DON'T FIGHT THE WEATHER.
Try the Plan Of Being on Friendly
Terms With Il.

What great misfortune this is, the
habit Of considering the weather-of
thinking that we must consider the
weather! II is largely due, is 1t not, to
clothes? No mention is made of rain
In the garden Of Eden, but we must
not therefore contend that rain was
disareeable and omitted. We must
recollect that Adam and Eve did not
need to consider rain. Furthermore,
in blessed ignorance they did not know
that 1t was anything to be considered.
To mind the rain no more than the
May sunshine, but to plunge into 1t
and let the drops pelt as they will, to
accept snow without thought of dis
comfort, but, rather, TO enjoy the
thronging presence of It; to pursue
ones daily stint regardless of whether
the sky be dun or bue--this is state
which we, especially of the cities, long,
long have lost.
We regain II, some Of us, In the will
derness camp, where we hunt or fish
II the day be dark or II the day be
bright, aud where we find that the
dash of the soft rain on ones face is
not death, after all; that wetness and
dryness are merely relative terms,
All the centuries Of fussing and FUN
Ing with the weather have not affected
the weather one particle. 1t still rains
and SHOWS and sleets aud blows, just
as dictated by circumstances, There
fore, what's the use? Are your puny
diatribes or mine Of any greater po-
tency than those Of others gone be-
fore? Evidently not. Accordingly try
the plan OF being friendly with the
weather, OF agreeing with ii instead Of
fighting 1t, and, pom my word, pres
emily 1t will be agreeing with you.-

1--WE ran out of tobacco while fishing
In the Canadian wilds," said a club
man. "Our guides put us on to kinni-
kinic, and we smoked that for ten
days. 1t wasn't bad.
"Kinnikinic is the inner bark Of the
red willow. You dry 1t. then you cut
1t up. 1t really tastes like tobacco.
The Indians always use 1t when they
can't get the real thing, and l under

Canadian tobacco that are favored
with kinnikinic. ."--Washington Times.

The Egyptian cobra is not unlike Its

the absence of the curious spectacle

reptile known 20 lnhabit northern AZ

QUESTION IS RAISED.
Can the French President Participate

Paris. Aug. 5.-The marriage of Madamoisselle Annie Fallieres, daugh- ter of the President of the French republic to J. J. Elanes, the Presi- dents secretary. which Is to take place in the Church of the Madelaine Au- gust 10, has raised the question whether or not the President can par ticipate in the ceremony, owing to the fact that all French officials who were concerned in the adoption of the law providing for the separation of Church and State have been excom- municated.
 According to the church organ the Gaulois, the Archbishop of Paris. bas- ing his conclusion on one of the acts of the Council of Trent, has decided that inasmuch as the ban of eZcom- munication was not published by Rome in the church and not given great prominence in the religious world. the presence of President Fallieres at the church would be federated"
