COUNTRY PATHWAYS
BY THE BACHELOR.

and perhaps they are far happier in their
noble simplicity. sas
The cottage home on the hill embodies
a world of pleasant reflections. The pa
tent mother sits In the door darning a
stocking for the little one. The husband
and father is toiling in the meadow in
sight of the home. You see the mother
and wife look fondly, proudly toward the
meadow and then upon her happy chill
dren playing before the door.
The picture fills your soul with tender
ness. Kings and queens in palaces can
love no. more than these nor get more
of the real peace and gladness that comes
to contented living.
The stately school house in the edge
of the grove has its little world of child
ish romance. 1t is alive with youthful
ambitions and youthful SORROWS, real or
imagined. The spirit of boyhood and
grlhood dreams seems to hold possession
of the old building. You remember your
own early experiences and your cheek
grows moist as you take an inventory Of
the dreams that did not come true.
You remember the curly locks of brown
hair and the mischievous eyes that were
the delicious torture of your boyhood.
You had not thought of her for years
perhaps and you wonder what has be-
come of her. Perhaps she Is old, stately,
sober, motherly now and commonplace,
but you cannot picture her 80. She is
the same aggravating. delicious witch to
you and will always be-when you have
time to think of her.
Then you wonder If she grew up and
married Tom Jones, that ugly, stubborn,
dull, hateful boy who was few years
your senior and your rival not only for
the smiles of Mary but for class honors
and captain of the ball team.
No, that cannot be. You feel sure that
those smiles for you when you climbed
the water oak to get her the most luc-
cious muscadines could have meant moth
ing more than that you We're the favored
one, but school was out. you went away
to boarding school, from there to college.
and-well, you kept drifting away and
soon forgot. Did she forget? You are
half afraid that she did. Then you are
half afraid that she did not.
Then you catch yourself wondering If
you would not have been happier il
you had stayed on the farm and had
grown up to be the man moving hay
in the meadow with curly locks and
dancing eyes, watching your move
ments from the cottage door while she
mended a little stocking.

After being cooped up in stuffy, busy
office for Il months, buried in the mean
slavery of business routine it is like a
journey to a real Elyseum to take a spin
through the country on a Pullman.
You feel the marrow in your bones
warming up and your soul revels in a
new dream of life as you whirl through
browning forests, fragrant meadows and
fields ripe with the golden harvests of
autumn.
You had gone daily to the little cage of
an office, walking the same dull streets
and avenues, jostling the same insane,
embarrassing, selfish people until you
had forgotten the great, wide, beautiful
world that lay beyond these sordid envi-
rons. You had become a machine-a part
of the clogged mill of commerce that
grinds the body and soul into dust
You had almost forgotten God, your
childhood, the real joy of living.
But now a new world. the old world
renewed in beauty, is revived. The life
giving air from the mountains and mead
ows intoxicates you with sheer pleasure.
The sweet smells from the woods and
corn fields thrill you with an agony of
delight The song of the mountain brook
and the falling leaves stir riots of glad
ness In your bosom.
You find something of interest in every
changing view through the window. The
brown hills and hazy mountains are elo-
quent of romance and strange dreams.
The weather beaten church at the foot of
the hill near the spreading beech tree
where bubbles a sparkling well of water
is the scene of many hopes and joys In
your Imagination. You live over the
eourtships of SWANS and lasses that you
never knew. Your heart thrills with
their joys, their hopes and their fears
the simple service at the church or
er the simple serveice at the church or
wandered hand In hand down the long
lane toward Her home
You realize that they were simple peo-
pie, unsehooled in the ways of the world,
but they are sympathetic sensitive and
alive to the keen emotions that stir the
heart and the finer affections. They love
as kings may love, hope as princes may
hope and suffer as keenly as the greatest
martyrs. They are people as you and 1,

years ago there were 100000 jack rab-

been killed in the immediate vicinity of
Bakersville. In a drive at Fresno, 10000
lacks were killed, and $500 men took
part.
Jacks increase with extraordinary rapid

in two months. Five jack rabbits are
