Southern stock is nearing its end. During the early spring the planting season throughout the South was delayed by gold weather, all crops were retarded, and in the central and northern States the season was earlier than usual. This has thrown tha seasons closer together than usual, and. in soma cases, lowered price*. The closeness of the seasons is indicated by the fact that Indianapolis has been receiving strawberries from seven outside States at me same time. In addition to those from southern In-

BY THE COUNTRY CONTRIBUTOR.

All the court has gone s Maying.

We took our first summer outing dur-

ing the earliest days of May. It is then that the beauty of the world manifests itself with an insistence, that is almost poignant. One looks timidly at the tender tracery of young leaves and treads softly upon the fresh green grass. If one be a Khayyam worshiper the Jeweled lines of the Rubaiyat course through ones’s mentkl being as the rejuvenated blood comes through the veins And if so be one has never found the spirit of spring so beautifully caught and emmeahed In words, one feels exactly the same thing but with-

out knowing it.

No words can describe the beauty of our Sugar Creek bills in early May. There was a hint of mist in the sunshine as we drove aloAg on our pious pilgrimage, for really one Can not avoid feeling religious on a bright May day, and this particular day was a Sunday, and the hush was abroad over the land. Our way lay between freshly plowed fields, bits of meadow and wood land, and homesteads, blessed homesteads, thickly dotted everywhere. People wero going to church, and they eyed our picnic outfit with some dis- ing. approval. But we, too, were going to a place of worship, a pantheistic temple in

the wilderness.

When I first see Sugar creek, after the long and dreary separation of the winter, my heart leaps as gayly as it did in childhood. Only a few things now cause that pleasant disturbance, so those that do are doubly welcome. We saw the hills

— „..„ge, and there was the stream, rippling and dimpling i, the warm sunshine, as seductive, as beautiful as ever. There were the great, gray, rooky banks and bluffs, with ferns and wood line and sweeping hemlock branches fringing the tops, and sycamores and other forest giants arching over the water. After we crossed the bridge and climbed the opposite hiil our road ran eluslvely through a wooded spot to a gate. What is charm there is to a gateway. There Is promise and welcome and invitation in the very sight of it. Though it was made to keep people out, it was also made to let them in. '

t • •

Our coming must have been heralded, fojr our progress after we passed the gate was a triumphal procession. Never in my life have I seen more beautiful flowers than those that bordered our path to the clubhouse, which was the mecca of this particular pilgrimage. Do you know the cyclamen or shooting-star, the Indian pink, the sweet William, the white trillium, the turmerick, the bluebell? Well, the hills were simply carpeted with them and no one that has not seen them set In all their native grace among dainty ferns and the thousand and one bits of delicate greenery that surround them can form any idea of their beauty. I believe that city people form unpleasant ideas of the country by waiting for their outing until heat and dust have destroyed the earlier verdure, and -flies and mosqultoee have arrived to torment poor humanity. At the time of our first day in the woods the foliage was not thick enough to conceal the birds and ws could see and hear them as we can not later In the summer. Redbirds, bluebirds, orioles,

vivid coloring. From the scarlet of the Indian pink reflected on the redblrd's coat, to the heavenly hue of the harebell, every imaginable shade was represented. Many of the young leaves are beautifully tinted. -The oak puts out in every shade of pink and rose, and one variety of hickory starts with several turned-back leaves like soft rose satin. This incloses the leaf bud. cone-shaped In the middle. Each of these buds on the end of.a branch looks like a handsome flower of some rare variety. The beauty of this foliage is last seen in the undergrowth which covers the hills. Many of the smaller trees- were In bloom—dogwood, redbud, wild plum and crab apple, and other trees that bear clusters of tiny green blossoms, beautifully marked in the

center with black and yellow.

There are several old stumps in the clubhouse yard, melancholy reminders of grand trees, once proud denizens of the place.

