Glorious Devon ONE OF ENGLAND'S BEAUTY SPOTS Trtf £A3TLV/Y. LYrtMOUTH ■ It Is indeed surprising to find how unfamiliar the English are as a race with the beauties of their own coun try. How many of them spend their holidays on the continent in search of beautiful scenery, not knowing that within easy access they have scenery difficult to equal and practicaclly im possible to supersede. The glorious county of Devon is lit erally teeming with beauty spots, the climax being reached in the delightful little twin villages of Lynton and Lyn mouth, nestling between precipitous bills and ending in the gigantic rock bound cliffs which skirt this portion of the Bristol channel. Blackmore's romantic novel of "Lorna Doone” and Whyte-Melville’a "Katerfelto” have done much to make these beauty spots familiar to us, and those who travel to Lynton and Lynmouth via coach from Minehead can acquaint themselves with most of the points of interest with which the readers of these famous novels are familiar. leaving Minehead we pass varied and beautiful scenery till we arrive at the quaint little village of Porlock. where we pull up at the picturesque “Ship Inn." Two additional horses are here attached, for we have a very steep* climb of several hundred feet before we reach our next stopping place, and even with the six horses we now have the ascent Is none too easy. Behind us we see gradually dis uppearing the exquisite vale of Por lock. on the right are the gleaming waters of the Bristol channel, whilst on the left we obtain glorious views of hill and moorland. At Yearnoor Moor the horses are changed, and' the rest of our journey through Somerset past County Gate Into Devon is indeed one of the love liest. On our right we still have the Bristol channel, and on our left breezy Exmoor, and If we have selected a line day for our Journey we experi ence an indescribable feeling of ex hilaration us we inhale the pure air of the moors and enjoy the beauties of bills and coombes surely un equaled elsewhere. If we have chosen the autumn for our visit, we revel In a wealth of glo rious color tiiat is indescribable; mile after mile of purple heather Inter mixed with brilliant golden gorse, and a glimpse of Exmoor under these con ditions Is never to be forgotten, whilst If fortunate wo may catch a glimpse of the red deer for which the district is so famous. Alter a glorious ride of about twenty miles we reach Countes bury Foreland, and we now commence our descent into Lynmouth. On our left are towering hills, whilst on our right is a sheer drop into the sea of several hundred feet, and we hold our breath as the coach gradually de scends the steepest hl’l in England, till the rushing waters of the Lyn re mind us that we are rapidly nearing our destination. The coach stops at the Lynbrldge hotel, where visitors to Lynmouth alight, and one and all agree that the latter part of the Jour ney has left an Impression that noth ing will ever efface. The coach is now lightened of much of its luggage, and the horses start on their arduous climb to Lyn ton, several hundred feet above, and here again the Impression created is most profound. And now for a few words about these exquisite villages immortalized by Shelley, Southey and others of our poets, and eulogized by Gainsborough among famous painters. Nestling between gigantic hills Is tho tiny village of Lynmouth. its one street skirted by the East Lyn, whose waters rush and tumble over the rocks In their haste to reach the sea, and here stretched before us is a scene of loveliness. On our right reaching far out to sea In the gigantic headland of Countes bury Foreland, whilst on our left are stupendous clifTa cohered with brll lmntly-hued flowers or wooded almor.t to the water's edge. If we retrace our steps and follow the course of the Lyn, In a few mo ■ — 1 CA3TJLE HOCK .LYHTO/f mentß we find ourselves in a scene of beauty, and we can wander along the banks for several miles lost in won- j derment at the glories opening out ’ before us. Below Is a ravine down the center of which Is a rushing stream, the bed of which is strewn with huge rocks, : round which the water whirls and . lashes itself into foam. On either side j are precipitous hills densely wooded, i and we here and there obtain a glimpse of banks of gigantic foxgloves and other wild flowers, whilst near the water’s edge are ferns in bewildering J variety, some of which are almost 1 tropical, reaching a height of nearly six feet A walk of about two miles brings us to the famous “Watersmeet,” where the Coombe Water Joins the Brendon Water in a succession of beautiful falls, and the grandeur and manifold j beauties of the scenery at this point may tempt us to remain here till we are ready to resume