Noticing that bolt that held to

500 men were imperied, young

Lacy sank to the floor from exhaus-

attempted to rescue him. but by this
time the room had filled with gas I'M

Selling the young man Moncilochi

went to his assistance and succeeded

Hats and Faces.

A Boston man went down to Hart
ford and said to the Motherhood club
Of that city, IF you have a 29-cent
face don't wear a $50 hat"
OF course, the Boston man didn't
make it clear to the ladies with Hart
ford faces just what the hat-and-face
ratio should be. Even a Decent face
might hesitate over wearing a 29-eent
hat. On the other hand a woman with
a $50 face could scarcely be expected
to don a $50 hat.
No, the Boston man is wading into
deep water. He quite overlooks the
eternal law Of compensation.
Let the 29-cent face wear a $50 hat.
IL may distract attention
As for the woman with the $50 face,
size doesn't need any hat.-Cleveland

Seeing the Country.

You can get to close quarters with a
country if you travel by road, in a way
that is quite impossible in that archaic
monstrosity, the train. The railway
takes you from one point to another,
leaving a very imperfect impression
on the mind Of all that lies in be-
tween.
With a motor car your journey is
remembered as connected whole
the days on the road, how delightful;
the days spent in the train, how irk-
some and Improbable.
If you would understand anything of
a country you must see it's highways
and it's villages-the railway is a cos
mopolitan intruder, a barrier be-
tween the natives and the stranger
within their gates.
If you cannot 60 in a motor car,
drive; If you cannot drive, bicycle; If
you cannot bicycle, walk!
