1 NOW CHILDREN SEEKING AFTER JOEWOULD ROUND THE RUINS STRAY. But gloomy-minded people saidThey thought it was a shame A man should be disposed to laughAt good and bad the same. At last they gathered in a crowdAnd pulled his dwelling down; They hustled him around the streetsAnd drove him from the town, To find a home beyond the sea Upon a foreign strand,And never dare to set a foot Upon his native land. But when they chased him from the realm- Those people little knewWhat even one good-natured soulAnd smiling face can do. i9°4-) THE LAUGHING PHILOSOPHER. Now children seeking after JoeWould round the ruins stray, And grieve because the people droveTheir laughing friend away. 545 And long before a year went byThose bad-behaving men Sent messengers across the seaTo coax him back again. And out they ran with princely gifts To meet him at the shore,And begged him there to live and laugh In peace forevermore.

Vol. XXXI.—69-70. A VISIT TO A COLORADO GLACIER. By F. H. Kellogg. In the northern part of Colorado, a spurrange of three peaks extends in an easterly direc-tion from the Front Range of the great Conti-nental Divide. This little spur is called theMummy Range, from a fancied resemblance toan Egyptian mummy reclining at full length.The highest point, Hagues Peak, forms thehead, and a somewhat lower summit twomiles to the north and west marks the knees ofthe prostrate figure; the feet extend to theFront Range, where the third peak, MountFairchild, raises its gigantic form. On the northern slope of the second peakthere rests an immense mass of snow and ice,which, in the light of recent investigation anddiscovery, has greatly increased in interest tothe mountain-climber and explorer. The veryexistence of this snow-field is a comparativelynew discovery, and until a few years ago the mountains, and it then furnished a site for thelast human habitation this side of the Conti-nental Divide.
