for us ouco morn.
Bho's coming with the breezes that will blow
along the shore.
The sun will kiss her ringlets and will tlngo
her cheeks with brown ,
While ho who loves her madly grapples fate
and tolls in town ,
And Cupid , with the arrows that bo's given
her to twirl ,
\VI11 puarl anew the footsteps of thospright-
ly summer girl.
When robin redbreast hops around while yet
'tis early dawn ,
And tennis players dot the green of grassy
Held und lawn ,
\Vo'H sue her dressed in percale , with a walkIng -
Ing stick In Land ,
And In bur brother's necktlo will she stroll
along the sand ,
And whcio the crowd is thickest in the sum
mer hotel whirl ,
\V111 bloom once moro the beauty of the
charming summer girl.
"With glossy collar shining In the light of
summer dnys
With vest uud sash and blazer wo will learn
anew her ways.
Young Cupid will instruct us how to plerco
the thin disguise
Of masculine attlro that hides the maiden
heart wo pri/o ,
And when once moro wo claim bor as the
summer's priceless pearl ,
"We'll hall the smiling features of the jolly
summer girl.
NRAIltXO A CMMAX.
Somebody's courting somebody ,
Somowhoru or other tonight ;
Somebody's whispering to somebody ,
Under the clear moonlight.
Pacing the ocean's shore ,
Edged by the foaming war ,
\Vords never used bofaro ,
Sound sweet to somebody.
Two sitting sldo by side ,
Float with the ebbing tido.
"Thus , dearest , may wo glldo
Through lite , " says somebody.
Somewhere , somebody ,
Makes love to somebody
Tonight.
Cupid nnd the summer girl have formed a
compact , entered Into u limited partnership ,
ns it were.
Ho goes wherever she goes. When she
tosses the tennis ball and ones "Lovo , " ho is
there to see that she has fair play. IIo is
hidden in her bouquet and peeps from be
neath her fan.
After all whether It bo youth and maid in
tent on pleasure , or fat and plethoric pator
famllius nnd his mild and matronly spouse ,
it is the kindly instinct of domcstiosontimcnt
and affection that has moro than anything
else to do with this going awnv on the summer -
. mor business It is love that inspires it all
plnoro than moro variety or closiro for pleas
ure.
Recreation Is not always rest , but the two
( ro hand in hand , ana nothing tends moro to
rest the energies that have been overused
than bringing into play these that have boon
Inactive or suppressed. In order to have
genuine reel cation it is necessary to not only
discontinue the usual routine , but also to find
something to do which will arouse n now
nonso of power distinct from that which the
ordinary vocation nwakons.
It Is vocation vs vocation. The world , es
pecially the business world of the cities to
day , is largely made up of hurried , over
strained , practical people , who have no fn-
vorlto study to rovfvo , no scientific taste to
gratify , no Intellectual pleasure to pursue.
It would bo as useless for them to undertake ,
sorao literary task , for instance , for recrea
tion as it would bo for a worn-gut clergyman
to ongiigo in inrm woru. what , tnoy want is
diversion , and this they got.
Just as the appetite iu weaitnoss craves for
what It most requires , so the tired mlna seeks
the needed avenues of recreation.
There seems to bo something about the
freedom of the field nnd sea that brings back
the feeling of youth again ; tholntorcour.se
with what Is unconventional gives relief
from the long formality of the social and
commercial ana oveu the domestic red tape
' modern life.
Tfle princes ofVatos has a now fad 1
The fnccs of Queen Victoria , the prlnco of
\Valos and all the young Walosos , have boon
photographed on the thinnest of egg-shell
china cups and saucers , by her royal high
ness. They are said to bo excellent likenesses -
nesses ; the royal photographer's work is
spoken of as most artistic. The coloring ,
too , Is good , dull brown In Ivory-tiutod
china. '
Every woman in England Is ransacking
her garret In search of old bits of china , little
King George creamers , Delnh milk jues ,
Queen Anne teapots , and other treasures on
which to photograph the features of her loved
ones.
This idea of having : i pretty face on n tea

Ono cannot help but tender to these young
Indies our respectful salutation. They are at
this moment older mid wiser than they will
over bo again. The problem of life which
puzzles not n few of the elders is to thorn thu
simplest thing conceivable , devoid of per
plexity , crowned In tlio end with perfect suc
cess. So mote it be. Fiftcon or twenty
years hence , ns staid matrons , they will
watch their own daughters passing through
this Important crisis of life in which n school
girl becomes a graduate. A word to thorn
against that nappy day : Don't eivo to your
daughters any of the silly-willy , mlsslo-slssio
names that end In le. And If you bestow an
honest , womanly pronomon , see to It that ills
# ot mutilated to suit some passing fad or
fashion. Lot Mary bo Mary still , not Min
nie nor Blrdlo , nor Alitmio nor Molllo. These
nro well enough for thu nursery , but they
look mighty foolish in print.

