Advice to Campers
rom Harper's Weekly.

From Harpers Weekly.
 If you have no woods close at hand in which to pitch your tent, fold it up care fully and, going up to the top story of your house. pitch it out of the window. While gas stoves are very useful and easily carried about with your other in- pedimenta, you are advised not to take them to the Adirondacks with you, owing to the poor quality of the gas supplied by the guides, most of which is conversa- tional and not at all suitable for fuel. If your tent-mate Is addicted to snoring, an army blanket or a macintosh thrown over his head will serve materially to deaden the sound. If these are not suc- cessful in providing relief. try a mat tress.
 If in the middle of the night a big black bear enters your tent and shows a disposition to share 1t with you, be courteous and kind, and do not try to eject him. Rather let him have the whole tent that his rude nature may thus re- ceive a lesson in unostentatious courtesy. If your tent leaks and you have no repair kit handy, a very good temporary expedient is a porous plaster placed over the punctured spot, If you have no porous plaster with you, get your guide

 When shutting up for the night be care ful to close your own mouth as well as the tent flaps Chats and June bugs taken internally are even more disagree able than when used for external applica- tion only.
 If by some mischance your pillow has been left at home. a nice well-bred New foundland dog will make fairly accepta- ble substitute, though your best expedient is to stuff your flannel shirt into your hunting trousers and sleep on that.

The stability OF the west-its as.

The government has trained It's sys-

point of science that makes the west
land for the settler, weeds out the
transient speculator and reserves the
soil for him who will live on It and

to solve social problems of urban and
suburban life than all the theoretical
reformers and publicists could accom-
plish in a lifetime. 1t does not offer
a gilded prize for price, nor some
thing for nothing, but it gives good
land to the man who will paw the
nominal cost and comply with the con-
ungencies necessary to complete his
ownership Of an estate. This system
has not been attained without years of |
