Driving; a horse is one of those siinpla
processes, HKe Bailing a oouv, wmuu
anyone can master wivnout, previous
experience. Jiiveryuoay Knows m
there is nothing dillicult about, it, ana
those that have never done i are per
fectly aware of therr ability to do it,
if they choose.
But "driving from the back seat, is
quite a different thing; that is a grave
and serious affair, an undertaking oi
tragic intensity. There is not one mo
ment of calm, peaceful enjoyment for
those so employed. ' Every circum
stance and incident to them is vital
and momentous; each turn in the road
bids fair to bo a certain pathway to
destruction; every signboard is a false,
deceitful snare set to mislead them,
while each movement of the horse is !
but an index of vicious propensities
about to be revealed. In fact, this
method of driving is not only physical
ly exhausting, but mentally depressing
and spiritually demoralizing, and not
alone does the driver suffer, but also
all who are unfortunate enough to
find themselves in the same vehicle
with such a one.
Perhaps a brief description of my
own will best serve to illustrate my
theme.
1 had run down to spend a couple of
days with my friends the Graziers,
who were occupying a charming coun
try place for the summer. On the
afternoon of my arrival my hostess
suggested that possibly I might enjoy
a drive over to I'ine Knoll, which they
deemed a most desirable point from
which to view the country round about
I, of course, expressed my delight with
the idea of a quiet country drive after
the rush and turmoil of the city, from
which I had just escaped.
Immediately after luncheon a light
two-seated wagon drawn by a pair of
spirited bays appeared at the door.
Mrs. Crazier and I took our seats be
hind and Mr. tlrazier. springing into
the seat in front, took the reins and
we were whirled away down the long,
smooth driveway, beneath rows of tine
old elms. 1 trlanced admiringly at
them as we passed along and turned
to my hostess enthusiastically: "What
magnificent trees these are," I ejacu
lated. ISho, however, failed to respond, and
I noticed that her lips were tightly
compressed. "He careful, Willard,
when you turn into the rotid." she
said, warnin(ly, and I perceived that
we were approaching the picturesque
stone gateway, over which much su-
lvVJJ(UA tTh

eliciting any response from the occu
pant of the front seat, who continued
to point out to me special features in
the surrounding landscape, despite her
protest
We shortly began to descend the
hill, which process I foresaw would
permit my hostess ample opportunity
to lend her ever ready assistance from
the back seat, and I was quite right in
my surmises.
"it was, "Willard, what a loose rein
vou have! Can't vou realize that
they're likely to stumble at any mo
ment?" Or, "Willard, we're coming to
one of those dangerous 'thank-you-ma'ams;'
do be careful."
I sat by wondering at Mr. Grazier's !
unruffled composure under the contin
ual fire, but reflected that doubtless
he was used to it
Next we reached the crossroad, and
Mr. Grazier turned the horses t the
right, remarking: "Here we leave the
main road for & drive through the
woods."
"Oh, no, Willard, I'm sure you're
mistaken," his wife declared, "we
ought to keep to the main road for at
least a mile more. I remember perfect
ly just how every inch of the road
looked the last time I drove over it"
"My dear, I am absolutely sure that
this is the road," he replied, whipping
up the horses.
Mrs. Grazier leaned back In her seat
with an expression of intense resigna
tion depicted upon her face. "Very
well; take us anywhere you please,
provided that you get us home finally.
I shall not say another word; I have
offered all the advice that I Intend to
this afternoon."
I heard this statement with much
satisfaction, feeling that advice was
not, after all, the necessary accom
paniment of a thoroughly charming
country drive.
"This woody road Is lovely, at all
events, and so shady and cool," I put
In timidly.
"Yes, it is very pretty here," Mrs.
gregate for work or for amusement,
some are present who ever stand one
side, their mission being to advise, di
rect and criticise. They make them
selves generally useful by telling oth
ers what they ought to do and how to
do it
And as often as it is my misfortune
to run across them (and their name is
legion, I .regret to say) my painful
country drivo rises before me and I
murmur: "I know you well, my
friends; therefore I shun you, as I do
all of your kind, who, like you, are
rt-i'irbi r-din the haelr nest ."TtnuUn.

Grazier assented; then she added:
perb English ivy was gracefully twin- j "Willard, I see a farmer coming and 1
want you juat to ask him II thla is the
right road."
"Hut 1 know it is the road."
"su' matter. I ahouUl think ynu
might ask him, if only to set my mind
at rest.
"I suppose it would rest it very much
If he said it was the wrong road."
"There, that's why you won't In
auire: you kiio he'll say it' the
wrong road."
Juat then the furmr. came alongside,
and Mr. Gra.ior, who was apparently
di-U riiiiiicd not to atop, audduiily drew
rein, uioro abruptly, I fancied, than
was h'tlly necessary, and my coinpan-
so that it might reach ln-r ears alone, 1 l,,n on the ba.'k aeat, after exclaiming:

"We're very proud of that ivy." Mr.
Grazier remarked, eyeing it with satis
faction, as the bays turned smoothly
out into the road.
"It is beautiful," I murmured, trans
ferring my attention to his wifii, who
was holding her brouth and firmly
grasping her aide of the wagon.
"Are you timid about driving?" I
asked, sympathetically.
"Oil, no," she returned, "only my
husband absolutely disregards every
augesliou of Uiine," ami aim sighed
deeply.

Geologists Contend That the Garden of
Eden Was Located There.
In an interesting and highly instruc
tive article Edward S. Martin, In the
Ladies' Home Journal, reviews the
numerous theories advanced by sci
entists in the endeavor to solve the per
plexing problem as to the exact .locali
ty of the Garden of Eden. After sift
ing the theories the writer concludes
that the question is no nearer answered
than.it was two thousand years ago,
and that there are no present indica
tions that the matter will ever be defi
nitely settled by any man. To one of
the latest and most ingenious theories
Mr. Martin thus refers: The north pole
will seem at. first thought to the av
erage investigator the most unlikely
site on earth for paradise to have occu
pied. Nevertheless several sobe and
thoughtful books and pamphlets have
been written in support of the north
pole's pretensions. The north pole
nowadays is bitter cold, but it has not
always been so. Geologists tell-us that
the eurth was excessively hot when it
first began its course much too hot to
admit of the presence of any living;
creatures, except, perhaps, a salaman
der. As It grew cooler vegetation be
gan on it, and then it began to De
peopled, first with fishes, and then
with birds and beasts, finally with man.
The first spot on earth to get cool
enough to use was the north pole. In
the process of time it got too cold, but
there must have been a long period
when the north pole was the moat
comfortable pnrt of the world. During
. thia period, many eminent geologist
believe, there existed around the north
pole a continent now submerged, and
on that continent our progenitor
were comfortable In their first home.
It is known with entire certainty that
the iMilur region wusonce warm enough
for tropleul vegetation to grow there.
There wns light enough alao for such
vt'gi'tntioti nlitindunt light. Indeed, for
all uses, nnd plenty for primeval man.
(ienloy tells us that man might have
lived ut the north pole.
