thing remarkable. But Bobby, Johnny
and Tommy can easily devise many
schemes to turn this part Of the work
into actual fun. The girls of the party
will take charge Of the culinary opera
tions-always under the watchful eye
of materfamilias- of the washing
and cleaning Of dishes and clothes.
There will be plenty Of work for all to
do, but all will have time for recrea-
ton If the camp is managed On the
right lines. And when the summer is
at an end, and the time comes to bid
adieu to the streams and lakes and
woodland, the campers will one and all
agree that they have had ''the best

CAMPING OUT IN SUMMER.
How a Joyous and Economical Outing
May Be Held.

How a Joyous and Economical Outing
May Be Held.
There are great many families
who spend their summer in town un-
der the mistaken impression that they
cannot Afford to 60 away from
home. If they only knew it there is
one sure means Of passing the heated
season In a most enjoyable way and
even at less expense than is entailed
by keeping house in town. Camping
out will solve the problem, as many
people can gladly testify. 1t is always
an easy matter to find pleasant
camping site within a few miles Of
home, and it Is astonishing what fun
can be derived from leading the life Of
the gypsy, to say nothing Of the re-
sultant benefits to health. !
The first thing to do is to decide Just
where the camp shall be located. If
possible it should be near a lake or q
dmpid stream Of water, for apart from

smooth paper and then he was set
down on the floor. Then a spool tied
to string was put before him. Dick
loved to play with spools, and was
quick to catch them. He liked to
play ball with them or make believe
they were mice to be tossed or wor-
ried. But when Dick tried to catch
the spool with his paper boots on
it was funny sight. His legs went
wherever they chose. They did not
care what he wanted at all. Each foot
went skating by itself, and left poor
Dick fat On the floor. He kicked,
rolled over and over, and was the
most puzzled cat you ever saw. He
looked at that lively spool. winked at
1t, snatched at it, but could never
catch 1t. He thought that it was the
queerest spool he had ever seen, and
that his feet were the queerest things
he had ever owned.-St Nicholas.

the pleasures Of boating and bathing
fresh water Is one Of the great neces-
saries of the camp just as it is nee
essary Of the house. In any event care
should be taken to see that the sum-
mer home Sin the wilderness" is in a
healthy spot, not too difficult Of access
and yet removed from anything that
may serve to remind the campers Of
the town they have deserted-for no
body can really enjoy camping out un-
til he can unrestrainedly enter into the
spirit of the woods and mountains.
The site of the camp finally decided.
father and mother should hold a con-
sultation to determine just what is
needed in the way Of accoutrements
and food supply.
They will do we'll to consult, If pos
sible, somebody who has had expert
ence in spending a summer in a tent,
else they may fall into the grievous er-
ror Of taking more things along than
they really require, and while it will
not do to 60 into camp empty handed
it is almost equally inconvenient to
carry SO much baggage that one does
not know what to do with.
In pitching the tent select knoll in
preference % a low or hollow spot Of
ground and be sure to dig a shallow
trench, five or six inches wide, around
the spot on which the tent is to stand,
getting the trench as close to the tent
as possible. This will insure the tent
floor being perfectly dry. The tent
should stand in an open space where
the sun shines freely. If possible have
the ground slope from back to front,
unless you are using ''conical' tent.
in which case slope will be found
very inconvenient. Pull the canvas
taut and see that it stretches to the
ground. but do not pull the guy ropes
too tight, for the first rain will cause
them to shrink. and II there Is no yield
to them something will have to give
way, and mayhap the tent viii come
crashing tn the ground.
Just how the days shall be spent by
the campers must be left to their in
dividual tastes and to the varying
recreations offered by their surround
ings. But in order for everybody
thoroughly to enjoy the outing it is
Incumbent on each to perform cheer
fully the duties allotted by the head
Of the camp-usually the mother of
the family, for the father Is hard at
work in town getting the pennies that
make the camp possible Undoubted-
ly the most onerous task il to keep the
nrs well supplied with wood, for the
way In which even the most modest

THE CHATAUOUA,
EDITOR CITIZEN.

EOlTOh NITiZEN:
Every resident OF Lancaster county
should join in making the suggestion of
the VIRGINIA CITIZEN a success, the es-
adjustment of Chatauqua at Wharton
Grove. Nothing will elevate the morals
OF any community more than clean, edu-
eating lectures, aud no place on the
Rappahannock river is better suited for
the purpose. 1t is the most elegant sheet
of navigable water to be found and il
could be made resort and popular seat
of learning. Lectures could be delivered
ali through the summer months by The
most eminent divines, scientist, and
scholars of the country; so It would
become in a short time a great educa-
tional agency.
The location is accessible to both land
and water travel, and within mile of
Weems' steamboat wharf. Let us all
work for the success of the scheme; it is
something that will rebound to the best
interests of the people and locality.
