There is no vttgetation but a

t:rht, ~tern's mountain; each forming a scant mo@s and an occasional raspberry vine of the great range which ends, s0 far to grace the rocks and clay. ''fis true ~n~

my view is concerue<l, with Mt. Blan~o to will find an occasional tr'ee.-..trnnk lyhig e left abd the Spanish Peaks to the right. outetretcbed over the rocks. At one time rnigbt iu front of me as I stand in the the trees grew at a bighe~ altitude than at ddle, the slope falls v_ery abruptly for se\' · present. They have never again re7cbad the ·al tlwusand feet, and tloally spr.-a«b into exalted height they occupied before the great

beautiful Huerfano valJey wbicb is ten forest fires laid the once thriving growth twt> nty miles wide, fringed on the other of pine and spruce in charred heaps over all e by a high range of mountains wbiob, the mountains in the \'lcinity.

ith their gray walls, make the contrast all I do uot try to climb strnigbt up the 8!'ea~r as oqe glances from thetn to the mountaiD side but skirt uound the moon·

tail\ taking a less ttlope which makes the climb less rnduuus but longer. .

I at length reach the anmmit, and no''' a great­e r and gra1nder view t hnn before ill sprOild out. before ·my ga1ze. To the Eust nre the greut prairies of Eastern Oulurodu and Western Knn81l8, and my view in this direction is limited ouly by the hn1.e or" distance and the limitation nf the physical aye. Over .the gre11t exp_ause,()ne s~t>s nit_ oeca~ionnl Joke like n apeck in the disttlnce. Other than this there is nothing te break the m~notony o{~rairie and sky

·ror there is scarcely a tree to be seen. A little to the North and East a rainstorm is having its play. It seems quite insigniflcaut from where I stand but J{o

• doubt is quit-e a storm to those in it. The railroad winds dimly into the .distance and•I watch a traiu ,sit m.-awls on and on and finally faHfes into uoth· ingness.

On a spur of the mountain which extends to thA northeast a Mexrcan. is minding a flock of sheep. He sits complacent on a log while his faithful dogs make their rounds and keep the sheep from b~9om- , ing :toattered. If one of the sbeep.seenis to strny too far from the rest, the dog gets 011 the other side of 'liim and very quietly walks him hack to the rflst of the flock.

One cannot help wouct.ering wh t kina of n . life it mi1et be, to be alou'e with his ehJep and doge for months at; a time on a motu?taln , with only a blanket and a bed of Spruce bo\1glls for hie borne. ·

To the North is the Jluerfano valley spoken of before, but many soft, fleecy olouds are floating in it OO\V eo I cannot sea tho fields below, but . the

· great wh;te clouds, skirted by tho beautiful green fringe of Sprtice and Pine and. over these the gray mountain ~al18, is beyond d~scription . 0:1e feels as if he could walk right ovea· the top of t.ho clouda and he can appreciate t.he .Prophecy of the' ~aster coming in clou~s of glory. /

·. ·' . Far off to the north a hpndred miles/ or more, . ·· 011~ sees t i!.& snowy snmmit f Pikes Peak as it

towers above the au,rrouuding mt>untaine. West· ward from it · a great snowcnpped range extends for many miles with a splendor 'and beauty· I ehnll

· not attempt to desoribe. 'l'o th"e Wast and North, Mt. Blancc towers higher even than · the mountain on which I staod. Jul't now a great e~1owetorm is playing around its massive top and one is reminded of the God's of old bow they won ld play their ganies on Olympia's snored crest. ;('

To the West, spur after spur extends at right angle frum the main range and parallel to ~ach other aud to Stern's and Grayba'lk. 'rhe succession

. -of canyon nud mountains ~11 ~ov&red wit~ verd t:re is OVercoming and the rnind shrinks from every ' :I I·

tempt at d~scription. .

Grnyba9k lies some fl~e hundPed feet below " ll'.

dotted hore nnd there with many yellow spots •n· dicnting where the miner has followed his little lend fur n few feet to get. through t.h~ subsoil !11)d louse rook to .the main formntinn in order · to ~o~ el' whether t.he leud is of any "{lermnnent. vnlue,- if it. mny lend t.o a vein near by.

