litigants were unwilling TO appear and

meet this difficulty, the committee
which tried him recommended 10 the

AS December closes down upon US
with the harsh unloveliness OF win

OF comfort (if your mind works that

is blown along on a free Keen air that
carries even in summer the GOODNESS
that is In the Puritan's very blood.
Further south the sun Is hotter. and
vast lazy content Is over Dixie's
fields, but the New England breeze
is the spirit voice Of duty. A big
gusty wind bends Chicago's smoke

Omaha and Kansas City! At Denver
the Rockies rise clear and bright and
far as the walls Of some eternal city.
and the level morning light comes In
between the trees like fairy lances
made OF diamonds. The beauty OF the
