As one New York boy, who joined the conservation army in Wash- ington after tramping Capital meem in a vain search for work, expressed it. “Gee, ain't these trees wonderful. l have never saw so many of them.in my life before. Where I was raised in N'Yawk they don’t have trees like this. Oh, boy! Am I glad to be here? m |say T am." Another city-bred boy, who has spent most of his later years as a seaman on tramp steamers between New York overawed by the mountains above the camp. *'Shucks,” nld he, “they can't com- pare with the Alps.” He had seen the Alps from his ship, the mountains.

I crossed the Continent féur times and been in jail in about every State in the Union.” “‘You mean you were arrested?” some one asked. “Ob, arrested some; just looking for a place to sleep usuaily. “You know, the best meal I ever had before I hit this place was in TUESDAY, and Alexandria, Egypt, was glad to be!
