Show Page 10 ti ovember 13, 1933 MY JOURNEYS Dreams and beauty and thankfulness all journeys of happiness. To wrap oneself in a glorious cloak of make-believe. To stand silent and worshipping before an unexpected glimpse of nature taken unaware . . . and beautiful . . . To feel to the utmost depths a humbleness and joy at nch splendor! These are truly adventures! When friends are not always just what we would have them; when tasks arc wearisome and seemingly endless; when icauty seems extinguished "face half turned away" then is a time for dreams . . . Shining . . . Splendid . . . And clear. Their refuge is an unassailable haven of pcaccfulncss, a balm And an uplifter . . . Dear dreams . . . unending. But sometimes not always clearly the mind rejects these pleasing images and clamors for reality. The thing for the moment. The glowing towers grow dim. A shadowing twilight hovers over them and threatens to change them into the purple "of enveloping night. Then then one must open his eyes to the glories upon, around, and about him. Far, bine mountain, outlined shorply imperial sunsets, burning lavishly rushing winds that squander scents of hidden Tallcys. A crystal glass, the glinting of a window in the .tin, blue willoware, babies' softness, a shaken note of music, a sudden profile and eyes . . . Old tapestries, blue bowls, "one and all," the fragrance of rain, and the hushed silence of a star within the curving circle of the moon. These are hut a few . . . Poems . . . and hair shining in the sun. And through it all thankfulness . . . deep . , . sincere . . My journeys. MARJORIE WOOD. o The beauty of the old forest filled me with awe. Tucked nxvay In the tops of the mountains, miles from any sort of .-ivi'iicatioi., the spot seemed .-acred and set-apart. Undis-'. Ned hy man, for countless years the squirrels, chipmunks, birds and insects of the forest had lived and died. The "ilence was breath-taking. Spell-bound by the beauty and r iuliantmenl, I sat there a long time on my horse. I breathed in the fragrance of the pine trees and tried to convince myself that I was not dreaming. Suddenly a strange exhilaration swept over me. Leaping from my saddle, I ran and ran, finally dropping exhausted upon the soft pine needles. I felt inspired to sing, shout, cry, or pray. It was just the sort of place I had always dreamed of discovering. HELEN SMITH. o Man is the only animal that blushes or needs to. MARK TWAIN. Gordon W. "I passed by your house last night." Barbara B. "Thanks." THE SPORTSMAN'S CODE A real sportsman, when he goes out to match his skill with that of the wild game, always has in mind a code which he values and respects. It is by their adherence to this code that all sportsmen are measured. A good sportsman is not the fellow who always gets his limit of ducks and geese, or the man who always catches his limit of fish. A good sportsman doesn't destroy property; he docs all in his power to prevent destruction of wild plant life; he never hunts out of season; he is not greedy; he always remembers that other sportsmen like to hunt and fish as well as he. Bear in mind, sportsmen, that it is not the amount of game you bag, but the way you bag it. SETH TAYLOR. o LARKINS' PRIZE OFFER George W.
