CHARM OF SKY-GAZING.

I love-and only too well, | fear
to sit in my garden summer house, for
getful Of the task before me, and gaze
out on a summer day over the beds
where the bees are busy in the blue
veronica and the goldfnches are sway
ing in the cosmos to the dOming hard
woods on the hill beyond, which throw
their leafy outlines against the lower
slope of vast mountains, mighty Him
alayas robed in eternal snow, but with
no terror in their billowy ravines-the
ethereal heights Of the cumuli. A great
snowy, pink-tipped cumuls cloud
above a dOming green hill, rising in
to the blue of the summer sky, the
hum Of bees, the scent of flowers, and
far off, perhaps, the sweet shrill of
children at play-who for such pic
ture would not neglect his work? Who
indeed, but would let even his imagin-
alton grow languid, and if Hamlet
were to say, ct is very like camel"
would reply, "By the mass and it's a
camel, indeed" and when he said, COR
like a whale?" would answer quite as
cheerfully, very like whale" After
ALL camel or whale or Mt. Everest
what does it matter? 1t is a great
white cloud on a summer day!
But it is when we leave the city alb
ruptly, where we have scarcely been
aware of moon or stars, sunsets or
sunrisings, and into camps, perhaps,
on the shore of some forest lake, or on
the shoulder Of a mountain, that we
become most strikingly aware of the
Importance of the weather and the

beauty and emminence Of the sky.
What camper, rising in the night to
poke a dying fire, or waking on the
ground with unaccustOmed aches, has
not looked up in sudden establishment
to the vault of stars, amazed at their
number, and aware, too, with a
strange, new sensitiveness that they
are shedding a perceptible radiance
around him which he had never de-
tected on his electrically illumined
pavements? What camper on the
mOuntainside, as he turned over on his
back and looked up, nothing in his
field of vision but the spire of stunted
spruce and the great garden of the
stars, has failed to sense with some
thing akin to awe the eastward swing
of the earth ball, a sense so sharp
sometimes that all the stars seem the
torches of great procession march
ing by the other way far alOft in the
midnight? 1t is at such moments that
the little cares and perplexities and
ambitions of our human life seem
most to fall away, to shrink into in
significance, and we feel new springs
Of power pouring in from the silent
places; or, at the very least, we Won
der if, after all, the life which is lived
close to the earth and the sky does
not hold something we have lost in our
hurry, our herding, our unrest.-Walt-

Lancaster Man Writes From n. Next
cO-HaVing Fine Trip.
Santa Fe, n. NJ, IA, 1911

Santa Fe, ~ NJ, IA, 1916.
My Dear Mr.. Sherman:
Well, it is the 4th of July and we
just arrived here from Las Vegas, n.
NJ. They claim Santa Fe is the oldest
city in the United States. We were to
visit a mission that was built in 1856.
They also claim to have the first
dwelling house that was built in 1900.
Am writing this i'll the Palace Of
Governors, which was built in 1856,
and in the room in which Lew Wallace
wrote Ben Hur, while he was COVER
nor.
For the last three days we have seen
few white people.
Santa Fe is building a 100000
museum and School of American Ar
chaeoIogy which will be the first one
in America. We met the contractor,
who is a man from Beloit, Wis. Says
he pays the Indians 75c per day, and
the Mexicans $1.25 per day
We pass through many villages
each day and can find no one who
speaks English All the houses are
adobe, and one village will be all In
dams and the next Mexicans. 1t is
very hot and dry here; no rain since
last April. Our lips are dry and
cracked and the nasal passages very
dry also. The people here don't
raise any chickens and all eggs are
shipped in here and sell at soc a doz.
Gasoline cost 35c a gallon and cylin-
der oil S1.00 gallon. In Iowa, Mis-
souri, and Kansas we bought it all the
way from 19c to 81 a gallon and as
soon as we entered Colorado it was
soc, and the further We get the high
er the price.
The first ten days we were out it
did nothing but rain, and Of course,
we could not travel much, in fact we
were forced to stop for five days. We
are now 1000 miles from home. Had
our first tire down after we had trav-
eled 1000 miles, and the other day we
picked up nail. That, so far, has
been the limit of our tire trouble.
We followed the Hawkeye road
from Dubuque to Des Moines, then
the Interstate road to Kansas City,
Mo-, where we got onto the old Santa
Fe trail which we'll marked all the
way to the coast, and through Kan
sas for about 300 miles it is like a
boulevard 1t passes near many of
the foothills and mountains in Colora-
do and New Mexico, and the scenery
cannot be described. 1t is beautiful.
We came down mountain road this
morning two miles long and it had 19
hairpin sharp curves in it, and drop
ped 5000 feet. Big, long cars can't
make these curves without backing up.
We meet hundreds of tourists, and
it is safe to say that there are TWEEN
ty-five Fords to one other make we
meet, and most of these towns have
groves for camping. We have camped
three nights in the mountains-ea
dinner and supper at hotels or res
taurants, but get our own breakfast
at camp.
We are sure enjoying every minute
of it, but my thoughts are always
leaning towards dear old Lancaster,
and its good people, which 1 send my
very best regards. l remain,
Yours very respectfully,
DIR. W. J. SCHADE.
