IKE ash-buriad Goals, there
shoulders within the breast OF
of almost every man a spark of
the original fire that animated
his savage ancestors of the
caves and the wilds. Periodically
there occurs in his life moments of in
tense longing to escape from the tur-
moil and trouble of life to the fair,
free forest of his dreams. Like a tired
child who loves at eventide to climb
within the protecting shelter of its
mothers lap where it may be soothed
and crooned into dreamy forgetful-
ness, the grown-up is filled with a long
ing at times to seek the lap of Mother
Nature where he may cuddle down
and be Gained by the music of wind
swept pines or lulled into blissful OBJ
livion by the somniferous tinkling of
the rills. Secure IN his chosen retreat
he rests at ease.
In the autumn one may be sure the
forest stretching from coast to coast
along the northern border of the
United States and across the line in
our sister nation, the Dominion of
Canada, is pretty thoroughly invaded
by parties of hunters, each in pursuit
of the game native to the locality 1t
has selected for hunting ground.
The ponderous moose, the noble carl
bcu, the agile deer. the fierce grizzly
and his smaller brother. the black
bear. are among the larger varieties
of game that are to be found in this
forest belt, any one OF which calls
forth the best skill OF the hunter.
Within this vast expanse of forest 1t
matters not where one erects his
camp. for pleasure abounds. A typical
region is that charming spot where
nature in her birth-agony thrust
toward the sky those magnificent
peaks of the Adirondacks. There. in
the great Empire state and forever
preserved as a public park. lies a
beautiful expanse OF forest-covered
mountain and valley. gemmed with
lakes and filigreed with streams. 1t is
sufficiently attractive in itself. but be-
cause of it's ease of access and near

The reason why Goethe cannot be
translated is that no equal of Goethe
stands on the English side of the
line to link the equivalent words with
equivalent music. The process of
rendering Goethe or Beranger into

over familiar with our phrases. uses
to describe translation; The says such
