FOUND SOURCE OF REAL FUN
Eunice's Demonstration of Extrav-
agance Surprised and Pleased at
the Same Time.

"a suit like the blue you can wear
said. 'Of course the brown is a good
suit, too, but it hasn't equally fine
lines. The difference in price is only
five dollars
Eunice Morgan looked at the brown
suit as it was reflected in the mirror;
her delicate brows were drawn togeth-
er in a frown. She had not been pay
ing much heed to the saleswoman, but
the last words caught her attention.
1t suddenly seemed to her that all her
life she had been buying the cheaper
thing and being disconnected with it
when a few more cents or few more
dollars would have given her the Joy
of satisfied desires. In her reVnls1on
against the constant fret, she declared
to herself that for once she would have
what she liked, no matter what else
she had to do without.
"Wen?" Sally Pennock inquired.
Eunice had taken Sally along for NOR
al support-which, being interpreted,
meant to tell her that the cheaper
thing was the most becoming. Eunice
drew long breath.
"Oh, suppose I'm going to be wise"
she said, and l hate being wise"
Brown is always becoming to you"
Sally declared Loyalty. Il think you'll
like it, Eunice-truly, do"
But when it came home Eunice did
not like it. She liked it even less than
she had at the store. She was stand
ing before the glass With tears of vex-
knock at the door, and she turned to
see Jennie Scott with her bundle of
laundry. Jennie's eyes widened admir-
ingly.
20 Miss Eunice," she cried, isn't
it lovely! You look beautiful in it.
Eunice smiled. No one could have
resisted Jennie's eyes.
Il wish liked it half as well as you
do" she replied.
Jennie's adoring face grew wistful.
1T must be so beautiful to match" she
said. Some day" she hesitated and
then went boldly on-"some day, Miss
Eunice, I'm going to have a whole suit.
l have almost five dollars saved. But
when it seems a long time to wait,
l just remember that everyone's wait
ing for something, and then, you know,
I grow ashamed"
Eunice looked from her own new
suit to the shabby, brave little figure.
Jennie" she exclaimed, Il have an
ideal VIII you come around once a
week and mend for me an hour
gloves and skirt bindings and things?
I'll gladly pay twenty-five cents a
week, and that will be eight dollars
to add to your five by next spring"
20 Miss Eunice!" Jennie cried.
AS the girls happy feet ran down
the stairs, Eunice took off the suit.
For once" she said to herself, I've
been extrayagant, and it's the best fun
l ever ew."-Youth's Companion.

Harrisburg Companies Prominently Located in Line OF Tents
Running in Unbroken Stretch Three and OneHaf Miles

of construction. The one that the
men are away UP on top of just finish
ing the tar-papering (to the left of

Is that Of Co. 1. The arrow points to
it.
In the rear of the camp the prairie
can be seen covered with sagebrush
and chaparral.
the Mt. Franklin Country Club, which
is to Ell Paso what the Colonial Club
is to Harrisburg.
This Is the largest body of troops
ever encamped in one continuous line
in which there Is not a break in COM
pany streets; three and one-half miles
OF canvas without q break, sheltering
a complete division of the United
States National Guard-that Of Penn

fantry, cavalry and artillery and all
the auxiliary troops necessary to make
up unit of that size in the army.
In the distance, approximately six
miles away, Is Mt. Franklin. of vol
canio origin. To all appearances it is
a bleak, barren pile of rocks, but In
reality 1t is covered with cactus, sage
brush and chaparral to the height of
about two miles. From there to the
summit 1t has nothing but rocks and
lava, with great fissures and seams,
which make climbing exceedingly
dangerous.
