WHY NOT TRY WALKING

II is time for another revival Of
the art of walking. This is the best
exercise in all the world, and by far
the cheapest. 1t alone brings us in
to a close relationship with all the
realms of nature. And today "na-
ture study" and mature converse
ton" are quite as much fad as
motoring or golfing.
There never was time when
books on nature were in such great
demand, or when people pretend to
feel keener enthusiasm for growing
things. Society discusses trees and
shrub and flocks enthusiastically to
agricultural fairs, and horticultural
exhibitions; after them it jumps in
to motor cars and rushes across
country at such rate that the whole
landscape becomes one vast impress
sionistic blur.
Something surely needs readjust-
ment when love of reading about
nature fails to be supplemented by
the love of studying nature. The
present attitude toward any lovely
bit of country is to speed through
il, and those that cannot afford to
drive or motor take trolley car.
How much is sacrificed today to
the one feverish desire for speedl
The beauty that the eye should de-
light in, the woods, flowers, fields,
teeming with life and interest, real
ly compel us to make use of our legs.
Nature gives up no secrets to those
who are trying to exceer speed linn
its. The present age would do well
to look on the motor car as the
means to an end, and the walk in
the country at the termination of a
ride on some fast conveyance, as an
end in itself.

CHICKENS
BY Walt Mason.

The time has come when chickens
scratch the stuffing from your gar
den patch and cause resentment
warm. The man who owns bunch
of hens should keep them shackled
in their pens or give them chloro-
form. For hens have caused more
strife and stress, and broken lives
and bitterness than anything on
earth; one hen can bring more grief
and care and wretchedness and
black despair than all known hens
are worth. Our village once was
sweet and calm, and every sorrow
had its balm, we never heard a wall;
there was an atmosphere of peace,
we had no use for the Police, and no
one was in jail. Then some one
started keeping chicks, and soon we
all were throwing bricks and read
ing riot acts; and when at court we
stood in line his honor sprung a
heavy fine when he had learned the
facts. Disgust is brooding on our
brows, we spend our time in raising
rows, with voices nSawith pens;
we shake our fists and deal in
assassinate each others
pets-and all because of hens. Be-
cause of hens a million jays are
cussing daily, so ways, and raising
grievous bowls. A law must soon
be written down prohibiting the |
folks in town from keeping feath-
cred fowls.
