the glassy surface. The entrances were all far below near the bottom of the stream, and nowhere did they find an opening by which they might enter. The poor beavers were in despair; the cold was steadily in creasing and chilling them to the very mar row of their bones, and they felt that what ever they did was to be done quickly or else they would die there in the bitter atmos- phere within a few feet of their relatives and friends, who were doubtless at that very moment busily eating or taking long, cosy winter maps in their warm, comfort able houses.
 The unfortunate exlles made frantic ef forts to dig through the ice, but they found that 1t only wore out their toenails and made their feet dreadfully sore, all to no purpose. Then they tried to dig their way through the top of one of the houses, but the frost had rendered the mud-plastered sticks of which 1t was built as hard as stone; so they were obliged to abandon that Idea also. They jumped up and down and banged with their tails on the tops of several of the houses, hoping to attract the attention of some of the inhabitants, who might In some way aid them in effecting an entrance, but all their efforts seemed fruitless, and they were just about to resign themselves to their fate and lie down on the Ice to die, when the top of partly ruined house, on which they had been jumping as a last resort, caved In with several of them. You may be sure that 1t did not take the freezing ami ma!s long to scramble through the opening and make their way by various underwater passages to their several homes, where

after lea'ty meal, they at once settled down 10 sleep without disturbing any of their friends, who were one and all found wrapped in deep slumber.
 But the next spring, when the Ice melted and the village awoke, the beavers who had so narrowly escaped death told the others all that had befallen them. And then the chief Of the beavers, an animal so old that his whtskers were gray with age, issued proc lamation in which he ordered all of his people to fasten wooden paddles to their tails, so that in case of similar occurrence they would be able to make enough noise to be heard by those below, who could easily break through the roof from within. And the beavers obeying this order, soon found chat these paddles were of the greatest as sistance in building and clustering their houses; and gradually, through much exer else in using the wooden implements. the shapes of their tails changed till they were large and fiat, like the tails of beavers of the present time.

 We do not recommend this form of sail ing; although its inventor never met with an accident, but we can recommend one which Is almost as good, and with which you can cruise about the country finely.

Many years ago tbare l,ved In this country . number of beavers who were just like those of the present day except that their tails were long and thin, like those of musk rats, instead of being large and flat as they are now. And the reason that the tails of the beaver folk became so changed in shape is this:
 Even in those early days the beavers lived h hne houses which they built in ponds and streams, and in which they laid by a great store of food to last them through the winter when ice should chain up the water courses and keep the animals pris- oners in their own homes. Of course they took good care to be snugly at home be- fore the cold weather arrived, but once (and you shall hear how nearly they came to losing their lives through their care iessness) A party of incautious young beay- CTS went too far in search of some par sicuiarly desirable logs, and, to their dis may. found on returning to the stream which held their homes that its surface was covered with thick coating of ice. They had been 50 hard at work over the logs that they had failed to notice the in. creasing cold, but now the unexpected sight of the ice sent chill to their very hearts. Still they did not intend to sit still and freeze. but set about their return as speedily as possible, hoping that some charitable relative had remembered their absence and Kept passage open by which they might return to their fine. warm houses.

A STORY WITH 4 MORAL.

Felix Rogers parents died when he was a yer small boy.
 Re had no brothers or sisters, and his onty relative, an aunt, his mothers sister, although a poor widow who was obliged to work hard to provide for her own family. klndly took him to her humble home.
 She had five ehlldren-Alice, George, May, Li2zie and Leon-and Felix made the sixth.
 Feiix was at the head of his class; he was very bright and learned rapidly.
 They all went to a public school.
 When Felix was 14 years old he still lived with his aunt; but she was not so poor as she had been when Felix came to live with her.
 Her uncle had died and left her 8 small sup of moAey. but quite enough to live com feftably without work.
 Felix was a strong, tall, good-natured fel- low.
 His honesty and truthfulness made him great favorite with all his sehool-fellows and ali who knew him.
 One day at lunch hour, as he was walking home from school, fire engine passed, but fires are SC numerous in large city that it did not attract the children's attention.
 From the distance Felix noticed crowd gathering around the apartment house in whieh he lived.
 As he drew nearer this Is the scene that met hls eyes: Several fire engines at work. men shouting, women screaming, children sobbing and thick, black smoke pouring from the doors and windows, while firemer were climbing ladders and people coming down hre-escapes.
 In the midst of this scene of horror Felix saw a chiia at an upper window.
 The firemen were affaid to get 1t, as they thought the wall might fall at any minute.
 Felix looked again, the child was in the third story; she-was little girl about four years old
 Her danger increased as the seconds sped
 Felix was about to run up ladder when policeman said, roughly: "See here, young man, don't go up there or you will be killed surc. One dead is hotter than two.''

