It appears that there are three drivers on this line - Matvey, who is always very drunk indeed Ivan, who is always rather drunk and some times highly intoxicated; and Yegor, who has been. Known to be sober. I have not seen the man who saw Yegor sober; but it is confidently asserted that he has been observed in this unusual condition, and that he is rarely more than half drunk.

Excerpt from Long Sweetening: A Romance of the Red Woods There, where a primeval forest of giant redwoods stood rooted in the moss and mold of centuries, the day-long twilight was deepening into dusk, and the solemn stillness was broken only by the play of a hidden brook, murmuring and gurgling under cano pies of yew, laurel and fern. Faithfully following its meanderings was an old wood road, so choked with laurel, and hazel, and huckleberry brush that only a slender trail remained to mark its course.

Excerpt from Out of the Woods: A Romance of Camp Life Robert Ferris lounged on the window seat of this quarters at the C Club finishing his after-dinner cigar, and watched the moon as it rose over Lake Michigan, giving a touch of picturesqueness to Chicago's most unattractive harbor. He was perplexed, and the cause lay in the telegram and the letter which he held in his hand. The telegram, which was from the manager of the Gloria mine, stated that the feeling among the strikers was hourly growing more serious, and urged him to come at once. The letter was from his oldest friend, Captain Philip Vinton, a retired naval officer, saying that on the next day he would reach Chicago, where he was to join a party of friends for a month's outing in the woods of northern Michigan. Ferris's father, Edward Ferris, also a naval officer, had been killed in the early part of our civil war by the bursting of a cannon.

Excerpt from The Lovers of the Woods An idle vacation is not the best rest for the body or for the mind. It is a poor diversion, this turning from a full life to an empty one, and there is little rest in it. That which is known to some engineers as the fatigue of metals, a supposed loss of strength due to often-re peated small Strains no one of which is a break ing strain, is not cured by a disuse of the metal. An outing needs an occupation, a Change of work. It need not be strenuous, but it should be a subject for diverting thought and reading during the winter; one that makes the vacation longed for; that Strengthens the muscles by use.

The blood of a lad Sings sharpest in the early morning; the air tingles, the light thrills, all the great day is to come.
