THE UPLIFT OF THE MOUN- 

 TAINS 



EVERETT HALE, as 



the anecdote is told, was in Chicago, 

 walking along the lake-front with a West- 

 ern friend. The great lake was "working 

 up a storm," and, as the waves came rac- 

 ing in, the friend confidently said, "Quite 

 the same thing to you as your ocean at 

 home, isn't it, Doctor?" 



"No, not at all," was the instant 

 answer; "it is not big enough." 



"But," insisted the Westerner, "practi- 

 cally it must be about the same, for you 

 do not see the Michigan shore." 



"True," replied Dr. Hale, "I do not 

 see the other shore, but I know and feel 

 that it is just over there!"
