II these DAYS of sunshine of glow.


ing warmth, In which every living
blade of grass and every rustling
tree leaf seems to bear some special
message of earth's fruitage, held no
other good for mankind than the
privilege of outdoor life this one
blessing of summer would far out
weigh Its discomforts. Cribbed and
confined through the long months
of winter within the narrow limits
of brick walls we lose the inspira.
ton that only Nature can give her
children. At their best our arti-
fcal methods of lite nine months
out of the twelve leave US woefully
self conferred. Narrowress OF vision
Is dominat modern evil among
men. To live always under cleo
tric lights and surrounded by the
rush of modern progress Is to make
us sordid, or else forgetful of the
greatness of the world forces, be.
sides which our puny inventions
are little better than the toys that
children play with. We need the
wider vision of things that Nature
urfolds for US at this season, and
the opportunity which inviting
slmth of sunshine affords for It's
ioyments leaves US no excuse for
missing the privilege.
Long ago poet wrote: Ito him
who in the love of Nature holds
communion with her visible forms,
she speaks a various' language"
We know what nature has In
store for tired braids and souls.
We studied the moods and found
them healing or instructive as the
need might be. City bred people
are especially liable to the narrow
Ing effect of isolation from the
voices of nature. We live In an at.
mosphere fairly stiflirg because of
the dominance In 1t of the purely
personal and selfish. Our little
cares, our social struggles, our
mean, narrow smbitions, all cloud
the brain and contract the outlook
On life until 'thereis little of the"di-
vine stamp of nobility" left In Our
lives. 1t Is grind, grind, day In
and day cut, while even our best
pleasures are "sicklied DER" with
the pale cast of morbid living.
The remedy for all this narrowed
living is close at hand. Get on
better terms with nature. See
with what infinite skill and with
what magnificent resources she Is
filing the earth with harvest for
humanity. All art Is excelled In a
sum mer sunset, all music eclipsed
In the rush of sounds that come
from Natures workshop. To
be under the silent stars of a sum-
mer night, surrounded BY the In
finite mountains and feeling the
throb of life that pulsates on every
side, Is to be lifted out of all mar
row conceptions of life and given a
new sense of the dignity of the
present and the solemnity of the
future. Try this going back to
Natures heart as a cure for the
sickness of your own world.worn

Since the, days when the country gentle
man OF English birth settled up the SHORES
OF Virginia and patterning his home at
te, the ancestral homes OF England, the
OLD Dominion has been the home Of the
hunter and jumper Horses bred here
have ranked high on the turf, and for
cross country riding to hounds they nave
had TO equal Virginia Saddlers have rank
ed on equality with those from the Blue
GlNss State, and the distinguished author
or Riders of Many Lands has paid high
:rihuta TO Virginia horses and incidental
ly to Virginia horsemen.
Though this was the condition from
the first, the ravaGes OF war and
the threads OF the locomotive
caused somewhat OF a decadence
IN the breeding of fine horses in
the old State, But that the old blood was
not extinct has recently been aburdanly
evidenced and to-day Virginia horses car
fy off the palm in contests with the best
blood OF all States and all countries This
IS true not only of the hunters ana jump
els. but OF hackreys, Ioadsters and heavy
harness horses.
GREAT IMPETUS.
A great impetus has been given to the
breeding Of fine horses within VERY recent
years by tho annual horse shows through
out the State at which thousands of dol
lars are given away in premiums and
where the exhibits of fine horseflesh and
fine horsemanship are the equal Of any in
the world. These shows have grown both
IA size and IN numbers. and this year the
circuit has been larger than ever before
beginning with the Upperville Show,
which, by the way. IS the oldest in the
country. The association having begun
back in the ffties. there have been fine
exhibits at Leesburg, Manassas. orange.
Charlottesville. Winchester, Front Royal,
Harrisonburg and Berr1-yille. The circuit
is not closed and there are Yet to be seen
the Warrenton, Richmond and Lynchburg
Shows.
The Richmond Association. despite the
unfortunate destruction by fire of their
building. have set to work and a new
i and better one is now being erected. The
entry list is a long one, and some of the
best horses of the country will be seen
here in the fall under the flare Of electric
lights and the still more dazzling light
of beauty's eyes.
And after the Virginia circuit of shows
has closed many of the horses that have
borne off the ribbons VIII go to the New
York show, where. doubtless. as in years
past, they will uphold the reputation of
Virginia as the breeding-place of fine
horses. Among the horses that have
carried off honors in the northern shows
are Amaret the handsome bay gelding
..of Mr.. Charles Hurlsamp: Holnpipe, inc
large roam belonging to his wife, and
Euck. Nirginia-bred horse. the prop
a<ty OF Mrs. Deitrick, of Baltimore.

he has shown him at many of the big
shows.