A family of friendly ilsards lives in a fallen tree quite near to thia sylvan din-ing-room, and they come to visit us, climbing up on the screens where they hang; shining iridescent in the sunlight and blinking solemnly at us. We have other neighbors- too. that are less pleasant. I went down the ravine below the house, lured by a bunch of yellow violets of which I wanted the roots, and there, quite close to the coveted violets, lay a large "spreading viper,” colled about a dove, which H had just succeeded in squeezing to death. I thought of the legend "As wise as a serpent—as harmless as a dove." and reflected that the wisdom of the serpent usually comes out ahead.

But this one looked so abominable and made such faces at me, Ucktng out Its tongue ajid acting in such an Inhospitable manner that I threw a stone at it, whereupon it puffed Its thick ugly neck at me and "blew” at me In a truly sickening fashion. I came away and left his snakeship (and the violets) in possession. I had Just been worshiping the flowers and birds, and as I came away from my encounter with the serpent I said to myself, "When the sons of God presented themselves Satan, came

also.”

We have a fashion of getting the roots of wild flowers and ferns and transplanting them in our yards at home, though they languish there and finally die of homesickness for the deep-hearted wood that gave them being. Still, when one goes to digging them, one seems to notice in their bright faces an eagerness to be chosen. Each graceful clump seems to say, “Take me! Take me!” until one is fairly confused to know where to stop. On this particular day our luck at finding things seemed phenomenal. There are many of the May flowers that one must dig while they are in bloom, as the leaf dies down later in the season, and one can not find the root. These we found until our baskets were filled to overflowing. Then we thought to go mushroomWe Marched all over the pasture without finding one, and, giving up the search, we struck afleld on an aimless to Mf of voyage and discovery. We crossed ewift, little Mill creek on a limber foot log that swayed perilously over the stream, and cUmbed about the hills, finding new varieties of fern and great banks of white trilllum looking like fair lilies, w L t , 1 }* the i^ turned-back petals of waxy white. Then we followed a seductive pathway along the bank, not knowing what we sought until inadvertently we stumbled on the cov-ted mushrooms, dosens of them, spri’/glng thick around

two immense stumps.

There is a strange pleasure in gatherIng mushrooms; it seen.s like finding fairy , ,. There ? s mystery in the thought that they spring up in a night, and one makes haste to gather them lest they vanish as ouiokly. Once out of their wooded home, however, they are substantial enough, and become actually prosaic (though delicious) when served with por-

terhouse steak.

LONDON, May 23,-Peace In South Africa is regarded as assured, but an official declaration to that effect is still lacking, and there is nothing official to Indicate when an announcement may be expected. Opinion is divided as to whether a statement on the situation will be Issued after the Cabinet meeting to-night or whether It will be reserved for the meeting of the House of Commons on Monday. It seems, however, that only the bases of the peace terms will be before the ministers, and that if they are accepted the discussion of the details may atm occupy some time, during which, presumabiv an armistice will be declared.

National Convention will Probably be Held at Indianapolis. WILKESBARRE, Pa., May 23.-A11 of the district leaders have gone to their homes and little was doing at the headquarters of the United Mine Workers today. The only persons here directly connected with the miners’ strike were National President Mitchell and Dietrict Presidents Nichols, Fahey and Duffy. Reports from the outlying districts were to the effect that a dead calm prevails everywhere. President Mitchell refuses to discuss the call for a national convention, which will probably meet in Indianapolis three weeks

hence.

In commenting upon a dispatch from Reading, in which it is stated that the movement of soft coal through that city to the bituminous regions of West Virginia and Pennsylvania Is unprecedented, President Mitchell said he felt that if such was the case he would, kno* It. President Mitchell will leave for Chicago to-morrow, where he will meet his relatives, and return immediately, stopping for a day at national headquarters at Indianapolis. He will be gone four

or five days.

Wilson Goes to Fairmount. W. B. Wilson, secretary and treasurer of the miners, left Indianapolis last night for Fairmount, W. Va., to attend a conference of the West Virginia miners and officials. The chances are that a strike will be ordered throughout the entire

West Virginia field.
