BEFORE THE DAY OF STEAM
Progress Was Naturally Extremely Slow and Travellers Suffered
 Much inconvenience.

The stage coach was little better than a huge covered box mounted on springs John B. McMaster writes in his History of the People of the United States" It had neither glass windows nor door, nor steps, nor closed sides. The roof was upheld by eight posts, which rose from the body of the vehi- cle and the body was commonly breast high. From the top were hung cur tains of leather, to be drawn up when the day was fine and let down and buttoned when rainy and cold. With in were four seats. Without was the baggage. Fourteen pounds of luggage were allowed to be carried free by each passenger. But if his portmanteau or his brass nail studded hair trunk weighed more he paid for it at the same rate per mile as he paid for him self. Under no circumstances, how ever, could he be permitted to take with him on the journey more than 15O pounds. When the baggage had all been weighed and strapped on the coach, when the horses had been at tached and the way bill made out, the II passengers were summoned and, clambering to their seats through the front of the stage, sat down with their faces toward the drivers seat. On routes where no competition existed progress was slow.

WHAT REAL VACATION MEANS
Play Is the Found dation, and That Gen. sists of Doing Anything That
 Is Not Work.

A real vacation, if you can get one, consists of play, asserts Preston SlOs- son in the New York Independent. Play is the opposite of work. Play is whatever is done for its own sweet sake. If you build a fire to warm yourself or to cook a dinner you are at work.
 If you build 8 bonfire because you like to see sparks redden against the sable background of the night you are at play. If you dance to improve your waistline or to learn a new step you are working.
 If you dance because you ''just can't make your feet behave" when the orchestra starts, you are playing.
 If you go fishing to catch fish you are as much at work as if you were building bridges or writing editorials to make money. If you go fishing in the true fisherman's spirit you won't care much whether they bite or not.
 The vacation mind is a law unto itself. If. it enjoys an occupation it keeps on while the enjoyment lasts. thought every fiber of the tired body may be shouting quit"
 If it ceases to enjoy an occupation it stops at once, though it create con- sternation all around. A real vaca- tiOn is trip into a fairyland, where the natives never heard of duties or obligations and the only law is Do what you really like"

DIDN'T HAVE TO ASK FOR IT
Simple Matter of Finance by Which Frederick Became Possessed of
 AlI-Day Sucker.

Frederick has not yet learned the addition and multiplication tables, but he has reached such an understand ing of finance as a verb transitive that one wonders as to his future.
 Here, Frederick, you be mothers big man and take this empty milk bot tie to the grocery on the corner and bring back a full bottle of fresh milk for baby"
 And 1 pay the money to the man, mumsie?"
 No, dear. You know how we get it sometimes. The man will charge it."
 Haven't you got any pennies, num- sie?"
 J.'NO, Frederick. mumsie hasn't any pennies for candy this time. Now be careful. That's nice little man."
 Frederick returned safely with a bottle of best grade milk. Also, he s',ss ss.',ss "a fine al-day sucker in his mouth.
 Why. Frederick! 1 hope you didn't asg the grocer to give you that can dyP ":
 The sucker had to be removed be- fore the youngster could articulate.
 "No-I wouldn't ask-I paid for it. ,"
 "Paid! Where did you get the money?''
 He give me a nickel for the empty bottle and then I pay for the sucker, and then4-then he charge you for the new bottle milky

ChArrN and Plum TrAAa.

Can you positively distinguish be- tween cherry tree and a plum tree in the spring of the year before the trees carry fruit? You may think that you can, yet, so similar are some cherry and plum trees that eventual ly you will surely fail unless you en- ploy the simple rule that trained hor- ttculturists follow. That one infall- ible guide is this: The leaves of the cherry, both in the bud and just after emerging from the bud, are folded to- gether like the pages in a book, while those of the plum are rolled up like a magazine. And, by the way, the leaves of the peach are folded like those of the cherry, and the leaves of the apricot are rolled like those of the plum.

Emery had the whOOping cough, and 1t had hung on for long time. In the worst of it he had contracted a bad cold that added to his discomfort. When he had finally recovered from the effects of that, he was once more allowed to play out of doors.
 One morning, as he started out, he commenced to sneeze, and his mother exclaimed in despair: 70, Emery, you have taken another cold" but did not keep him in the house.
 He was swinging on the front gate as one of the neighbors went by, who hailed him with, Hello, Emery. How are you this morning pretty well?"
 Emery answered: No, sir; I've got two colds and the whoOping cough"

The Golden Missal
By KATE EDMONDS.

k~<~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ ~+& e, 1921, by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate
 "A magnificent wedding gift,'' f1ut- tered Miss Rocket as her wrinkled white hands Srasped the quaint steel casket and bore it to her own chintz- hung sitting room.
 The English solicitor, for the Booth. bys of Scarrow looked very scOrnful as he went down the stone steps of the stately mansion where Agatha Rocket lived with her orphan niece, Sylvia. He knew the Rockets were very rich-so many Americans were rich-and that Andrew Boothby's mar riage to Sylvia was purely love match and that the young people were to go to Canada and begin their mar ried life on Andrews ranch there. He knew all these things, and he guessed that Miss Agatha Rocket was a tuft hunter, and he marveled how she had ever wheedled Andrews sole remain ing relative, Sir Angus Boothby of Scarrowe, into parting with the family heirloom, the Golden Missal. It was wedding gift to Andrew and his bride, but if they had waited it would have come to them anyway. But Agatha had wanted it to Haunt in the, faces of her hundred dear friends. It was so old, so mysterious, so precious!
 Alone in her sitting room Agatha thought of the triumph before her all her weary years of climbing the social ladder were worth the moment when she could display the Golden Missal among Sylvia's wedding gifts. It was such a wonderful thing-it was concerned with English history-an old abbot had written dark secrets on ivory tablets and inserted the sheets in the pages of the ancient mass book. It had then been bound in thin leaves of gold and sealed with a great seal,
