A Lesson from the Hills.

Th other day, whn I want , up into
th hills I had a worry. rnawlnj, tar

at night and it walked with tn at noon
day. and whan tha
gray avenlng

Bkles there was the
worry coming, too,

I was pretty tired
of the worry, but
eoihehow I couldn't

It Tha busier I was
' the busier the
i " i
i
worry was, too; and when friends came
to tea me I heard the worry's voice
above all that the friend were trylnjt
i to say ana jifa was getting to be a good
oeai -or a nuisance.
- And then I went to the hills, and the
wuirj went aiong, or course. catch a
I good ; sized, able bodied worry staying at
home with v the old .clothes and the idle
furnace and tha empty Icebox, t
Every day In the hills' I went walking,
short. Walks at first, ' then long ones,
V over f sdn-soajced trails ' that led higher
and ever higher up the red hills. Shady
f aths winding among ctedafs that'looked
thousand years old. Down soft val
. fey With the green a benediction to. tired
eyes. Along little streams that laughed
and gurgled at the Joke of life as human
beings live it, " always walking," always
. out under the great dispassionate skies,
now blue, '.now gray, now, flecked With
'foamy, white, but always remote, always
unprejudiced, always Impersonal.:' -'' V
, And one day, all at once the worry was
jgone, vanished, , disappeared from vie
'and almost from memory. .'.
' Gone down stream with the little bits of
brown bark I learned to sail la the gig
j gling water, gone up the canyon to listen
to tne crooning of the wind in the cedars
and the gusty sights of the pines, gone
to play with the fluttering leaves of the
t aspen, in the shade by the turn of the
, trail, gone forever. Tbr the hills wril not
let a worry stay with you. --
; I am glad I came to the hills; they
taught me how little and how foolish
land how ungrateful I was. ' ,
,; "When the worry bit the deepest there
I stood the eternal hills, smiling at me
I from under the scurrying clouds.
"Wait." they said, "be patient, take
Icomfort, see the little sauirrel down there
in the ehadow-ee how he hurries about
his business? He's worried for fear he
won't have enough, to last him throush
tno outer winter. He will. I know h
will, . for I have seen his grandfather
worry the same way, all for nothing.

It may be that I dreamed a dream; It may be that I eaw
The forecast of time to come, by tome supernal law. , .
I Jeemed to dwell in this tame world, and in this modern time; :
Yet nowhere , wag there eight or sound of poverty or crime. ' "
All etrlfe had ceased; men were disarmed, and quiet Peace had made
, Ajnousana avenues for toll, in place of War's grim trde. 4.
From east to west, from north to south, where, highways smooth and broad
Tied, State to state, the waste lands bloomed likefgarden spots Of God. .
. There were no beggars In the streets; there wnre no unemployed,' ' '
For each man owned his plot of ground, and labored and enjoyed.
Sweet children grew like garden flowers; all strong and fair to see; -' 1
, And when I marvelled at the sight, thus spake a Voice to me: v
"All Motherhood is how an art; the greatest art on earth; '
And nowhere is there known the crime of one unwelcome birth.
From rights of parentage, the sick and sinful are debarred; ; -V ' v ,
For Matron Science keeps our house, and St the door stands guard.
We know the cure for darkness lies in letting in the light; '
And Prisons are replaced by Schools, where wrong views change to right
The wisdom, knowledge, study, thought,' once bent on beast and sod,
We give now to the human race, the highest work of God; ,
And as the gard ner chooses seed, so we select with care; ' ' '-;
And as our Man Plant grows, we give him soil fcnd sun and air. '
There are no slums; no homeless poor, all mea are opulent, .
For Mother Earth belongs to them, as was the First Intent." i- -

selves; they call each other the ' most
awful names. Why do they do it? Life
is so short with them. ,. One season we
see them and the next they are "gone.
Just a little season, rain, sunshine, wind,
a full stream, ' low water, hall,' sleet,
lightning, they are all so wonderful, and
the little Striped squirrels there on the
rock do not see any of these things,
they Just chatter and scold and fight
For what? We wonder and wonder. ;
"The great mountain there, the king of
us all, he never worries) he cannot There
Is bo much for him to do. .
"There are the clouds always getting
lost, and wandering ! around , like white
sheep forgotten by the shepherd; he has
to call up the wind, the singing shepherd,
to whistle them all home again. : '
'.'There is the sunrise. What would that
be without the great peak, and the waters
fall and rise, andvthe sunsets, and the
moon sails In calm grandeur through tha
glorloui sky?.' -. . ,t - , ;
"We wonder among ourselves,. we hlUs,
we laugh together, we mountain streams.
Why, even the yellow flowers there on
the spur of the mountain know enough
to smile la the sunshine, and be happy.
What, poor things you, are, you humans,
you and the squirrels, what good does all
the chattering, and tha hurrying, and the
hoarding, and the worrying do? Tell us
that, we want to know, we hills.",
And it was , while I listened to them
that the worry disappeared, and my heart
Is light again, for I know that all Is well
in the end, and that all the worrying In
the world will not make it better.
And so I live in the sunshine and walk
In the rain and rejoice In a little weather
Just because I am alive, like tha flower
there on the spur of the sreat mountain.
Alive andpart of the great plan. ' Who
am I, to sit and make tha day sad and
the night forlorn with my moanlngs?
Come up into the hills, tha glorious hills
and learn peaoe, oh ye of troubled minds.
The hills that endure, and smile, and re
Jolce that they, too, are part of tha great
scneme. .,'.. ....,

