When about twenty-aix year old I wont to America, and whil lu New York I accidentally met Gertrude Never- ?all, who wa th daughter of Sir Goof ray Gleadenning, our neighbor at th hill Sh, In making what they eonaid rd a plebeian marriage, had been caat off and disowned by her proud father and all hr friend and relative.

There are a greut many families who spend their summer In town un der the mistaken Impression that they 'cannot afford" to go away from borne. If they only knew It there Is one sure means of passing the heated season in a most enjoyable way and even at less expense than Is entailed by keeping bouse In town. Camping out will solve the problem, as many people can gladly testify. It Is always an easy matter to find a pleasant camping site -within few miles of home, and It Is astonishing what fun can be derived from leading the life of the gypsy, to say nothing of the re sultant benefits to health. Tbe first thing to do Is to decide Just where the camp shall be located. If possible It should be near a lake or a limpid stream of water, for apart from SCENE IN A 8 the pleasures of boatiiig and bathing fresh water is one of the great neces saries of the camp Just as It Is a nec essary of the house. In any event care should be taken to see that the sum mer home "In the wilderness" Is In a healthy spot, not too difficult of access and yet removed from anything that may serve to remind the campers of the town they have deserted for no body can really enjoy camping out un til he can unrestrainedly enter Into the spirit of the woods and mountains. The site of the camp finally decided, father and mother should hold a con sultation to determine Just what is needed In the way of accoutrements and food supply. They will do well to consult, If pos sible, somebody who has had experi ence In spending a summer In a tent, else they may fall Into the grievous er ror of taking more things along than they really require, and while It will not do to go into camp empty handed It Is almost equally Inconvenient to carry so much baggage that oue does not know what to do with. , In pitching the tent select a knoll In preference to a low or hollow spot of ground and be sure to dig a shallow trench, five or six Inches wide, around the spot on which tbe tent Is to stand, getting the trench as close to tbe tent as possible. This will Insure the tent floor being perfectly dry. The tent should stand In an open space where the sun shines freely. If possible have the ground slope from back to front, unless you are using a "conical" tent, In which case a slope will be found very Inconvenient Pull tbe canvas taut and see that It stretches to the ground, but do not pull the guy ropes too tight, for tbe first rain will cause them to shrink, and If there Is no yield to them something will have to give way, and mayhap the tent will come crashing to the grouud. Just how the days shall be spent by the campers must be left to their In dividual tastes and to tbe varying recreations offered by their surround ings. But In order for everybody thoroughly to enjoy the outing It Is Incumbent on each to perform cheer fully the duties allotted by the head of the camp usually the mother of the family, for the father Is hard nt work In town getting the pennies that make the camp possible. I'udoubteU ly the most onerous tusk Is to keep the fire well supplied with wood, for the way lu which even the most modest camp fire will devour wood Is some thing remarkable. But Bobby, Johnny and Tommy can easily devise many schemes to turn this part of the work Into actual fun. Tbe girls of the party will take charge of the culinary opera tions always under the watchful eye of materfamtllas and of the washing ud cleaning of dishes and clothes. There will lie plenty of work for all to do, but all will have time for recrea tion If the camp Is managed on the right line. And when the summer Is t an end, and the time comes to bid adieu to the streams and lakes and woodland, the camper will one and all agree that they have bad "the best time of their lives." TAGQART'8 POLITICAL RISE, Began Life at a Lunch-Room Pie Coun ter In Indianapolis. Tom Taggart, of Indianapolis, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, was born In Waterford, Ireland, In 1850. On coming to this country be went to Ohio Orat, and then to Indiana with his parents, and wben ho was old enough to cut a slice of bread straight he was given a position at the pie counter of a lunch room at the Indianapolis station. It was only a question of time until he was mana ger of tbe restaurant and he was mix ing In the politics of bis ward. He was popular with the traveling public, and that Is how he came to be backed as the proprietor of a small hotel near the Indianapolis depot He watched his business closely and became lnti- UMMER CAMP. mately acquainted with tbe traveling public. Their comfort was his aim lu life. Naturally, traveling men went that way. Taggart made money, and with more money be became more am bitious to get more. He espied the au- dltorshlp of Marlon County, with the Juicy $50,000 of fees each year. Marlon County, however, was hope lessly Ilepubllcan, and It had been since the death of Lincoln. Taggnrt set up his delegates, however, and at the convention the leaders were quite willing that he should try his hand. That was In 1880, and only thirty years had passed over his bead. Tag gart was nominated, and he set about In his vigorous way to get elected, ne worked among tbe young men and en listed them In bis cause. A great many poked fun at the young man for his temerity, but he got the $50,000 Job for four years, and as a matter of fact ho overthrew precedent and took It for another four years. Taggart's first election as County Auditor gave him prestige and he was made chairman of the Democratic County Committee In 18S8. It was In keeping with Taggart's nnture that he should aspire to be Mayor of Indian apolis He secured tbe nomination aud was elected. That was the year after he gave up the office of Auditor 1895. lie bad become a member of the Dem ocratic National Committee and was a Bryantte. McKlnley whipped Bryan by fully C000 votes In Indianapolis, but Taggart displayed his remarkable strength and popularity by whipping his opponent for re-election for Mayor by 4,000 votes.
