of Switzerland, over the Eureka
and down toward the eternal gla-
ciers of the Rhone, and wonder how
the inhabitants of the many little
cottages | pass support themselves
in such sterile places, So | said to
the driver, "How do the people get
a living here ?" He looks at me
surprised a moment, and then re-
plies, why, they all work" And
surely, just over there between a
patch of snow and those heavy
boulders, there is a green spot, and
the Switzer has found he can raise
a bit of grain or flax and some po-
tatoes there. And beyond still is
another oasis he has found, and the
mother and children are moving on
it. So the wolf is kept from the
door, and the little miserable cot
tage is their kingdom, and it is
clean and respectable, and all their
own. BY and by the boy is going
to Lucerne, with the bright pros
pect ahead of becoming waiter in
good time in a grand hotel. Thus
the family will have a lift; then the
girl will go away to better her con-
dition, and help the parents and
the younger ones. And so many
just such brave hearts and honest
lives have made even the hardest
