Would Outlaw Canoes.

Burning of the canoes at Camp TEX
akwitha Is good example. The use
OF these extremely frail, unstable and
therefore dangerous chaft should be
everywhere restricted to expert swim
mers. Any others who go out in them
risk their lives, since the least in
cautious movement is likely to cause
an upset even when the water is quiet.
While canoes may still be used by
those who are fitted and ready at any
moment to swim ashore, it would be
better if they we're put out of use al
together. There Is always the dan
ger, as long as they are kept at hand,
that boys who cannot swim may seize
an opportunity to venture out in them.
They serve no purpose that is worth
while. An expert may derive some
pleasure from padding canoe about,
but to persons who want to enjoy a
ride upon the water they offer neither
security nor comfort Albany Journal

seemed to seize her heart, to stifie
her as the poverty of her love story
i struck her She sat turning her cof-

eyes downcast, She had verv little
to tell. She might never have any
more to tell. Yet this was her love
story, But the presence OF Sabron
was so real, and she saw his eyes
clearly looking upon her as she had
seen them often; heard the sound OF

and the words OF his letter came back
to her. She remembered her letter
