The Saint Paul globe., 1901-06-23

ters, and if a show comes to the village
and gives one consecutive performance
at Odd Fellows hall, or the school
house, you will get more for your 10
cents than you will here for 81, though
the best will be in front of the curtain.
What will you eat and drink, and which
side shall you sleep on, and ought the bed
to be turned to the north or east, and
what time do you have to get up, and
what drugs ought you to take in the
bag, and how often must you write home
and how are your folks to know where
you are going to be? Drop it. Eat every
thing. Sleep in the barn, if you like.
There are worse places, l can tell you.
Carry no drugs. Write when you feel
like it. Tell your folks not to write to
you except at certain points, where you
will call for your mail. Don't go within
ten miles of a telephone or a telegraph
station Don't read a daily paper. Gros
ventre de Saint Bartoleme! Won't I
catch it wnen 1 go down stairs, for say
ing that? Just be heather, a savage,
and don't care whether school keeps or
not.
Yes, 1 know you are worrying about
how to get your washing done Well,
there are two or three ways. You can
take it down to the brook and do it, or
you can rent it out over night. In most
hotels nowadays they will wash your
underclotheS under cover of darkness and
sOapy, perhaps, but the same clothes, in
the morning. Or-whisper-you can wear
the old ones, that are all in rags, and
that you were just going to give to the
man that puts out the ash barrels, and
when they are all the more rags, you can
conceal them in some mans lot and buy
new ones at store. They keep them for
sale In several places, now, though you
would not thing it to see the loads that
most people take to the country with
them.
GO ANYWHERE.
AS to places to go? Anywhere; but, as
at
try a change. Go into the hills Go to
some place where they have rocks and
raV1neS and waterfalls and woods and
submits that you can climb. Treat your
self to change of air, and sample the
kind they have In the Catskills or the
| Green mountains, of the Blue mountains.
| or particularly the White mountains,
| which are the noblest stamping grounds
| east of the Mississippi, and will be till
| North Carolina accepts Christianity and
| becomes civilized
! And mind, you are not to wait till 1924
| when some fellow has promised to &c
with you. but go now, and that mean:
you will go alone. A lot of people thinl
they Will make up party and keep com
pany with you, but they never do. Yol
will lose all your hair while you are wait
| ing for them. Bicycling in company seems
natural. somehow, and you have q lot O
exhilaration from it. The easy, rapit
motion rouses a glee that you want t,
share. But walking is a meditative man
contemplation. You must be your owl
boss, and not be hampered by the rule
and regulations or the whims of others
You must be at liberty to stop and lea
against the fence, or to watch bird, O
to study the butterflies dancing lik
sparks of sunlight over the damp place
in the road, or to listen to the whip-poor
will and owl, or, If SO pleases you, t
cock your feet upon the mantelpiece /
your room and read the newest and mos
awful novel. And no matter how muc
you mind, you will be astonished whe
you reach home to discover that you hay
been having a good time.
