Two Oregon Ladies Climb a Tree.

The Portland Oregonian of Oct. 26
tells the following: Yesterday, Mrs.
NJ. and Miss c., a couple of well-knOwn
ladies of Kalama, went out into the
woods back of town to gather mass
leaves for ornamental work. BuSily
intent upon the objects of search, they
paid little heed to the route they trav-
el6d, until the approach of night warn
ed them of the necessity of returning.
Look ng about, they failed to find the
path by which they came, and realized
that they were lost. Every step added
to their bewilderment, and as darkness
soon set in, their situation became
painfully unpleasant. Hearing the
movements OF some animal in the
brush near them, they ascended an al
der tree with eelerit y that would as
tOnish the average female. The ami
NAL, whatever it was, remained in the
vicinity some time, and the ladies re-
manned in the tree, where with PEN
knives drawn, they determined to
make it warm for any foe that might
attack them. About midnight they
heard the welcome shout of Dick Sort
er, the veteran hunter, who WAS at the
head of party in search of them. A
few minutes more Dick, with his lau-
tern, was at the foot of the tree. The
thankfulness of the ladies and the joy
of their friends can be imagined better
than described.

Thrilling Reminiscence of From
tier I,ife.-A Daring Ride.

The death of Joseph Cooper, of How
ard county, one of the oldest and most
respected residents of this section, re-
calls startling incident connected with
the Cooper fort, which was located
about eight miles above this city, on
the Missouri river. The time this Oc-
Cured Was in the year 1915, or 1916,
and at that tiUue the country was full
of hostile Indians.
Just at daybreak the settlement was
alarmed by an attack of Indians, and
it was only by the utmost bravery and
daring that they were retained in
check long enough to allow the fami-
lies to rush inside the fori for safety.
Once within the wall they held the
savage3 in detiance-fOr a time only.
On CONSULTATION it was decided that the
whites could not resist but q short time
the attack of the Indians; and, in order
to secure aid, courier must be sent
to the Kincaid fort, almost Immediate
ly opposite this city, and about ten
miles from the place in which
they were surrounded. There were
but few men, and it was too haZ-
ardOusa trip to think of sending a wO-
man. What to do they knew not. But
delay was dangerous; every moment
was fraught with peril, and had it not
been for the her, ism of Miss 'Millie'
CoOper-a sister of the worthy pioneer
abOve-in all probability
they would all have perished. She
stepped calmly forward, and babe
them bring her favOrite horse be-,
longing to the family, and with the
tears and prayers of Ler imperiled
friends, rode forth on her noble mis-
sion. As she dashed out of the enclC-
sure the m1rderous Indians let fly
shower of arrows, and with blood trick
ing down her horses sides, she fair
" flew from danger. In a short
lime she arrived at the Kincaid fort
and related her story. Reinforcements
were sent out Immediately, and before
the dinner hour the rascally redskins
were routed and the settlers saved.
The noble bravery of the young girl
won her a name that will not soon be
forgotten in this part of the State
(MO.) Pioneer.

Good Advice.

The following good advice is from an
address delivered before the Bucks
County (Pa.) Agricultural Society by
Thomas Shellcross:
Economical farming implies several :
conditions. We must raise greater
crops per acre, 1t takes no longer to
cultivate good crop than a poor one.
We must have the most improved i'm
plements; machinery is cheaper than
labor. A man with corn-plow can do
double the work he could do with a
cultivatOr, and do it better. A good
washing machine materially lightens
the cares of the household. The sew
ing machine might be a great labor
saving machine; but since its intrOduc-
tiOn there are so many useless seams
made that the labOrs o. the women do
not seem to be made any lighter. / re-
member once seeing a garment with
nineteen tucks.
There is no economy in purchasing
half-wOrn implements. They will be
continually out of order. The first wear
is always the best.
Pay as you GO. A man with cash in
his hands ean always purchase to much
better advantage than he who expects
a credit. / have seen corn bring S1.10
rer bushel on credit of nine months,
when the market price was only eighty
five cents.
The farmer must keep well posted.
1t is a great matter of economy that be
be well supplied with papers and mag
azines. Not only his county paper,
which tells him of affairs about home;
but also one of the great dailies, which
lets him look right out into the world.
AT least one of the journals devoted to
agriculture should find access to his
home. One or two hints picked up
through the year will amply repay the
cost of subscription:

Taxation of Banks and Bankers.

