HE dream of years was
soon to he realized as
our hunting party
boarded the Northern
Pacific train which
waa to carry us to the
western part of Mon-
Our party was com-
posed of H. R. Anne-
ling Charles Hedges Bert Hill and
myself.
After an interesting ride through
the pines and past the small ranches
along the Big Blackfoot river we ar-
. rived at the town of Ovando and took
Quarters at the Goodfellow Hotel.
After supper we found "Marsh" our
guide and began mixing medicine for
; the big hunt. We Inquired as to the
prospects of game such as none of us
had ever hunted. We finally agreed
to hunt for the following: Deer elk
goats and possibly a bear as our twe
weeks' time was not sufficient to
make the trip to
- ue sheep coun-
try. The following
morning was
spent in packing'
. up and talb'ng
with the numer-
ous :ides as
83ut 30 per cent
'of the town's in-
habitants follow
this occupation.
Shortly after
noon our train
composed of
eight pack
horses six saddle horses and three
colts started on the sixty-mile Journey
to our proposed camp.
We had traveled but a few miles
north from the village and into the
timber when we came to the well-
j blazed line which marks the southern
I boundary of the Lewis and Clark Na-
tional Forest within which Glacier
National Park has recently been cre-
ated. Along the well-defined trail we
were ' Continually reminded by the

steep that we would often dismount and lead the
horses across.
The valley at this point widens out into an
open park of several hundred acres railed the
"Big Prairie" which is now fenced and used as a
horse pasture by the forest rangers. At the lower
end of this pasture the river makes a wide de-
tour arouud the vertical bluffs the trail going
over the top Joining the river again near the con-
fluerce of the White river and the South Fork.
Here we made our permanent camp in a small
open park.
For three days we had heard Marsh tell of his
seventeen years' experience in that part of the
country as guide trapper and hunter which made
us all the more keen to try our skill on the game
for which we had made the long Journey.
On the morning of October 1st as soon as it
was light enough to see. Bert and Charles crossed
the river to look for elk near the lick we had
passed the day before. Heiny Marsh and I went
up on the mountain back of our camp to look for
goats while Ben set to work fixing up the camp.
We hunted along the top of the mountain for
"a short distance when presently Marsh called our
attention to what he thought was a goat lying
out on a point of rocks on the west side and sure
enough it settled all doubt by getting up and
walking out Into plain view. We decided at once
to try for this one. It was necessary to walk
back a mile to a point where we could get down
onto a ledge which we could follow or half crawl
along back to the place where we had seen the
goat. This ledge was covered with slide rock
and made walking dangerous and It was Impos-
sible to proceed nolpelessly as we would start
rocks to rolling over the edge every few steps.
Xt length we reached the belt of timber which
hid the goat pasture. Heiny took the right side
of the ridge and I the left and we began to move
toward the spot where the goat had been seen.
We had gone but a short distance when I heard
a shot and going in his direction I saw him and
Marsh. Heiny had shot the goat which ran out
near the edge of the cliff and fell lodging against
the roots of an upturned spruce. It proved to be
an old one with two of its lower teeth missing.
We took the skin head and part of the meat on
whp.t proved to be a most hazardous trip as the
west side of the mountain is a series of narrow
lodges.
Banks of cloud were rising in the west. After
two hours of strenuous walking through the un-
derbrush and windfalls we came out into the
park back of our camp Just as it began to storm.
Neither Charles nor Bert were in camp and on
my part at least were the cause of some uneani-
ness as it was raining and both had left camp
with only light sweaters.
In the morning as it was growing light I gazed
out through the tent-fly to see the mountains
white two-thirds of the way down. A few min-
utes later I heard a shot up the river which I
immediately answered .with a couple more.
Shortly after Bert and Charles were wading
across the stream to camp. They had shot a
deer within a mile of the camp and had found a
bunch of elk which they followed until night
j2ach was unable to find the other and both con-
sidered ijt dangerous to try to walk to camp in
the darkness and gathering storm.
The following day was spent hunting through
the river bottoms and lower benches but without
results only a few deer being seen.
That evening we decided on a strenuous hunt
for the morrow. Ben Bert and Heiny were to
go over to Ben's cabin on Big Salmon lake and
spend two days looking for elk.' Charles declared
his intentions of trying again for the big bull on
the west side of the river while I had picked a
likely-looking mountain across the gulch from
where Heiny had shot his goat on the first day's
hunt. .
