When you SEQ man IN Broadway who
q fat and brown and lazy In his move
mcnts. who loes along IN though he were
Hitting his eet over roots and boulders.
whose head bobs every little while as
though he would dodge tho limb OF tree,
who wipes his forehead with the suggestion
:. of cobwebs tickling his face. whose hand
y Jerks spesmodicaly as though IL bold o

and sleepy and lle carrins himself with an

lilo In Just recovering from IN attack OF
Adirondack vacation fever. Ho has been
wearing flannel shirts or q fortnight and
liked the experience. He has becn wading
In the water after trout. as no did when q
boy up In the country.
Ho has climbed trees to get hunks OF
spruce gum, walked with nervous tread
across slippery logs over q mountain tor
rent Yelled with all the strength OF his
voice to awaken the echocs Of the neishbor-
ing shore. He hns bobbed for bullheads,
speared pickerel. kicked at hedgehogs,
been out on the lake for ride In the moon
light with the pretty girl he met at the Inn.
II you approach him closely 1t Is not un-
likoly that YOU will detect about his clothing
tho unmistakable odor OF the woods; the
favor of tho camp fire and the punky
emudge.
IRE great calm and peaco and serenity
of life in the North Woods enter into and
completely envelop tho being OF evory
man, woman or child who goes thcte. The
first days are spent in watching the papers,
running to the post ofiloe and investigating
the telephone and telegraph service. Then
something changes inside. o..
at is the difference In the climate or
the change In the altitude some will tell
you.
The little themes Of camp life, the reports
of the killing OF large fish, come to interest

the boats side reduces one to tho state In
which one is uneancer,ed with anything
except the, business Of sitting stu and
breathing regularly between meals
Tho rooms Of the inn afford pleasing views
over mountain. lake and forest. The dining
room looks out upon charming landscape,
fun Of picturesque surprises OF mountain
land, ..
, Surely nowhere else is venison prepared
In 80 many and SO curious ways. Each
morning there is . plate piled high with
trout and a great abundance OF maple
syrup on each mans hapjack. One fingers
at tho pretty little tables.
Many are the histories related OF the hunt
for. the deer. Of the gentler sports Of the
angler, of tho lHbors and dangers OF the
lumbernsen and OF ths social life OF tho
hunters One retires after day and even
ng Ike this 10 sleep with the katydids In
full orchestra, amid The calls Of the whip

tales. AL is happy there in the woods. The
hours Of sleep are refreshing and delightful
in the cool summer nights- ~.
The stranger is greeted upon hia arrival
by men with bronzed aid bearded faces,
and forms that clearly bespeak their lives
