with the sweet and be thank full that things
are no worse. Or, if one is sick, he should be
thankful that he knows how to smile long
enough to make others, whose happiness de-
ponds upon him, forget his pam; and that
seems to be about as heroic an action as one
can well be expected TO perform.
Nor is this SO impossible thing as one
might consider it at first sight. For instance,

BICYCLING IN THE GRAPE BELT
DEAR L. H.W. FRIENDS, especially those
among you who are bicycle riders: OF
course, many of you have heard of the
famous Erie-Buffalo Road over which racers
from far and near make Century Runs "
when they wish to make record" This
Eric-Buffa!o Road was formerly a stage
route, and many of the old inns are still
standing remodeled into dwelling houses.
took bicycle ride recently over about
10 miles of this road, right through por-
ton of this great vineyard section, The
Grape Belt as it is called. Beautiful vine
yards are on every side and that day hung
full of the great purple clusters. Some OF
these vineyards are very large, containing
hundreds of acres. They are mostly Con-
cord, though there are some large vineyards
of Niagara (whiie) grapes, and some small
vineyards containing various kinds. A few
years ago, small fortunes were made off of
these vineyards, SO there are many nice
houses Identifying the road on either side.
In the distance one could see miles and miles

of vessels plainly visible, though we were

visited one packing-house. Downstairs
there were three rooms loading room,
where the packed baskets were loaded into
the wagons; store room, where crates of
grapes are stacked from floor to ceiling away
above my head; aud the packing room,
where the girls sort, pack, cover and label
the baskets. Upstairs are also three rooms,
where the girls Seven and chaperon) live
during their stay in the grape country.
From window upstairs took picture of
the vineyard, showing Lake Erie in the dis
