I can wrap myself up in my blanketing musings, and sleep in my cotlinlike berth, As safe aDdas lulled as men that sleep in the still embrace of the earth, Untroubled bv anything outward, at peace with the powers of sleep and of time, And crooned by the unrelenting beat of the changeless motion's rhyme. My thoughts are in tune with the rocking; the rumble, the jolting, the rattle and roar Are sweet to my ears as the beat of the surf on the rocks of a far off shore : They melt into gentle and quieting music, an even, monotonous tune That suits with the blue and silver hues of the ligbt and dark of the moon. I am cool, and my mind is at rest, although I know that a little ahead The water boils and the steam recoils from a flaming rosy bed. My thoughts are deep in the toils of sleep, and my senses hardly mark The ceaseless Hail of the glowing hail, whose every grain is a spark. The tug and the thunder, the plunging of wheels that are driven with nerves of steam And tendons of steel are blurred and dulled to a hum like bees in a dream ; All the noises are cradle songs to me and lulla bies that please, As we hurtle onward through heat or rain, through the hosts of the startled trees. II. My home is afar in the mountains away from the cities and mines; It nestles among the sheltering ranks of the up land pines: But I am not at peace forever my quiet is seamed and scarred By the dazing noise and motion, wherewith all of the world is marred. I am dizzy and sick and faint with the hurry and the din. And my mattress rocks with the shake of the earth in its ceaseless spin. My coolness is full of the reeking of smoke from the flames of the sun. My rest is rent with the haste of a dash that will never be done. I feel the shackles that link the earth to the sun in its flight. Jerking their bolt heads out in the breathing times of the night. The storms of flame in the sun that drive it on into space Are terrible to my thought as the glare of hell in my face. The whistle and whirr of the flakes of the burnt up worlds of old, That have been fuel to drive such a cage as has us in hold, As they thrasU our flanks in our flight, are shrill and harsh in my ears; I see their trails in the night with meteor dreads and fears, And all of my senses shrink from this haste that jingles and jars As we drive on our meaningless rush through tbe host s of the frightened stars. Edward Lucas White, in Ndw York Sun. A FITTING TRIBUTE INEUUKST- occupies an important place in the special winter resort num ber of The New lork Herald, both in text and illustration, the descrip tion of the Village being one of the most concise, accurate and just tributes that have been accorded this now world-famous resort. The article in full is as follows : Pinehursts well established popularity is largely due to its supurb fall, winter and spring climate, the exceptional ad vantages it offers for the enjoyment of sports and pleasures out of doors and a complete and perfect equipment right conditions for living in every sense of the word. It is unique in that it possesses all of the best features of the typical New Eng land village after which it is modelled, and in this particular, as in many others, its like is not to be found in the South land. Everybody here comes to be out of doors, and those who seek rest, recreation or health thus range all the way from those who enjoy a sun bath on the veran da, a walk or drive through the quaint countryside or a quiet game of croquet to the large majority who crave the more strenuous life, as exemplified by golf, tennis, riding and hunting. Trap and pistol shooting, bowling and baseball, cross country riding and gym khana frolics all claim their devotees, and one also finds the bird lover and botanist, the geologist and the naturalist, all in tent upon a common purpose pleasant occupation in the open air. Conspicuous among the sports here is golf. Two excellent courses are main tained, one of the eighteen and another of nine holes, and two tournaments of national importance are held annually, the midwinter tournament in January and the United North and South Cham pionship in April. Shooting preserves, covering 35,000 acres, are maintained in connection with the village, and the kennels are among the finest in the country, liiding is a most popular pastime, and the stable equipment is the equal of any in the country. With four strictly modern hotels, several desirable boarding 'houses and half a hundred family cottages accommo dations at a varying range of prices, which may be adapted to almost any size pocketbook, are offered. Of the hotels The Carolina is the largest in the State and one of the best appointed in the South, calculated to meet the require ments of the most exacting, the rates ranging from $4.00 a day upward. The Holly Inn enjoys general popular ity, appealing to those who desire the more quiet life, with rates ranging from $3. a day upward, and the rates at the Berkshire and the Harvard are $2.50 a day and upward. The rates' at the board ing houses range from $10 a week up ward. Cottage life is claiming an increasing number of friends each year now that the management has decided to sell land within the limit of the village, and several private homes will be built here during the present season, the first of which to be occupied by W. C. Peet, of Warwick, N. Y., being nearly complete. Cottage rents range from $150 and $200 to $1,000 for the six months' season, October to May and apartments of two and three rooms adapted for light housekeeping may be obtained at from $100 to $200 for the season. In a word, one may live as cheaply here in this way as in the North, and marketing may be done as economically as in New York, with almost as large a selection to choose from, in addition to which will be found many Southern delicacies, such a game, fruit, fish, etc. Easy of access being but eighteen hours from New York, practically on the main line of the Seaboard Air Line and Southern railways, with through Pull mans direct to the village during the season Pinehurst claims a large share of attention from residents of New York and vicinity and the intervening terri tory between the metropolis and Wash ington. Located midway between the far North and the extreme South, it claims many Florida tourists both going and coming. The round trip fare from New York is $25.40. The winter climate may be likened to the sort of weather one may count upon in New York during the best part of late October and early November, with glori ous sunshine and crisp, pure, invigorating air as its characteristics. Government statistics show, that no section of the country is blessed with such a large per centage of sunshiny days. In fact, Pinehurst occupies a position among winter resorts similar to the sum mer resorts, providing pleasurable recre ation for the many who desire to seek a milder climate during the winter months. It is the place to live a joyous out door life, and it appeals especially to those who have good red blood in their veins and a love for God's out of doors. WENT DEFEATS EAST.
