and just when you think you are sure
ly coming out somewhere near the
spot you were foolish enough to aim
for, you are brought up abruptly by
canal with no bridge, and have to ad-
venture some long detour. Your
recompense is that the jumping oil
place at which you emerged was likely
to have given you one more of the
inexhaustible variety of picturesque
views which will never cease to draw
artists to Venice as long as the tides
wash the canals and the stones of the
palaces stand.
There are a good many museums
and churches in Venice prescribed for
visiting by the guide books, but though
l enjoy paintings and architecture,

Venice quite blind me to the lesser

leries to me, when l can lie back on
cushions and glide in gondola
through miracles of shifting ard re-
fiected lights, of color and surface and
form, past old walls red with wood
bine, under bridges reflected ghostly
white in the green water, past scows
like water beetles, their backs heaped
with furniture or cabbages, past old
warehouses reeking of curious orr
entail species, always to the tapping

conceded with my previous fancy is in
the highlands of Scotland and the only
city thus far which has surpassed my
fondest expectations is Venice.
In these days you usually enter a
town by that most depressing of back
doors, railroad yard, hemmed about
with dingy traffic and squalid build
ings. Venice is approached not
through the CRIME of manufacturing
suburbs, but by viaduct, across more
than two miles of breezy sea, on
whose horizon seems to lie some fair
mirage In the form of city-a jewel

l used to think that the Place du
Marche in Brussels, with it's beautiful

style. About the hour the pigeons are

If every man In the south having

interests and an Investment for his
section bringing Immediate benefit

the manufacturer. dependent more or

Much more than that II is an ex-
preston of the much needed revival
of the American spirit Of self re-
lance. II means "Dont' stampede;
stand firm; depend upon yourself" "
If we can't import potash salts. do
without them, as we did before, and

If foreign dyes are not available
