Uleekly gbemawa American JTTx" MAY 4, 1906 No. 7 $?amp ir? tl7e Uoodc (By Apis Goudy, Eighth (Jhadk ) We are going to cam) out in the woods for pleasure and health, for it is nininier and everything is beautiful in tu. woods. People usually like to go out camping. We are going to the distant moun tains, called Cascades. It is a day's trip and we are there. We select our camping place by the lit tle brook running down a little canyon, surrounded by woods and brush. We take our tent poles and put them up, and get ready for a night's rest. The next morning we wake up and liuild a fire, and get our breakfast .ready. Oh! we feel so good and strong out in the fresh air which the nature provides. After we are done with our morning meal, we all begin to make ready for a day's sport out in the woods. Some go up the little creek fishing, and others go out hunting for game, we see the beauti ful scenery of t he Cascades, with its tall straight trees, and some places the brush is so thick that nothing large could get through it. When the evening conies we arc all hack at the camp, some with the fish they, have caught, 'and others with, their Same. After supper we sit around the amp fire, and talk about the tilings we ave.sten during the day out in the woods. Harry said that at one place he was going over a hill, and all at once he saw a black-bear coming just as if to meet him, that frightened him so much he ran back as fast as he could. That made us all laugh. All at once we heard a noise, and we looked above, and could see a large bird flying from tree to tree, and we discovered it was an owl, that re lieved our fear a little. But still we could see dark and dense places in the distance, and that made us so afraid, that we could. imagine a black-bear com ing out from the woods, or some other fierce animal, and so we all decided to go to bed in our tent which was so com fortable. And soon we were fast asleep and did not dream of anything fierce out in the woods. Three Detrimentals Three things there are in summertime That make one fret and stew; A smart mosquito bite is one, Tight shoes the other two. Ex. Don't look back over life's trail, but keep plodding onward. Tf you slu.uld fall, rise again, ever remembering that the light of hope is shining on thr summit of success.