our journey back to Lynmouth. Should, however, we decide to pro ceed, we can follow the Brendon Wa ter for another four or five miles through scenery momentarily growing more beautiful until we at length reach Doone valley, where we can ex pore many of the points of interest referred to in Blackmore's novel, in cluding the famous Watersllde, and the tiny church at Oare, in which Lorna and Jan Kidd were married. There are two or three routes by which we can wend our way home wards, each equally beautiful, but as we are probably tired, we may find it advisable to charter one of the car riages which ply for hire near the en trance of the Doone valley. A tiny cliff railway for a small cost will take us from Lynmouth Into Lyn ton near the North walk, probably the finest coast walk in the kingdom. Cut in the face of the cliff between six and seven hundred feet high with jagged masses of rock towering above us for another two or three hundred feet, we have a scene of superb grandeur, and after a walk of about a mile find our selves by Castle rock, and at the en trance of the famous Valley of Rocks. Days and weeks fly quickly by In exploring the beauties of this roman tic little spot. Lee Bay And Woody Bay are within easy distance and their delightful glens, coombes and rushing streams, beyond which is the steep gorge of Heddons Mouth, whilst coach rides to Ilfracombe, boat trips to Clovelly, and the toy railway to Barn staple give us the opportunity of fa miliarizing ourselves with beauties of which all Englishmen should be proud.

A Case for Sympathy. Two matrons of a certain western city, whose respective matrimonial ventures did not in the first instance prove altogether satisfactory, met at a woman’s club one day, when the first matron remarked: “Hattie, I met your ‘ex,’ dear old Tom, the day before yesterday. We talked much of you.” “Is that so?” asked the other ma tron. “Did he seem sorry when you told him of my second marriage?" “Indeed, he did; and said so most frankly!” “Honest?” “Honest! He said he was extremely sorry, though, he added, he didn’t know the man personally."—Lippin cott’s Magazine. No Need of Interference. The two neighbors who were pass ing the little cottage heard sounds as of a terrific conflict inside and stopped to listen. Presently they heard a loud thump, as if somebody had fallen to the floor. “Grogan is beating his wife again!” they said. Bursting the door open, they rushed into the house. “What’s the trouble here?” they de manded. “Ther’ ain’t no trouble, gentlemen,” calmly answered Mrs. Grogan, who had her husband down and was sit ting on his head, “Gwan!" Exchanging Solemn Thoughts. “Ah, says the man with the parted whiskers, "when one stands alone in the night and contemplates the won ders of creation, how futile, how puny man seems! How vain, how puerile his hopes and longings, when he is surrounded by the eternal silence of the universe! Has this ever occurred to you?” "You bet!” answers the man with the big scarf pin. "He feels just as punk as he does when he misses the owl car and has to stand on the cor ner an hour for another one.” —Chi- cago Post. HOME TESTING A Sure and Easy Test on Coffee. To decide the all Important ques tlon of coffee, whether or not it Is really the bidden cause of physical ails and approaching fixed diseases, one should make a teat of ten days by leaving off coffee entirely and using well-made Postum. If relief follows you may know to a certainty that coffee has been your vicious enemy. Of course you can take it back to your heart again, if you like to keep sick. A lady says: "I had suffered with stomach trouble, nervousness and ter rible sick headaches ever since I was a little child, for my people were al ways great coffee drinkers and let us children have all we wanted. I got so 1 thought I could not live without coffee, but I would not acknowledge that It caused my suffering. "Then I read so many articles about Postum that I decided to give it a fair trial. I had not used it two ’▼eeks in place of coffee until I began to feel like a different person. The headache and nervousness disappeared and whereas I used to be sick two or three days out of a week while drinking cof fee I am now well and strong and sturdy seven days a week, thanks to Postum. "I had been using Postum three months and had never been sick a day when I thought I would experi ment and see if it really was coffee that caused the trouble, so I began to drink coffee again and inside of a week I had a sick spell. I was so ill I was soon convinced that coffee was the cause of all my misery and I went back to Postum with the result that I was soon well and strong again and determined to stick to Postum and leave coffee alone in the future."

