He has hunted in Alaska. has Travelled
much and knows whereof he speaks on
the subject of vacations.
My Ideal vacation" said he, occurred
more than once. 1t was in little launch
on the shores of Atlantic City-several
miles out with the deep-sea fish biting
good and the water and air combining to
give perfect vacation atmosphere.
There are many who sing the praises
Of the freshwater fish when it comes to

greatest of all angling Is deep-sea fishing.

travel is the panacea for tagged nerves
prescribed by Senator James Hamilton
Lewis of Illinois. He declared that the
man who spends his hours of leisure
among new PEOPLE Will undoubtedly enjoy
himself hugely, and, in addition. will have
something as a keepsake for other years,
in the matter of education.
There Is no diversion that is more
practically beneficial said he. than
travel among the people one has read

Of my thought.

enjoy the trips which We make from

1 believe" said he, that every one on
the farm and In the small country town
should once in his life make a trip to the
biggest metropolis near him and acquaint
himself with its complexities.
It should be a part of his education.
