What would the world look Ike without flowers and
grass and trees The average man would find IL a
great effort to draw such picture in his own mind
Little Sammy" r.. however, who went out Yesterday
In one Of the Tribune FresAr excursions experiences
no great stretch Of imagination in fancying such a
landscape His world heretofore has been all brick
and stone not particularly bright in color and rather
monotOnous in outline. II may take little Sammy's,
eyes day or two to get used to the different shades Of
green on the trees and the blues the whites and the
ye,lows Of the flowers but The Tribune has sent out
thousands In days gone by who abored under The same
Disadvantage, and judging from their experience,
sammy" Will not have TO wear goggles before the
end Of his two weeks stay in the country, nor will
he be compelled 10 consult textbook on zoology TO
assure himself Of the difference between mudturte
and a bluebrd. lie will learn all this at glance.
His previous ignorance of these phenomens was due TO
the fact that he had opportunity OF seeing the
same-thev never fell under his observation before
Another thing that Will fill Sammy's' little heart
with ioy is that he will have plenty Of elbow ROOM
lie Will feel himself to be exceedingly small boy but
indeed rather an important parsonage, when he ana
his tenyearold companion stow away their packages
IN one corner Of that big room which is to be their
beaIouarters in Western NcwYork for the next Tort
night There will be just trae more comfort there

his immediate section Of RvingOn st-but we'll wager
a moderate sum that his little stomach will become
acclimatcd inside Of twenty four hours. In short.
sammy" is Just starting in for the biggest time Oh
his life He is young and he doesn't know much, Tor
he's had no chance in this great world But all tle
same away down in his wee heart in his own simple,
bahyish way. he feels thankful to the generous
