A Kicking Pioneer.
a pioneer is the outgrowth and result
of the era of gold discovery. He is one of
those who came the Isthmus across, the
plains over or the Horn around. The long
journey to reach the modern FL Dorado in
those days. and the many trials and Incl
dents encountered have all worked for
good. Not infrequently many OF the old
boys live their lives over again IN their
dreams, and imagine that they are once
more actors in the stirring scenes and
adventures of 40 and so" Their early
experience has made them tough and
capable of more than ordinary endurance.
Some of them became noted for their
excellent kicking qualities, rs witness the
following true recital One OF the old
boys" belonging to the class last referred TO
takes especial delight during his hours of
slumber III indulging in regular exhibit
ton of his qualities in that direction.
The other night he permitted his
, dreams to carry him back to the trip
across the plains and to the time
when his company was set upon by a pack
of ferocious wolves, with which they had
hand and foot tussels. In telling the story
of his adventure in dreamland, he said
that he had singled out one OF the largest
Of the brutes, and then drew his foot back
and gave tremendous kick, which, unfor-
tnnately for him, landed the foot through
the plastering OF the bedroom partition
and up to the knee in an adjoining room.
The casualties of this adventure now neces-
state the carrying of the big toe III a sling
for the next month The curious DESTROYS
of fathOming the personality of the pio-
M do al, Al
and social column tor the next day or two,
as his wife is determined 10 take him to
some noted summer resort, with the hope
OF drawing his mind away from the asso-
Citations of Pioneer Hall, where the old
boys meet frequently and live over in story
the adventures OF early days, and then go
home and live those times over in their
dreams. The argonaut whose latest ex-
plot is referred to above, has not yet worked
off the rough Burr of the pioneer era, and
Will be especially tender-footed for the next
few days, and probably dreamless.
ANOTHER Hor DAY. = Yesterday was
another very warm day. According to the
Signal Service noon report the record stood:
Tatoosh Island, 52o; Olympia, 7Oo; Spokane
Falls, So; Dayton, 1919; Portland, 74o;;
Roseburg, 75o; Mendocino, $50; Red Bluff,
104o; Sacramento, $50; San Francisco, 67o;;
Keller, $40; San Luis Obispo, 90o; Los An
geles, 940; San Diego, $50; Salt Lake, 90;
Cheyenne, SO; Denver. $50; North Platte,
$50; Omaha, SO; Yankton, SO In the
absence of the usual evening report for
yesterday, we have no definite data upon
which to give the maximum temperature
for the afternoon. But it was one degree
hotter than at noon on Saturday, and
several private thermometers in town
registered higher on that day, while in
some buildings it was less 1t is safe to say
that fair average would be from 101o to
10f', although many persons found the
heat even more oppressive than on Satur-
day, owing to the fact that searching
wind blew from the north. The evening
continued quite warm, but shortly after
midnight a cool breeze came up from the
south, and there is some reason to hope
that to-day may be cooler.
