| HAVE PURPOSE IN WALKING
: Noted American Authors Gather Ideas
While on Pedestrian Tours Over
the Country Roads.
The other day in a little literary
gathering upstairs over a bookstore in
San Francisco, Bailey Millard writes in
San Francisco Bulletin, I heard one
more or less famous California author
say to another:
“1 hear you have bought an automo
bile. I suppose that’s the end of those
celebrated walks of yours.”
“Not at all,” was the reply of the
writer addressed. “It only extends
them.”
"How’s that?"
"Well, I have had my machine more
than six months. I find that an auto
mobile is a fine thing to take you to
some place like the Marin hills, where
you can go and get a good walk.”
Writers as a rule are walkers. They
do not necessarily walk because they
write, nor do they write because they
walk; but almost any of them will
tell you that walking, even nlong a
dull street in town, is inspirational. It
would seem as if a writer’s legs, mov
ing steadily and rhythmically, pump
out of Ills inner consciousness ideas
that eventually get upon the printed
page.
Lean as a grayhound and brrfwn ns
a berry, Julian Hawthorne was walk
ing nlong a country road near Poe's
old home In Fordhnm. I happened to
be accompanying him, but was saying
very little, for the son of the famous
Nathaniel seemed to be in what our
good old bromides coll a “brown
study.”
Of a sudden he left my side and
darted up a bypath through the
woods, springing up the hillside
like a deer. After a few' minutes he
came tearing down ngain, apologizing
for his sudden freak by saying:
“I saw a half-formed idea floating
about and thought I would chase It
down. It was a mythical Idea and a
tough one. I have it now and I’m go
ing to put it Into a story."
Henry Lewis and David Graham
Phillips, two authors with whom I was
veil acquainted during the latter years
of their lives, both took long walks
nearly every day nnd often I aecom- j
panled them. While they walked they ,
talked and In the case of Phillips It ;
was wonderful talk. In New York j
city we used to walk from the Players’
chib in Gramercy park, not far from i
Phillips’ home, to Nineteenth street \
nnd to Forty-second street and back ;
again, always along dingy old Fourth
avenue. Sometimes we would tramp
along as far as Fifty-ninth street and
then over the Central park paths.
Phillips told me that but for his
walks he never would have been able
to write his novels.
Britain Fighting Rats.
In England, where the scarcity of
food during the war was a much more
serious matter than In this country,
they have been giving much more at
tention to measures to prevent the
depredations of rats, and a concrete
corn crib is coming Into general use
throughout great Britain, which will
keep the grain In good condition and
at the same time keep the rats out.
The interior of the crib is built of
concrete blocks with holes In them for
ventilation of the building. The floor
is of solid concrete, and on the sides
where the blocks have openings the
Inside of the structure is covered with
mesh. The trench in the center of the
floor is built so that the extension
feeder of the corn sheller can be
placed In It when shelling out the crib.
Short pieces of board are laid over
this trench, and are removed as fast
as the corn can be shelled. This
trench Is a labor-saving feature of
this corn crib. It has been found by
the modern farmer that concrete is
the only effective way of fighting rats.
Balzac’s Home Is Restored.
The home of the famous French
author, Honore de Balzac, In the Hue
Knynouard at Fussy has been reopened
us an artists’ center. The house had
bet n sadly neglected, but hns been re
stored to present the appearance it
had In Balzac's time, with its vestibule
painted blue and the original oak carv
ings and dark red tapestries decorating
tin- apartment where Balzac wrote his
masterpieces.
On the table stands the ldg china
coffee-pot from which the author was
wont to refresh himself, for Balzac
was a mighty drinker of coffee. Old
woodcuts and original printing proofs
adorn the walls. In the garden the
vine that Balzac tended still grows and
his beloved lilacs have been replanted
there.
In one room there is still the trap
door through which Balzac used to dis
appear when Importunate creditors
called.
Matters of Importance.
“Young woman, I have waited here
three-quarters of an hour to see Mr.
Wadson. How much longer will I
have to wait?"
“I can’t tell you, sir. He’s very
busy."
“Won’t you mind finding out?"
“Indeed I would, sir. Mr. Wadson
Is chairman of the grounds committee
at the country club. He and the
other members of the committee are
discussing plans for improving the golf
links. I wouldn’t dare to Interrupt
him npw If a million dollars were at
stake.”—Birmingham Age-IIerald.
Politics and Statesmanship.
“A politician is a statesman out of
a Job," remarked the superficial cynic.
"Not these days," rejoined Senator
Sorghum. “A politician is a states
man who is willing to get down to
shirtsleeves and hustle for what he
regards as his country’s best Intercut."

REVEAL WINDS OF POETS1
Nomenclatures of Serbian Cities and
Villages Show Character of Peo
ple In Striking Manner.
