If it is true it costs too much to live,
ltl is Just as true it costs too much to
die. Costly caskets, lavish livery, fash
hlonable flowers and all that, make It
burdensome for the poor who are
made to feel that other manners are
unaccountable In the best society.

Our Hills
Some of our city folk never get the
:;rie to go to t'.u hlils for a day or
even for an afternoon. Tills Is the
delightful time of the year to do this
sort of thing. JiiBt now the canyons
are filled with all kinds of summer
beauty and afford a restful relief to
the home-tied. There has been such
an almmlnnce of rain this season that
the mountain fruits that abound In
such wild profusion are plentiful. The
homely little huckleberry has made a
famous crop and In purple plenty,
awaits the patient pickers. The ser-

Do as the renowned author of Than
atopsls William Cullen Bryant ad
vised :
"Go forth, under the open sky, and
list
To Nature's teachings, while from all
around,
Earth and her waters, and the depths
of air,
Cornea a still voice."
It Is the same author who said:
"To htm who In the love of Nature,
holds
Communion with her visible forms,
ahA ennnkn
A various language; for his gay hours
She has a voice of gladness, and a
smile
And eloquence of beauty, and she
glides
Into his darker musings, with a mild
And healing sympathy, that steals
away
Their sharpness ere he is aware."

Let Cs Be kind
"Let us be kind;
The sunset tints will eoon be In the
west,
Too late the flowers are laid then on
the quiet breast
Let us be kind. ' i
And when the angel guides have
sought and found us,
Their hands shall link the broken ties
of earth that bound us.
And heaven and home shall brighten
all around us
Let us be kind."
