WITH PEN AND INK.
BY L. H. ".

To be a philosopher is not merely to have
subtle thoughts, nor even to found q school,
but 50 to love wisdom as to live according to Its
dictates, life of simplicity, independence,
magnanimity and trust.-THoREAU.
Thoreau was PROFESSIONALLY one of the
first naturalists whose writings were d.
vorced from the latin Of science and done
into the common tongue in way to draw
alter him, as the Piper of Hamlin his
enchanted crew, into woods and fields
the present race OF amateur naturalists.
AS long ago as 1912 Thoreau wrote of the
state reports Of natural history OF Massa-
chusetts: "These volumes deal much in
measurements and minute descriptions,
not interesting to the general reader, with
only here and there colored sentence to
allure him, like those plants growing in
dark forests, which bear only leaves with
out blossoms" Thoreau dropped upon
this truth, which was new then, with the
same uncanny guess-power that enabled
him to find his way through the densest
woods at sight, fathom the depth of a
pond at night, or lift a fish out Of its
waters with his hand. He saw that the
mind Of the general reader" is imma-
ture, as the eye of an infant, and that
it is the ''colored sentence" that allures
that half-dormant mind, even as the
cluster of bright worsted balls awakens
the response of the first, tentative, pink
listed blow from the child.
Many who have come since have in
fused even more OF the poetic color of ma
ture into their account of their observa
tons; but for all that, we are not de-
ceived into mistaking any other fol
Thoreau's superior. Adam was the first
man, and looms large even if Columbus
is his great, great grandson. OF all the
errors of premise that invalidate conclu
sions none is so distortionate to results a.
to take a mans draft apart from his bear
ings. By destroying the historical per
spective you destroy all that is OF value il
a picture OF men or events. We have
learned to apply the historical method t.
only a certain class of facts, when i
should be of universal application. AL
though it is hard to find man whe vii
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1893-06-01

seriously maintain that the recent break
ing of the ocean-crossing-recofd by steam
ers is a more remarkable and original
piece of genius than the initial voyage Of
Columbus, it is not hard-since Mark
Twain led the way-to find men and
women who consider the magazine Illus
trations "better" than Fra Angelico's
fresces or Cimabue's madonnas. In
spite of the stupidity it evinces, it is
amusing to notice the air OF original dar-
ing with which other "innocents" now
dare express these shop-worn heresies; it
reminds one Of the little boys bravery
who crosses on the. ice that he has just
seen bear his big brother safely over.
The truly original man does not need
to be dated for his individuality to be
apparent to the student who loves to go
back to the sources. To him the pioneer
strength of the man who conquered the
forest and grubbed out the stumps is of
more value than statistics showing the
superior yield of the same ground to the
next generation. Apart however. from
all relative values compared with the
heirs to his fields and woods and ponds,
Thoreau's greatest claim to the admira-
ton, and strongest appeal to the good
that is in us, comes through his unworld-
illness. He says to us, have broken the
letters of a greedy, striving world. Break
yours and taste the freedom of the gifts
OF God. He is greater than naturalist,
for he is man. and greater than man
in being free and fearless spirit. If we
could learn from him to stand upright,
and face life as it is, accepting no mans
definitions or valuations, scorning to lend
ourselves as echoes to earth-born sounds,
we might afford to spare what he has to
tell us of bird and fish and stream. Hap
PLY we do not have to surrender the lesser
for the greater good, for in the writings Of
Thoreau, as in certain mines, gold and
silver are found together, and by apply
ing different methods OF extraction both
precious metals are added to the treasury
of man.

Many are familiar with the famous Buffalo
Bi's " wonderful wild west show. Prior to his
venture abroad, Mr.. Cody exhibited ct Staten Is
land, in New York Harbor, where he became
afflicted with Malaria. Knowing the virtues of
Kickapoo Indian Sagwa, Mr.. Cody sent to the
agents for this wonderful Indian remedy, and after
using few bottles permanently cured.
"Kickapoo Indian Sagwa is a remarkable mcdi-
cine" said Mr.. Cody, "and have known of its
virtues a long time You may use my name, and
say that for what it claims to do It has no equal,
and for malaria and ehills it is far superior to
quinine in MANY ways.
"Kickapoo Indian Sagwa is also sure cure for
Rheumatism and If the Kickapoo Oil is used at the
same time it is impossible for rheumatic pains and
stiffness to remain. 1t is the only remedy the
Indians use, and has been known by them for
ages. An Indian would rs soon be without his
horse, gun, or blanket as to be without Sagwa."
This, from the leading plainsman in American
history, a man whose integrity is unquestioned
should prove beyond shadow of doubt that Kicka
poo Indian Sagwa is just what is claimed for it
an honest medicine of superior curative qualities
combining the best of the vegetable kingdom gath
cred from the forests and gardens Of nature.

Although the mystery of the death OF
Frank Bowie i'll Prince Georges coun-

of the universal belief has been obtain
ed in the confession of the murderers'

asserts that on the evening of the muir
der he talked with Dir. Bowie, helped
him TO get some corn out of his crib
near the murdered mans home and
made arrangements to go 10 work Tor
him the next day.
Barber's story, the police say, is that
he struck Mr. Bowie with 4 stone rs he
was sitting on his horse, after coming
through the gate by the walnut tree,
and Pinkney finished the job by hit
ting him with the locust stick, making
the horrible wound in his throat. After
this they dragged the body to the ra-
vine and Barber went to the home of
Mr. Hill to do the milking, as was his
custom. He and Pinkney returned at
9 o'clock that night, wrapped up the
BODY in sack, and started 10 carry it
to well, which has not been used for
wears, on the farm of Dir. Benz. II. c.
Bowie
Pinkney first took up the body and
carried it on his back until he became
so nauseated that he had to stop. Then
Barber took up the body, but refused
to carry it to the place for which they
first started, as it was about mile
from the scene of the murder. They
then threw the body into the well on
the farm of Mr.. Chas Bowie, which
was about half the distance.
They had planned to murder Mr..
Bowie some time before. One plot was
to waylay him on the road, cut loose
the horse, break up the buggy and
leave the occupant lying beside it,
so that it might appear that he was
killed accidentally.
Another plan was to 20 to his stable
late at night and make such noise
that Mr.. Bowie would come down to
see what was the matter, when they
would kill him and carry his body to
the well on STr. Benjamin Bowie's farm.
1t is reported that there are others
who are implicated i'll the crime.
