VACATION TIME.


erybody, from the bilious banker
down to the polite boy who shines
your shoes and then welts you in the
back of the neck with his whisk
broom, is beginning to think of va
cation. 1t is the season when man
loves to dream of pleasant scenes far
away from his home and his work,
where he will be thrown among total
strangers who will believe everything
he tells them about himself. 1t is the
time of year when women get tired OF
trotting out in society or milking the
COW, or hustling for the strawberry
festival, and when every man longs
for the quiet retreat where he can sit
all day with pole and line aud, catch
crawfish and underbrush.
1t is the time OF year when man
cannot make up his mind whether to
90 to the lakes and catch little rest
and fresh air, or whether to 60 up in
the mountains and catch brook trout
and wood ticks, or whether to go
down to the river and catch catfish
and bankruptcy.
When you get up in the morning
nowadays do you feel like the opening
paragraph of a patent medicine testi-
monial, does everything you eat feel
about four sizes too large for your
stomach, are you bothered with corns,
dandrutf or ringing in the ears, and
are your nights filled with dreams
which end just before they get to you
with an ak? If so, you need rest,
you need recreation, your stomach
needs change of scenery, you need
to get away some place where your
credit is good and where there is
plenty of fresh air at reasonable rates.
After man has decided to protect
his life insurance company and take a
vacation, he finds that the next ques-
ton is where to go, but, by dropping
a postal card to the passenger agent
of any of our heartless railroad COR
porations he can, in the course OF AS
or u hours, acquire more literature
with black bass on it than he can read
between now and the end of time.
sThe Jerkwater & Northern rail-
road offers unsurpassed advantages
for tourists Along our line are
scores of summer resorts and hotels
which have every known facility for
getting your money. Our superb
train No. 4 reaches all these places
by daylight, as it stops only where
large stations or hot boxes occur"
''Speud your vacation at beautiful
Lake Lovely, the most delightful sum-
mer resort south of the north pole.

where. Lake Lovely is pronounced

ssFor those who desire an inexpen-
sive though desirable place to spend
their vacation, the Sand Beach hotel,
at Lake Sand Beach-on the-Map, cam
not be excelled. Here is the place to
secure a little recreation without
mortgagng the homestead or selling

Mountain Brook Inn, the ideal
mountain resort. Located two miles
above the sea level, IN the heart Of
Americas most beautiful range of
mountains. Pure, fresh and bracing
mountain air served to all guests
without extra charge. PARKWAY from
the clash and din of gong and whistle
and the unpent profanity of the man
who pursues street car for block
and a half and then misses it.
Besides offering a room which looks
smaller every time one enters it, and
species of hide-bound toilet soap,
which is found nowhere else, the av-
cage American summer hotel affol DIS
untold social advantages. Here the
man who at home takes in lawns to
NOV, sits down and dimes with the
railroad president, while the laun-
dress and the heiress monkey around
on the veranda together. The man
Of wealth and the man of poverty
walk arm in arm on the same social
plane, for neither knows whether the
other fellow is telling the truth about
himself or not, and the man who con-