The names of the villages in which
our many friends lived and from which
they often walked 20 miles or more to
be of use to us I get down in my notes,
partly because the words, In and of
themselves, are pictorial and atmos
pheric and partly because their mean
ing reveals the essential, natural
poetry of the Serbian mind. A few
of the most striking ones may appro
priately bring this chapter of Serbian
helpfulness to a close, Caryl 15. Storrs
writes In Minneapolis Tribune.
Monastlr (lie metropolis of southern
Serbia means “the city of monks.”
Krcmljanl where our camp was lo
cated means "dwellers among quartz
ite" from the qunntlos of quartzite
rock In the vicinity. The Slavic root
of the word Kremljnni, by the way, Is
the same used in the name of the
Kremlin at Moscow.
Other village names with their mean
ings are: Livonia, a proper name, sig
nifying a huge, virile fellow; Krusho
grad, a limestone castle; Erode, the
ferry over a river; Doh^oveni, people
living in fertile meadow lands; Vrbena,
the village of willows; Skoclvir, the
village of cascades; Vodena, water
city; Lazac (Lozshatz), the sloping
mountain meadow cleared from forest;
Gornlchevo, the village in the mountain
divide; Rosno, the new village; Sa
kuljevo, the village beyond the tower;
Bach, the village down In the kettle;
Vostaran, the village of fruit; Zha
bljani, the village of frogs; Kravarl,
the village of cowherders; Sorovlch,
the village of sleet; Dragosh, beloved
village; Bistrlca, clear mountain tor
rent ; Bukri, the village on a water
course; Opticharl, the dwellers among
many birds; Konjarka, creek that must
be forded on horesback; Sokol, moun
tain village, where only falcons can
live; Cuke, village along the range Of
buttes; Kalanlk, village of mud{
Ljaskoviki, dwellers among hazelnuts.
LANDOR HAD PROPHETIC EYE
Brilliant Englishman Correctly Fore
saw Dire Events of Which He Vain
ly Warned His Countrymen.
The pamphlet to Lord Liverpool and
the British parliament, Witten by Wal
ter Savage Landor in ISIS, of which
two copies only are known to exist,
makes highly spirited rending. In it
he sets out, with keen concern and
much energy of indignation, to criti
cize the magnanimity with which Eu
rope, and more especially England,
showed themselves Inclined to treat
Napoleon after the battle of Leipslc,
Napoleon whom Landor regarded as a
criminal, fit only for the gallows. Of
Elba, he declared prophetically that It
was “a rat trap open at both ends, from
which It was Impossible that Napoleon
should not escape.” Was the congress
of Vienna, he asked in bitter scorn,
with Its ‘‘well-dressed ambassadors
and Ingenuous state papers,” to pro
duce nothing more lasting than an
other treaty of Utrecht? Ho called in
vain for the temper of Lord Chatham
which should deliver the country from
a mere ‘‘experimental peace.” With
in a year of Napoleon’s banishment to
the “rat trap open at both ends." he
was back in France, and Europe was
once more plunged into war.
Laugh Reveals Much.
There is the man who is always smil
ing, whose whole person radintes af
fection and good cheer, nis is the
frank, open countenance that makes
and keeps friends, for he has the true
spirit of good-fellowship.
He is the man whom you enjoy going
to with good news, and of whose sym
pathy you can he sure when you are
in trouble. He is the friend, always,
that everyone admires, trusts and
likes. Just because he has the smile
that spells warmth.
A laugh is a little thing, and appar
ently to judge a man by his laugh
seems like making a mountain out of
a molehill. But “straws show which
way the wind blows,” and psycholo
gists assert that the little things are
the real indices to character. So watch
out when your friends laugh, and see
if they are worth while.—RehobotJi
Sunday Herald.
Important National Parks.
Yellowstone national park was con
stituted by congress many years ago.
This public playground of tho whole
people, now an object of Interest to
every tourist who visits the West, in
cludes the famous geyser district of
the Yellowstone valley and hundreds
of other interesting phenomena and
beauties of nature. The park has an
area of 2,142,720 acres, making it by
far the largest as well as the first of
the national parks of the nation. Oth
er important national parks in tho
United States are the Yosemlte In
California, the Glacier in Montana, the
Mt. Rainier in Washington, the Sequoia
in California, the Crater lake in Ore
gon, the Wind Cave in South Dakota,
ftie Platt In Oklahoma and the Mesa
Verde In Colorado.
Hand Picked.
The young bride was enthusiastic
over her home anti its furniture. It
had cost exorbitant prices because it
was hand made. To agree with it site
demanded hand-made curtains, sheets,
etc-. Then came the end of the honey
moon and the settling dow-n to actual
living. One day the bride tripped to
market to buy her iirst chicken. "I
want a very good one,” she stipulated
to the butcher. “I don't care how
much It costs If it’s only hand picked.” j