With the dawn of Juno comes that always
exasperating question : "Whither this year
to spend the summer ! " To the wlfo and sis
ter and the ono "that Is dcaror than all
others , " the seashore or the mountains hold
out allurements that are irresistible , and so
they go In their garb of spr ing
to the fashionable places of the
continent content to rest themselves
by changing their toilettes half a dozen times
n day , a bath at the morning mid evening
hour , a drive on the boulevard in the early
twilight , the rest and relaxation of the day
terminating with a ball at ono of the big
hotels. And this round of pi oasuro Is enticing ,
nay fascinating to some men , but thora nro

this brief description of nn outing on Wash
ington lake in central Minnesota is written.
When the birds are singing their morricst
roundelays , wnon the early morning dews are
yet upon the crass mid nature bos boon
touched by the brush of the Divluo painter ,
and there nro glorious bits of color through
the vcrduro made by the dandelions and the
buttercups , when the greens of the foliage
nro In cxquisito tints and thcro is n breath
over It all that you can't find in the atmos
phere of even ono of Branson Howard's ' most
poetic canvas drops , then It is that the true
Nlmrod sighs for the water with split bamboo
rod , an excellent reel , and nn "F" braided
line to assist him in n sport which has not an
equal in these lln do soldo days. A sport
which is growing rarer with the years ba-
cause of the number of intense and conscien
tious lishormen who are ferreting out the
llttlo-heard-of lakes , brooks and streams and
by their art nro diminishing tno number of
the inhabitants of these watery regions , until
now the good flshinir grounds grow "beauti
fully loss" with the return of the seasons.
But to the fisherman who will bo content
with catching eight or ton-pound pickerel ,
three or four pound pike , now and then a
muskalongo weighing eighteen or twenty
pounds , a silver bass occasionally welching
nnywhero from eight to llftoon pounds , with
porch until you grow sick and tired of taking
them oil the hook , then Washington lake is
just the place to spend a short outing.
About llfty miles north of the
south line of Minnesota , in l > cssour
county and six miles from Itasotn on
the Chicago , St. Paul , Minneapolis
& Omaha railway , are located four
lakes , nearly all of them open
ing Into each other , Washington ,
Kmillo , George and Elysian , Washington
oolng the largest.
The lakes lie In a "wilderness of sweets ( "
to use the Imagery of Milton ; iu summer-time
these great undulating prairies , through
wnicn you nuo to reacn them , are umowy
with ripening grain and tasseicd corn , or ,
like the changeful sea , they swoop away in
green blessedness , only that their ripples
bear to the tired senses the sweet odor of hor-
biago for the fattening of unnumbered cattlo.
The general topography of the country is
such as to elicit curious surprise ns well as
lively admiration of the visitor. In the midst
of a prairie country the tourist comes upon
thos.0 gems in nature's breast , of such limpid
beauty and opaline splendor as ho would iu
no wise expect.
Upon your arrival atKasotayou take a carriage -
riago drive of six miles through a beautifully
wooded upland country , the early morning
air giving you new life and animation ; al
ready you have commenced to feel the quick-
cuing forces within you throwing off the pro
found ennui which has held you chained like
a Titan for a twelve-month.
A good natured Irishman becomes your
host at tha lake , and the accommodations
provided by Pat Shrehan are quito good
enough for the sportsman who cares moro for
a big duv's catch than for the food which is
taken Into his stomach. Pnt is a character
in his way , and knows every Inch of the
lakes , for ho has fished them summer and
winter for the past twenty years. His boats
are the best to bo had , and his hospitalltv is
as genuine as his nature Is kindly , and his
farmhouse , located amid the trees but
n short distance from Wnshineton lake ,
is largo and cozy , a delightful plnco
where ono can got away from the potty an
noyances , the perplexities and nnxlotios of
the world for u time. A place where the
thunder of the wheels of commerce and the
smoke of Its everlasting conflicts never pene
trate and whore ono can breath the pure air
distilled from the presses of the morning.
Beneath the umbrageous protection of ma
jestic forests , hidden deep in the sheltered recess -
cess of almost a wilderness , bordered com
pletely by pompus wood-crowned hills reposes
the largest of the quartette of lanes to which
reference has been made above , L.ako Wash
ington.
It has a shore line of about thirty miles
and great old trees como down to the water's
edge , giving to the coast a picturesque effect
not exceeded by uny similar body of water in
this country. Uich odors of spruce and cedar ,
encumber the cloudless ntmosphoro with n
delicious fragrance and every breath is invig
orating and strcngthning beyond description.
Three of us mndoup a party to this com
paratively unknown resort lust week , especi
ally to Omaha people , and In the two days wo
remained , succeeded in catching without par-
ttculnr clTort over four hundred pounds of
Hsh , some of them weighing eight and ton
pounds. Remarkable as it may .scorn , on the
first morning out , two of us caught over ono
hundred pounds if pike ami pickerel with just
enough perch to g vo the string n bit of color.

scdtntivo of the Grand Trunk , who is a
sportsman in the I'o&t ' accepted sqnso of that
much abused woru , wis : 01111 ot our party and
having ilshod in the waters of Africa , as well
as In these of his own Canadian country , was
the major dome of the ramp.

the attack that George btcaino domar.ill/nd

ho lost his llsh , having glvon his line too
much play , but before shaking the hook from
its mouth the pickerel mude a beautiful leap
of three feet above the water , shaking Ills
head at George In u manner which plainly
said : "If I had you down in tno o depth's
there would be a fat man loss in the world to
annoy us. "