We were out of camp early Marsh and I both
taking saddle horses. We cut out a trail through
and around windfalls across Marshall Creek and
by ten o'clock that forenoon were well above the
snow line.
While we were yet some distance below the
summit ' we tied our horses in a sheltered spot
and proceeded on foot. . Deer tracks were numer-
ous in the fresh wet snow and on top of a small
ridge I found the tracks of a band of elk. There
were eight in the bunch one track showing
plainly to be that of a bull and Marsh "allowed"
we had better try for him. The tracks were eas-
ily followed but as they had fed all over the
ridge it took some time to And In which direction
they were going. Shortly Marsh who was walk-
ing back of me touched me and pointed out a
yearling which was feeding toward us. We sat
down and watched this one which was soon
Joined by another and another until six were in
sight. The two yearlings came within sixty feet
before they winded us and turned back. We
could hear the bull scraping his horns on the
brush. He was in the background out of sight.
We watched them possibly five minutes when I
.saw what I took to be the bull brushing his head
up and down among the branches of a small pine.
I fired at a point Juet back of his shoulders. Then
came the one disappointment of the trip for the
animal proved to be a big cow. The remainder
of the band stood motionless for a quarter of a
minute then broke into a run down the mountain
side.
We dressed the elk and continued our hunt for
goats. We were crossing deer tracks every few
feet. On coming out into a little park I found
one track that looked good enough to follow and
had hardly gone ten rods when I heard him Jump
out of bed. He came into an open spot on the
highest point of the ridge and stood looking at
me over the top of some dwarf cedars. I drew
a bead on his neck and fired scoring a clean
miss. The. second shot hit the mark and a ten-
point black-tail buck was added to the list and
went a long way toward repairing my feelings
' over the elk.
The reunited party had supper together that
. evening. Ben put up goat elk and venison steaks
to order. After the big feed was over and pipes
filled we sat around the fire In the teepee tent
and planned a further invasion of the game zone
across Marshall creek. The result was Bert's
bagging of the largest goat of the trip and
Charles getting a black-tail buck.
The shooting of Bert's goat was quite a re-
markable feat. He and Ben had Just about given
up looking for goats and were standing on the
edge of a cliff looking down at a trail along the
side of the ledge when a goat appeared walking
leisurely. The animal was about fifty feet hori-
zontally and three hundred feet vertically from
him when be shot hitting the goat square be-
tween the shoulders killing It Instantly. Any
struggle on the part of the animal would have
resulted in his rolling over the cliff where it
would have been impossible to reach him. The
two men crawled down over the slide rock out
to where the goat lay and after much careful
work secured the head and hide and
climbed back to the summit.
Our game supply now consisted of
three deer three goats and one elk.
Charles decided to stay in the valley
with Marsh until he shot an elk. whilu
the rest of us took a part of the pack-
train loaded on all our game and left
at noon next day for the railroad.
By no means the- least interesting
part of this trip was the chance to
view the Lewis and Clark National
Forest where for ten days we lived
near to Nature the only evidence of
man's having intruded there being
the cut out pack-trail and the forevt
rangers' cabins. The timber ranges
in size from the giant Norway pine of
six feet in diam-
eter to the 6-inch
lodge pole thick-
ets. The vivid
green of these
brightened by
the yellow fall
tint of the asp-
ens agalnxt the
snow capped
mountains made
a picture which
no camera nor
brush could do
Justice to. giving
one the feeling
that it was good
to be alive.
Small game was
numerous; three
varieties of
grouse FrankHn
blue and ruffed.
Pine squirrels.
whisky Jacks
magpies and many smaller birds added interest to
the trip. '
The act of ex-President Roosevelt in setting aside
these immense tracts of rough timbered country
for national forests to be looked after by the gov-
ernment providing a home for the wild life and a
recreation spot for future generations will stand
as one of the great acts of his administration.
Less Lonely Club f
t WVVWfrWWWW'WVWWVWWtWVtW S
Confident that New York Is the loneliest city in
all thlB wide world the New York World says
several men and women have organized the Iess
Lonely league with headquarters at 67 East One
Hundred and Twenty-sixth street. The purpose is
to provide a suitable meeting place for persons of
refinement and education who are denied home
life.
L. J. Wing a well to-do manufacturer Is the
originator and president of the Less Lonely
league. His own lonesomeneas is responsible for
the movement which is expected to gather thou-
sands of recruits in New York and throughout the
United States when it gets fairly under way. It
was through a letter to a newspaper that Mr Wing
got (n touch with the other men and women who
fell in with his plan.
