AU Things Combine to Make This AUGUST
The Outlook From a West
Window at Bedford Is a
Mountain


OF the Alleghenies, forty miles away, but
seeming only ten miles distant 1t is known as
the Wills Range. To see it is to instantly awaken
a desire to climb it.
Underneath the north windows is the park
OF oaks, lindens, tulips and naples, all tall and
old, overlapping the roof of at least one of the
old buildings said to have been built hundred
years ago. s.... ...
A few hollyhocks and scarlet geraniums
and bachelors buttons fringe the paths
Honey bees and humming birds fit
drowsily from bush and flower and reposeful-
ness begets dreams that yet do not shut out the
sight of the far-off mountains and their
invitation for a climbing expedition.
So it must be always to some of us to live
up to opportunity and climb every mountain
top, however difficult, that will enable us to see
farther and do our work better.
