it has suddenly blossomed out as a cottage" resort, and the Whit
neys, Hhcheocks and others in fashionable society have built there
COUNTRY HOUSES AS FINE AS THOSE IN NEWPORT
though usually of a more rural character. a dozen other places
have sprung into almost equal prominence. Ashevihe, N: u is the
best known OF these because Of George Vanderblts great house near
there at Biltmore, but Hendersonvle, Murphy, Brevard and Saiuda,
N. c.. ard Newport and Greenyile, Tenn, are beginning to md
cottagers an important element, while railroad junction towns IKE
Charlotte, Salisbury, Yorkyile and Chester find the increase OF rail-
road traffic profitable.
Florida resorts have been even longer known than Aiken, but
were OF less Importance before the building OF the great Flager no.
tells in St. Augustine and the Plant lines of railroad. Clubs like that
at Jekyn Island, near Brunswick, Ga, helped on the movement which
has eliminated in the erection of the HUGE NEW HOTELS AT
PALM BEACH AND MIAMI IN THE VERY "TOE" OF
Florida.
The resorts in the mountains of North Carolina are favored by
the "horsey," pigeon-shooting and athletic sets, who like a climate
not too warm for an ~out-ofdoor life in winter. a greater variety OF
tastes drive people TO the farther southern coast resorts. AND
HERE A REVELATION AWAITS THEM! In Summeryile, ).
c., the only tea plants east of California are to be found growing
and commercially profitable. Minister Takahira is responsible for
the statement that the tea is equal to the japanese crop. In "Piney-
woods" and similar resorts wonderful forest depths are to be ex-
plored. On the coast farther down, tarpon fishing, the KING of water
sports, tempts the angler. AT Palm Beach vegetation found only in
tropic climates rusdes in the perpetual summer breeze that sweeps
across the low isthmus, and the excursion across to Nassau, a tropc
paradise with its picturesque historical "reminiscences of old block
ade-running days, is easily made. Miami is beginning to be a favor
lite point of departure for Cuba and Porto Rico.
When l was a country boy and chopped mince meat by hand,
my mother used to warn me that I could only MIX THE MEAT
THOROUGHLY BY TURNING H WOODEN owl AND
"CHOPPING CROSSWAYS." Our streams of railroad travel
have in the past run too exclusively east and west. It's time they
chopped crossways," from north to south, at least for awhile each
year. No one who has seen a great limited train OF a dozen sleep
ers" laundering across the pine barrens Of the southern uplands
could help feeling that the new travel must not only benefit the
from all the sections TO MEET N BETTER UNDERSTAND

"Slow as the Akron School Board"
Mr.. Killing reported to the Board Tues
day night that his committee had been
authorized to spend money for the
commencement exercises, but had not
been specifically authorized to rent
piano for the occasion, second in.
strument being desired for special
number of the program. For nearly
10 minutes the august Board consid-
cred this weighty proposition. Some
one was unkind enough to suggest that
the committee had already been au-
thorized to spend whatever money was
necessary and that such trifles need
not be brought before the Board but
Mr.. King hadn't had much else TO say
when his committee was called upon
to report, and he had therefore brought
up the question of the piano with a
great deal OF earnestness and anxiety.
1t was knotty subject-oRa that
must be weighed carefully and de-
liberately-especially deliberately. So
three or four members each had his
little say, and, quite needless to men,

mendous relief when authorized at
last to rent the piano if the commit
tee saw fit to do so. A great burden
