C. kV^i ? aAt>t>LtfcACK, liOUHTM K TO ANY person who has trav eled through the Berkshlres, that glorious ruugo of hills that stretches from Vermont across Massachusetts Into Connecticut, long famous lor their historical and literary associations, what a wealth of pleasurable emotions Is called up by the very name. The Berkshlres I The name stand* for scenic beauties to be found no where else; life-giving breezes; strolls to the homes <jff famous authorq and other historical figures; vast estates pf multimillionaires; scenes of battle with Indians; and, withal, glimpses of many vast Industrial plants, says the Boston perald. It means, too, that the person who Is familiar with books may conjure ui> Longfellow's "TJie Old Clock on the Stairs/' Or Beecher's "Star Pa pers;" or Holmes* "Elsie Venner," or the kindly faces of James Russell Low ell, Doctor Channing, Herman Mel ville, and many other literary men, who spent their summers among these hills and wrote many of their most famous books in this enchanted re gion. . Berkshire is the most western coun ty in Massachusetts, it touches three states'; Vermont on the north, New York on the west and Connecticut on the south. It is 60 miles long and con tains an area of about 950 square miles. The scenic delights of the Berkshlres, however, do not stop at the state boundary lines. They extend to the Hudson river valley in the em pire state, to the Greeh mountains of Vermont and the charming rolling country of western Connecticut. In the early days this entire re gion was the scene of struggle?>wlth the Indians; it did Its full part in the war of the American revolution, and it is today a country ot beautiful homes, and noted for its remarkable manufacturing development. Perfect Motor Roads. It Is covered wlfh a network of per{?ct automoblllng roads," so built that their grades are not difficult In traversing the most mountainous sec tions. Jacob's ladder and the well known Mohawk trail are the scenic route for the tourist by motor; there are trolley lines throughout the en tire region, and by-paths and trails for the pedestrian or the horseman, all of which offer a great variety of pleasures. * Plttsfleld and North Adams are cen ters from which to start if it la the in-, tention to make a tour of the Berk- : shires, although one may leave from almost any point and And no difficulty ! in reaching a destination. There is ? one trolley line, beginning at Canaan, . Conn., that traverses the entire region, passing through twenty cities and j towns in four different states. The tour from Plttsfleld to Great Harrington, or further on to Canaan,' is delightful. In Plttsfleld one may j see the site of the meeting house over j which ^Fighting Parson Allen" pre sided when he led the men of Berk shire to the battle of Bennington. It was in Plttsfleld that the first agricul tural fair in America was held; and here General Lafayette was coyally entertained on his farewell visit to Amerjes.- -In. Plttsfleld, too,. Is the 'house known to every reader of Long fellow, that of his fatj?er-ln-law, in which stood <The old clock on the stslrs.*-?- T?-??~r~? On the road to Leno^t is the house occupied by O^ver Wendell Holmes, with its fa in ou 8 "Holmes' pine," un der which the poet often wjrote, A little further on Is "Arrowhead," the home of the late Herman Melville, where the Ipdlans used to rendezvous. Near hero are the Canoe meadow* on :'the Hbusatonic, where the Indians moored their canoes when visiting the burial places <fc their ancestors. On every hand are the beautiful summer estates of those who naye inherited or acquired great riches. Up and Over Jacob's -Ladder. Lee presents many points of inter est. Hero is the mill In which was made the first wood pulp paper ever ' used in America; here is the marble qtfkrry, now abandoned, from which was taken the stone used in the erec tion of the two. "wings of theliatlonal capitol at Washington. From other quarries here were taken 2SOjOOO head stones purchased by the government to mark the graves of its soldier dead. Lee was the scene of one of the num erous skirmishes of Shay's rebellion, and is a very attractive village. From Lee.the motorist may enter the popular Jacob's Ladder route te Springfield end the East, a route that formerly wus a terror to every uriver because of Its steep grades and Its