IT may be that az hospital is not
needed in Kenosha some people said
SO, anyway, when asked to contribute
and it may be that they were right
It may be noted, however, that there
were number of patients ready for
the hospital before the hospital was
ready for them, SO there must be some
use for an institution of this kind in
the city.

Men of affairs In New York find it

You would ask of the years to stay

Because we then write them with ink.

The Unknown Swami.

Within twenty miles of one of the
largest and most energetic of the
Southern cities of the coast, and on the
border lands Of two of the oldest
Southern States, there lies district
some two or three hundred square
miles in extent, but little better known
at this day than 1t was $50 years ago
when George Washington himself laid
out a route through it's wilderness.
The name alone, "The Dismal
Swamp" Is a by-word everywhere.
When the spring is far enough along
for the wild honeysuckle and jasmine
and the arbutus vines to be hanging in
delicious masses over the sides of the
bitches and reaching down to the red
brown water, Of color so clear and
warm and sunny, then there Is a fes-
tival time In the Swamp. Companies
of young people come from the villages
lying around the borders of the
swamp, twenty or thirty at time.
with some slight camping outfit, en-
bark on large, fat-bottomed dugouts
that draw but little water, and then
are poled up the bitches for ten or
twelve miles from the fertile farm
lands Of the outer world to the saw
agely luxuriant beauty of lake hid
den in the midst of the wilderness.
Then at a camp on the lake shore they
spend night or two, fishing in the
lake, polling along its shores, doing a
little shooting perhaps, much dancing
in the evenings and merry-making, un.
til they are poled out again, often by
a different route. A real spring fes-
tlval that has been a habit In that
country for many years.-Leslie's

MR ABEL TRAvERS stood at the
lNW gate and watched her lovers
retreating figure until 1t dis
appeared round bend in the road.
There was discontented expression
on her handsome face as she walked
slowly back to the house and entered
her mothers drawing room.
Mrs. Travers looked up from her
work as Mabel, with a little impa-
tient sigh, threw herself into a chair.
We'll, dear?" she said brightly.
We'll" returned Mabel in a tone
that implied the contrary.

mother. "You haven't quarrel with
Leslie, / suppose " she added, play
fully.
"No-yes-at least, really, I'm not
quite sure" was the unexpected re-
ply.
Tel me-" said Mrs. Travers.

"Oh, l know I'm a wretch to say

Mother, Leslie and l have been
having a business talk. That's what

But very necessary. Leslie was

"Yes-I suppose so. He said that,
as we were to be married so soon
now, 1t was only right that l should
know exactly what he could offer me-
Oh, mother had no idea that Leslie
was so miserably poor!"
Mrs. Travers eyed her daughter with
troubled look.

his income" she said.

little It was till he went into all the
wretched details about rent, and serv-

all the rest of 1t. Oh, 1t all seemed
so mean and sordid"
And Mabel flung out her hands with
little gesture Of impatience.
"I am very sorry to hear you say
that, Mabel" said Mrs. Travers grave
ly. "It-it almost makes me afraid"
she went on hesitatingly, you ought
never to have promised to marry Les

kind of wife for him, dear"

Mrs. Travers rose from her chair and
laid her hand lightly on the girls dark

And the girl spoke truly. She knew
that she loved Leslie, yet she was mis-
erably conscious of disappointment
and disillusionment. That day she
had realized, for the first time, the
prosaic meaning of a limited income.
She had been accustomed to. think
vaguely Of poverty as a rather rO-
mantle kind of thing that made love
all the more delightful. Leslie's state
ment of hard facts had scattered all
her pretty, sentimental notions to the
winds. Her heart had sunk within
her as she listened to her lovers de-
scription Of their future home-amod-
est villa In the suburbs, with one maid
to assist her in her household duties.
She dreaded the prospect Of all the
petty economies they would be obliged
to practice, and for a moment, though
she hated herself for 1t the next, she
had felt almost angry with Leslie be-
cause he was not richer man. She
loved Leslie, she told herself again and
again, and yet

cANADA's DIAMOND FlkLDs.

SANAOA = OIAMONO ftHIOS.
Mines as Rich as Those of South Af-
rica, Perhaps, Near Hudson's bay.
Somewhere in the far North, south
of Hudson's Bay, lie undiscovered dia-
mond fields as rich as those of South
Africa. At least, this is the assertion
of Professor w. H. Hobbs in an article
written for the Popular Science
Monthly.
In proof Of his remarkable statement
Professor Hobbs has prepared a map
which shows within few hundred
miles where the great diamond belt
may be found.
The reason of his investigation was
the discovery of the following seven
diamonds In Wisconsin and adjoining
States:
Eagle stone" 16 carats
oregon diamond .......... 4 carats
hohlsville diamond 81 carats
Saukville diamond ........ 6 carats
Burlington diamond .......... 2 carats
Dowagiac stone" IL carats
Milford diamond .......... 6 carats
These diamonds were picked up by
farmers who were ignorant of their
worth, and kept as curios for years be-
fore their true value was discovered
The Saukville diamond was kept on
the clock shelf of farmhouse for six
teen years before 1t was recognized as
anything but a curious bit of bright
quartz.
The Eagle stone" was kept for sew
en- years and then sold to Milwaukee
jeweler for dollar, neither buyer nor
seller having any idea Of it's worth.
Perhaps the strangest fact about
these discoveries that attracted the
attention Of Professor Hobbs was that
the soil in which these seven diamonds
were found was not in any case the
kind from which diamonds could be
produced
In spite Of all the digging and delv-
ing that followed every discovery no
second stone was ever found.
Professor Hobbs soon discovered
that all these diamonds, besides
number Of smaller ones, had been
found along the ridges Of land formed
millions of years ago by the great gla-
ciers that had moved down from the
north.
He at once concluded that the pre-
cious gems had been carried to the
places where they were found by those
moving icefelds that are known to
have existed long before there was any
life on this planet.
When at last the glaciers stopped
and melted, the diamonds which they
had carried on their backs were
dropped upon the ground, to be dis
covered ages afterward by Wisconsin
farmers.
The important question, therefore, to
be answered is: At what place did
the glaciers pick up the diamonds?
Professor Hobbs replies by tracing
seven lines northward from the places
where the stones were found showing
that they come almost to a point JUST
south of Hudson Bay.
"The ancestral home of these dia-
monds," says Professor Hobbs, "must
be in the wilderness of Canada be-
tween the points where the several
tracks converge upon one another. 1t
Is by no means improbable that when
the barren territory about Hudson
Bay is thoroughly explored a region
for profitable diamond mining may be
revealed"-New York World.