These prosveot.s ar~ fnr more t:~nn1eroiul thnn one would think, as the mountain is fairly, shot fnl i of these little leads and most of them have one or more of these prospective works on it; some show. ing considerable labo~ and expense. Chief among these, about half way np the mountain may be seen the tunnel of the Mountain View Mi.ning nnd Mill· ing company: · Its name is very appropriate, for' while the view· i~ much more limited than the one 'from which I stnud, yet it has .au expnnse of scenery tbnt is seldom equalled. Several hundred feet nbove · the tunnel , may be seen n log cabiu which was tht

I pioneer residence of this company and ' tis thtm that. a number of t.he most pleasant days of my life were sp('~lt. It is n flnt, .one roome~ cabin, with n dirt roof aud bot on'e door and oue window, and no l'retense.at beauty. Below the tunnel, in the botr tom of the canyon, may be seen some new cabins and diggings. These ~re the present ~ulpr~tentious quarters of a company, whic4 may some day startle the world with its wealth and which will make Me· Pherson College one of the best endowed of our land.

It ie imposaible to comprehend the amount of l~bar expended on these prospects, by · the sturdy auountaineer, in his searo~ f.or1 the h_iddeu treasures of the earth. Even where I stand on this barren mountain top one seijs his work and the stone shows that even here are traces of the valued metal. Grny· baok has not been exempt from the ruthlesnoss of the fire, and it brings a feelhtg of ' sadness, to !Hill

~he thousands of barren Sprnce· and Pine st.nndi ng or lying with their splendor and magnificence sink~ ing slowly but surely into oblivion. And whl t makes it sadder still is th'e fuct that it is not .pine nnd spruce t'hat is coming np in their stead, but. t~1e ,.. asp, which,\n their selfishness, have sprting np so

· thick that no matter how rn11Cb time they· ll'lay bnvc they will never be other than a little, scrubby, quaking asp. Occasionally one ~\·ill fitid a . few of the good old pine and spruce which th~ fire w~s l !•l l·

able to reach ·beoause of the atirroouding soil boi .1g too stony to support sufficient nnd\lrgrowth to J<',td the fite to where 'they stood.

To the South the mountain ot1 which I stnnd x.tonds for some mrles: and 011 this' quite. a numl>er

those ori~inal mouutnineers have beeu allowed to nd . This is known to the bunter ns a fnvorite ort for det>r and big game. Between this and

The stem part is ilboClt 20 Inches long .and 1 inch square, twist­ed. so as·"to give it the appearance of the threads on a coarse screw. The lower end is nauened out like a small paddle or scraping utensil. The cross piece at the top end is about-4 inches loog and has hooks at each end. . Though called a "coin," it is of such a curious mold that it would never be taken•for such by the uniniated. Here is a copy

ln'\nswer to your letter of Nov. 6th., in reference. to sp~cimens. His Excellency Governor Pretip desires me to present to you this enclosed specimen of native iron money as a small contribution. It is still in circulation in the remoter parts of the Protectorate of Sierra Leone· and the .value is about one shilling in English money.

· His Excellency desires me to wish the McPherson College every 'success.

They Give Programs. Miss Ullrey is making some dates at other 'places for

recitals and public programs by her elocution classes. . Last Friday night they gave a program at Miss Hecjte~ thorne's school house 3 miles west of to~and next Wed­nesday night it will be at Della Vaniman's school !en miles nonhwest. No, the bad rol\9s don't bother such a class. Never. They never mind little things like that! ·

A Chlld Study Class. "Bxcept ye become as. LITTLE .CHILDREN ye can

not enter the kingdom of God.'' This significant state~ ment by the Master Teacher is as high authority and as suffici~nt a reason as any ,one need want for interesting himself in finding out how a lit1le child is. Prompted by such motives, Prof. Clement has formed a club for this express purpose. By observing child impulses, by cor­rectly interpreting child motive, by observing carfully •rift correctly the expression or child lite and by reading the

· best authors obtainable on such subjects, such as Trum­bull, Hall, Du Bois, it is expected that great progress may

· be made in this absorbing problem. The club meets on Fridays. A number of the mothers of the Hill have sought membership and others are likely to when they hear how &ood a thing it Is.

This is the question.., Prof. Hamley asked Prof. Clement when Her.bert Detrick took the platform in Chapel and began to recite the careers of 'the great men of·the eanh from julius So­crates Caesar on down. lt'was a pretty long speech until he came to a place where the fog got thin, but·it was clear then that Prof. Hamley was to enJoy a birthday anniversary Dot­zour and Landes began to shuffle in the the back pan or the room and slowly pushed down the aisle a fine new of­flee'chair.

There were nine colleges represent· ed in the contest this year, though two others were entitled to representation, but had no delegate. Beckner gave the oration published in the last issue of RAYS OF LIGHT, but got snowed under so deep that he hasn't been heard to cheep since. We fear he may be dead before the excavators reach him! He was heard to remark however, that he goi all he deserved. First honors were awarded to the orator: from Baker, who discussed the subject "The Prohibition Pany."

But what we staned out to say was that McPherson College is to have the hop or of entertaining the convention next year and in the meantime furr.· ishes the Secretary for the State As· sociation.
