"JUST A LOT OF WATER."

Boy Would Not Advise Taking, Trouble to 8e« Niagara. You think that perhaps so much talking about Niagara has kind of dulled the edge of your appreciation of it I don’t believe it The first man that saw it probably said: “What’s to hinder?** and didn’t stare at it very long. Nothing to eat there, and it looked spooky, and anyhow standing where it was so damp would probably give him rheumatism. It tells in the guide-book how a man in the early days went to see the place, but it Was a very cold night, and the tavern was comfortable, he sent a boy to see If It was worth while. The boy came'back and said It wasn’t much; just a lot of water falling, and it was colder than all get-out, and he wouldn’t advise it—Eugene Wood, in McClure’s Magazine.
