ON THE PoRcaEs.
The joy Of my summer house is the
porch. 1t is 135 feet long and IA feet
wide on the inside. It is hung with
hammocks and generously supplied with
eesy chairs, pretty tables, palms and
other helps to appearance and comfort.
Looking down upon all there is an enor-
nous elk's head, which l bought during
my first visit to England, the animal
having been killed by the prince of
Wales. This punch bowl which you see
on little table was once the property
of Washington, and those quaint old de-
canters were part of the fret Napoleon's
tent outfit.
The house and all its belongings were
designed first of all, as you see, for
comfort. The surroundings are fault
less. We live as we please, having
company when we care for it and seclu-
Bion when it suits us. The plans OF the
house are all my OWE, and the work of
construction was carried on under my
own direction. Now that you have had
glimpse Of the place, hope you like it
as much as do.

Besides these there is as fine dramatic
library as one would wish to possess.
These books do not merely ornament
the shelves but are dear friends, and l
know their nooks by heart. A tall,
graceful palm stand in one window,
while another fills the corner of the
large desk standing in the center of the
room. The desk is the one used by E.
L. Davenport in the days of his manage

by engravings of Napoleon, Forrest,

and Goethe.
About the floor are pillows where one
can sit down by tho generous bookcases
and lose ones self in their treasures.

large dictionary easy of access near it.

Misunderstood.

Tired and hungry, traveller whom
we may call Mr.. Smith entered a vii
lage inn and ordered roast chicken.
He sat down by the fire and took great
comfort in watching the fowl roasting
on the spit and in thinking how fine the
flavor would be. 1t was nearly done
when strange looking individual en-
tered the kitchen. His costume was &C.
centric, but it was undoubtedly that of
q great parsonage.
To the innkeeper he said with an i'm
patient, and, as it seemed to hungry
Mr. Smith, an insufferably naughty air,
"Well, William, will that chicken be
roasted soon?"
"Sir,n said Mr.. Smith sternly, "that
chicken is minel | ordered it before
you."
"What is that to me?' cried the person
age harshly.
"What is that to you" cried Mr.. Smith,
faint with hunger and just indignation.
Then the intruder spoke again and more
gently. He said: ''You see, sir, | want
the turnspit chain to complete my cos
tune. am going to represent the Black
Prince in an entertainment at the town

False Ideas of the Arabian Horse.

Colonel Dodge brushes away many
cherished illusions concerning the Ara
bian horse in a magazine article on the
subject. He asserts that, while the ex-
ceptional Arabian is a fine fellow, he does
not think that the best Arabian-aside
from certain attractiveness-is nearly
as good as the best hunter, the best trot-
ter, the best racer or the best saddle
horse of England or America. "And
am quite sure" adds this accomplished
horseman, ''that would stake my mon
ey on 100 bronchos of the American
plains against 100 Arabians of the Syrian
desert on pull Of 100 or 200 miles un.

they have had many other things to

But for both of these they have had
large opportu mites, in times like the
present, when men are harassed and
troubled over their affairs, women can
do much that no one else can do.
They can refrain from troubling on
their own part; they can put aside
their own annoyances; they can see
that the house is cool and comfortable.