The following report of taxation upon capi-
tai, deposits, and circulation of banks and
bankers, appears as supplement to the re-
port or the Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue.: Since the organization of National banks,
the amount realized from these sources to the
close of the LIST fiscal year was So, ,9S9, ,374;
amounts realized during the last fiscal year,
So, go, 75S; amount paid from National banks
on deposits alone during the period of their
existence, up to June 30, 1875, $30,01S,0 ,02S;
amount paid during the last fiscal year, S3,-
427 81
The Commissioner calls attention to ex-
emption on deposits in savings banks. He
says by the existing law deposits made by any
one person are not liable to tax unless they
exceed $4,000. If, says the Commissioner,
deposits in these so-called savings institutions
are thought proper subject for exemption
from taxation where they are employed with
such profitable results, it were better to re-
turn TO the rule adopted by Congress in 1866,
where deposits made by any one person in ex-
cess of $500 were subject to taxation.

not in the power of any combination that

that President Grant is party, in any shape

are Republicans who have a third-term idea,
they are not the friends of Grant or the party

COnaDanions for Life.

When does daughter appear so at
tractive as when showing her love to
father or mother-as when employed
in tightening their cares or relieving
their burdens? 1t would not be far
IRON wrong to say to a young man
who is looking with some degree OF In,
terest for a life-companion:-Would
Won know W hat kind of wife she will
make upon whom now you have your
eve? Ask what kind of daughter she
is now. If she is indolently selfish,
leaving care and work to her mother
especially if she is unIoving or unduti-
tableware Of her-sbe is not likely to
make you happy. If she is an.affee-
tionate and self-denying daughter; II
she is intimate and confidential with
her parents, you have in that the best
promise of happiness in the future.
The eve of father or mother beaming
with delight as it rests upon a daugh-
ter's form, moving lightly in their
presence, is an unspoken recommenda-
ton of untold value.

Two Anecdotes About President
Lincoln.

Jadge ". l.. Gilbert, who lectured
at fremont Hall, Boston, recently, on
H ow ManGroWS,' i'll the course OF
his lecture related the following: In
the summer Of1S62 | had occasion to
call on the President in Washington, to
urge the claim ul an officer whose pay
had been uuDjustly withheld by the
War Department. When | entered
Mr.. Lincoln was alone. | said; i have
not called to ask for an Office, either for
myself or for any friend / then went
on to cite the facts in the case of the
officer. When had flashed Mr.. Lin
coin said: 'When yol came In you said
you did not come to ask for Office, but
the fact is you bring upa matter which
will give me more trouble than an ap-
pIication for Office After looking over
some documents Lincoln added: Il do
not see how the Government of the
United States can afford not to pay an
officer for rendering it services He
then endorsed on the Uficer'S commits
sion the following words: Ascertain
length of time of services and pay
without fOrnnalities. y. LINCOLN
These ara but two incidents among
thousands in the public life of that no
BILE man, who stood ever ready to heal
the wounds of lacerated hearts. Who
shall say that Abraham Lincoln did
not thus grow in the regard and sim
cere affection, not only of his own peo-
pie, but of all mankind?
Another case was that of young ar
tillery officer, who had served CALAMITY
in Fremont's army and received Sc
we're wound. The War Department
refused to consider his claims, and he
was destitute and sick. | told him to
90 to the White House and state the
facts in his case to Lincoln. When he
returned to me his face was wreathed
in smiles, he produced monstrous OF
fetal envelope addressed to the Secre-
tary of War, enclosing his worn and
soiled commission. On the outside
was endorsed Let the within-Damed
be paid Up to date, disregarding form

THE Guibord fnneral was not dis
turbed, owing to the large force of sol
diers accompanying it. The long con-
tinued contest over the question. of
burial was one Of the remarkable events
of the time. A man who in prosperity
devoted his wealth to his Church, and
who was patronized by Bishops and
prelates, died ut last, poor, and guilty
of no crime other than that of prefer
ring to retain in certain library, books
condemned by the Church. For this,
he was eXcOmmunicated, denied the
Sacraments, and burial was refused his
remains when, being dead, it was pro-
posed to place them in the lot he had
purchased. The contest has been kept
up for a long time,-blOodshed being
threatened more than once. The sar-
cophagus containing his body, encased
in solid cement, is at last resting in con-
secrated ground. Whether it can be
unconsecrated, aud the mnledictiOns of
the Bishop substituted we do not
know. 1t is evident that the feeling
existing is strCng enough for this, if
the Church forms provide for it.
