but did not like it bit to hear that
mother had a baby, because it was boy.

TO have pretty names Boys are squeallng
ali the time. You don't have one min
ute's peace while there is boy baby IN
the house; but girl baby is a good thing
to have in the house, for it never cries;
Name him Yuba Dam; that's good
enough for boy. You must excuse me
for writing so much about boys; the
reason write so much about boys is be-
cause don't like boys My love to ma,

was posted, and rearing up, his fore feet
resting on large log, he hesitated while
he snuffed the danger ahead. The teach

| When laughed at by the boys, and rallied
on his forgetfulness by Thaddeus, as
spokesman for them, he blandly said
An what the use of powder and ball.
when the thing of itself made such an
Elegant 'shelalah. ;"
He was great athlete, was strong and
active, and the impediments resulting
from his crippled condition were over
come by a trained muscular development
He was particularly fond of horseback
riding, and was one of the most daring
and best trained riders in the country.
Deer hunting was favorite pastime
of his early manhood, and his fund of
stories In this particular was limitless He
quite recently said that until he reached
his thirty eighth year he knew of no pro-
fessional man who took so much outdoor
exercise. Since that time. however, his
life has been sedentary ii the extreme.
and laborious as well.
In early youth he was sickly and quite
lame. An old lady, perhaps yet living,
in the neighborhood of his birthplace, who
was schoolmate, in narrating his early
history short time ago, said Il re-
member him as though it was yesterday;
lolks never supposed they would be able
to raise him, but they did He was still
and qulet-ike, different from the rest of
the boys, and sometimes they'd laugh at
him, boylike, and mimic his hmping
walk. They didn't mean any harm, but
Thaddeus was a sensi tive little fellow, and
it ranked him. I've always thought
that S the reason perhaps he has never
been back to the old homestead.
Who can tell how much of the power
of the after man may have been wrought
into his character by the cruel struggle
of that early warfare ? How many men
