YOUNG GIRLS LIBERTY.

Youth Is a Time OF Danger.

The liberty and freedom OF action al

'eThat everything in life IS tending TO make
people freer IN thought and action is un-
doubtedly true, and il is heaithful ten

You are now on the home-streteh Of the

or the need of caring for some dear rela-

Thnn-hf He Was Hind.

A bright young lawyer Of Wilmington
had an experience a couple Of weeks ago
that he would not care 70 have repeated.
and which has since furnished his friends
with great deal OF amusement. The
young man had occasion 10 transact some
business in Philadelphia and went Up on
a P, w & 3. railroad train. and having
been up late the night before, he decided
TO have nap on the cars. a few minutes
after leaving Wilmington he was fast
asleep. and he did not waken until the
train had entered the tunnel near Phila-
delphia.
The lawyer awoke with a start. having
been dreaming. and as It was intensely
dark the thought struck him with fash
that his sight had failed him.
My Godi Am I blind?' he exclaimed.
and he Jumped up and started up the car
aisle with outstretched arms Just as the
car came % the exit 81 the tunnel he found
himself with outstretched arms about The
neck 81 an elderly woman who had just
arisen 10 20 for a drink Of water.
The womans husband was aboard the
train and he would very likely have at
tempted 70 thrash the young man for what
seemed hts Importance had not the latter
n tones broken BY the great relief from
the awful fear OF blindness explained the
matter TO him. AS Il was, the husband
accepted his explanation. but continued to
lock as Il he had suspicious.

AN IDEAL SPOT.
Description of n Locality Which Is n
Paradise for Farmers.

WINDOW. Lewis Co. Wash. Aug. a.
There are about 10 600 acres of unoccupicd
land In this township. the center of which
is about seven miles from Toledo. the head
of navigation on the Cowlitz river, and
about fourteen miles from Winlock, a city
on the Northern Pacific railroad. A great
deal of this land Is easily cleared, and Will
produce good crops OF grain. grass. veget-
ables and fruit One of the best features OF
this part of the state is crops never fail.
Water is good and abundant The winters
are mild. 50 much so that cattle VIII live
in the woods on the wild feed alone. y
neighbor of ours raised a couple of good
mich cows and never fed them a bite after
they were yearlings until they came in as
COWS. The summers are extremely pleas
ant. There is always plenty of rain TIL the
1st OF July then after that occasional
showers. The nights are always cool
enough for pleasant sleeping. There Is
some vacant homestead land IN this town
ship yet which viii pay any industrious
man 10 take. The railroad lands are all
repriced. and low az that. None OF the
school land is yet sold. And this land is
most excellent Cedar creek and Salmon
creek. small logging streams, run through
this body OF land. Along these streams Is
a great deal OF good cedar. which can be
made into bolts and noated down TO the
mills on the Cowiitz river Now here Is an
opportunity for energetic men 10 make
homes and money. There are roads and
trails opened in every direction through
the township. Tnunderztorms are almost
unknown. There IS not a lightning rod in
this county. Men viii comfortably wear
cotton overalls and straw hats in winter.
have often heard IL remarked by peo-
pie coming from other parts OF this state
that the uplands are freer Of gravel than
any other county. \ neighbor Of mine told
me that he raised oats on Cedar creek bot

his arm and straw as large as his finger.
