THE EVENING STORY.
Good Old Summer Time.
Copyright. 1915. by ". werner)

Mrs. Johnson was sitting on the
porch when the letter came. The day
was warm and the GOODNESS of the
porch was inviting. The dense growth
of the honeysuckle gave shade through
which the rays of the sun could not
penetrate. and its fragrance could be
likened to nothing except honeysuckle.
1t was a pleasant place.
Mr. johnson passed a letter as one
who brings good tidings. Prom Lo-
retta.'I he announced proudly.
He sat down on the top step of the
porch, hopping his brow as he waited
for the letter to be read. But Mrs.
Johnson did not seem in a hurry to
open it. She held it in her wrinkled
hand and the look on her face was
not one of pleasant expectati ton.
why don't you open the letter,
mother" he inquired at last.
LEST cause I'm too lazy, | guess, y
she answered, smiling at him.
IT'S too hot to be anything but lazy"
he said. But open it. mother. I can't
hardly wait to see what she's got to
say. Last time she writ little Jerry

replied, IAN he was all right again

served as a dessert and plenty of the
rich juice is desired. Slice into thin
strips cover each slice with finely sift-

Peaches are easily rubbed and
bruised, and should be given room to
preserve their delicate skins: SO take
them out of the bag or basket and al

Often half. of perfectly good peach
is thrown away because it is disfig
ured with an ugly brown bruise which
would not look well in the dish on the
table. This could be prevented and the
fruit saved by careful handling when
first brought into the house.
In fact. we must remember that al
most all of our summer foods come. to
US after long and arduous travels. and
we must treat them with every atten-
ton if we wish to save and preserve
for ourselves what remains of the
wealth of flavor with which they

out the baking things But her mouth

Shannon and others will lead the
groups over forest trails that have not
heretofore been travelled by the Wash

fine the trails will be in excellent con-

men at work on the miles and miles OF
trails, widening one in this place or
that, blasting out a bowlder here chop-

the environs of Washington than nave

back -to-the- saddle people say that they
are accomplishing results. Many of the
people who have been urged to come
back to the saddle are not riding in the
saddle groups. but they are riding. A
back -to-the saddle promoter who says
he knows the hoof print of every saddle
horse that travels in Rock Creek Park
told Star man that he had asked fifty
persons in the park last Sunday II they
had come back to the saddle, and forty
nine answered that they had been rid
ing for years and years" yet OF those
forty nine, forty y-eight had a new sad
die, or a new bride or new leggtngs,

The Washington riders have their

the plans include one of the most IN
teresting features yet devised by the
horseman and horsewomen OF Wash
ington, who are inviting their fellow
citizens to come back to the saddle and
ride with them. The invitation is ex-
tended for the especial benefit OF those
persons who have not ridden a horse
for years. but who know the pleasure
and health which horseback riding
gives. The invitation is also to those
who feel that they would like to learn
to ride.

have been with them at the previous
saddle assemblies shall turn out next

Motives Are Unself1sh.

Some of the back-to-the saddle men
appear a little peeved over the fact
that some persons persist in thinking g
that they have some sordid motive or
some motive other than desire to in
terest people in horses and the great
outdoors. One Of them said:
mot man interested in promoting
this movement has any interest in a
livery stable or saddle shop Every
man is an old rider, owns as good
horse as can be found and not one of
them would sell his horse. Some of
these men own horses which no mill
lionaire in Washington or out of Wash
ington could buy. and which very few
millionaires could ride if they had the
nerve to get on them. They are inter-
ested in human nature and horse ma
ture, and want the men, women and
children to come into the fields with
them. Several hundred people have
ridden with them since the saddle re-
union began, and you can ask all of
them If any back-to-the-saddle man
has tried to sell them any real estate,
horse shoes, horse blankets or horse
liniment."
The main saddle assembly will be held
at Pierce mill. In Rock Creek Park,
Sunday afternoon at o'clock, and
everybody who can get a horse that
will not run away and that has three
legs to stand on Is invited.

SOUND OF LIBERTY BELL PRE-.
 SERVED

What may prove to he the last ringing of the historic Liberty Bell took place in Independence hall at Philadelphia recently says the May Popular Mechanics Magazine in an il- lustrated article.
 Instead of sending the bell to the Panama Pacific exposition, it was de cided to transmit it's tones across the country to San Francisco over the recently completed trans-continental telephone line. partly fulfilling in a literal sense the prophetic words cast on the bell, Proclaim liberty through out all the land, unto all the inhabi tants thereof The bell was struck three times with mallets at intervals of five seconds. By, an arrangement of three very sensitive transmitters which were suspended beneath it on rubber bands, so as to exclude all for eign vibrations, the tones were caught and clearly heard over the telephone on the Pacific coast. At the same time photographic record was made of the notes so as to preserve them for posterity."
