William was twenty four years of age and unmarried. gpecial Correspondence. I do not wish to call attention to my own virtues, but is it not supreme ly unselfish to call attention to a place whose chief charm is its quiet and repose? or Tabors is a place one mnst dis cover onessclf or through a friend. It never by any chance seeks you. or this reason the circle who make their summer home here (never more than seventy people) are strongly linked together by past association or mu tual friends. There is no more beautiful spot on the picturesque St. Josep- river (alas for that a profane people should eo curtail the saintly name) than this same Tabor. A fruit 7arm of one hundred and fifty acres, situated on one side of the numerous bends of the serpentine river, about nine miles from the city of St. Joseph.

Along the top of this bank, which forms the west ern side of a shady apple orchard, are scattered at intervals small frame cottages of two, three and four rooms each, plainly but comfortably built and furnished, and last, but not least, Mr. Tabor has added a few unobtru sive modern conveniences, such as hot and cold water baths, etc. The dining room is located conveniently near the cottages. The farm bell rings a warn ing that in a half hour another bell will announce a waiting meal and our only regret is that the second bell does not ring first. The one excitement of the day is the arrival and departure of the little river steamer, "May Graham." which makes a daily trip up the river. Her chief attraction after the mail bag, is her jolly captain, whose jovial nature and twenty-five years of experience on the self-same river, have converted into a typical river captain, brimming over with funny stories 'and witty songs. For one who has been coming to Tabors Landing from year to year and finding here just the quality of nature one most desires, there is just cause for resentment towards the people who are trying to persuade Mr. Tabor to enlarge his accommoda tions to meet the constantly increas ing demands. We are selfish after all. One has only to study the tone and color that nature takes on here to know the character of the people who come. The river is the key-note of the place. There is all the difference fn 3 3 3 3 iftftftftftftftftftftftftftttftftftftftftftftftftftft; the world between a rtver and a lake There is no intensity to the river, no insistence. It drifts along, neither too hopeful, too lusty, nor too gloomy. Its song is one of peace. There is a dream quality in the ntes, a sugges tiveness of the unreal as if we, too; might be a part of the great dream of a mighty Brahm. And so we find rest in the air, and Soft color in the clouds, and every where floats the gossamer as idly ami undesignedly as our own fragmentray talks. The sun has a very decided glow, to be sure, but it is a kindly one. The atmosphere has a quiet balm that soothes and stills. The whole expression of nature is as if she were in a momentary state of pause, and the most beautiful part of life at Ta bors is that the people are in perfect harmony with nature: They too are in a momentary mood of pause, for they are not chronic idlers. One would not suspect that the dreamy looking man who plays artist each summer, idly sketching, is in reality a doctor of philosophy, an earnest student and lecturer on child nature and psychology. Xor would one dream that the woman who so cheer fully misses her ball at croquet has been singularly honored for her scholarship by admission into the Koyal Society of Great Britain. Xor would it occur to me that the pleasant companion of the hayride, whose sweet contralto voice chimes in on the chorus of the Alabama Cpoais one of the greatest forces in tfcajfttl anthropical work of the 'cufafo Woman's club. One does not suspect these people at first, but the discern ing mind soon leams the earnest work-a-day nature of one's companions aa -: JS3Z.
