THE SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE
Something That Is Requisite to Make
a Vacation Thoroughly
Enjoyable.

1t was a lovely June evening,
and half a dozen of the neighbOrs
had dropped in upon the Har-
lows wide piazza, where the talk,
drifting idly from one subject to
another, finally touched upon sum
mer plans. Everyone was going
away for a longer or shorter time,
and every one groaned over the
prospect, says Youths COmpan-
ion. The rooms were so small,
they said, and the table not nearly
so good as your own, and some
times you met with unpleasant
people and in a rainy spell you
were bored to death, and there was
all the packing and unpacking and
shutting and opening the house
again, and
There was one of the group who
had been a listener up to this
point; now she spoke. "The
trouble is" she declared, chat not
one woman in fifty knows how to
take a vacation"
Half a dozen incredulOus faces
turned in her direction, but having
taken her ground she was not to be
driven from it.
Think OF the women you've met
at summer resorts" she urged,
~ don't mean girls, of course
they are another stOry'-but the
average woman. How much real
recreation is she getting sittingo on
the piazza day after day, doing
fancy work? Or telling her neigh
bOrs of all her perplexities and
troubles? Or taking a few aimless
walks and wondering if supper
will be as poor as the dinner was!
Vacation means leisure, doesn't
it? A freedom from old thoughts
and duties for a few days or weeks
that one may get fresh thought
and strength and JOY for work
again, How many of us do it,"
"What," one of the audience in
quired, respectfully, would you
suggest as a requisite for a real
vacation?"
"The spirit of adventure" was
the prompt reply, (which, beingin
terpreted, means the open heart
quick to receive the gifts of the
days. A hobby is a good thing, toe
if you don't have it too hard
enough OF a hobby to amuse you:
self but not to bore other people
But the open heart is best"
81 believe you're right" one o
the others said, thoughtfulIy
Owe never forgotten an old lad,
we met in the mountains one sum
mer. She was nearly 20, but sh,
was the brightest, happiest person
in the house. She was always dis
covering new pleasures, new PEG
pie, new things to do and new
placestogO to. never understood
the secret before, but l think nov
she must have been one Of the borl
adventurers to whom every da.
and every person meant a new pos
sibility."
"But why" a third asked
slowly, "isn't the spirit of adver
ture, the open heart, whateve
you choose to call it, good 70
home days as well as vacations?
The lecturer turned quickly
Odd l ever say it wasn't?" sh
asked.

ARE GOOD

S AXE 1OOO AM ~ D.
As briefly outlined in the press
dispatches from Washington, the
amendments offered by Senator Clark
to the bill for opening a portion of
the Crow reservation are of such a
nature as to merit the approval of
every person interested in the success
of the measure. One OF these amend
ments provides for raising the maxi
mum price of the land per acre in
accordance with the agreement ar
rived at between President Roose-
welt and Representative Dixon, and
by which much of the OPPOSITION to the
bill was overcome and through which
the promise of the president to sign
DIT, should it pass, was received.
The other amendments deal with
the manner of paying for the land
sold ait the maximum price Of four dol
Jars an acre. Without depriving the
Indians for an unduly long time Of
the use Of the money derived from the
sale of the land, the settlers are still
given generous time in which to pay
for it, the evident intent of the amend
ment being to enable them to place
the land upon a producing basis and
thereby make it capable of paying
for itself leaving the settler with
sufficient of his original capital to
make the needed improvements and
thereby save him from the necessity
Of plunging into debt at the very out
set.
Most important of all and the one
for the success of which the greatest
desire is felt is the amendment per-
mitting the president to use his judg-
meht in the mater of Offering at a
reduced maximum price the land re-
manning unsold after the most desira-
BILE portions have been selected and
settled upon. Very wisely no effort
is made to fix an arbitrary price
upon such remaining land. Also very
wisely it is provided that the execu-
tive shall employ his discretion as to
the number of such reductions he
may make. In this regard he is Ito be
governed solely by his sense OF what
constitutes a fair and equitable value
of the ~undisposed land. In this man
Qer he may continue to offer the
land until all shall be disposed of.
Excellent business sense is shown
in this particular amendment, and
the nor it is considered the more it
must commend itself. If properly car
ried out it will mean that title shall
pass to every acre of the ceded strip
and that the wards of the government
for whose benefit cession is made
will receive some consideration for
every inch of their reservation with
which they have parted. There will
be no waste or unproductive land
90 far as they are concerned, Tor all
will find a purchaser, as it all pos
sesses some value, for one purpose or
another. Much that has no worth for
agricultural application is still more
or less valuable for grazing purposes
and will be in demand as such.
Aside from promising benefits to
the Indians, the amendment. also is
fruitful OF promise in another direc-

will be made eventually to contribute
it's proper share Of the taxes of the

With the incentive held out ultimately
for the acquisition of cheap lands,
buyers will be found for the o un-
desirable portions and in proportnion

there will be no large tracts of public

SOUNDS a NOTE OF WARNING

Editor StoyalI, one of the most con :
servative members of the House,
sounds in the Savannah Press note
of warning relative to the danger
threatening the states most valuable
property, the Western & Atlantic
railway, now seriously menaced by
the Louisville & Nashville. Mr. StoVall
has given the subject deep study, and
he fully appreciates the danger men
acing Georgia's valuable property.
He, at least, does not believe that
President Smith Of the Louisville &
Nashville is bIufiug in parallelIng the
State Road, which would prove the
ruin of that now magnificent property
worth millions of dollars. Mr. StoYall
suggests the appointment of COM

wholly disinterested railroad men to
Investigate the case for the state.

protect the States interests if it will
only quit its 'penny wise and pound
