There was a broad fireplace such as belonged to the dwellings of the pioneers of fifty or more years ago; there were beds and settees made of stretched skins, and skins of wild animals covered the floor; there were also tin dishes, candles, a stool made of a section of a log, and such cooking apparatus as was used in the kind of dwelling represented.
The cabin was occupied by a hunter who wore long hair and a wide-brimmed felt hat.
He was ready to answer questions, many of which were asked by the younger members of our party, who, as well as their elders, seemed much interested in this representation of pioneer life in the olden times.
"Where now ?" asked Mr.Dinsmore as they left the Hunter's Cabin.
"I think Master Neddie here would enjoy a look at the ostriches," remarked Herbert, with a smiling glance at the rosy, happy face of his little nephew, who was trudging along with his hand in that of his father.
"Oh, yes!" cried the child in a tone of eager delight.

"I should like to see them ever so much!" "Then if no one objects, that is where we will go," said Harold, and as the only rejoinders from the other members of the party were those of assent, he led the way.
"Is it a very expensive entertainment ?" asked Walter soberly.
"Costs all of ten cents apiece," replied Herbert.

"An enormous sum, but one cannot expect to see Old Abe, General Grant, Jim Blaine, and Grover Cleveland for just nothing at all." "Oh, uncle!" cried little Elsie, "are all those great men there?
Oh, no, of course they can't be--'cause some of them are dead.

I know it was dear, good Mr.Lincoln they called Old Abe, and that a wicked man shot him long, long ago; and that General Grant was sick and died." "That is all true," returned her uncle, "but these fellows still wear their feathers, and are very much alive." "Oh, I know now," laughed the little girl.

"You mean the ostrich man has named some of his birds after those famous men." They were now on the northern side of Midway Plaisance, and presently reached the enclosure where the ostriches were.
