millinery is adapted 10 the needs of
young matrunS. These means cannot

like to welcome a young Rocky Noun
tain sheep every spring, or perhaps
two Rocky Mountain sheep, and then
watch them grow into fine strong
sheep.
But weather, goodness, gracious,
we don't have to bother about Il!
i've heard from travellers that PEG
pie in towns and cities and villages,
along through country places-oh, in
many, many places, carry umbrellas
when ii rains. And often, when it
doesn't rain they carry umbrellas for
fear that it might rain.
They are afraid they might spoil
their hats But we haven't hats to
think Of! Imagine Rocky Mountain
Sheep wearing hat or carrying an
umbrella.
"Our horns are enough for US, And
we don't need umbrellas to protect
our horns. We never complain of the
weather, either So many do. So
many wish it weren't so hot or so cold,
or so rainy, or so sunShiny. Some
say that they hate showers and that
they wish they always knew what the
weather was going TO do. But they
don't. For Old Man Weather is a
smart old creature who has things his
own way.
"He won't let anyone boss him. II
he wants it to rain he has it rain, and
il ne wants the sun to shine, he has
the sunshine. And why not let him
do it his own way without always
complaining?
Gracious. he's been doing as he
likes for so long 1t seems rather a
waste Of time trying to wish he would
do differently. Then, too, he has been
on his job for so long a time, I've a

cific ocean. He began to search for
Linkville.
Time was when Linkville was one
Of the principal towns Of Oregon. Dan
remembered the place because some
OF the time-yellOwed letters his grand
father had sent him had been mailed
at town that bore this name. But
he couldn't end Linkville on the map.
Later he was to know the reason
that the town, halfway between the
sage plains and the mountains. had
prospered and changed its name. He
remembered that 1t was located on
one of those great fresh-water lakes
OF southern Oregon: so. giving up that
search, he began to look for lakes He
found them In plenty--vast, unmeas-
ured lakes that seemed to be distrib-
uted without reason or sense over the
whole southern end Of the state. Near
the klamath lakes. seemingly the
most imposing of all the fresh-water
lakes that the map revealed, he found
city named klamath Falls. He put
the name down In bis notebook.
The map showed particularly
high, far-spreading range of noun
tains due west Of the city. OF course
they were the Cascades; the map said
so very plainly. Tlien Dan knew he
was getting home. His grandfather
mad lived and trapped and died in
these same wooded hills. Finally he
located and recorded the name Of the
largest city on the main railroad line
that was adjacent to the Cascades.
The preparation for his departure
took many days. He read many books
on flora and fauna. He bought sport
ing equipment. Knowing the usual
ratio between the respective pleasures
OF anticipation and realization, he did
not hurry himself at ALL And one
midnight he boarded a west-bound
train.
He sat for long time In the vesti-
bule Of the sleeping car, thinking in
of this final adventure of

his life. He was rather tremulous and
exultant as he sank down into his
berth.
He saw to 1t that at least q meas
ure Of preparation was made for his
coming. That night a long wire went
out to the Chamber of Commerce of
one Of the larger southern Oregon
cities. In 1t, he told the date Of his
arrival and asked certain directions.
He wanted to know the name of some
mountain rancher where possibly he
might find board and room for the re-
mainder of the summer and the fall.
The further back from the paths of
men, he wrote, the greater would be
his pleasure. And he signed the wire
with his fun name: Dan Falling, with
a Henry In the middle, and a "IITs at
the end.
He usually didn't sign his name In
quite this manner. The people of
Gitcheapolis did not have particular
ly vivid memories Of Dams grandpa
Their. But 1t might be that a legend
of the gray, straight frontiersman who
was his ancestor had still survived In
these remote Oregon wilds. The use
of the full name would do no harm.
Instead Of hurting. 1t was a positive
Inspiration. The Chamber of Com
merce Of the busy little Oregon city
was not usually exceptionally inter.
ested in stray hunters that wanted a
boarding place for the summer. Its
business was finding country homes
for orchardists in the pleasant river
valleys. But 1t happened that the re-
