The Goodman family emigrated to
Washington territory when it was in
habited only by Indians and few dar-
ing settlers, who principally engaged
in trapping and hunting.
Land being plentiful, they had moth
ing to do but select the place most
suited to their tastes and settle on it,
and this they did in the course of
month, choosing a charming site on
the banks of the sound, which gave
them view of the placid waters of that
inland sea, many snowy peak and the
vast forests which extended in every
direction.
The motive for selecting this spot was
that they could always obtain plenty of
fish; that it enabled them to travel
by canoe, without making long jour
neys afoot; that they could trade with
the Indians, If necessary, and that they
could draw supplies of fresh meat from
the forests surrounding them.
The family consisted of two little girls
and our hero, who was only nine years
of age when his parents settled in that
wild region; but, young as he was, he
proved to be useful, as American boys
generally are, and helped his father as
much as he could to build the log cabin
which gave them permanent shelter.
AS he grew up Walter accompanied
his father on hunting trips to provide
venison for food or cn fishing excur-
sions on Puget sound. SO that when he
was IA years of age he could handle q
rifle or bow and arrow very well, and he
was as dexterous as any Indian in the
use of the paddle
The Goodman family plodded on
their way in quietude for some years,
tillng their land and reaping their
wheat in the ordinary fashion of pio-
neers; but they had many an hour of
happiness when they heard that other
white people were coming into the
country and occupying homesteads
near them.
The fame of the place spread after
awhile and families from other states
f1ocked there in such numbers that the
Indians became alarmed, thinking they
would be driven out of the country by
this unexpected immigration, and to
prevent this all the tribes, both on the
coast and in the interior, united to ex-
pei or exterminate the white settlers.
The latter had not the most remote
Idea of the threatening storm, and It
was only when they heard of the mas
sacring of men, women and children IN
several places and the simultaneous ris-
ing of all the tribes throughout the
country that they became alarmed
enough to unite for defense.
The Goodman family was informed
of the approaching danger by friend
ly squaw, and the father took inlmed-
ate steps to protect those under his care
by sending his wife and girls TO little
hamlet few miles away. while he and
his son remained to guard the house. if
possible. or to learn the movements of
the foe.
Mr.. Goodman's caution had not been
exercised too soon, for that very same
night party of painted warriors APP
preached the place. hut their presence
was detected before they came too close
By the barking of dog; and thus
warned, both father and son ran from
the house amid a shower of arrows. and.
fleeing toward their canoe, launched it
IN hot haste and were soon beyond the
reach of their dusky foes.

A GRAB GAME.
The DfngIcy Idea In to Favor the
Rich Manufactures.


Rich Manufacturer
Chairman Dingley estimates that the
new tariff bill will increase the revenues
the first year by from $4,000, 900 to
$75,000,00o. This is an overestimate.
because many of the taxes levied in the
bill are prohibitory and will greatly cut
down the trade on which the estimate u
based.
But, whatever the increase of revenue.
it will be gained at tremendous cost 10
the people, for, as the Republics Wash
ington correspondent puts it. ten dol
lars will go into the pockets of the ia
vorcd manufacturers for every one dol
lar that goes into the treasury. Every
one dollar of revenue covers ten dollars
of robbery.
Kinley law only in the fact that it adds
fraud to oppression. There was no pre-
tense of anything but high protection in
the Mckinley bill, but the Dingley bill,
under plea of revenue needs and q
pretense of modifying the Mckinley
tariff, is a robbery measure in few re-
spects better and in many worse than
the Mckinley law. 1t taxes all the
necessaries of the poor to further en-
rich the millionaire hackers of the re-
publican party. 1t is only by fortunate
circumstance that the bill does not
greatly increase the price of food for il
leyies heavy taxes upon all foodstuffs
and the seed that goes into the ground.
If we imported them largely, starva-
ton would be increased by the enact
ment of this law.
How fraud has been practiced in the
framing of the bill is shown by the
agricultural schedule, where az attempt
is made to dupe the farmers by useless
protection. How petty deception has
been resorted to for the purpose of hid
ing robbery is shown by the shifting of
q whole class of low-taxed wools used
in the carpets and the clothing of the
poor to bigh-taxed class, without men,
tion of the rates levied on them.
More than month ago. the Republic
foreshadowed the completed bill by
stating with remarkable accuracy the
taxes agreed upon in large number of
important articles. 1t predicted that
the revenue which the bill would raise
would be chiefly private. The truth of
the report and the prediction is found
in the bill submitted to congress. The
fruit of the campaign of Doodle is har-
vest of grab.-St. Louis Republic.
In his accommodation of new
tariff measure President Mckinley does
not enlarge upon the benefits of pro-
lection. He takes it for granted that his
old tariff speech Is still in the minds OF
the people.-Detroit Free Press
The fact that we are shipping
wheat abroad will not prevent President
Mckinley from pointing with pride to
the dollar mark on the wheat market.
The prosperity maker must claim every-
thing.-St. Louis Republic.

THE DiNGLEY BILL.
sfmiInr to an Attempt Tint Failed In
1S0O.

The Dingley tariff bill is as near to the
Mckinley law as the committee dared
to go, or indeed found it necessary to
go. In tcw things the Mckinley rate
is exceeded by the Dingley rate. On
the whole it may be said that, with the
exception of metals the bill is long
stride backwards towards McKinleyism.
1t is estimated that the bill will increase
the revenues of the country by $112.-
100000 per year. The increase will be
distributed in the various scheddle as
follows.

Hanging Pictures.

In arranging pictures it should be re-
membered that oils, etchings and water
colors should not hang together and
that the drawing-room walls are not to
be packed with canvases if one is for
tunate enough to be able to buy them.
Two or three fine oil paintings are about
all any room can stand, too many giving
the effect of a picture gallery.-N. u.
