VACATION THOUGHTS

Copyright 1920, by Edgar A. GuesD
Away from the grind OF the city,
Away from the noise and the din
Away from It's grief and It's pity,
Away from its shame and l,s sin
out whore the blue sky Is bending
Its glorious arch over all,
Where nothing on me Is depending
or whether l rise or fall
Here for q few days with never
4 task ! must struggle to do,
Away from tho constant CndcaNor
And the praise and the blame OF IT, too
Just being myself for minute,
With freedom to think and to plan,
The Comradc Of lark and OF lnnot
And trees-and the least OF them man.
Here with tho great world about me-
with life In large parcels or small,
That can and will live without me-
And the same power has fashioned us all
This kindly old tree shall outlive me,
The lake shall remain when I'm gone,
Oh, God for my boastiug forgive me!
For what is my pride founded on?
And what is the noise OF the city.
And what il it's struggles for gold,
With It's shame and its grief and it's Pity
No more than a tale that is told.
For the things which shall live on forever
Are not OF such struggles as these
Not the fragments OF human endeavor,
But sky sun and rivers and trees,

CHAPTER NCIV.
Elsie's Welcome

Elsie answered the door herself,
and after one glance at my face she
put her arms around me and kissed
me warmly.
Now we won't talk until you are
comfortable" she said as she took
my ovor-night bag from me and pre-
ceded me to my room, Have you

NO. | just threw in a nightdress

time you are ready"
did as I was told. To be honest
IL was a relief to have someone tell
me what to do. By the time | had
donned Elsie's kimona she was back
with "A tray. \ stcaming cup OF tea,
thin toast, and some thin slices OF
cold chicken,
you don't have to tell me you

said as she set the tray on the table

only once did Elsie interrupt me,
then she asked.
rs this the first time Bob has
talked like that to you?"
Yes, II replied, although he has
several times said that he had some
thing serious to say to me; and once
or twice has started TO say something
and caught himself"

truth. That Bob had meant only
that.
We'll you have no reason to give

"Yes."

NEW PAVING CONTRACTS.

In the new paving contracts that are to be
let, property owners Of Tulsa are confidently
expecting the city officials to protect them at
all points That is their duty, clear and un.
mlstakable.
The paving matter has become grave II
not scandalous issue In this city. CONTRACTS
have been let under which the city and property
owners either had no protection, or because of
disnclination on the part OF city officials have
not been enforced.
1t is said excellent authority that paving
concerns have been granted contracts and per
mitted TO file bonds for performance that were
no security whatever. That paving concerns
have organized their own bonding companies
and written their own bonds WITH THE FULL.
KNOWLEDGE or THE CITY OFFICIALS The
natural consequence being that the city and
property owners stand without adequate relief
when, has become quite the custom the con
tracing concerns utterly fail to discharge their
contraotual obligations,
Paving contracts let three years ago are still
pending" In some instances property owners
have voluntarily agreed to an increase in price
OF more than 100 per cent under the promise
that the work would be done. These contracts
are still pending.
And yet every contract let should carry
whether IT does or not, heavy penalty for
failure to discharge its obligations within a spec
fled time. Has anybody heard Of paving
concern being forced to llquidate a single dol
iar Of damage for non n-performunce? Yet the
accumulated damage must run into fabulous
Egures on n fair and reasonable appraisemcnt
Paving concerns appear to be permitted TO
pick out the easiest and most profitable part OF
contract and to neglect permanently other
parts There are the ugliest kind OF reports
that in some sections property owners have
been induced to pay a bonus on the side and
that such bonus has secured for their favored
district instant attention. In other cases the
"inducement" appears to have failed
Tho late administration quit office letting
paving contracts right and left. why? The
work is not going forward in a manner to be
tolerated by any one.
There is no branch OF tho public service in
Tulsa that needs such a thorough oyerhauling

THE BOUNTY OF NATURE.

Nature has produced bountirully this season.

pie could and should be happy, Opportunity is

And with every man graphing with his oppor-

manity would slowly but surely disappear
