HAPPENINGS IN
THEMAGIC CITY
Itinerary ;ef Tarda Excursion
Into Northwest Given Out
iy Exchange Officials.
"INCLUDES' 3 CONVENTIONS
Stock yards excursionists made op
in battle array Saturday afternoon.
A half hundred ardent commission
men, all in quest of the elusive "ad
vertisement," signed up vocally to be
come a part of the initial delegation
which leaves Tuesday afternoon,
bound for Cheyenne, Salt Lake City,
Ogdcn, Thermopolis, Denver and
other strategical points in the west
and northwest. '
Secretary and Traffic Manager A.
K.,Stpyker and Bill Shcllberg had the
list in charge.
The itinerary, however, was given
out which is included herein.
Every year it has been the custom
of yards men to make the rounds of
conventions interesting to stockmen
which are held in cities of the middle
west The principal meeting of. in
terest this trip will be at Salt Lake
City, where the annual meeting of
the National Wool Growers will be
held January 11, 12 and 13. The Wy
oming Wool Growers' association
will meet at Thermopolis. Secretary
Strykrr of the local yards is scheduled .
to tltSke a talk.
The fact that the sheep market fell
below the big record of a year ago is
considered basis enough for making
a thorough canvass of the territory
-covered. The runs during the last
year have been excellent. The West
ern Stock show at Denver January
21 to 27 will be largely attended by
local stockmen, but will not be in
cluded iir the itinerary of the present
excursion. Salt Lake City will be
" visited twice, the second time attend
ance being at the meeting of the
American National Live Stock asso
ciation. The first (top will be made
at Cheyenne. The delegates witDeave

When Yon Have a Cold.
It is when you have a severe cold
that you appreciate the good qualities
ot . Chamberlain a Lough Remedy,
Mrs. Frank Crocker, Pana. III., writes:
"Our five-year-old son, Paul, caught
a severe cold last winter that settled
on Ms lungs and he , had ' terrible
coughing spells. We were greatly
worried about him as the medicine
we gave him did not help him in the
least A neighbor spoke so highly of
Qiamberlain's Cough Remedy that 1
got a bottle of it. The first dose bene-
uted him so much that I continued
giving it to him until he wat cured."

New York, Jan, 7. If the United
States does not want to be relegated

nations training must begin at once of

8 and 21 yean under a compulsory
military service law, United States
Senator George E. Chamberlain,
chairman of the committee on mili
tary affairs of the senate, said in an
address before the Republican club
yesterday.
No man can tell what may happen
in the international situation irtj the
nextx twenty-four " hours. Senator
Chamberlain asserted. He criticized
the mobilization of the National
Guard on the Mexican border as
"wholly, ineffective," adding that
there was no doubt in hit awt
"what would have happened had the
United States declared .war, pn
Mexico." I
Henry Ford, who had been invited
to address the) dub, was unable to
attend, but sent a telegram saying be
was "strenuously ' opposed to any
kind of military service."
"We should lay the foundation,"
Mr. Ford wired, "for all countries to
lay down their arms, and abandon
warfare." '

