Beauties Of Long Island.

A teacher tells me that at a

class in geography was asked,
"What are some of the natural pc

pupils tried to think, and after
awhile boy raised his hand. 81

Vocation and Aveea.ion.

"Avocation" is one of those un-
fortunate words that are constantly
being used in wrong sense. Strict
ly speaking, it refers to something
that calls man away from the or
dinary occupation of his daily life.
If you earn your living by drafting
conveyances and interpreting legal
subtleties and also are often seen in
leisure hours with camera in your
hand and have a dark room at
home, then the law is your vocation
and photography your avocation.-

THEIR DAY AT HOME.
Quaint Advice the Newcomers Got
From tho Old lnhabitant.

From tho Old lnhabitant.
When the first city family bought
a place in Lanesboro and went up
there to spend four months the
denizens of the village looked at
them askance, but before the season
was over the new residents we're on
friendly terms with every one. Mrs.
Deacon Holland explained the mat
ter to a visiting cousin that au-
tumn:
'1 gave them little hint, that's
ALL" she said cheerfully. ''The
neighbors had all been to see them
and show their good will, and they'd
returned the call-the Copes had
in their runabout, as they call it.
"They were running about them
selves, Mrs. Cope and her daughter,
the whole time, it seemed to us
folks that have our own housework
to do. They'd drop in mornings
when we were busy as could be and
early afternoons before we got the
work done up, aud then they'd go
riding off, securing over the coun-
try.
"Well, one day they came in on
me right in the midst of strawberry
jam, and Mrs. Cope said, We're
thinking of having an afternoon at
home every week, Mrs. Holland
Fridays. We thought the good peo-
pie here would be pleased with the
idea.'
'Now, we read the papers here in
Lanesboro, and we keep up with the
times some, but L saw my chance
then, and took it. l looked at her
innocent as a lamb, and / said:
"sAs long as you're speaking
frank to me, I'll be the same with
you. They will be real pleased. OF
course we all like visitors, but still
you do have a kind of a comfort
able feeling to know there's day
when nobody will drop in on you
and find you unprepared. There's a
good many things you are glad to
do at such time. / take it real
kind of you to let US know. And for
your side of it, / said, Il should
think you'd want one afternoon to
yourselves to do up what little
mending you have, and so on.
"Folks can't keep on the go all
the week without getting worn out,
I told her, and then I spoke little
firmer.
"sThis isn't fashionable vii
lage,' said to her, and so there
won't be anybody leave card at
your house that day, just when you
want to be quiet / said. T'll pass
the word around, dand you'll have
Fridays clear to yourself. We can
do our neighborhood calling other
days.
''She opened her mouth, and then
she shut it. Then she put her head
on one side and looked at me, and
then she held out her hand laugh
ing little.
Thank you,' she said. I'm glad
you approve and off she went.
eve all like them first rate.
They've learned our ways, and they
fit right into 'em now. I have, been
known to take my mending basket
and go over there on Fridays-but
twas by special invitation. p

FOR

The Modern Woodmen contemplate
enlarging their present hall so as to
more than double it's seating capacity.
This it is estimated may be done at
a cost of about $500. Plans have al
ready been secured for this improve
ment, and at meeting of the lodge
on Tuesday evening it was decided 10
go ahead, provided the commercial
club will give the proper encourage
ment AS a larger hall in which pub
lie gatherings may be held, is one OF
the urgent needs of this city, it is
to be hoped the project may be car
ried through. The present hall, en-
larged according to plans procured
would be sufficient for the needs of
the city for many years to come.
