may like to have particulars of the air
or nature cure SO popular in Germany
just now.
The system is said to represent a re-
action against the overu5e of drugs and
serum. 1t appeals for the natural life
as the true remedy for ill-health. In the
lovely woods of Dresden and in various
captivating spots in Germany patients
undergoing the '-cure" are counted by
hundreds They come from Russia,
America, Africa, Australia. India, even
from tar-off Siberia, and the Ural Noun
tains, while England contributes four
hopeful inyalids to the crowd. The
open-air bath is one method of treat
ment. In various palisaded enclosures
men, women and children, arrayed in
the scantiest permissible garb bathe
themselves in the air INDUCING mean

An interesting illustration of the cure
may be found in Nansen's ION Snowshoes

She Talked to Her People.
(From the New York Tribune)


A Baltimore housekeeper engaged a
young coIored woman from Virginia as
kitchen maid. and was Ihuch pleased with
her evident desire to be useful and master
the details Of her duties. The girl was
quiet and respectful. cared little to go out,
had no visitors and had come to be re-
garded as that ong-looked-fo treasure, a
good servant, when one day her mistress
was startled by hearing the girl cry in a
sharp. hysterical tone Of voice:
How de do, Aunt Lie? Gran'pop, l
declare! Uncle Joab, Use glad to see you,
deed l is! Well, well, de baby too? Wy.

W'yfor didn' she kun along? She JUS
nights well as not. Mary, you JUS tell
her how hollered bout her!"N
The mistress. after moments aston
ishCd pause, wendell her way downstairs
with the intention Of curling the noisy
demonstration and suggesting that the
size OF the kitchen scarcely warranted all
the darkies from Virginia calling at the
same time. She MADE considerable noise
in the hallway to warn them that she was
coming, and moment later opened the
kitchen door. There sat the girl entirely
alone and busy shining her tins.
Why, Kate said the mistress, l
thought the kitchen was full OF company
that all your relatives except your
mother had called to see you-who was
it,"
The girl looked bewildered for n mo-
mcnt, and then said:
Deed miss, Use JUS homesick, so
had to prittend like l was talkin' to de
folks. else I'd got to set right down and
cry. l hope | amt done nuthin' wrong?

Just then I heard the patter of girIish
feet on the gravel behind me. and turn
ing ny head zzx one OF the plain sis
ters ,hurrying toward US, and almost at
the same second the reddish-gold head
of the beauty" the head Of the girl who
had been teaching me Dutch, passed
from patch OF shadow into the streak
of starlight where the hairy young giant
was standing fondling his gun. I saw
her clasp his arm. heard her hurriedly
whisper something in Dutch which caus-
ed the giant to grin as IL half his head
ached to part company with the other
half. The beauty pointed toward me ans
the plain sister, who had come to halt
beside me. The plain girl put her hand
kindly on my shoulder and whispered:
Don't you think it's too chilly out
here?"
Chilly was no name for it. was as
cold as Klondike. The sight OF that car
bine in the starlight had taken all the
warmth out of the atmosphere as far as
was concerned. I turned to go, when
little hand touched mine. The girl who
bad been teaching me Dutch was at my
side. Before you gentlemen leave" she
said, = want you both to make promise.
You are enemies now: some day, when the
war is over. you may be friends. But
promise not to hurt each other by talking
OF this meeting. Otto had no business to
come. Father had forbidden him until the
trouble ended with the British"
Il came out of love for you" grunted
the man with the gun.
and you came out OF fondness for me"
murmured the plain girl, her voice shak-
ing with laughter that was almost choking
her. l muttered the biggest lie had ever
parted with.
The hairy individual rested his gun
against tree, stepped forward, and lift
ing his SLOUGH hat to the plain girl, For
your sake, l promise
I lifted my helmet to the beauty and
said something similar. A few minutes
later. as l was buckling my girths, l
heard him galloping of southwark to join
Olivier,s- commando. AS a swung up into
the saddle. the plain sister slipped away,
and the "ebauty" lifted her hand in fare
well. AS our hands met, she said, why
did you come to the lovers walk'?'
''To get last lesson in Dutch" said,
with a sheepish grin.
Well" she answered. 81 hope you'll re-
member your lesson" and heard the two

western Horses in Favor.


Horses bred in our Northwestern States
are finding favor on every hunting field in
the world. AS a class. they have greater
endurance, quicker sight. and brighter in
telligence for adapting themselves to new
conditions than any other.
Like the human prairie livers, their wits
become sharpened perforce through the ne
cessities of the conditions surrounding
their early years. Rustling in youth de-
velops character and makes muscle, and
they must rustic If they would live.
A stud farm in Montana consists of a
plain loghouse for the owner, few cor
rails and log building or two for shell
tering imported thoroughbred horses.
There is no elaborate sJabling nor dainti-
ly prepared food for the young hunter. He
may hope for such pampering when he is
older and has learned his business. At
present he runs free on the open prairie,
where the high pure atmosphere strength
ems his lungs, the alkali water enlarges
his bones. and his legs and feet grow
tough and elastic on the hard rugged
ground His food, the luxuriant bunch
grass. is almost as nourishing as hay and
oats combined So well do horses thrive
on it that it is no uncommon thing to catch
UP a horse from grass and after riding
him seventy or eighty miles within
twelve hours turn him out again 10 whit
the worse for his journey.
Roaming from wee childhood among the
rough bad lands, where they must follow
their mothers over many difficult obsta
cles from fallen logs to dangerous clefts
nearly concealed by sage brush bushes, the
young things early become Observant-eyed
natural jumpers. so that by the time they
are the right age to be broken they have
already attained kind of untutored pro-
fciency in the art of hunting.
Horses roam the country in close keep
ing punches. which are as jealousy dis
tinct as communities of men. They keen
to the creek districts, and though they
often wander miles into the hills for food
the place to look for any particular bunch
NAV safely be located in the vicinity OF
the creek they were driven to when they
were turned out.
