 There is a large camp of this sort on the border of a beautiful lake in New Hampshire. There are a central hut or 'Awigwam" and several tents. The wig wam' is rudely built, but 1t has a big fireplace, which Is a good thing on damp, cool days It's other item of luxury is an old fashioned square piano, which is brought into service when the mood for singing or dancing falls upon the campers. The "wigwam'' is dining room as well as a sitting room.
 In each tent are four or five touches. a draped box serving as bureau and wash stand and some pegs on which to hang clothes. Of these. however, the camp girl has as few as possible, and those of the simplest sort Gym suits are the reg ulation thing for camp. and one needs lit- tie else until the time comes for her to re- turn to civilization and skirts.
 The camp opens about July 1 and the girls remain until it is almost time to return to school, giving themselves only time to pay little visit to their families and to get their school wardrobes ready.

We are fGrever children. When y

And we always cry for the wrong

1t is his purpose in life always to
grasp for the useless thing, to strive
for that which has no merit, to hope
for that which perishes as soon as he
holds it in his hands. We have our
ideal Of happiness, but we endeavor
to realize it i'll ways which are not
good for us.
Happiness, as we perceive it in this

American Trade Long Ago.

To The notices which we have from
time TO time published of the favorable
posture Of trade we may add a graft
flying view of our commerce with the
United States. Its extent is probably
more considerable than our readers
would imagine. The exports from
Scotland Of manufactured goods to va
rious parts of the Union will this year
amount to about f2000,00O The mag
nitude of the sum will appear more
surprising when we consider the re-
strictions which prohibit US from tax
ing in exchange agricultural produce
A trade SO important it behooves us to
cherish with all possible care, and it is
gratifying to think that customers so
valuable are free people, little likely
to impede her prosperity by projects of
mbition.-London Globe, 1922.

KAISER AS A HUNTER.

BILE when one considers that the emper-
or can use but one arm in shooting,
says the Berlin correspondent of the
New York World.
The emperor is one of the most ardent
huntsmen in Europe. He is happiest
when living in one of his six hunting
lodges, where he never appears in uni
form. He wears q gray green hunting
suit and soft felt hat of the same
color, with a channels beard stuck into
the band. He has just completed thir-
ty years as huntsman and sportsman
and celebrated the event by sending to
every gamekeeper on his numerous
estates some token Of his regard in
presents ranging from gold watches
shoot hare at Christmas.
1t is pleasure to see his majesty on
a hunting expedition. 1t is a mistake
to suppose that he is spared all the
fatigues of hunting or that he wishes
to be spared them. He takes his stand
among the huntsmen and rejects all
privileges and all advantages offered
him. At recent wild boar drive he
shot thirty-six out of forty which
rushed past his stand, total which
was not reached by any other of the
huntsmen. This touches a sore point,
for unerring shots on other occasions
become shocking bad shots when the
emperor is present. 1t is court etiquette
not to make bag approaching in bulk
that which the emperor makes.
For big game the emperor uses a six
Or an eight millimeter rifle. 1t seldom
happens that wounded game escapes
him. What he shoots either falls inn
mediately or falls az a distance Of from
thirty to fifty yards. At his side he
wears a dagger and on bis hip a re-
volver in a red leather case. Behind
his majesty in constant attendance is
Baron Won, HeintZe, the court hunts
man, and behind the baron two rife
carriers, whose duty it is to load and
hand the weapons to the emperor.