"Long ago I realized that New York was a
mighty lonely place" Mr. Wing said. "I mean for
one accustomed to associatiog with cultured per-
sons. At first I thought that through a church I
might meet congenial people. I attended one in
Central Park west but It didn't take long to con-
vince me that no friends were to be made there.
I attended another church in Lenox avenue. The
result was the same. Now I don't attend any
church but on Sunday Jump Into my motor car
and take a ride into the country and let nature
preach to me.
"It is tough on the young man who cares nothing
for the smoke shop or the barroom. The same
with the young woman who must remain in her
hall bedroom because there is no place to go. Our
clubrooms will furnish a place for them to meet;
there will be entertainments from time to time.
We have received nearly 100 applications."
Lawyers publishers teachers and others have
written asking about the club and Mrs. Taylor
has had printed a circular setting forth that "four
walls and a door don't make a home."
And this from Hood's "Bridge of Sighs" U
added:
Oh it was pitiful near a whole city full.
Home they had none.
Every other Tuesday an entertainment will be
given although the club rooms will be open to
the members any time. Mrs. Mary E. Medberry of
Beasonhurst L. I. is arranging the program. Miss
Edith North a grand opera singer is interested in
the work and sang for the members the other
evening.
LONGEVOUS GEESE.
Geese will live to a great age and some fer
years ago I came across a very venerable goose
(male or female I cannot say) in Westmoreland in
unexpected circumstances. I was walking from
Mllnthorpe to Arnslde and at Ganaslde found an
acquaintance sitting on-a seashore bench feeding
a pet goose with biscuits steeped in ale. He told
me that this goose bad been in his family for over
40 years and was partial to beer stout and even
gin. One of the most remarkable records of thfc
longevity of geese with which I am acquainted ia
to be found in an old book entitled "Travels ia
Scotland" by the Rev. James Hall M. A. London
two volumes 1807. On a visit to a Mr Charle
Grant of Elchies Stirlingshire the author was in-
formed of a gander that bad been killed by accident
after living at the same place for "above SO years."
As the Mexican crisis is now viewed
in Washington the modern power of
money is combating the ancient pow-
er of militarism.
The beet authorities on Mexican af-
falrs here declare that Llmantour
nacKea Dy European ana American
financiers heavily interested in Mexi
can properties forced the resignation
of the Diaz cabinet and is now him-
self seeking to become the real dicta-
tor of Mexico. n.
Fresh from his conference with the
moneyed masters of the world both
here and abroad Llmantour carried
an ultimatum to Dias and his associ-
ates. It was simply that there must
be peace in Mexico. The holders of
iViexicun iDveiuiwui iuuuu( ivwaju
two billion dollars powerful in their
home government would not stand by
while Diaz with conscripted armies
plunged the country indefinitely into
a state of anarchy while battling the
.revolutionists. That such was the
outside policy Llmantour pointed out. clearly is proven by the concentration
of the United States regulars in Texas. There must be an abandonment of
the reign of the mailed fist this traveled minister argued and efforts made
at solution through the velvety hand of diplomacy and compromise.
It seeuiB likely that Llmantour has seized the real scepter. Not that Dlat
for the present will relinquish the chief office but that the old "king" has been
made to realize his weakness and has "abdicated" to a new sort of domi-
nation. . -
Mexicans here say that Llmantour has been working to this end for
several years. .

DONATES LAST OF FORTUNE
Three hundred thousand dollars was
the ninety-first birthday gift of Dr.
Daniel K. Pearsons the grand old man
of Hinsdale 111. to the colleges and
missions he calls his children. The
Chicago philanthropist is happy now
that he has fulfilled his determination
to give away all of his fortune before
death. In all he has paid what he
calls "debts to the world" of approxi-
mately $5000000. All that now re-
mains of his once great fortune is
the modest residence where he llvts
valued at $30000 and this Is destined
to go before tbe owner's death. Here
la the aged doctor's philosophy:
I have bad a lot of fun. I am not
a dollar poorer for the millions I have
given away.
I have had all I wanted to eat and
drink and wear. I could not wisely
have spent another dollar on myself.
As for the money I have given away
tbe giving has made me richer happier.
My colleges are my children. I love them all.
among them.
Every cent I have given away has done good I know.
single gift I would take back.
The best I have ever given was the $60000 I gave to Berea college. The
Kentucky mountains breed men of the Lincoln type. Education counts there.
People won't remember me or any of us long you know and need not
but my children my colleges will spread light down the centuries. '
