BY L. D.
For some time I have wanted a
Newfoundland or a St. Bernard dog
and a horse. I have promised myself
these friends and I shall keep that
promise as soon as I am able.

derstands a man better than any liv

real friend. He asks nothing more
than to be with you. He adapts him
self to your moods. He is with you
and yet, he will not force himself up
on you. All he asks is your company.
It is a bigger compliment than you
pay yourself sometimes. Sometimes
you want to get away from yourself.

I assure you that these things were
re-enforced last night by William L.
Finley's lecture on Oregon birds pnd
animals. Mr. Fhiley didn't talk about
dogs or horses but he talked about
nature's folk and, to me, this brought
home again my wish for u dog and a
horse.
When I saw the insect-outing, little,
wild, feathered people eat from the
hands of Mr. Finley's boy and girl,
the pleasure that I u never enjoyed
was made keen through realization.
Birds never lighted on my shoulders,
head or hands or ale from my hands.
I neve,- gave them a chance. They
would have had I so desired.
I hsve had the pleasure of knowing
some people who have loved and lived
the cut-of-doors. In spring these peo
ple know the plant and animal forms.
I have enjoyed afternoons with them;
afternoons when I was silent for I
knew not the language of the strange
land into which I had been taken, let
ey were glorious afternoons. Call
me emotional if you will and I will
be happy to always be emotional.
"Life" is the most abundant thing
in the world and yet we know so little
about it. We live and care not why,
nor how, nor whither. There are none
so blind as those who will not see.
Everywhere around us is life. If we
will but look we may find and be rich-,
er than we were before.
