Never vet have I been able to bring
my splendid mind to that point where I
could, sce why people become insane on
the subject of leaving home in the sum

and plenty of horses and bicycles and
electric cars and automobiles, and a soda

fifty yards away, and three mails a day

write poetry, but otherwise you €oon find
yourself longing to be in a city chuin

Chinese laundry, the Superintendent of
pies wants a closet or a room for every
separate article in the house, She has a
den for the boys, a nursery for the
younger imps, a sewing-room, a camphor
closet, a bath-room, and goodness knows
what all, but every spring the summer
boarding mania seizes her and no hard
ships can scare away her determination
to leave the city. In ordér fo get out of
town she has to sew nine weeks, stint
herself for months, pack all of our world
ly possesglons in one or two trunks, and
labor assiduously at all hours to prepara
for the future, when she must keep tha
children presentable and law-abiding, She
is willing, however, to suffer all this self
denial just so that she can hide herself
in the backwoods and wage perpetual
warfare on green apples and poizon oak.

Nobody sympathizes with General

My trip to Huckleberry Glen has taught
me what It is to set a large crowd ot
people in motion and anticipate their
wants. When we left for this hermitage
we had with us a variety of articles
which, in point of numbers, could not be
surpassed by the stock of the 5- and 10
cent store, There was the mouse trap,
which the Commander-in-Chief persist
ed in taking, and which she balted and
set under the car seat while we were on
the train, the baby carriage, the canary
bird cage, the portable wash-tub, the ve
locipede, the bottle of cold tea, the snack
for the juvenile contingent, the smelling
salts, and the day's paper, which last
treasure I have learnt by heart since 1
entered this monastery. On the train we
had one motto, which we were forced to
repeat a hundred times, It was: “Don’t
stick vour head out the car window.” By
uttering this warning some 500 times we
avoided the expense of eight or nine juve
nile funerals, and managed to make the
day one of hopeless misery for ourselves,
There was a sheriff or some constabulary
officer on the cars, who had a prisoner in
his custody. Vainly I tried to borrow
from this man a pair of handcuffs with
which to hold my offspring in check,
They courted death in a thousand ways-—
attempted to leap through the windows,
dashed out on the platform, climbed over
the seats, wormed in and out of the
aisles while the train was turning curves,
and irritated the rest of the passengers
until 1 feared our whole party would be
mobbed. All around me I could see the
murderous glances of those who suffered
with us, but lacked the Christian resjgna
tion to bear up under it.

things the children have injured,
Huckleberry Glen, N. W., July 26, 1809,
Dear Editor:
Ld
As Pve intimated to ydu, life at
Huckleberry Glen isn't a mad whirl of
pleasure for me. 'To tell the truth, the
programme doesn't seem to have been
arranged especially for my edification.
They didn’t shoot off poperackers and
fireworks when I came, nor does the old
man appear to take much stock in the
advice 1 give him about agriculture, He
listens respectfully and then goes about
his business just as if 1 weren't on the
map. He didn't even lay off the day
I got here. After driving down to the
depot to meet us and landing us at his
house, which, by the way, is no villa, he
politely excused himself and went out
into the fields to conduct a crusade
against potatobugs, It is said that these
insects have an unfortunate way uf
doing damage to crops, even though
high-toned city people may happen to be
on the farm.

While it wasn't in the contract, and
have no actual right to demand it, 1
am a little bit surprized that the sweaty
old agriculturist with whom I board
doesn’t take the daily papers and have
the latest magazines lying around loose
in hig house, It would make my sojourn
much more agreeable and strengthen the
ties that exist between us, In fact,
there are a thousand little things which
our host might do. even though we do
pay only $1.50 a week. It seems to me
he ought to be more enthusiastic about
my views, and listen more attentively
when I talked politics, and seek my advice
on how to run his farm, and consult me
as to the extermination of tobacco
worms. Indeed, I would be grateful if
the: man would only get excited—if he
would only show some gymploms of hav
ing a nervous system.
Tp here my whoie family occupies one
room, and the children alternate n
waking up, thereby enabling us to con
tinually have with us throughout the
night at least one crying baby. We knew
we had this. to. undergo when we came,
but deliberately ran our heads into the
noose. "The contract specified only one
room, but T am surpriced that the family
hasn't taken such a liking to us that they
are willing to fix up their parlor as an
other chamber and place it at our ser
vice. More unselfish things have been
done. Between meals the children have
to go hungry, for the. old lady who pre
gides over the management of this es
tablishment doesn’t appear to think that
extra meals served at intervals through
out the day would leave her a safe mar
gin of profit at $1.50 a week. I can’t see
why she looks at the matter in such a
cold-blooded business light.
What aggravates me most of all is that
the Commander-in-Chief never murmurs
or kicks against the hardships to which
she is subjected, She appears to think
our host is doing all for us that is re
quired, and that we are having an ex
cellent time. When I kick she asks me
if 1 expected to find canopied pool tables
out in tha ecorn-ficlds and vaudeville
shows in the barn and a gilt-edged library
in the dairy. She hints, too, that the old
farmer and his wife didn’t agree to quit
work for a month just to entertain me,
and that my views on the subject of
agriculture are worth abont as much as
those of a fewing-machine agent. In
deed, she seems to espouse the cause of
these cold, calculating, grasping people,
As for the ehildren, they appear to be
having fun until there is no gense in it.
In fact, I'm the only person who scems
to be imposed upon; nobody appears to
recognize my importance. I.ife has got
ten ta be one great, big quinine pill with
me. If vou can't do auy better, send mo
a lot of patent-medicine almanacs to
read. I'm up against the counterfeit
thing, and those who love me have got
to pull together to keep me {rom coin

NichYet Starving.
Doctors frequently have very wealthy
patients who are starving to death, They
have money to buy food, but their
stomach has not the strength to digest
it. It lies there, a heavy fermented mass,
