This is the title of a new book, one of the
most readable and pleasantly interesting books
that has been published for many years.
1t is story that takes one from the flower
fields of Alabama, where seem to drink
the fragrance, to the magical twilights of the
far North, where the falls of Minnehaha
Laughing water gladden. nature and from
the SHOWS of the grand old White Mountains
to the slope beyond the foothills, away TO the
great ocean. There are many beautiful
gIimpses of the land we love, North and
South It is a pleasant story of pleasant peo-
pie, with little of the evil of human kind,
tragedy, a great deal of nobility and broth

where sleep those we have lost:
Under the blossoms, the blue;
Under the garlands, the gray.
Under the sod and the dew,

Love and tears for the blue,
Tears and love for the gray"

thread of pathos, tender with pearly tears,
because of the fair, sweet loved one whom
death has taken by the hand and is slowly
leading away from the glad, bright life she
had planned; yet so beautiful to her is her
journey that we only seem to see her going
home.
There is another death, where the soul goes

evidence that leaves no doubt in the minds OF
the community as to the identity of the muir
