heat enough to warm those about 

 them, more are able to eat, and the 

 case projiresses until all revivable are 

 up Ji;;ain. 



To look at the feeding matter from 

 another way. let us consider the struc- 

 ture of the tongue. For this purpose 

 1 would refer to the better text books. 

 Then go and watch a bee use her 

 tongue in a drop of honey. Then try 

 to imagine two bees holding their 

 tongues together long enough to per- 

 mit food to pass from one to the other. 

 Then sit down by a colony of bees 

 and try to catch two at it. 



Gentlemen you have the bees, see 

 for yourselves. It is not difficult to 

 prove the correctness of w^hat I have 

 said.

Flint, Michigan, Sept. lo, 1903 



Michigan seems doubly desirable as 

 a home, since taking my western trip. 



Every Indian. Mexican and half- 

 breed that I have seen owns a mon- 

 grel dog. 



Kipe strawberries, all the year 

 round, are some of the luxuries of Cali- 

 fornia.

A small but choice collection of 

 tlea bites is one of the things I brought 

 hack with me from California.

Large Flocks of Angora goats were 

 often seen near the railroad in pass- 

 ing through Arizona and New Mexico. 

 They were always guarded by a dog 

 and a boy or a man.

Water is the one great need of the 

 arid regions of the West. Where this 

 can be secured, the fertility is some- 

 thing truly wonderful. Millions upon 

 millions of acres are now^ practically 

 valueless, simply from this one lack.

Gee Jim was the name of the Chi- 

 nese restaurant where several of us 

 took dinner at Williams, Arizona. It 

 was Hobson's choice with us. but the 

 food proved palatable— t'was the idea 

 of it against which we tenderfeet re- 

 volted.

Mexican Women, on the route to 

 California, were often seen standing in 

 the doors of mud huts or dugouts, 

 babies in their arms, the latter dressed 

 in Nature's garb only— and sometimes 

 the women wore quite a profusion of 

 the latter.

The adobe, or mud house, of Arizona 

 and New Mexico, is the most homesick 

 looking house that I have ever seen. 

 It is one story high, with poles and 

 some hay or mud on top for a roof.
