OUTINGS
FOR WEARY WORKERS

wv ASHINGTON in the spring and
w early summer is about as beauti-
full place as the ordinary mortal
may hope to see. Tourists have evidently
found out this fact. for this is the time
of the year when they come in crowds to
visit the Capital city.
Nearly every Washingtonian has taken
visitors to the Capitol and White House,
the Congressional Library and the Treas
ury. and to Mount Vernon and Soldiers
Home. Many residents heartily enjoy the
beauty Of the tree-lined streets and the
welcome resting places in the numerous
small parks, but there are some who do
not realize how delightful trips may be
taken just a little way off from the beaten
track. some of them within easy reach of
the trolley lines.
One trip which is enjoyable for its quiet
peaceful beauty is along what is known
as the River road. The beginning of it is
not particularly alluring. One can start
at the Aqueduct bridge and pass the Hill
from which Mrs. E. D. E. n. South
worths cottage looks down, and instead
of climbing the hill to the Conduit road
keep to the left along the lower road
For thorough enjoyment this trip shoul5
be made when the tender green of
spring is beginning to color the trees
If one is fond of walking and of fishing
he may take his rod and bait along and
follow the road to the Chain bridge, and
there he will be sure to find few who
have discovered the ADVANTAGES of this
place before him and will let him ioin
their company on the rocks while thew
wait for the fish to nibble.

in fact, was so easy to come by that 1t
was a rigid rule among cowboys never
to, ask the name or business of any
stranger who dismounted in camp for
hospitality, neither to inquire into

Revolutions Going Out Of Fashion.
Seven years Of such a life. even with
intervals for outside expeditions. nat
urally crowds ones memory with in

which modesty forbids retelling Except
as fiction a SO much per thousand). and
many others only come to memory at
odd times when some incident. some
scent or flower or chance word. or even
a. chance tone, gives a connecting link.
Yet. because 1T was ones earliest series
OF adventures. one remembers more of
it than Of what happened in after years
in other lands and seas. Revolutions

much of the world into treaties of peace

ambassador condoled with me to the

And peace it seems to be. But peace
rankles in ones mind at last till one
feels at times one must take ship some
where for somewhere and see If some
thing won't happen to somebody just
to break the deadly grind Of civiliza-
