1he Garden SPOT Of America.

The opening of the line of the North
r Pacific Ry., into Lewiston, Idaho,
within the next week will bring that
city and the country surrounding it in-
to the prominence they have long de-
served.
Lewiston is situated in a valley of
surprising richness with a climate of
unusual equability. These have made
it the center of nj of the most pro-
ductive regions of America. Tho hills
protect it from the cold and storms
and lend their influence to make the
valley the garden spot of the Pacific
northwest. The rich soil, abundance
of pure water and splendid vegetables,
and bountiful harvest of field pro-
ducts, and it will not be long with the
admirable railway facilities now n
joyed, before the Lewiston Valley will
become conspicuous as one of the best
places on earth for the industrious
farmer to establish a home.
For the past two years the resources
of the valley have been taxed to meet
the ever growing demand of local and
foreign markets, which is now aug
mented by the demand from the orient.
The speedy settlement and enlarged
cultivation of the valley is sure to fol-
low the completion of the Northern
Pacific Ry., will give it a prominent
part in supplying the worlds demand
for fruits and breadstufs.
A little to the southeast and reached.
by the way of Lewiston, lies the rich
Nez Perce reservation which was re.
Gently opened to settlement, with its
thousands of acres of fine farming
lands waiting for the industrious farm
er to cultivate them and convert them
into profitable farms or fruit ranches.
The city of Lewiston, population A.
600, even without railway facilities has
long been regarded as a most delight
full spot for residence and now must
surely become the objective point Of
many q tourist and homeseeker. II ct

ACTING AFRAID OF DOGS.
It Is the surest Way In the World to
Provoke an Attack.

1t Is the surest Way In the World to
Provoke an Attack.
1t is curious, to me wonderful, how
we'll dogs understand people. They
seem at a glance or very soon thereafter
to decide in their minds whether or not
1t would be safe to assail one who en-
tiers their owners premises, says Lip.
pincott's Magazine. My own opinion is
that every one of them, big or little, of
high or low degree, would like to bite
every stranger that he sees. Their love
for their master makes them jealous or
makes them pretend to be jealous of
everybody who approaches them, and
they debate momentarily whether or not
a.comer is afraid of them. If he is not,
they either extend a friendly salute.
which always is deceitful, or assume to
be Indifferent. If he is, they give him
a bite. o or less deep, then stink
away from possible consequences.
For years and years I have followed
the rule, when visiting a person resid-
ing out Of town, unless l know positive
ly that he keeps nc dog Of any size. to
halt at the gate. raise q halloo and
await not only my hosts invita-
tion, but his approach and his 40.
compartment into his house. l could
not tell the number of times wherein l
have been barked at furiously from the
inside by dogs whose owners declared
that in all their lives they had never
done such a thing before to a man of
genteel appearance.
The counsels and admonitions bestow-
ed upon me might have excited some
gratitude if they had not been wholly
useless. I have been asked SO many
times that it makes me almost sick to
have the question repeated, "Why don't
you just go along without noticing
such things, not being or at least pre-
tending not to be afraid? Not one dog
in 10000 will try to bite a gentleman
unless he is provoked or sees that he is
being avoided"

Around Mt. Rainier.


This mountain is the grandest in the
United states. It is more than 1900
feet high, is covered with ice and snow,
has beautiful parks and noble forests
at its base, and is much frequented by
camping parties, tourists and noun
tain climbers.
Some years ago the Northern Pacific
fitted out q party that assembled the
mountain to its highest point. An
article in Wonderland 98 describes
some experiences Of the party in camp

 Now they lived in two little rooms. with few comforts and fewer friends!
 One other memory Ruth has of those happy days is a sad one, of going to say "good-by" to papa when he was so i'll, and how he took her in his arms and whispered, Take care of mamma for me, dear little Ruth His parting words to the child have never been for gotten, and they have colored all her life.
 Her constant thought and care of her sweet, pretty mother has made her old beyond her years. And there is Annabel, her beautiful doll baby, that she loves with all a mothers devotion.
 While the doctor was holding con sultation with her mother that morn- ing little Ruth was having most serious conversation with Annabel in the corner.
 "Annabel," whispered Ruth, CT can not give quite so much time to you now, my dear, for I am very busy in- deed. As soon as the doctor goes I must make tea and toast for mamma, and then if you are a very good child you may go out with me to buy her medicine"
 But after the doctor had departed poor Ruth was doomed to disappoint- ment. She made the tea and toast, but when she offered to go for the medi- cine her mother said: Ruth, dear, 1 am afraid we cannot afford the medi- cine just now. have so little money; I am afraid to spend it until I am sure of earning more.

