The Quiet n Of Life in The Country

People go from the city 20 the
country In summer. mostly for rest and
quiet besides the cooler atmosphere
which shade trees and green woods
have, 20 the advantage Of skyscrapers
and brick sidewalks.
They go 70 the country for rest and
quiet but do they get il? The quiet
~ the country is delusion and
snare these days. and the country
seems 60 be vyinR with the city in
ita noise and racket
Truly there "a no place for the weary
The man after hard days work IN
the city, goes 10 his little bungalow,
or shack in the country, or to his up
to.datc country seat for nights rest
and quiet.
What does he get. From early
evening until the broad daylight there
is no end Of noise and nuisance 20 dis

The dogs d. bark % be ure. bat the
dogs wouldn't bark il their repose was
not disturbed by midnight walkers
and providers. and the dogs bark to
give warning that some one is near
who has no business to be, therefore,
the barking dogs cannot be included in
the noises Of the country.
To be- sure the chickens crow and
crow. as chickens will, and if a par
ticular bantam rooster gets under your
window at 3 a m. aud crows for an
hour or so. you don't mind little

worthy of notice.
The one paramount noise of country

no man or woman has a right to make

rest and slumbers of a summer colony
of some 100 people, more or less, who
are paying taxes for their little
homes where they expect to have rest

disturbance and annoyance of others.
