_WHAT THEY HAD LAID OUT FOR THEIR VACATION_
A man who had three weeks of Vacation coming to him began to get busy
with an Atlas about April 1st. He and his Wife figured that by keeping
on the Jump they could do Niagara, Thousand Islands, Atlantic City,
The Mammoth Cave and cover the Great Lakes.
On April 10th they decided to charter a House-Boat and float down the
Mississippi.
On April 20th he heard of a Cheap Excursion to California with a
stop-over Privilege at every Station and they began to read up on Salt
Lake and Yellowstone.
On May 1st she flashed a Prospectus of a Northern Lake Resort where
Boats and Minnows were free and Nature was ever smiling.
By May 10th he had drawn a Blue Pencil all over a Folder of the
Adirondack Region, and all the Hotel Rates were set down in his Pocket
Memorandum Book.

Ten days later she vetoed the Mountain Trip because she had got next
to a Nantucket Establishment where Family Board was $6 a Week, with
the use of a Horse.
On June 1st a Friend showed him how, by making two Changes and hiring
a Canoe, he could penetrate the Deep Woods, where the Foot of Man had
never Trod and the Black Bass came to the Surface and begged to be
taken out.
On June 15th he and Wifey packed up and did the annual Hike up to
Uncle Foster's Place in Brown County, where they ate with the Hired
Hand and had Greens three times a Day.
