He lifted the great log and laid it
across the Goals.
Suppose we lunch?" she proposed
looking straight at the simmering
coffee-pot.
"Would you really care TOT" Then
he raised his voice: "Tiger! Tiger!

Tiger, half mile away, squatted sulk--
iy on the lagoon's edge, fishing, and
muttering to himself that there were
too many white people in the forest
for him.
"He won't come" said Haltren.
"You know the Seminoles hate the
whites, and consider themselves still
unconquered. There is scarcely an
instance on record of a Seminole
attaching himself to one of u.s."
But your tame Tiger appears to
follow you"
He's an exception"
"Pcrhaps you are an exception too"
He looked up with haggard smile,
then bent over the fire and poked the
ashes with pointed palmetto stem.
There were half dozen sweet-potatoes
there, and baked ducked and an ash
cake.
"Goodnessl" she said "if you knew
how hungry | am you wouldn't be so
deliberate. Where are the cups and
spoons? Which is Tigers? Well, you
may use his"
The log table was set and the duck
ready before Haltren could hunt up
the Jug of mineral water which Tiger
had buried somewhere to keep cool.
When he came back with it from the
shore he found her sitting at table
with an exaggerated air OF patience.
They both laughed little; he took
his seat opposite; she poured the coffee,
and he dismembered the duck.
"You ought to be ashamed of that
duck" she said, "The law is on now"

GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK

GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK
In response ITO general demand
that a national park be created at
the Grand Canyon in Arizona, Hon.
Carl Hayden has introduced in the
house a carefully prepared bill the
enactment of which will accomplish
this purpose. The bill provides that
certain lands now included within
the Grand Canyon national mon
ument shall be set aside and dedi-
Gated as a public park for the bene-
fit and enjoyment of the people
under the name of the Grand Canyon
National Park.
The area of the present monument
is 1880 square miles but the pro
posed park will contain only 996
square miles so that 246 sections of
land that are now withdrawn from
all forms of entr will be made
available for grazing and other pur-
poses. 1t is the intention of the bill
that nothing but the scenic portions
Of the canyon with sufficient areas
back from the rim to permit the con-
struction of roads shall be included
within the national park.

Miner Dies of Pneumonia.

Albert Miller, miner employed at

vanced that the local physician could
not save him, and he died last Sat-
urday. Miller was about AZ years
of age, and a member of the Min
ers' union. No trace of his relatives
can be secured at this writing. He
had a small deposit of money at the
Commercial Bank. The funeral was
held Wednesday afternoon from the
M. E. church, and interment took
place in the Parker cemetery.

Massage for f1ervousne. Q.

Light-that is, surface-massage is
good corrective for nervousness.
Deep, seeking thebone massage. which
is used for liver complaint and for
obesity, is too severe for the nervous
patient. Besides, so many of the
nerves lie SO near the skin that the
region of the skin is the real seat of
operation for cure. Light massage by
coaxing the blood to the surface and
inducing a new and stronger interfiow
among them feeds the nerves and
strengthens them.

Many enthusiasts for the city beauti-
full would do away with them entirely.
The newer slogan for city life is the

the city useful and beautiful 1t
must be useful first and then must
have all the beauty compatible with
usefulness. Board fences are ugly, but
under present conditions of city life
they are very useful. In fact many
people would have no privacy at all
if fences were removed. In ideal con-
ditions, where the backyards open
upon parks and Fairgrounds. the fence
is not needed. Well arranged hedges
and shrub paintings give the neces-
sary seclusion to each place. 1t is to
be hoped that many cities will be
planned in this way. In the meantime
we have to cling to our back yard
fences, but there is no reason why
they should be ugly. English and Bos-
ton ivy, Virginia creeper, clemati5.
cobea, scandars and the scarlet runner
bean will soon transform the most un-
slightly fence. The northern border of
the fence is often dreary, but may be
planted to our native woodwardia and
aspidium ferns. The common brake is
very lovely and gives out delightful
woodsy odor. A shrub or two of the
wild pink currant, plenty of the com
mon white iris, pink foxgloves and
hollyhocks will make this border de-
light through the whole season.
