When Life Is Sweet.

1t is not the walking merely, 1t Is
keeping yourself In tune for a walk, in
the spiritual and bodily condition in
which YOU can find entertainment and
exhilaration in so simple and natural
pastime. You are eligible to any good
fortune when you are in the condition
to enjoy a walk. When the air and the
water taste sweet to you, how much
else will taste sweet! When the exer-
else of your limbs affords you pleas
ure, and the play of your sense upon
the various objects and shows of-na-
ture quickens and stimulates your spir-
il. your relation to the world and to
Yourself is what it should be-simple
and direct and wholesome. The mood
in which you set out on a spring or
autumn ramble or a sturdy winter
walk, and your greedy feet have to
be restrained from devouring the dis
tances too fast, is the mood in which
your best thoughts and impulses come
to YOU. or in which you might embark
upon any noble and heroic enterprise.
life is sweet in such moods, the uni
verse is complete, and there Is no fail
ure or imperfection anywhere.-John
Burroughs.

Dying VILLAGES.

It is the American village that
most betrays the impulse of our
civilizatiOn-a civilization that perpet-
ually overreaches itself only to be
obliged to surrender again and again
to nature everything it has gained.
How many thousands of villages, frost
bitten, palsied, full of the morbid,
bloOdless. death-in-life-villages that
have lost, If they ever possessed, the
secret of self-perpetuation, lie scat
tered across the continent! Even in
California l used to find them on long
cross-country walks, villages often
enough not half century old, but in
a state of essential decay. Commune
ties that have come into being on the
flood tide Of an enterprise too rapidly
worked out, they all signify some lost
cause of material kind that has left
high and dry-like the neutral areas
in an old painting where the colors, in
completely mixed and of perishable
quality, have evaporated with time

Bicycle BaIancer.

An apparatus has been invented by
Eugene Tourtier of Paris, France,
which gives bicycles, motorcycles
and every other similar vehicle YER
teal equilibrium regardless of whether
or not the road is level. 1t is merely
necessary to support the machine in an
upright position by operating a lever
attached to the handlebar, according to
the Popular Science Monthly.
The lever can be operated while the
bicycle is moving, making it possible
for a rider to remain in his seat as
the wheel comes to stop and to start
again without dismounting. The steel
rod supports are strong enough to sus-
tain combined weight of 800 pounds.
Bicycles fitted with the balancer have
been used by the Swiss police for some
time.

PIPE DREAMS OF CITY MAN
Raising spuds At One Dollar a.BusheI
Certainly Looks Good to Us,
BY Hecki

When ] am old and bent and worn,
with hair all gray and pants all torn.
and town has grown too swift for me,
and in my backs a miseree, I'll take
my bundle meath my arm and 60 and
settle on farm, and in the spring
and in the mud each square foot i
Will plant spud, then with nice
seIf-starting hoe I'll coax the lowly
spud to grow, as spuds were never
coaxed before, and they shall Irvine
about my door, and shall drink up
the morning dew, and shade the wind
ing avenue that sort Of turns and
twists and crawls to get to my an
cestral halls.
And paris green by pecks I'll lug
to put on each pertater bug. I'll keep
the weeds out of the rows, and when
hot wind comes and blows I'll
sprinkle each one from can and sit
beside it with a fan until the danger
has gone by; will not let it wilt and
die.
And when dead leaves are earth
ward tossed and when a norther
threatens frost I'll get cute little
union suits to put upon the spuddish
beauts. I.shap know each last spud
by name and pet each one and make
1t tame; so that when autumn comes
apace III go and open DIP my face
beside the bars and call each spud by
name, and it shall leave the mud, and
leave the vine, and leave the tree,
when my call comes, and follow me.
And shall hike away to town and
where the roads 60 winding down the
spuds shall Nfollow me, and go where
hungry men rush to and fro in search
of spuds, and they shall pay~a PUNK
Il peck for spuds that day, andI shall

POOLING WITH DYNAMITE

A grocer's boy in Brooklyn had
wireless telegraph apparatus and
AMUSED himself one night by sending
out the urgent call for help, S. o. s.
A revenue cutter picked 1t up at
sea, and shot it into Washington,
which relayed it instantly to all the
other revenue cutters and many 9TH
er ships. For many days thereafter
the cutters and others went patrolling
up and down the coast from Maine to
Florida, looking for the vessel in dis
tress. u M
Yes. And every time anybody sug-
gests that device of such unlimited
chances for miscrief and disaster
should not be allowed in any hands
but the governments a chorus of
men in congress sends up the cry
that this would never do because it
would be concession to the deadly
doctrine of government ownership"
The curse of congress is the cuckoo
bird, perched on a seat and mechanic
ally repeating things he knows moth
ing about.
To allow anybody to- store unlim-
tied explosives anywhere he pleased
would be wisdom compared with our
present practice of leaving wireless
telegraphy in private hands. But
nothing short of catastrophe will
pound that into the timber heads of
the cuckoo Wichita Beacon.

Vigilance Committee.

The vigilance committee Of colonial
times, an unauthorized, loosely con-
nected body of citizens representing
public opinion, was formed in the ID
American colonies Immediately pre-
ceding the revolution. Its object pri-
marily was to enforce the agreement
not to use British products, but later
the scope was enlarged, investigation
being made as to suspected persons
loyalty to the American cause and
punishment being meted out TO Tories.
AT first the activities were secret.
The participants in the Boston tea
party" were vigilance committeeman.
Where this sub rosa movement orig
mated is hard to determine; nearly ev-

Improved Portable Lamp.

A new form of portable lamp, the
light from which is adjustable, is be-
ing brought out in Germany, according
to the London Electrician. "A small
spiral resistance in series with the
lamp and switch is mounted above the
battery. The resistance can be read
lily varied by the motion of, small
knob at the side of the case, the bright
ness of the lamp being thus altered
within the limits of maximum intensity
and dull, red glow. This enables cur-
rent to be economical when only a
small amount of light is needed, pro
longing the life of the lamp and bat
terry. The resistance is also useful in
preventing the tendency to overrun the
lamp unduly when a new battery is
substituted for the old one.