ruts aud rain-gouged holes. Now It is a line new highway, as fine as any mountain htghway In Europe, and crosses the backbone of the Hoosac range. In the olden days Its formida ble hill, with a grade of 22 per cent on one side and 17 per c^nt on the oth^r, offered many difficulties to even the most powerful automobile. ?JJow, however, through the expen diture of $400,000 by the state, this hill is avoided by a sweeping semicir cle at low grade. It Is a beautiful road, with a shallow stream rippling over stones and pebbles, and deep pools picturing the tree-covered slopes of the hills. It skirts broad ponds, passes over concrete bridges, crosses "divides," winds through forests and along the sides of deep gorges, and is continually bringing into view new s<^nlc delights. Where Qrover Cleveland PilhML From Lee, too, It is easy to reach tb?j Tyringham valley, one of the mopt beautiful of the many valleys In the Berkshlres. It was the summer home of Richard Watson Glider, and where Grover Cleveland spent many a sum mer In the enjoyment of the troat and pickerel fishing which thla re gion affords. There is a tradition that Tyringham was the place where the white man first learned the manufac ture of maple sugar, being Initiated Into the secret by the Indians. If one wishes to visit wild country go to Bear-Town mountain. It was famous at one time as the residence of Levi Beebe, the weather prophet, And here also lived Colonel Jackson, the Revolutionary soldier who wrote the articles of capitulation at Sara toga and at Yorktown which were signed by Burgoyne and Cornwallis. To Stockbridge Is a pleasant drive and an interesting one, for here may be seen the "Ice Glen," In which there is a deposit of ice the year round; also Laurel hill, upon which the first village improvement society was es tablished. Stockbridge was where the first industrial school In America was started; where Jonathan Edwards preached and wrote his "Freedom of Will"; where Cyrus W. Field lived when he planned the Atlantic cable, and where David Du<flc^ Field, the jurist, and Supreme Court Justice Field lived. It contains a monument the like of which is to be found nowhere in Amer* lea?a monument erected by white men in honor of the red men. Stand ing on the heights which are crowned by this monument a beautiful view of the Housatonic river Is obtained, as it winds among the- meadows of Stock bridge. GOOD HUMOR IS CONTAGIOUS Petty Vexation* of the Day Disap pear Quickly If Met With ii Smile or ? Laugh. "Nothing In the world Is so con tagious as good humor." It may cost a little effort to keep oneself good-humored In the midst of all the petty Vexations that occur dally, hut If one has the hahlt of making light of these trifling annoyances, half of them will disappear. The annoyance will be hut for a moment and cleared up with a smile or a laugh. Permit ting these small vexations to take hold of your spirits Is a mistake, says the Milwaukee Journal. They wear out nerve and temper and bring permanent frowns to the face. They Impair good health. Ttoey unfit one for present du ties which must be performed in a cheerful, genial fframe of mind. Work done In a resentful spirit never reaches perfection. It misses the finer per sonal touches, which one gives When In hearty, tree, genial humor. (Jiving way to vexation takes from courage and self-confidence, and this Is evidfat in one's work. Then m?ke an effort to keep cheerful, whatever tire little~ aggravations may be. The more you al low yourself to be disturbed by trifles, the greater they will appear to you and the more of them will possess you. "Those who mqke us laugh are great" If you try toseem happy you help yourself to become so. Fellowship and Service. Fellowship with Christ must ante* date service for Christ. Oar friend ship with the Master Is the secret of oar activity for the Master. To know this atmosphere of personal commun ion with him Is the highest culture of which the soul Is capable.?Donald Mackay. A SAD ACOtDENT Young Mmi Ills Life in Sumter Swimming Pool.

We certainly think so, as we have been advertis ing in this paper and have advertised Larro Cow Feed "The Dairyman's Friend" and Arab Horse Feed. These feeds are feeds of merit, but Without the advertise ment we feel sure we could not have built up the large business on these two feeds alone.
