that 18 had passed that morning to walk to the top but had all gone back not having got past the half-way house. While there are many who walk up, he said we saw a fair average of those who succeeded that tried. There are many that can­ not even ride up. We passed the bal­ ance of the day in the springs and city where I looked up my baggage and the prospects for work. I found there were to many poor people in both places for their health to make wages an object to stay. There are lots of people there from Texas and Kansas as yon will notice in their speech and accent. Fri­ day we went to Cripple Creek and Victor over the Midland and Rock on the Short line and Saturday took in the north and south Chyenne canons. If I were to choose the prettiest and most pleasant of Pike's Peak, garden of the Gods, Short line or north and south Cheyenne cannons, I would say north and south Cheyenne canons by all means. I wish I could show all mv friends the beautiful and grand places to be seen here but can only say come and see for yourself if you can spare the time and you will never regret it. It's the only way they can be appreciated. CHAS. NORDQUIST. Poisoning tho System. It is through the bowels that the body is cleansed of impurities.

Mr. and Mrs. George Hartlett of Greenwood were visiting in Chicago last week. The four-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Beatty died at the home of its parents in this city on Monday morning after a brief illness of inflamation of the brain. Chria. Wendt was run over during the mule race on Friday and had his collar bone fractured. The little son of Joe Schlinski was thrown out of a buggy last Friday dur­ ing a runaway and had his leg broken in two places. Dr. Windmueller at­ tended him. The house on the Peter McCue farm in Greenwood caught fire from.some un­ known cause last Saturday afternoon and only the prompt work of some men who were passing at the time saved it from entire destruction. The roof of the honse was considerably damaged. Barney Terwilliger was the victim of a runaway accident last Friday. He was thrown from his cart on Calhoun street in front of the residence of John A. Dufield and was badly cut about the face and considerably bruised. Albert Wienke purchased the North­ rop house, corner of Judd and Tryon streets. The home of Mr. and Mrs. August Peters in Greenwood was gladdened on Wednesday by the arrival of a daughter. Edwin Kemmerling was severely burned on the leg on Thursday evening by the explosion of a box of caps in his pocket. Mrs. Julia Cowen left on Monday for an extended visit with a son in the West. About eighteen months ago Mr. W. S. Manning, of Albany, N. Y., widely known in trade circles as the representa­ tive of the Albany Chemical Co., was suffering from a protracted attack of diarrhoea.

I noticed a doe lying down b.v herself In a grassy hollow, and as I passed uer at a dis­ tance of about fifty yuids it struck me n» singular that she kept her head so low down that I could only see tho top of it on a level with her back. Walk­ ing round to get a better sight, L saw a Jackdaw standing on the turf before her, very busily pecking at her face. With my glass I ^as able to watch her movements very closely. He pecked round her eyes, then her nostrils, her throat and in act every part- of her face, and, Just as a man when being shaved turns his face this way and that under the gentle guiding touch of the barber's fingers and lifts up his chin to allow the razor to pass beneath It. so did the doe raise and lower and turn her face about to enable the bird to examine and reach every part with his bill. Finally the daw left the face and, moving round, jumped on the deer's shoulders aud began a minute search in that part Having finished this, he Jumped on to the head and pwked at the forehead and round the bases of the "ears. The pecking done, he remained for some seconds sitting perfectly still, looking very pretty with the graceful red hoad for a stand, the doe's long ears thrust out on either side of him.--Birds and Man. , Amaion Ant Garden*. Dr. E. Ule contributes to Engler's Jahrbhch (supplement 30) some Inter­ esting observations on "ant gardens" in the Amazon region, where they abound on a large number of goody plants. They are generally spherical in form and about the size of a walnut. They are formed by several species of ant, which appear to collect the seeds of many different plants and to sow them in these nests, covering up the seedlings with humus when they begin to germinate. In the structure of these "ant epiphytes" the foliage and the roots display characters which espe­ cially adapt them for the situation In which they grow and promote also the protection of the ants themselves in their nest. Quite a number of the epiphytes were found as denizens of the ant gardens and nowhere else. The Biggeit Not the Beat. A New York dealer who has han­ dled shiploads of fruit said recently: "It is often amusing to see men, wom­ en and children picking out, as they be­ lieve, the choicest fruit at the market stands. If there are a half a dozen large oranges within sight, they will have them, even^if it Is necessary to overturn all the rest in the box or bar­ rel, and this is true with most all other varieties that are sold by t||e piece or dozen. They invariably get the poorest specimens of the whole crop and yet are not aware of it. Very rarely you will find a person who Is a good Judge who will at once size up the heaviest oranges, lemons or bananas, regardless of size, and they capture the choicest fruit" Why Two BMI Are Wecceeary. Bound travels by waves radiating from a central point of disturbance, just as waves radiate when a stone is dropped into still water. So far as the hearing of each individual is concerned these waves move in a direct line from the cause of the sound to his ear, the impact being the greatest in the ear nearest to the source. This being the case, a person who has totally lost the sense of hearing in one ear, although he may Imagine that the defect Is of little consequence, cannot locate the di­ rection of a sound to save his life, even when the center of disturbance is quite near him. A Literary Light. A short time ago a well known writ­ er of London, remembering that he had never read the noncanonical books, went out In search of a copy and In one bookshop after another drew blank. At last he went to his own par­ ticular newspaper shop, which also dealt In Bibles and light literature. Have you the Apocrypha?" he asked. For a moment the young woman be­ hind the counter was puzzled; then, brightening, she said, "Is it a weekly or a monthly ?" I'M'" Mixed Metaphor. London is laughing at the following recent brilliant exordium on the part of an English politician: "We shall pever rest until we see the British lion walking hand in hand with the flood­ gates of democracy."--8t, James Ga- sette.

In Switzerland the bride on her wed­ ding day will permit no one, not even her parents, to kiss her upon the lips. In many of the provinces the cook pours hot water over the threshold aft­ er the bridal couple have gone in order to keep It warm for another bride. A favorite wedding day In Scotland Is Dec. 31, so (that the young couple can leave their old life with the old year and begin their married life with the new one, surely a pretty idea. Tho Italians permit no wedding gifts that are sharp or pointed, from which prac­ tice emanates our superstition that the gift of a knife severs friendship. One of the most beautiful of all marrloge customs is that of the bride Immedi­ ately after the ceremony Hinging her bouquet among her maiden friends. She who catches It Is supposed to be the next bride. Word Dlindncia, Some curious Instances of the physic­ al defects of "word blindness" are giv­ en in the Lancet. The disease is for­ tunately uncommon. In one case tho sufferer, an Engllsman, thirty-four years of age, who knew Greek, Latin and French well, suddenly lost all knowledge of English, though he could read and understand Greek perfectly and Latin and French In a rathei smaller degree. Another and almost more curious case was that of a man who lost the power of reading at sight. This patient was able to write accu­ rately from dictation, but was com­ pletely unable to read whnt he had written. Word blindness is apparently akin to color blindness, but is certainly attended by much more inconvenient consequences. Odd riftot*. "What an inquiring mind Miss Light­ ly has!" exclaimed the cynic. "We were at an Italian table d'hote last evening, and she said, with a very kit­ tenish air: 'Oh. did you ever see maca­ roni growing?
