The Story of u nrnc y

To lovers of outdoors iEcre are few
things in the wide world which are
more enchanting, more altogether de-
lighting, than just such Il brook. whose
course-whose life, SO to speak, have
been trying to bring TO the mind OF
those who know all its turns and
Shims and cuprices i'll summer and in
winter, in spring and in autumn, when
much rain had maddcncd it and when
none had caused it to shrink into u
warped thing of nature without form
and void. We may be hundreds Of
miles from the brook which we know
best, but we know it is flowing just as
1t used to do. and there is ever the
thought that il we cannot see it in It's
daily moods there are others who may
do so. And. no matter the name of the
peaceful valley through which it flow
ed or where that valley may be, it
was the brook of our childhood, and
there is Il brook, or ought to be. away
back somewhere in the mind of every
one whose heart and memory take him
back to the scenes where mt least some
younger days We're spent. Outdoors.

existing in the world today are TO-
mantle. How shall the Imagination
be schooled, where shall the line be
drawn!
1t should be considered part Of
morality to live within the income, but
on every side there seems to he an
attempt to stretch the $1,000 income to
u $1,000 scale. the $1,000 income to u
$4,000 scale, $1,000 is made to do duty
for $4,000 and $4,000 is thinly stretched
to the breaking point " stimulate u
$4,000 income. With every added dol
lar the horizon OF wants will widen
unless the Imagination is wisely school
ell. Sadly do we need training to draw
the line between wants and needs.
