Colorado Guests (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) us all about the town and countryround. After lunch we took a drive just far enough into the country to make us know that Indiana will have to go some if she keeps up with Kansas on the crops. They surely have fine land and finer people. I nearly forgot the pretty girls who served the lunch and received a beautiful toast “To the Belles of Bellvlle.” From that thriving little town we came on to Colorado Sprngs. It seems to me the sun is brighter and the air clearer than any where I have ever been. The Antler’s hotel where we are staying. Is the most restful and charming place imaginable. It is spotlessly clean, which looks good after Indanapols' black. The conventon started rght off as soon as we arrived here. Mrs. Strauss, better known as the “Country Contributor," read a paper which made all Indiana people present swell with pride. In the afternoon the ladies were given a drive over the mountains, which 13 called “The High Drive." Some of the time I was fraid it would be the high dive, as there was just enough room around the mountains for this big coach holding twenty people, to go. But I was like my good friend at the races, I w-as sorry every mile we went, because it would soon be over The ascent to a height of ten thousand feet made an Adams county Hoosier gasp with wonder. The mountains sometime arise pcr]>endlcular on ether side of the road, sometimes a little mountain stream flashed and sang along over the rocks, maybo a sudden turn, and dashing down would be a silver spray called by some name such as bridal veil or stiver falls. The wild flowers were blooming in profusion everywhere be* side the streams and up the mountain side and such wonderful flowers they were! From several high points miles and miles of green fields, dotted with little lakes and towns, could be seen. At the very summit was Captain Jack's little home and resting place. Captain Jack is an interesting litle woman who lives the year around on the mountain top. In summer she furnishes the tourists with refreshments and amuses herself prospecting for gold. She hns men who do the work for her and this was one of the Interesting things the guide showed us. On the mountain side were places where gold had been found. The descent was not quite so interesting and beautiful, but It was well worth while. Nearly at the end of our journey we came on an auto that had backed off the embankment. No one was hurt, but it w-as sure a solemn warning to put on the brakes. We passed the great refining works and saw car loads of ore ready for the smelters. To hear of the fortunes made here and see the beautiful parks given by the fortunate men who made them sounds like a fairy tals." MRS. BLLINGHAM. oHerman Yager returned from Toledo, Ohio, last evening, where he has been since Saturday.
