XIIi: LADIES AT BREAKFAST

 grabbing his fishing tackle and getting busy in the creek. 



Maybe you think it 

 is dull down here. 

 Perhaps you think 

 there is nothing doing 

 and that we are all 

 dying for news of the 

 outside world. You 

 were never more mis- 

 taken in your life. 

 The wrappers of half 

 the newspapers that 

 reach camp are never 

 broken. There is too 

 much of interest right 

 here in the heart of 

 this forest, to permit 

 one to have very much 

 hunger for news of the 

 doings of the outside 

 world. News! There 

 are more things hap- 

 pening here than on 

 State street in Chicago. 

 Last Sunday there was

 patched up, and then 

 hiked over the moun-

 Last Sunday one of the 

 boys from Camp 10 

 came down from 

 Goshen Eidge with a 

 two hundred pound 

 bear, and bear meat 

 was plentiful all alon;; 

 the line of camps for 

 two days. Then we 

 have had a wedding — 

 a really swell affair. 

 Sam Williams, the stal- 

 wart and handsome 

 boss of a cutting crew 

 out of Camp 11, wooed 

 and won the handsome 

 fifteen year old belle 

 of the upper Little 

 river, daughter of the 

 camp boss. The bride 

 was dressed all in 

 ■white and looked