Flathead in Montana, Coeur d’Alene In Idaho, and Spokane in Washing* ton—Actual Entry Not to Be Made Until Next Year. Spokane, Wash.—Uncle Sam h about to throw open for settlement something like 750,000 acres of choice land lying in three Indian reserva tions in the northwest. These lands are in the Flathead reservation in Montana, the Corur d'Alene in Ida ho. and the Spot ane reservation in Washington. The time for registering for lands in these reservations is set for July 15 to August 5, but the actual entry will not be made until April 1, 1910. The Flathead Indian reservation is located in western Montana, midway between Kalispell on the north and Clark Fork river on the south. It is bounded on the east, west and south by mountain ranges, and on the north by a line ten miles south of the forty-eighth parallel of latitude. It is 60 miles long and 40 miles wide, containing 1,425,000 acres. The available lands in the Flathead reservation consist of about 450,000 acres of unreserved and non-mineral lands, classified as first and second class agricultural aud grazing lands. The land of the Flatheads is a re gion of noble mountains, fertile val leys and splendid forests. The moun tains are mostly covered with timber, while the valleys and foothills are gen erally prairie land. The Pend d’Oreille river, one of the headwaters of the Columbia, flows through the center of the reservation, draining the largest body of fresh water in the west. Flat head lake, the southern half of which lies within the reservation. The Coeur ‘dAlene and Spokane In dian reservations are located in what is known as the inland empire, a term used to define the territory embraced within eastern Washington, northeast- A Belle of the Spokane Indian Reser vation. ern Oregon, northern Idaho and west ern Montana lying in the Columbia river basin between the Cascade range on the west and the llocky mountains on the east. There are about 200,000 acres of land in the Coeur d’Alene reserva tion which is now being classified as agricutural and timber land. This reservation is said to contain some very fine agricultural land. Lake Coeur d’Alene is a beautiful body of water about 25 miles in length, about one-third of which lies within the reservation. At the north end of the the registration point for the lands in this reservation. Lake Coeur d’Alene is becoming very popular as a sum mer resort. Good fishing is to be had and there are splendid bathing beaches and opportunities for canoeing and sailing. The Spokane Indian reservation oc cupies the southern part of Stnvens county, Washington. It is bordered on the south by the Spokane river, on the east by Chamokqne creek and on the west by the Columbia river. The reservation contains about 165,000 acres of land which is now being classified and appraised. There is some timber land in this- reservation, but it is not subject to entry. The Indians on the Spokane reser vation are generally intelligent and peaceable and all are self-supporting. In character they are as far above the vagabond Siwashes who frequent the alleys and backdoors of thu city as the white farmers are above the common hoboes. Chief Joseph, head of the once powerful Nez Perce tribe, who gave Gen. O. O. Howard his hard est fight in frontier days, lived there several years after his banishment from the Snake river country. He was the most intelligent Indian of his time and his death was deplored by the whites and reds alike. Antoine Shelea is the sole supvlvor of the old chieftains. He lives in the Antoine valley, near the Okanogan river. In the early days there was only one great chief, but before his death he appointed three, one of whom is old Antoine, who is head of the tribe. Most of the Indians live in houses and cultivate small farms, while the squaws busy them&elves with basket making aud beadwork, at which they are adepts. They like to visit and they are never too busy to feast and talk of the days that were and of those to come. « Organize a Local Telephone System Just think what a Telephone System would ive you —all your neighbors at your call —your octor —your veterinarian —postoffice —depot No matter how far from the nearest Telephone Company, your community can ave its own local service at a very low cost f maintenance. / wsfer/i fkcfric / Rural Telephones / ar* in use in thousands of communities.
