Many people scatter their trash
broadcast through the land because
they have not imagination enough to
see how such action can rebound 10
their own hurt. There are many who
are neither homeless nor landless
themselves who can still act and live,
so far as the rights OF others are con-
cerned. as though they were race OF
nomads wandering across tiackless

Told Of John Burroughs.

John Burroughs. the naturalist, was
not interested in natures larger as
poets. Geysers and volcanoes boreo
him. His one exception was the Grand
Canyon Of the Colorado, which ne
called "the Divine Abyss" Despite
his intentness on study when boy.
Burroughs was fond OF girls and kept
a systematic record ot his engage
ments with them, writers ON his lie
