So yesterday" remarked the younger
Of the two, who may possibly have
been eight. Honest? How?" demand
ed the other, big eyed. "Oh, my father
and l bet on race, and my horse wOn,"
was the nOnchalant reply.
Before the spectator had fairly recOv-
cred from the staggering effect of this
speech a group Of little girls drew up
before the house. One of the littlest of
them was in difficulties with her hair,
which had been dressed in some occult
feminine fashion beyond the spectators
power to describe and had slipped it's
ribbon. AS an older girl struggled to re-
duce it to order she said remOnstrat-
ingly: What makes you try to wear it
this way, Gladys? It's much too
short" The little tot turned on her a
whitening glance IT'S the fashion,
she exclaimed. with crushing finality.
To these disclosures of unblinking so
phisticatiOn may be added the tale Of
a neighbOr whose little boy is just six.
He had hoped to keep the child uncon-
scious that he is the heir of millions
and had brought him up in the strictest
simplicity. And yet the other night, as
he climbed on his fathers knee for
good night kiss, he electrified the father
by demanding. Papa, how much are

Slide was roaring down a gully from
the very top of the Rainbow hills. 1t
was Il stupendOus sight. We looked at
it silently and then said, both at once,
Il thought an avalanche was sudden"
This thing wiggled like a huge snake
down a sheer 5000 feet of rock. The
roar seemed forever to increase. Dust
or smoke trailed from this thing, and
enormous powders skipped solemnly
from side to side of it's path like peb-
bles. Water mingled with it, and when
it reached the terrace it was a black
stream, viscOus and heavy.
Jack bet it wouldn't cross the half
mile of fat to the river, but in mo-
ment we saw powders shooting out
over the terrace and aspen groves fall
as If laid with a scythe. A cancerous
fan ate out to the bank and gravely
stopped over like lumpy paint, cutting
deep channels down to the river.-Out-

western North Carolina in the Spring.

Western North Carolina is attract
i've at any season of the year, but
certainly during the spring months,
when the trees are budding and the
flowers blooming, what could be more
inviting than a trip to this beautiful
mountain country?
The months of April and May in the
land of the sky and Sapphire coun-
try, including Asheville and Hot
Springs, n. c., are very enjoyable.
The climate at this season is delight
full, the scenery most beautiful and
the opportunities for the enjoyment
of sport, including golf, cannot be
surpassed.
The hotels in this region afford the
very best accommodations. If you
wish to know something of, this de-
lightful region, communicate with
your nearest ticket agent, or address
