Highly Important Part of Equipment
When Girl Contemplates
"Roughing It,"

Girls who have had little experience
In outdoor life often do some foolish
things when they begin to try this
form of enjoyment. One way in which
many of them interfere with their own
comfort is by going on a tramp with
the wrong kind of shoes.
A girl who has played tennis and
found the soft. rubber soled shoes
comfortable will think that they will
surely help her to enjoy tramp; but
they are the last thing to wear for a
long walk, as these girls have found
to their cost. They come home with
their feet aching and the calves of the
legs tired out from the lack of the
spring that Is given by heels. Walk.
ing with a fiat, heelless shoes on a
rough road is extremely trying. and
one can feel every stone through the
soft rubber soles.
Quite as bad as the tennis shoes aEs
low shoes with thin soles and high
heels. These tire the feet and may
sprain the ankles. The only shoes
that are really satisfactory for rough
ing it" are strong high shoes with
thick soles. The strongest anlsles need
support in rough walking, and It is
often wet in the woods. This girl who
has once tried the two ways OF tramp
ing will never again be pery'uaded to
wear low or thin shoes.

Equal 20 the Crisis.

The wives of Napoleon Ills mar

after the second empire When Mar
shall Bazaine was planning his escape
from the Isle Sainte Marguerite his
wife assisted him in the plan and
came in the boat to meet him.
When General de Cavignac died in
exile and disgrace on the Riviera his
wife was determined that he should at
least be buried in the family vault at
Pere La Chaise. In order to accom-
plish her object. with the aid of a
faithful servant she had the corpse
arrayed In huge travelling cloak and
lifted into a railway carriage. With
such companion beside her, this

made up of banker named Poole

with the national committee of the

was brilliant financier, a liberal Civ.

the party, the political boss so far
as the outs had anything to boss; and
Fitchett, an attorney as bright as he
was unprincipled, who aspired to po-
litical preferment himeself. The
trio met Gormly in his business office.
Poole was the natural spokesman.

LETTERS OFTEN lNDISCREET
Lord PaImerston's Fall an Instance
of the Way They May Wreck
aCareer.

Letter writing has long been consiG-
when the writer's of certain epistles
wish that they had been a little more
discreet before posting the same. A
great many lives have been ruined and
careers wrecked all because of one in
discreet letter. which 1t would have
been better not to write.
A notable case of this kind is the
letter which Lord Palmerston, in 1851,
when he was minister of foreign af-
fairs for Great Britain, wrote to the
prince-president of France. Louis Ma
poleon. 1t was when Louis executed
his famous coup d'etat. Regiments Of
infantry, probably at his direction,
swept the boulevards with rifle balls.
The streets of Paris ran with blood
and out of the crimson mist rose Louis
Napoleon, no longer prince-president,
but rather president for life, and soon
afterward emperor Of France.
All Europe was Mortified at this
bloody leap to power, and no one more
so than the queen of England. Lord
Palmerston, however, admired the new
emperor Without consulting his Off
cial chief and much less the queen,
Palmerston wrote letter to the Brit
ish ambassador in Paris expressing
his approval of the coup d'etat When
the queen heard of this unauthorized
action she was deeply indignant. She
sent for the prime minister. and he
soon afterward officially notified Lord
Palmerston of his dismissal in the fol-
lowing words:
mo other course is open to me than
to ask her majesty to appoint sue
cessor to you in the foreign Office"
All this on account of letter. Lord
Palmerston was one of the foremost
men in the kingdom. But this one act
of indiscretion was the end OF his
famous career

gravely question when it was that the
cross began to darken our Lords

there are occasional tokens that he
saw Calvary ahead OF him. and was
at times pressed down with a dread
full sense of the inevitable agony
which awaited him at the end But
all this is very far from affording any
reasonable ground for the conclusion
that he smiled sometimes. but never
laughed.
If God did not intend us to laugh,
on occasion. why did he endow us
with the capacity to laugh, with a
sense of the humorous, with the fac
