IN boarding houses, sowe hit upon this
plan, and It doesn't eost nsarly aa
much and We get ten times more fun
out Of it, We don't have a truly tent,
but have hired an old cabin with four
rooms that we have fitted up with cots
and few rugs, and our decorations
consist Of grasses and eolored adver'
tisements. We live outdoors for we
own our own boats and have ham
mocks and easy canvas chairs that
we can move shout from place to
place at our own sweet viii. In
the morning we take q dip in the
lake and in the evening we hoat
about on its surface, our boat III up
with lanterns and our banios and gui-
tars tn ned up in fine style, and we sing
and laugh until the lkaty-dids and the
buIlfrogs wake the echoes Of the night,
when we turn in and sleep until morn
ing without turning over Our clothes
don't cost us ~sixpence, for we live in
serges and blouse waists, and when
next winter comes we viii be in pocket
and in health, to say nothing Of having
had a glorious time.'
When the door closed after this hu
man brownie we took mp the pen, and
as with every stroke we inhaled th'
fragrance from the souvenir Of th'

we determined to let other womer

of a delightful summer outing at

This Is about two girls who lived in
a western mining town, and who might

to bring them to time.
"Just the way men dc" said Sally
Hanks, take six-shooter and ask
them their intentions. There won't be
any need of loading the shooters
they'll be so scared they'll drop the
minute they see them"
The young men were partners in
business, and Sally Hanks and her
friend Ethel Barber called together Of
their office. carrying the weapons con-
cealed in their handbags.
Ethel trembled so she could hardly
stand, but her friend Sally was nerved
right up to business.
"We're just tired Of shilly-shally

know your own minds, we'll help yol

and held it under the nose of ByroI
Smith, who nearly tainted.
'I'm your huckleberry," he gasped
and dropped on his knees.
Curtiss took the weapon in a ginger

asked her to be Mrs. Curtiss at tn
earliest possible date.
But Sally kept hers and they do sa

Opinions Of Buslness Men In Regard TO
His Commercial Value.
Reports have come from around Que
bee of business enterprise for the
catching Of the porpoise. In section
OF the gulf where they are very plenti.
full colossal nets are TO be spread for
their capture.
The porpoise has often been caught
before Capitalists have coraled him
in quantities while deporting himself
near Wilmington, Del, for instance.
But to these same capitalists he has
ever proved much of a white elephant.
Commercially he has been unsuccess-
full, and II is pleasing to note that he is
so far appreciated to-day that band
of moneyed men are again to push him
forward 1t is difficult thing to find

But a Rsh-oil man thus speaks of htm;
The catching of the porpoise is some
thing that has never paid When dead
he is useful in certain ways, but never
sufficiently so. Under his skin is a
layer Of fat--the blubber-which is
made into an ordinary fish oil, such as
menhaden selling at twenty-five cents
gallon. The only really valuable oil
about him is within the jawbone. That
oil is very fine. 1t sells at from three
to four dollars a gallon and when care
fully refined very much higher. But
Of course, per porpoise, there is a very
small quantity of that OF the ordinary
oil about ten porpoises are needed fol

purposes that other Ash oils are-lubri

lighting Of mines. But, he concluded

used is so small that we oil men nevel
