ing in the world but the doings of the next-door neighbor. Down the sandy road stroIls 8 familiar figure; he saunters slowly by, until, as if att tracted by the friendly greetings, he decides to enter on friendly call. The welcome given and compliments exchanged, he seats himself upon a mat thrown in the center of the floor. There is so much etiquette and courtesy in such an elaborate affair among these people that considerable time is consumed in polite nothings.
 However, time is no object, and all settle down for a comfortable chat. Near the end of the visit the caller, bearing in mind the object of his coming, speaks about the success of his hosts fishing expedition. This being we'll talked over, he says:
 "Of fish we. have not such plenty, but of seeds we have goodly num- ber,' drawing from his loin cloth string of the bright-colored seeds so greatly used in decoration.
 His host languidly assents that the string of seeds is very fine, but evinces no enthusiasm: he knows, wary old fellow, the meaning of this perform ance.
 And of marbles we have collected as the sands on the shore" Marbles such as the white children play are 8 great delight to these simple people and they will sit and play by the hour with half dozen crooked mar bles.
 This still is hardly enough to tempt the looked-for answer. The marbles never fail to rouse enthusiasm, but there is no question of an exchange.
 With a few more words, and sundry graceful phrases, the marbles and seeds are returned to their hiding

raked over her nude body as she re- tired each night to sleep.
 So within the shelter of small grove near which her uncle's home nestles and where there were no passersby, Miss Dunnington nightly buried herself be- meath her blanket of soft, warm earth.
 During all the summer months just passed this modern Diana has slept thus, while her faithful dog Nero and the stars twinkling in the clear heavens thus kept vigil during the long hours of the night.
 Each morning during the last five months, as Miss Dunnington awoke, dawn has seen her-no one else has, however, in her usual bathroom costume as she has taken regularly her early morning roll in dewey clover bank in what she calls the bath of the gods.
 After she had shaken off her strange coverlet and had taken her roll In the morning dew, she would then run half a mile through the woods, like some leftover naiad, to 8 secluded lake near by.
 Then she would take her early morn ing plunge into the cold clear water. Her swim over, she would emerge into the early morning sunshine again, which would serve for all the drying purposes of towel.
 Then, draped in thin white cloth tunic, like girl of old Greece-only more so-Miss Dunnington would spend the day with her dog Nero out in the woods among the Colorado hills just growing young and taking unto herself all the eternal youth which complete outdoor life alone can bring
 Whenever intrusion would compel her to do so, Miss Dunnington has thrown over her shapely form a simple tunic and this has been all the clothing she has allowed herself to wear during the entire summer.

NOT REAL LABoRERs.
Lawyers and Bankers Are Not l
 Wealth Producers.

Lawyers and Bankers Are Not
 Wealth Producers.
 The American Labor Union Journal. under the caption, Are Bankers and Lawyers Laborers?" has the follow ing editorial in a recent issue:
 ''District Attorney Bee in a Labor day address to the Builders Exchange at San Antonio, Tex, made the state ment that we are all laborers. The banker in his counting room, the law yer and his briefs, the merchant, the mechanic, the artisan and he who by manual labor earns his bread, all are in the great army of labor
 ''This is indeed an adroit play upon the word labor In the strictly eco homie sense labor means that which produces wealth and adjusts the re- sources of nature to the needs of socie- ty. The banker, the lawyer and their fellow parasites produce no wealth, though they may-nay, often do-Work hard in taking wealth from it's actual producers. We do not deny that, using the term in it's loose meaning, they la bor in the sweat of their brows on hot days and in the fever of defending the robber barons of modern capitalism But Dick Turpin, Captain Kidd and the Dalton brothers were all as lard working men as the legal hunkies and the money changers of the courts and counting rooms.
 ''The lawyer and the banker are par asites just as much as the flea and the tubercle are. They fatten upon the so- cial organism and grow plethoric upon the misfortunes of their fellow men. They render absolutely no aid in tha production of wealth nor in it's needful distribution and adjustment to the re- quirements of humanity. They are simply consumers of wealth and breed, CTS of famine. They do not belong to the working class. They have no sym pathies with the proletariat, and they, as body, are on the other side of the class struggle in every conflict between the workers and the shirkers."

places and the visitor rises, ostens1bly to take his departure. He is not al- lowed to depart, however, but is de- tained upon one pretext or another until he finally says, with an air of having just thought of an interest ing fact:
 ''The commandant has presented my unworthy wife with one fine little fowl and it has laid several most ex- cellent eggs; allow me to offer to you that you might share in our humble belongings; we have not that of which we do not present to you"
 This is the finish; with loud protestations of delight and gratitude the egg is taken. Then is produced some of the fish, one or two small ones are pressed upon the seemingly unwilling guest; the marbles are brought out again and graciously pre- sented, more fish are discovered, and finally the seed strings are thrown about the neck of the protesting host, who now completes the fish exchange. With many compliments the well- pleased purchaser withdraws.
