THE CHARMS OF MOROCCO.
a Land That Is Full of Charm and
Variety for the Traveller Who
wanders There.

Few countries have more delights
for the traveller than Morocco. There
are neither roads nor bridges to en-
barrass his choice. The customs and
manners of the people are a in the
days of Abraham. Rivers and swamps
create difficulties, to overcome which
is a pleasant exercise, while the ia
naticism and aloofness of the hill
tribes and of some of the cities in
the interior give spice of adventure
without any real danger. I have
breathed the air of the Arabian and
African deserts, and of the high yeldt,
and have tasted the wild freedom of
the Australian bush, but no experience
surpasses a ride in Morocco, says a
writer in London Standard.
Reused at dawn by the movement of
the camp, you turn out of your tent to
see the horses fed and saddled and to
chaff or scold the muleteers into max
ing preparations for the march. No
child can be more wayward and no
mule more obstinate than a Moor, yet
no one is more easily managed by
little frmness and good temper. A
joke viii stem the torrent of tumul-
tuous protest and turn it to laughter.
A cigarette or a pinch of snuff will
melt the heart of hadji who has done
the pilgrimage 30 Mecca, and the pres
ent of a knife or pair of cheap scis-
sors viii give you a whole village for
friend.
Tents and equipment are packed on
the mules, and at last the caravan is
in motion. You have breakfasted on
eggs and chicken and dates, with which
the country abounds, and are ready
for a 30-mile ride. The land is full
of the charm of variety. In a days
journey you may cross a wide plain
covered with palmetto, or dwarf palm,
and pass by groves of olive and fig
and walnut and orange and argan trees.
The cool shade of a lotus, juniper, or
even a sharp-pointed aloe or prickly
pear viii tempt you to lunch and re-
pose in the heat of the day upon the
bank of some purling stream. You
ride through mile after mile of wheat
and barley and maize and millet, for
Morocco might be the granary of west
ern-Europe. Bat most beautiful of all
are the wild flowers and herbs.
Not even Palestine. which blossoms
as a garden under the rains of early
spring, can compare with the land of
the Moors. The earth is clothed with
rainbows, and garlands of brilliant
flowers are spread at your feet. Your
horse treads on wild mint and purple
aromatic thyme, and the air is filled
with their fragrance. A rich purple
carpet of vipers' bugloss has heavy
border of pimpernel, scarlet and rose.
Bluebells lie like an imperial mantle
fringed with the azure of borage and
groidered with the pink white blooms
of anemone. Scattered among the
grass are ladies' smocks, all silver
white, with golden sprigs of musk bal
sam, and blue and pink immortelles.
Moon daisies, with large golden bosses
set in white bow before the breeze,
and convolvuli of every tint, from
white to lilac and deep rose, open
their delicate bells to the sun.
BY the side of the bride path are
mallows of many shades. beautiful to
look upon and sweet to breathe in the
cool of the evening-musk mallows
with large rose blossoms, dwarf NAL
lows with pale lilac flowers, and many

Banks knew very well that he
could not afford to pay $50 for a pair
of shooting boots, but he reasoned
with himself, after the sophistical
manner Of those who know the JOYS
of extravaganza, that his tNvice-a-
year trip to his Long Island club
for two days of duck shooting was
really the only luxury he allowed
himself and his economies in other
directions deserved reward, relates
the New York Mail and Express
So Banks bought the boots, and
told his wife nice little story about
a friend who had struck a bargain
in boots and he had let him have a
pair ''for practically nothing" The
boots were not worth much anyhow.

"And what do YOU think happened
to those boots!" he said two days
later to a group of sympathetic
friends on change. "A junk ped
dler came around the next day and
my wife sold him my $50 boots for
so cents. She knew they were Of no

HOME SUPPLIES.

Southern farmers cannot be aroused
too fully to the importance of planting
a considerable area of their farming
lands in wheat during the next sixty
days. The price of provisions and all
kinds commodities used on the farm
are continually advancing in price, and
farmers should DO everything possible
TO raise home supplies.

A NECESSITY.

The primary kills the interest in the
regular election, and there is small
vote polled; hence the importance of
protecting with Australian ballot sys-
tenn the primary, which practically de-
termines the legal election Every
man should be made to vote in his own
precinct to prevent repeating.