Mrs. Richmond went to see Felix's aunt, and with her consent she adopted Felix. She had lost a son about Felix's age, ana Mrs. Rogers knew Felix had good home, a loving mother and dear little sister.
 He would go to college, and some day might become a great man.
 Yet she was very sorry to let him go. as she loved him as if he were her own son, but she thought, "He will have good education and a chance to be lawyer or write great books, and if he stays with me he soon will leave school and have to work for his liy- ing?'
 Was she not unselflsh?
 Felix never forgot his aunt's kindness, and by and by when she moved to the country and three of her children went to college some people thought it was Felix's doings, and perhaps it was.
 So we see, whether boy is poor or rich be can always be kind and loving and help others EDNA FRANCES DESSAR.

on the very rear end of your "Doat," SO that the lower stick of your sail, or boom, will not strike you when 1t swings from side to side. With the wind blowing from straight behind 1t is "plain sailing but when 1t blows from the sides or from almost in front you will have some difficulty at first In finding just the right angle to hold your 'rudder" to make your boat go ahead: but afttr all the motions of the thing will teach you how to sail much better than can tell you and In much less time.
 The best part of this is that you can sail about the fields, having the same fun that you would on the water, and without the slightest danger, so that your parents will not be constantly worrying about you, as they otherwise would.
 Better still, you can easily change your craft into a snowboat or iceboat when the ground is covered with snow and the water with ife. This is great advantage over real botts, and we will tell you how to do 1t iater when the winter weather commences.

 Take hickory stick feet inches long and inches thick at the large end. and another feet long and 2 inches thick at the large end, and smooth them carefully after Npeeling of the bark.

This they will do in a great many cases, but if they do get the right one and finish the drawing in the same num- Der of strokes used by their opponents, they take their turn at beginning the drawing, while the other side must complete 1t. But If the guessers do not draw the right animal. or If in drawing it they use one stroke more than did the others in their half of the de. sign, they must guess again and complete another picture. So the game goes on until the bell rings, when the side which has started the most pictures is the winner.

up he dashed through the smoke before the astonlshed policeman could stop him.
 Felix was as quick as flash; he took the child on his arm and descended rapidly.
 He reached the sidewalk in safety and heard the policeman mutter: "He is plucky boy. I am policeman, and wouldn't have done it; neither would the fremen, and everybody knows they are brave"
 Three minutes later, with a crash that was heard many blocks, the wall fell down; nobody was hurt, for the policeman ordered the people to ''stand back" which they did h a hurry.
 The next day Fellx's name was in the newspapers, with a long account of his bravery.
 The mother of the child he rescued was Mrs. Richmond, wealthy lady.
 She did not live in the fiathouse, but her nursegirl went there to see her sister and took the child with her.

THE THIRD JUDGEsHIP or NHE
FIRST CIRCUIT
How the Act Creating the Position
Was Passed-Caypless Recommended
by Republican Territorial Committee.

Edgar Caypless has been endorsed for
Circuit Judge by the Republican Ter
ritorial Central Committee, and 1t IS
stated that he is very likely to be ap1
pointed by the president. Caypless Is
recommended for the third judgeshlp,
provided for in the act that passed the
legislature some weeks ago.
Representative Dickey was not The
author nor the introducer Of the
bill as has been stated and he was on
the war path this morning when he
read that he was accused of having
framed the act for the purpose of max
ing a vacancy for his son, District
Judge Lyle a. Dickey. The act had an
unusual history in the legislature. 1t
was introduced by Representative Rob-
ertson and passed the house, but it got
to the senate when that body was in a
bad humor, and the bill was laid on the
table on first reading. Two weeks later
the senate found out what ii had done
and as the only way to remedy matters
it passed bill of it's own, of the same
effect as the o. it had tabled, and
sent it to the house, in time for it to be
passed at the end of the session.
Representative Dickey says that he
made a campaign for Judge DiCkey be-
fore the bill was ever introduced but
not afterwards, the petition in Dickey'
behalf being sent to Washington in the
beginning of February
The following is the endorsement of
| Caypless by the Central Committee:
Resolved by the Republican Ter
ritorial Committee of the Territory of
| Hawaii That because of his integrity
ability and legal experience, and be-
| cause he is a Republican in principle
this committee hereby indorse and re-
commend Edgar A. Caypless, Esq, fol
appointment as Third Judge of the Ter.
ritory of Hawaii; and
Resolved, That we heartily concur
in the resolution of the Bar Association
showing the need of speedy action in
the matter of the appointment of q
Third Judge because of the accumula
ton of legal business in our courts.
Resolved, That a copy of this res
olution be forwarded to the President
of the United States"

fears are expressed by astronomers on

accomplished by the w. II. Crocker
eclipse expedition sent out under the
auspices of the University of Califor-
mia, and in charge of members of the
staff of the Lick Observatory. Profess
sor William Wallace Campbell, direc-

cablegram yesterday from Professor c.
ID. Perrine in charge of the expedi-
ton. 1t was dated at Penang, Sumatra
and was as follows:
THE sky was somewhat cloudy at
the time of the eclipse. The program
was interfered with considerably. How
ever, it is hoped that a portion of the
programme was successfully carried
through. The sky was considerably
darker than on the occasion of the
eclipse last year in Georgia. 1t was not
as dark as was expected The form OF
the corona is very similar to the form
of the last two eclipses in that the Ions