leave behind you the small annoyances,

The Terror
By GARRETT P. 8ERVISS.
Near the old city of Halberstadt, fa
mous among traveling Americans for its
beautiful specimens of ancient wooden
architecture, there has lately been dis
covered, ; in digging for brick clay a
cemetery of extinct monsters, of the
tribe of the dinosaurs, which has not only
aroused the enthusiasm of German pal
eontologists (a paleontologist is one who
studies the life and remains of ancient
creatures of the earth), but has also at
tracted the special attention of the em
peror, who, delighted with Mr. Carnegie's
gift of a pIa8terot-paris model of the
gigantic American diplodocus, is now
pleased t6 find that German soil is capa
ble of showing up something of the same
kind, if not of equal magnitude.

weeks ago. My parents absolutely refuse
to let him call on me, to lately he has

week he asked me to elope with him, as
my parents would never onosent to us
being married. He Is a very nice man
and has , no bad habits. He says he
loves me dearly, but I don't know what
to do, as, I am almost afraid to tell him
'No.', And yet 1 hate to deceive my

years old.. Thy art uncovering the old
earth as It was in the days of the flying
dragons.' They are treading upon some
of the very foil that was trod by the
monsters themselves. .. .,
Let us consider the dinosaur.' He was
the wonder of the planet in bis time. His
modern name means "terrible llsard,"
from the Greek "words delnos, "terrible, "
and sauros, "lteard," , because he had
Some of the physical characteristics of
the, innocent ; lttte llsard of our day.
Sometimes,, in some of bis forms, lie at
tained . an almost unbelievable stature.
The dlplodocus; war seventy-five or
eighty feet long, and thirty feet tall.
Others were probably at large,', tuch' as
the, brontosaurus, "giant llsard," from
brontes, "a giant," The ' creatures,
varying in slse, but always terrible in ap
pearance, were scattered widely over the
earth in ancient times. They have been
found In America, Europe and Africa, and
so far as we know at present, the Ameri
can species held the precedence in else,
But so much would not be gained for
knowledge if the paleontologists were
content simply to dig out the remains of
these tremendous beasts, and to put thefr
skeletons together and set them up to
be gated at In the museums. , The 'most
astonlslUng discoveries have been made
by studying their structure, and eompar
ing it with that of other animals. Thus
it was found that some of these gigantio
creatures , were apparently predecessors
of .the bird. Some of them had feet like
those of birds. Others bore many ,.i.e
temblances to the modern ostrich. After
ward there arose speoies of. birds which
had Jaws and teeth, showing their reptll
ian 'origin. Vv-''..-;. - ; ; ; :,
One of the most significant facts about
the dinosaurs Is that some of the largest
of them had bones . filled with cavities,
the apparent reason for which was to
Insure relative lightness together with
strength. Nature knew the great strength
of a) hollow tube before man had rea
soned it out. A dinosaur with hollow
bones could grow, to a great site . with
out beoomlng so weighty that he could
not run. Some . scientists believe that
the running birds of., today were derived
from' some of those creaturei The real
flying dragons of ancient times (end the
remains of some have been' found in the
rocks) were 'not of , areaf ; !s-but
their ancestors may have been veritable
giants, thtugh unable to lift themselves
from the -ground.; '..', ,.;, .
, One of the things which-most strikes
the mind in studying these creature of
the past is the evidence that, nature, as
well as man, proceeds by moans of
perimcnt. She has not ; developed her
creatures suddenly, full formed; but by
long , processes of; evolutions There is
no evidence that manlike animals lived
in the time of dinosaurs.' Those giants
were then the masters of the earth.; They
had small brains but big bodies. Tt they
had some brain, and they form en -un-
questionable link In the chain of life 'upon
this globe. '.,.; . :,-u':i",. ii
