From the Nearly every family plans a trip to the Mountains or some other watering resort for a few weeks during each summer, Kansas pecple generally think of the Rocky mountains. Sometimes they manage to go, but mere often they fail. However, it Is a pleasure to plan whether the trip Is made or not. But when the whole family wish to go, an? the family purse must be squeezed to exiract change to buy steak, then a trip to the mountains or to the seashore is not often to be thought of, much less carried into effect. With an invalid wife, three healthy children and thesemphatic state- ment of the family physician that the ust go to the mountains for a few if she expects to regain her health, na man do upon a limited income? was the question one Kansas mai imself, and solution of the dif. was novel. With a good team of of which he had several, he believed a drive from the eastern borders 5 to the foothills in three or four On arrival the horses could be turned out to graze and the family could enjoy a month's outing In the mountains as cheaply’as at home. After having talked the matier over with wife m weeks, his the man, who was skillful at handling tools, began the construction of what he termed “a summer house on wheels.” When completed it was a model of neatness, stout and yet light. I following the lines of: the ordinary rie schooner,” he constructed his convey after the fashion of a river house The body extended over the wheels ireular pla were left for the rear and small sections were cut away ‘ward corners to allow the front lenty of recm. The wagon was leng and the lower part of the work was boarded up with light he canvas top curved just encugh to shed the rain. Heavy canvas curtains were fastened at the edge of the roof and arranged so they could be but- tened down tightly in case of storm, or raised in fair weather. Within the wagon and ither side was placed a seat, reach- ing haif the length of the box, after the style of a caboose. Upon this the occu- pants could sit or recline at will. Directly over the rear wheels was a fold- ing bunk, and just forward of this a cur- tain hung from the top, dividing the “house” into two sleeping rooms. Heavy canvas formed the door at the rear of the wagon and pertable steps reached to the ground. A smail ofl stove furnished suf- anc wheels, frame pine lumber. ficient heat to warm the “house,” while aj camp stove was used to cook on. this odd vehicle, drawn by _ three s, passed through the little Kansas towns on fis way westward, it was re- surprise, interest and amuse- occupants enjoyed the atten- » their strange “house attract- “kodaker’’ approached the the family all smiled, even to the ar-old baby. tke a shot at us in nearly every said the owner.

But it will last several summers. I'll tell you, stranger, it makes a pretty nice summer house, and it is easy to move. We didn’t feel iike we could afford a trip unless we did something of this kind. But I've got to drive ten miles yet tonight. Good-bye.” 2 Russian Love of Display. Frow the London Times. A well-known Russian who was recently asked by a foreigner why so much fuss was being made ever the coronation of the czar, replied by simply reminding his inter- locntor that Russia had more than 10,000 miles of Astatic frontier. This Is the brief- «st way of accounting for the vast scale of splendor and in magntfice on which a Russia fs still performed. coronation It certainly partikes more of the east than the west, and !s perhaps calculated to impress accordingly. In other European countries the modern tendency !s rather to reduce the details of such_ ceremonies, while just the opposite tendency seenis still to prevail ir Russia. A glance at the records of pas: onacions in that country leads to the conclusion that the pomp and circumstances atten fi have not diminished with the advance of modern ideas, but rather increased. Not only do the rare coronation ceremenies of other countries pale before the religious inaugu- ration of a Russian caar, but there are other powerful monarchies at present in Europe, like Germany, for instance, where the reigning sovereign has never yet under- Kone a coronation, and does not appear to require one. In Russia, however, it ap- pears to be indispensable to the govern- ment and the nation. Their great love of display and purely eastern traditions may also be reckoned among the causes, but the machinery of government is not sup- pesed to get Into proper working order until after a new czar has been crowned, and it is only then, as a general rule, that the personal policy of the imperial autocrat becomes a known quantity, both to his own people and to the world at large.
