Now, see here; the hat you want Is
good investment. 1t Will do over
four or FIVE seasons, and the lace is
good. New flowers won't cost much.

who is to wear II first?"

That's fair" said Minnie. Mrs.
Pierce, with great gravity, spun n

face down. SO Minnie was to wear Il
first.
They bought the hat that night. Both
tried 1t on I'm their ordinary and then
their best suits. Minnie wore a high
pompndour and tipped the hat back on
her head so that It formed an aureole
above her face. Mary brought II down
over her brow, as she wore her nbun-

the back and coiled there. The hat
adapted itself 20 each pretty face.

OUR OWN MOUNTAINS.

The tide of summer travel has
set to Europe. The city papers
are filled with advertisements of ex-
cursions across the water TO places
three or four thousand miles away.
Such trips are fine, and those who
can take them are fortunate in many
ways. But no West Virginia should
envy those who 60 to the Alps or
the cities OF Germany or the glens
of Scotland. Our own mountains
may not compare with tae Alps in
hight, and our rough streams are
smaller than the Rhine; but those
who seek beauty and ruggedness
and romance, the cool air. the cold
weather, the bright skies, may End
all they seek among our own West
Virginia hills.
The most rugged county in the
state is Pendleton. 1t has sleeper
cliffs, more typical mountain passes,
higher mountains, and deeper ra-
vines, than any other Of our counties.
1t is to the gcographer, geologis,,
and the botanist, the most interest
lag part of our state. Its rocks
stand on edge, exposing in short
space countless ages of deposits.
Its botany covers the range from
Canada TO Virginia. From the top
of the Alleghenies to the north fork
of the Potomac one can walk in
two hours, and IN that distance pass
through the range Of pan, life which
one would see in travelling from
Hudson bay to North Carolina.
The beauties and wonders of
nature are almost limiiless, and they
are open to many person who
could not stand the expense of a
trip to Europe once in life time.
Our people do not appreciate what
we have. Some people, however,
do not appreciate anything. They
can't 1t is not in them. No
matter where they go, they see
nothing, hear nothing, think moth
ing. But for those who have eyes
to see, and hearts to appreciate
and understand the wonderful things
which natures hand has fashioned,
summer jaunt among our noun
tains and forests, by our rivers and
brooks, is sufficient to renew the
wine of life.
For ruggedness Of hills, and quiet
ness of wales go to Pendleton, Grant.
Hardy, and Hampshire. For wilder
ness and grandeur of forest covered
mountains and plateaus, seek Green
brire, Pocohontas, Randolph, Web
ster and Nicholas. Those two
groups are the grandest and the
most replete with natures witness
and peace. But there are many
other localities in our state almost
their equal. There is enough To
please. delight, and inspire any one
whoes sensibiities are capable of
approaching natures works

Now that the Senate Committee
has followed the recommendations
OF the majority OF the engineer
experts to build the Panama on the
sea-level plan, there should be no
more delay in pushing the work.
There is no doubt that in view Of
the danger to locks and dams from
earthquakes, the sea level type is
the only safe one Il may cost q
little more and take little longer
TO build, and those who talked so
mucn about making the dirt Nv"
may be disgruntled, but making
haste slowly ia work Of this
magnitude, is the only safe policy.
