But why should it, at the same time, give the cold shoulder to common sense and I have said, refuse to look be- nd own stubbed-off nose? That's what gets me. No, I'm not thinking of big things, * the world war or the next pres- dential election. I'm thinking of little, everyday matters; of ddily do- duals, of minor things. if to call them so.

Not one in ten ever went to the trouble of picking up’ the garbage and burying, burning or removing- it. The eampling parties, who pitched tents and spent the night, were even wérse, In addition to all that the picnickers did, they used to did out Holes for thefr fires, cut down saplings to secure room for their tents and supply firewood, and broadcast the floor of the grove with empty botties and jagged tins. No one of elther class ever thought of digging a latrine on ‘arrival and filling it up on departure. They didn't always put out thelr fires on leaving. The result has boen that for several Years this bit of naturally beautiful and attractive shore has become, by the end of the summer-time, a festering nulsance of decaying -garbage, of ragged stumps, of nauseous filth which not even the frosts and snows of winter and the cleansing rains of spring could quite re- store to mormal decency. It is no wonder to me that the own- er has now fenced the hogs out. The real wonder is that he didn't do it years ago. No, that isn't the real wonder, either. The real wonder is that these campers and picnickers, being two-legged animals, walking upright on their feet and sup posedly possessed of common sens ehouldn’t use that sense to protect their own future interests They didn't need to reach such a height of modernly im- possible altrusion as to consider the rights of the owner. All that was necessary was that they should think of their chances the next summer, either at the same place or at some other. They knew that they were using an- other man’s property, on his sufferance, by his tacit permission and through his kindliness. The very tfrst thought of a decent being, under such cfrcumstances, would be to show appreclation of ths | lberty Sranted by leaving the place in as good condition as he found it. The sécond thought of any being dowered with reasonable human foresight wegld be ‘that he might want to camp there agaln, some other summer, and that it was for’his own selfish adyantage = to keep the owner so good-natured that the privilege would be again accorded. But no: the majority showed by thelr conduct that-they were affected in no Whit either by any sense of gratitude for fayors granted, nor even by any sensi- ble selfish Jegard for themselves., They couldn’t put themselves in. the owner's place; they couldn't see beyond their OWn noses. So now they are passing by on the ‘ohtside of his barbed wire and looking “for some other less attracttive place to despoil and desecrate.
