Here's a Book

Greatest of all charms to be desired
by an author Is that of of simplicity,
for not only does 1t contribute nightly
to the ease of the reader. but to beauty
of expression as well. Very plain and
unpretentious is the little book by J. A.
Graves, called "Out Of Doors. Califor-
mia and Oregon" published by the
Grafton Company, of Los Angeles, yet
the most wonderful bits of description
and scraps of interest from plant and
animal life have been deftly woven into
the chapters. Originality of express
sion gained through absolute frank
ness has added a peculiar charm to Mr.
Graves book. some of which might be
a relation OF the experiences and sensa-
tions of anv wholesome out-of-doors boy
of the early fifties.
The first chapter is a detailed account
of a motor trip in San Diego's back
country, but the descriptions and re-
marks other than explicit directions for
the would-be traveller. are reminiscent
rather OF Stevenson than of the road
chart or guide book.
''Boyhood Days In California" "a
Great Days Sport on Warmers Ranch"
and Last Quail Shoot in iyll." are tales
TO make the heart of the hunter burn
with envy Seven interesting chapters
or rather "reminiscences. form the book,
which is profusely illustrated by allur.

True Loyalty.

JENKINS, a newly welded subur-

other morning. and. telling her he
would be home at o'clock that
evening. got into his auto and started
for town.
At 6 o'clock no hubby had appeared
and the little began to get nervous.
When the hour of midnight arrived she
could bear the suspense no longer, so
she aroused her father and sent him
off to the telegraph office with six tele-
grams to as many brother Elks living
in town, asking each II her husband
was stopping with him overnight.
Morning came. and the frantic wife
had received no intelligence of the miss
ing man. AS dawn appeared, farm
wagon containing farmer and the
derelict husband drove up to the house
while behind the wagon trailed the
broken down auto. Almost simultanc-
ously came a messenger boy with an
answer to one of the kilograms, fol-
lowed at intervals by five others. All
Of them read:

"Blest be the tie that binds" may be
termed the hymn for parting or fare
well.
The words were written by the Rev.
John Fawcett, D. D., an English Bap-
tist minister, In 1773. He was born In
1873 and died in 1917, spending nearly
sixty years in the ministry. 1t was q
special occasion which called forth this
particular effusion. we are told. DR..
Fawcett was called from a small charge
In Yorkshire to a larger field in Lon
don.
His farewell sermon had been
preached, six or seven wagons stood
loaded with his furniture and books,
and all was ready for departure, but
his loving people were not ready. They
gathered about him, and men, women
and children clung around him and his
family in perfect agony OF soul. Finally
overwhelmed with the sorrow of those
they were leaving DR.. Fawcett and his
wife sat down on one of the packing
cases and wept bitterly. Looking UP
Mrs. Fawcett said:
"'Oh, John, John, cannot bear this,
know not how to co.,
Nor I, either said the good man:
nor shall we go. Unload the wagons
and put everything in the place where
II was before
This determination was hailed with
tears Of Joy by those around, and a
letter was at once sent to London ex-
planning the case. DIR. Fawcett then
resolutely returned to work on a salary
of something less than two hundred dol
have been written to commemorate the
event"
The words were set to music to the
tune of "Boylston" by DIR. Lowell
Mason. but are also frequently sung to
