South of Biskra there Is always

the advance agents of civilization, as
personifed by the reckless French
Condemned Corps and the Foreign Le-
gion on the other. Year after year
military expeditions set out from the
oasis of Biskra to penetrate the will
derness, either by caravan route to
Timbuctoo or along the proposed
route of the Trans-Saharan Railway
to Lake Tchad; and their lines OF
march are traced IN red upon the

Cucumhers vs. "Cukes."

Gov. Fred E. Norton, chief executive of the Laurel Club, and of the Hartford Courant, who has been enjoying his va cation at his old home ill GuiIford, has written one of his characteristic letters to the Shore Line Times, on the joys of life in the old home town, from which we abstract the following:
 After living in a city one gets differ ent outlook upon country life which makes the latter look better than it does to those who have the country life in large chunks of, say, 80 years. Probably few people realize that in a city the only thing that is free is the air and that is considerably adulterated with coal gas and coal sOot. The housewife who sends to the market for fowl gets one gener- ally that was a mature hen before she, the woman, was born. Neither the house. wife nor the husband can stir off the front porch without leaking money. Guilford mourns at the abundance of the former rains and at the lack of the latter ones but most Gullforders have | gardens which produce something Does the city man have that solace? Not exactly; he or his wife buys vegetables of some Italian or Hebrew gentleman and those vegetables are evidently heir looms in the family and were brought over from Naples or Russia several years before. No Guilforder knows how a cucumber lasts that has reached its dotage after association with foreign folks for years and years. If anything 1t seems more forlorn and crushed in spirit than the cold storage poultry And yet few men in the country have as yet realized the possibilities of the garden because the man of the house never works in it after it is planted If he can find anything else to do, but instead he plants it and leaves the rest to Heaven and apparently Heaven had just as soon raise a weed as "cuke," as the peddlers call them.
