We jo-,rneyed day by day over the
hills and up the canyons. camping by
night under the pines in mountain
glades or deep ravines, where the sun
sets at four o'clock, while it is light
above. The moon was in the full and
the nights were frosty, and many times
we awoke to think it morning WHEN
only our heads had become uncovered
by the blankets and the big white
moon shone fair upon us. Getting up

pleasant Some of the men are on
foot, from soring their horses backs
and their buckskin boots are wearing
out, so they sit about the fire and

The Happiness of Others.

IL we are unhappy, it is probably be-
cause we have so many thoughts about
ourselves, and SD few about the happi-
ness of others. Recall an unhappy day
and ask yourself if that day had large
desires. or made any efforts for the
good of others There may be times
when you are detected and unhappy;
but if you examine yourself by Gods
law. you will come to the conclusion
that there is too much to be done to
spend time in selfish regrets. s.-Detroit

Specialists on throat diseases are be-
ginning to take unusual interest in
culinary methods. They advise a
kitchen quarantine on wash days and
boiled dinner days, giving as reason
that the steam from boiling clothes
and picked meats that require much
heat produces many illnesses of the re-
spiratory organs and aggravates slight
or chronic diseases of the nose, throat,
and lungs. Patients are advised to va
cate apartments having dark or ill-ven-
tilated kitchens and to keep all babies
and ailing children out of the kitchen
when cooking is going on.-Pittsburgh

a country boy finds it hard to UNDER
stand how any family can live without
any front yard" or any back yard"
or any land about the dwelling at all.
To him the '.yard" is more than tho
house.
1t was there that he played in salu-
tary dirt as little child. There he
keeps his dog, and ties up his steer
team, and cleans his gun, now that he
is older; and when he grows up, and
perhaps wanders into the world, he
knows that the memory of the precious
old dooryard will remain with him.
A dooryard, he would say, is prime
necessity of life.
But an official report shows that i'm

children while the mother works hard
to do something to help to support
them. Older children teach them to
be profane and vicious. There childish
eyes are familiarized with the sight OF
drunkenness and crime.
For such a state of things, the real
estate owners who, in their greed to
obtain the largest possible return, build