In overcoats the Raglan, and Uls

Automobile, Teacher of Geography
, Shows Whole WorlcL in New Light
By GARRETT P. SERVISS.
As a teacher of sreoeraohv tht auto
mobile is unrivalled, it carries you
so quickly from place to place and so
victoriously up commanding hills
which seemed unconauerable in the
old days of panting horses, that it
turns the country into a moving pic
ture, whose beanties and wonders un
roll in and endless panorama before
your eyes.
Formerly the farmer, if he had a
spankine team, could trive his family.
during a holiday's ride, a fair view of
portion of the township, five or
ten miles square, in which they lived.
Mow, with his auto, he can take them
over the whole county, and far away
into adjoining counties, showing them
an area of the earth large enough to
make a very respectable telescopic
patch as seen from thevnioon.
And during: such trips the aspect
of the country seems cpmplctely
changed,' whilce the relations of the
various parts to one another become
evident.' The courses of the streams.
the intersections of the ranges of hills,
the lie of the valleys, the nesting
places of villages, the pockets of corn,
the sheltered expanses of wheat land,
the favored valleys where the elms
grow old and lofty and the breezy
heights where the squirrels play
among the hickories all fall into a
certain . order, the recognition of
which is a lesson in practical geogra
phy.'
And then there are the surprises,
which are often very great and de
lightful. Recently I took a ride around
the Mohawk valley, .starting from
Amsterdam, which, unlike, its flat
namesake in Holland, loves steep
streets. We were all natives of the
valley and thought that we knew its
scenery well. We flew through the
township of Florida. I spent my boy
hood looking' across the brawling'
ichohane at the hills ot Honda rid
ing occasionally over its roads.
But now I found that I had never
known Florida at it is. Seeing it bit
by bit, now a little and then a. little.
had been like getting an idea ot a
house by examining specimens of its
bricks. But the swiftly succeeding
views afforded by the auto, like the
progressive poses of a cinematograph,
combined all the details into a har
monious whole, and the township of
Florida stood revealed like a beautiful
face.
A little way over the border, in
Schenectady county, we spun higher
and higher, until, through awoods,
we shot out on the verge of a hill,
where,' without any preparation for
what was in store, we saw before us,'
and beneath us, as instantaneously as
if a curtain had dropped, the most
beautiful, and, in its unexpectedness,
the most astonishing landscape that
I have ever looked upon and I have
seen some of tht; world's-most famous
views.
Considering that this scene lies in
one of the oldest inhabited regions of
the old state of New York, and is the
orift offered to its visitors, not by a
mountain, but by a mere hill only
some 1,500 feet in height, and clothed
to its summit with farms, it doubt
less seems extravagant to speak of it
as I have done. ,
All of us in the party had been born
almost within sight of the place, but
only one had even a dim recollection
of having heard of its existence. Wc
had not set out to find it; the auto had
brought us to it. , ,
Such a scene cannot be described;
one can only mention some of its ele
ments. Nature has a formula for
these things, ' and the first require
ment, after a suitable elevatibn, which
heed not be very great, is isolation.
The hill that I am writing of is a few
miles from the village of Mariaville,
which itself lies beside a little lake
1,300 feet above 'sea level. The sum
mit from which the view is obtained
rises moderately above all its imme
diate surroundings. It is a kind of
hill peninsula projecting into an at
mospheric ocean, whose bottom, com
posed of farm lands, gradually shelves
down deeper and deeper, and sweeps
away on all sides for many miles until
it begins to rise again to meet the
hills and mountains that form its
farther coasts.
Seen through the transparent fluid
of the air, slightly blued in the dis
tance, the farms, with their fences,
hedges, groves, houses, barns, grain
fields, corn fields, white buckwheat
fields, stretch , away, smaller and
smaller to the eye, apparently as nu
merous as stars you would say there
was a million of them. In bnght
sunshine they arc rich with color.
Away off in the midst of the mid
dle ground, perhaps thirty miles from
the eye, gleams a little white line
the great marble-columned Education
building in Albany, and close beside
it is seen the capitol. Albany itself
is a. darkish patch. Nearer is Schen
ectady, big enough to lie on the point .
of a (able knife. And all around are '
towns-and villages innumerable.
The frame of this marvellous pfc- a
ture is superb. Oply in one direction
is it cut off by a forest on the hill.
It consists of the blue Adirondack.
merging into the Green mountains of .
Vermont, with,Greylock, the. king of
Massachusetts' Berkshires, set upon
the rim, and continued round through
south and west- by the beautiful'
domes of the Catskills and the precip
itous and almost grotesque fronts of
the Helderbergs. Think of the sun
rises and the sunsets and the starry
nights on that lone-Jieightl
This world-fronting hill is the prop
erty of a farmer, a farmer who is also,
a scholar and a gentleman. No king
has such a home as hel No king
would respect it as he does. A king
possessing that hill would put a pal
ace on it. A multimillionaire would
trv to improve it with a marble gar
age built on the plan of a Parthenon. '
A speculator would erect a great sum
mer hotel there, and coin shekels out
of the wonder. The actual owner has
a low, roomy, unpretentious, comfor
table farm house; only that and the
view. And he has the strength of
mind to work his farm! ,
