racking, nerve shattering work. physi-
cal and mental exertion, feels a new
JOY in his heart when he abandons
himself TO idle hours OF fishing. of
hunting, or lazy afternoons spent in
some shady spot where the rumbling
Of the mountain river and the cries OF
the wild birds sOOthe the brain and
feed the heart with a new and welcome
peace.