through the movements. Every night kemona was prouder of them. They grew more impatient daily to march to attack Ghoor- -Ghee-Tee.
 It was wiser to go forth to attack than to wait until ali the hostile tribes of Ghoor-Ghee-Tee could be brought into the land of Mah-Coh- in one army. A council of the chiefs, each of whom would command the people of his own village, was held with Binnie and Kemona- It was agreed by all that it was wise to march at once.
 Forward" shouted Binnie in the dialect of the savages the next morn ing.
 Forward" repeated the great chief who commanded the twenty battalions into which the 10000 fighting men had been divided.
 So they marched in dusky procession with Binnie, the San Francisco boy, at their head and with Kemona at his right hand as adviser and second in command. They forded streams, climbed mountains and crossed valleys in military order. The savages already acted like soldiers and were evidently proud of what they had learned. In many ways they showed that they were devoted to Binnie. whom they promised to follow through all dangers where he would lead.
 "To-morrow," said one of the chiefs to Binnie, i've will see the Marwise River. On the other side Ghoor-Ghee- Tee has his greatest village"
 The body of savage runners, who were doing duty as scouts, was dou- bled, so that there were 200. At night & scout brought word to Binnie that he had, from high hill, sighted the Mar wise at short distance of some miles, and had seen some war canoes In mo- tion.

You will take with you strong body of picked men, who will wait for you at the rivers edge They must not build any fires. Should you need help send across the river al once. I will keep picket line all the way from our camp to the river, and so will know in a few minutes what happens. Now go.''
 Kemona needed no second command but was off almost before Binnie ceased speaking. The army of savages was halted in dense forest. Among then Binnie walked with the brotherly and chivalric feeling that belongs to true soldiers on the eve of battle. When the savages saw that Binnie was cool anC calm and that he evidently did not feal Ghoor-Ghee-Tee's thousands of black skinned warriors, they were filled with enthusiasm, which they manifested 1T low cries of good" But Peloto saiC nothing, and in his eyes burned bale full light, which did not escape th' seemingly careless but really keer glance of Binnie

Some small boys did not succeed in getting on to the Wind Wagon, as it now darted forward. They rolled in the dust and cried. Willie Twinkle and his crew were all aboard. The boys stood up and held on by the rigging. So. with a fresh wind, and all sails in cluding topsails and jibs set, the Wind Wagon rounded into Valencia street and bowled rapidly along, to the ad- miration of many spectators.
 The officers of the Market-street rail- way, hearing what had happened, hu- namely telephoned to have all cars held at the foot of Market street, for fear of collision, and sent force of police men to the junction of Market and Va lencia streets to stop the queer sailing rolling craft there if they could.
 Meanwhile Willie Twinkle was the hero of. the hour. Only once he com promised his popularity by describing the wind as "a spanking breeze.
 Several boys looked a little shame faced until Captain Willie said that he had heard a sailor say this and that 1t meant only that the wind blew very hard. Then the boys breathed easier.
 The Wind Wagon fairly flew along Va lencia street. Willie Twinkle stood at the helm and all went well. He already had dreams of going into business in competition with the Market street railway. The first real excitement was at the turn where Valencia street joins Market. The wind had steadily grown stronger and the Wind Wagon had a high rate of speed.

 This called all the crew to the steer ing sweep. Could they round into Mar ket street? They were all strong and cool-headed and they made the turn In ship shape fashion.
 But they noticed with horror that the bowsprit had impaled fat policeman .who had been in the middle Of the car track. and there he hung at the bow of the Wind Wagon like an apple on a pointed stick. Nor was this all. for the wind suddenly shifted and all the sails with their heavy booms swept across the deck like a flash. knocked over board half of the little girls with their dolls, rolled the others off and moved down a whole squad of policemen, who lay in the street in a blue row as the Wind Wagon swept on in it's mad career.
 There were wailings of children and the sound of gruff police voices in the air. Willie and his crew were scared but they nevertheless felt proud of the way in which they had turned the cor ner.
